Later in Endgame, in the past, past-Thanos, who is yet to get all of the stones, finds out from the network link between past-Nebula and now-Nebula, that the Avengers are trying to undo what he is yet to do. So past-Thanos crashes into now-Avengers’ party, and blows up their base. That results in the epic final battle which ends in Stark clicking Thanos into dusty oblivion.
So, you’ve gone to all this effort to maintain a timeline, then done exactly what you said you wouldn’t do, by killing the bad guy before he’s done any of the stuff he’s going to do. There’s no point returning the stones to the precise points in the timeline, because you’ve just turned the guy to dust before he’s going to get them.

A cheap way to cover time paradoxes and I have never seen it done that way before and covered the fact that going back and stopping thanos before the click won't fix anything.

Andy wrote:Had the Avengers’ plan gone to, er, plan, then what they did was restore everyone who died five years later. They would then put all the stones back, and the events of the last twenty-whatever films would have played out exactly as we watched them. However, the plan went awry, and Thanos from the past (before he had any of the stones) jumped into the present. They responded by turning him and his army to dust. Now, how are the events of the last twenty-whatever films going to play out, because Thanos doesn’t exist there any more.
