The Avengers: Endgame timeline is very confusing, as plenty of breakdown videos and articles have proven in the wake of the film's release. Whether it's trying to unpick exactly how time travel is supposed to be logically sound in a movie that features an army of floating space centipedes, or how a bunch of rocks fit together to make one cohesive timeline - there's plenty that's all over the place in the name of science fiction.

But let's get real for a moment here: Endgame knows and embraces this. Before we even get into the nitty gritty stuff, it's poking fun at its own ludicrous premise by having War Machine and Antman go through all the time travel movies that don't really make sense, but everyone forgives them as they're great entertainment anyway.

Back to the Future, A Wrinkle In Time, even Die Hard (no time travel but hey, it can get a mention either way), are all thrown out in one big meta evaluation of their own film. It's the most self aware moment in Endgame, and a lovely nod to the ridiculousness that comes in its wake.
