How are the events from Infinity War possible if this character is dead?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
So, in the climax of Avengers: Endgame,
the Thanos from 2014 travels forward in time to 2023 and dies in the climactic battle.
This should, logically, prevent the events of Avengers: Infinity War from ever taking place, since he ceased to be present in the time line 4 years prior to this.
However, the movie seems to imply that the events of Infinity War still happened, creating a time travel paradox - a variant of the Grandfather Paradox.
Is there any official statement as to what occurred, or is this just a plot hole in the movie?

I don’t know how to use this site’s spoiler tags, so if anyone with post- editing privileges wants to do so, feel free to do so.

I tried to remove part of the spoilers from the title but I'm not overly happy with the result... If someone's more inspired, feel free to put a new one. And by the way, nick, you can hide spoilers by preceding them with>!, for instance>! he was a ghost all this time
