* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Rhodey speaks for the characters and the audience alike just before Hawkeye's time jump test run. He rightly wonders that if the Avengers ''can'' make time travel work, why do they even have to go after the Infinity Stones at all? Wouldn't it make more sense instead to just go back and kill Thanos at a point prior to the events of ''Infinity War''? Without that sequence of events, Thanos never acquires the Stones, the Infinity Gauntlet never gets snapped, and all their problems are instantly solved. However, Banner uses temporal logistics to justify why this plan ''won't'' work (changing the past will only create alternate timelines rather than changing the main course of history, ergo killing Past Thanos won't do them any good).

** In-universe, of course, Rhodey asks this very question right before Hawkeye's time jump test run. If the Avengers ''can'' actually make time travel work, then why don't they just go back and kill Thanos at a point before the events of ''Infinity War'' (preferrably when he's still in his crib and defenesless)? However, Banner nixes the plan between a combination of morality and, more importantly, temporal logistics (their actions will only create alternate timelines rather than changing the main course of history and thus it'll do no good).

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Meta example. Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeeley=] have [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html revealed]] this was literally, if accidentally, how the death of ''Infinity War'' Thanos early in the film came about. They were initially struggling to continue the Mad Titan's storyline into ''Endgame'', but felt they'd written themselves into a corner (between a natural conclusion of his character's arc and how repetitive and futile the Avengers going up against a completed Infinity Gauntlet again would be). While venting their frustrations, Executive Producer Trin Trahn said, "God, I really wish we could just kill [Thanos]." After taking a moment to process it, Markus and [=McFeely=] [[EurekaMoment realized]] Tranh was on to something and the rest is history.

* TheVillainKnowsMoment: The Avengers perform a TimeTravel across different eras to retrieve the Infinity Stones (Thanos had destroyed them in the present) in order to bring back all the people who vanished at the end of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. However, when Nebula and Rhodey travel to 2014 to retrieve the Power Stone, the former character experiences an overlap with the memories of the 2014 version of herself, who happens to be with Thanos at that time. Thanos scans the memories with the Nebula who's with him and discovers what the Avengers plan to do in the future. When the present-era Nebula exits the overlap, she realizes to her horror that Thanos discovered the plan and tries to go back to the present, but she's abducted into the ''Sanctuary II''.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: With the Avengers living in a nightmarish future where half the population is gone, their plan is to travel back in time and find the Infinity Stones from 2012, 2013 and 2014 and return to 2023 to perform a reverse snap and bring everyone back.
