Now that we’re all talking about Endgame...
I can side-eye Steve’s ending. Look, we all know that Steve Rogers deserves to Rest, and most of us were hoping to see him somehow survive that movie. However, there is not enough suspension of disbelief on this earth for me to believe that Steve “I will punch injustice directly in the face” Rogers is going to spend seventy years playing house and meekly trying not to put a hair on history’s head out of place while atrocities (that he knows about!) happen.Â
Like I’m really supposed to pretend Steve’s gonna chill and raise 2.5 kids while the US government does McCarthyism and Jim Crow? The dude that has been punching up since he was 5′6 of health problems and rage is just…gonna spend a bunch of time trying to teach some toddler to say “grandpa” while the US military dumps Agent Orange on civilians? Like, he’s canonically a military history nerd who has polished up on every shitty thing that happened while he was taking his ice bath, and he’s just…gonna watch it all, quietly, while being like, “Hey Peggy! Sorry I zapped your original family out of existence! This one’s good, too, right?!” Â
To say nothing of Bucky Barnes, the person he broke every rule for, over and over again. Steve “I’ll walk to Austria!!!!” Rogers is going to knowingly chill while Bucky is brainwashed and tortured for seventy years?Â
Yeah, no. Back to pretending this movie doesn’t exist!Â
The end of Endgame really really was OOC Steve. It’s just awful.
