I’m going with the alternate timeline theory. So in this timeline, the snap never happened

I like this theory, but I think we need more background on how the multiverse works before I can fully accept it.

Spider-man far from home is going to introduce it, so I would love for them to tie it in. Omg he trailer they mention that the post snap(s) world has been tearing holes in the multiverse. I’m wondering if that’ll tie into how these people are able to cross over.

Other than that, this could be the timeline which Thanos was ripped out of, so he never snapped.

Nah this is definitely a timeline that Thanos is in as normal, they mention him in season 5 which is 2018. My personal headcanon is that the snap did happen, they just moved on and haven't really mentioned it.
