Just finished binging non sequential and it’s sooo good. I’m so torn with who she should be with. I’m rooting for them both lol but kinda leaning towards Bucky at this point. Also... still a bit confused on the time travel lol just from when she came from 2012 to 2015, but her present was also 2015? Her pst self can travel too? Or shouldn’t it always be her present self that’s traveling? Does that make any sense? 😂
I just can’t bring myself to explain the time travel more simply...
Her timeline and the times she visits Steve in the past aren’t linear.
She could be 28 years old, visiting Steve in 1933. And then could be the 22 years old, visiting Steve in 1937.
Y/N didn’t start traveling until she was 18. The first place she ever travels to is the Arctic, right where Steve was frozen below ice.
Once the year is past when Y/N is born, there can also be two version of Y/N in the present at one time: a present Y/N and a version of Y/N visiting from either the past or future.
“First, there is only one universe. No matter where or "when" you go, science won't let you split off into alternate, parallel realities. The movie (or at least the book) sticks to this single timeline idea.
Third, "you can't kill your own grandfather." Everything that happened already happened. You can not create paradoxes. Whatever you can do in the past, you have already done – because it's the past.”
