loose threads:
How did Cap return the space and mind stones? They were inside the Tesseract and the blue gem in loki's scepter, which had to be destroyed in order to extract the gems. Did Steve just sneak into 1970s SHIELD and put the space stone back in it's place with a post it note explaining what it was?
How did he return the soul stone? is that even possible? Was Red Skull still there? Did they hash out their issues. Or when they took the soul stone, was he freed from his curse and free to leave?
Loki getting away seems to really fubar the timeline?
The tesseract was in Asgard during the Dark World, it would've made more sense for Thor and Rocket to get it there, than to have Tony's team go after three stones. The scepter was in Stark tower during Age of Ultron, it would have been much easier to get the mind and time stones then.
How does Nebula still exist after killing her younger self? You could say that the are different after splitting the timeline, but there are other moments in the movie where they speak about preserving the timeline, and Cap returning the stones attests to that. Also, they kill 2014 Thanos from basically the very start of GOTG. So that may alter that timeline slightly, as now Ronan has no one to answer to. Also, with 2014 Thanos dead, he is not there to take the stones in 2018, which means it has to be a new timeline.
I really enjoyed watching the movie, but i really don't think it'll hold up as well over time. Infinity War was a much stronger film IMO.
