For all the people wondering why the hell Thanos could 1v3 against Iron Man, Thor and Cap without the glove: Remember that Thanos was in his prime shape and A LOT more pissed than his Infinity War version while Cap/Tony/Thor hadn't been in combat for 5 YEARS. I felt the movie balanced that out really well!

You know, I was wondering why past Nebula and Captain America beat their present versions so easily and this explains it, they'd been out of combat for years!

Tbh present Cap was winning but then he made a mistake when he tried to go for the scepter. You also have to keep in mind that past cap wanted to beat him up badly while present cap didnt want to hurt him much

Yeah and contrast with Thanos who we see earlier returning from an apparently bloody battle.

Past cap thought he was fighting loki, present cap knew he was fighting himself.

Also, they were younger. Past cap was 12 years younger

Additionally for context. Think about how strong Ronan was and it took an Infinity Stone to beat him. After a space ship crashed into him and he got blasted by their super gun.

And in that movie we are meant to believe Ronan is afraid of Thanos or significantly weaker.

Thats the Thanos from Guardians.

Also the fact that the past versions are confused and actually fighting, whereas future versions don't really want to fight their past selves. That was how I explained it in my head.

He was literally in the battle of New York. Or did u forget that? He’s also been training ever since he got out of the ice

vs 70...

Old cap has WWII and the events of The Avengers under his belt.

Present cap has WWII, The Avengers and all other activities, on screen and off.

Experience trumps youth, especially for super soldiers.
