Spider-Man: Far From Home Trailer - The REAL Reason Nobody Mentions Infinity War?
1. Endgame And The Undone Snap
Fundamentally, Avengers: Endgame doesn't reverse what Thanos did, the plot uses time travel precisely because the surviving heroes go back in time to stop Thanos from clicking at all. The other theories about them making an alternative Gauntlet of their own or visiting other dimensions to bring other Infinity Stones or other characters into the battle are arresting, but they aren't as satisfying as the idea that they simply stop him.
That can be the only way Spider-Man's world can go back to being exactly the same. We've been told already that that film takes up mere moments after the end of Endgame. If that's true and Peter has just been brought back to life, woudln't he need a little longer to pull himself back together before heading off on a school trip with his math club friends?
And what about the time-jump? We've been told by several rumours and the hint of Cassie Lang being recast as a teenager and Gwyneth Paltrow mentioning Tony and Pepper Potts having a child and being married that Endgame will jump forward in time from Infinity War. If that's the case and the snap is undone, the victims would presumably be returned at that point in the future, not when they disappeared. And that makes no sense, since Peter is still clearly in the same school year (presumably along with some of the survivors who would have progressed into the next years).
For Peter to be going on his school trip, he has to be back to the time he "died."
And what if we've actually seen the point at which Far From Home starts? Some speculation has explained the lack of references to Infinity War as it being set before Thanos even sends the Black Order to Earth, but it would be far better if the school trip we see Peter and his schoolmates heading to Europe for in Far From Home is in fact the same one as we saw in Infinity War?
There was never an explanation for that trip, because it simply didn't need one, but having that timeline reset to that point after the Avengers travel back in time and stop Thanos' plan is delightfully satisfying. After all, if they do indeed travel back in time, there's no way they will travel to a point where Thanos already has even one Stone. They'll travel back to an earlier point to thwart him, meaning the events of Endgame could easily be done with by the point in the timeline that Infinity War initially began first time round.
That would mean nobody would ever have to experience anyone being turned to dust and surely that's the only way to explain why nobody's still talking about it in Far From Home? Right?
