So they end up sacrificing themselves and the Earth to keep the past alive (minus a few popular heroes, who make the transition to keep the past continuity relevant)? So we end up, lets say, with the 80s version of Marvel and it's characters? So everything from the 60s-80s is still canon, but they start over from there? (Not a real reboot?) That way they can keep the original origins, but make up for the convoluted 90s-to-Now Marvel? Back to College Peter Parker, pre-Marriage, etc? Other popular characters can avoid the "partial reboot" (or "reb-" as Marvel called it) like Winter Soldier, GotG, Cap Marvel, Venom, new Nova, New Thor, Miles Morales etc because, they are out in Space or in the Ultimate U, so they avoid the "time wipe". This would put continuity timeline closer to the movies. Is this a possibility?
