The final act of Avengers: Endgame boasted some truly epic moments, the various snaps, returning characters, and new Mjolnir-wielders to name but a few, but the final hour of the movie also gained attention for a few real headscratchers too, and not just Scott Lang somehow being in multiple places at once and Pepper Potts firing at absolutely no one.

When Thanos completely decimated Captain America's shield, it was designed to drive home just how much of a physical threat he was even without the Infinity Stones. The vibranium weapon, one that had saved Steve Rogers' life on more than one occasion, was snapped in half after being savagely attacked by Thanos' blade.

This was a big deal, and was something that left Steve as good as defenceless on a battlefield boasting the kind of cosmic and alien power he simply couldn't compete with, even being Captain America. And yet, when the camera pans back to show the scale of the Avengers' forces after the dead heroes returned, the shield can be seen completely whole and as good as new.

No, Cap didn't utilise the Time Stone, he didn't have another shield at hand, and he certainly didn't piece the fractured vibranium back together. Continuity errors happen all the time, only this was at one of the biggest points of one of the biggest movies of all time, and so naturally was seen by just about everybody.
