It’s a strange concept. If someone invented a time machine, do you think we would find a billion versions of you?

But, how could any of it exist if the 2014 Thanos is killed in present day? It literally takes away any reason for time travel to have taken place at all

Yes

By going back and changing stuff, you don't alter the future. You create a new timeline that branches off.

The timeline you came from is still intact. That's why they don't go back and kill Baby Thanos-- it wouldn't work.

It's a take on multiverse theory. Like in Terminator

Tilda Swinton also explains it in the movie.

Days of me and me and me and me. I could go to different timelines and bring back versions of me.

It's understandable given the sheer amount of characters in this film, but it is strange how little this involves the outside/non-superhero world.

The final battle seems so isolated. Maybe a response to the "disaster porn" critique? Budget issue?

I'm sure many of you will find this dude grating, but I like his pitch meetings. A few of his jokes are spot on.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
