Could Have Saved Wakanda From Killmonger

Should Have Helped The Avengers In Mainstream MCU
Since the Watcher can look at all possible realities, he could also look into the original MCU. He knew all the events that had, are, and will happen. So he could have prevented a lot of deaths and pointless sacrifices if only he had broken his solemn oath of non-interference sooner. In an instant, one small act of interference would have spared an infinite amount of suffering that came after the Snap and the Blip. He did not use his position and powers well.
