Captain Marvel arrives at just the right moment to save Tony.On the occasion of #InternationalOlympicDay, revisit how far India has come in terms of performance at the most prestigious sporting event. This is something that initially bothered me while watching the movie. Captain Marvel conveniently shows up the moment Tony Stark is dying and brings him and Nebula home from space. How does she know where to find them? We were given the answer to this back in March. There's a post-credits scene in "Captain Marvel" that looks as if it's a scene from "Avengers: Endgame." Marvel released it online for you to watch here. That scene never appears in "Endgame" but is extremely important for understanding how Tony gets back home. In it, Captain Marvel arrives at the Avengers HQ, where she meets Captain America, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and more. She finds out Nick Fury is missing, and the scene ends. It can be assumed this is where she also meets Tony's fiancée, Pepper Potts.

Tony has been sending her transmissions from space via his Iron Man suit. The remaining heroes team up to face Thanos in "Avengers: Endgame." If she's been receiving those messages, then she was likely able to tell Captain Marvel where to find Stark and Nebula. I'm not a scientist, otherwise I'd be off studying quantum physics. So I'm not going to pretend to know whether the time travel in "Endgame" checks out. Lucky for us, Newsweek asked some scientists to look over the science in the movie, and they said "Endgame" did a pretty good job in its attempt to " adhere to current high level-thinking about time travel."įor what it's worth, the time travel in "Endgame" is explained rather quickly. Not a lot of time is spent on it, so I just accepted whatever I was watching on screen for the most part without worrying too much. If Tony Stark tells me he figured out how time travel works, I trust him.
