Some thoughts I have on Endgame after watching it twice so spoilers below..

No matter how devastated by it I'm still happy with Nat's story conclusion because she died fighting on the good side, I'm sure she knew her death wouldn't be for nothing because she believed in her family. She wanted to prove her heart was true and was so eager to change everything that's happened. Somehow I feel like she was most excited when they found out there is a way to reverse the snap and she'd do anything she had to, even to die for it.

Post time skip Thor was actually a good depiction of how PTSD can affect people. If it was up to me to stop the person who wants to kill half of the universe's population and I failed and knew it couldn't be reversed (or lived with that thought for 5 fcking years) I'd eat and drink myself to death. Fortnite was for humor and I agree it was unnecessary but we honestly needed all the laughs amongst the tears and anxiety and sorrow. But pls don't get me wrong, PTSD is fucking serious and should never be made fun of, I know that firsthand.

Steve staying back in the past, now this one.. This is the one that divides our fandom just like Tony's death but honestly, to each their own. Somewhere under the endgame spoilers tag I mentioned that after watching the movie for the second time there is something in Bucky's expression telling me he knew.. telling me that him and Steve had an off screen conversation about what Steve's planning on doing. Whether it was Steve asking for Bucky's opinion or just straight out saying "this is what I'm gonna do and you can't change my mind" Bucky has accepted it (or at least shows he did). The only surprise I see in Bucky is when he sees old Steve sitting in front of them but even then I felt like he knew Steve would come back because he tells Sam to go there as soon as he realizes it's Steve.

Steve handing the Cap mantle to Sam is in my opinion better than to Bucky because it suits Sam more and again they might've had an off screen conversation on that topic. Now, I'm sure Buck would be the first and probably the only person Steve would talk about this and I believe he asked Buck if he wants to take over. But for now this is all my speculation/what I choose to be canon for me until the Disney+ series come out and we hopefully find out what really went on.

From what we know about time travel in the film, Steve going back doesn't change the future because his future becomes his past. You really need to watch this movie more than once, I did and I still feel like I'm missing some points. Steve returned to all the points in time to bring back the stones in their place before separating the timeline by staying with Peggy. That means that the original future stays the same and Peggy still has her family and a successful job and Agent Carter storyline still happens the same way. Steve however chooses a timeline just for himself to be with the love of his life and kicks some Hydra ass and saves Bucky and maybe he even prevents the Snap knowing everything from the original timeline. It is cheating but cheating for the greater good and Steve is, to quote Ultron, "god's righteous man". The only thing I'm bothered by is his fling with Sharon because he keeps holding on to the compass with Peggy's picture but again no one should blame him for trying to move on after the love of his life dies. That is until he finds out there is a way to time travel. But yeah, it was weird because she is her niece.

Last thing on Steve returning, remember he took 4 pym particle thingys so two were used when him and Tony went back to present from 1970 and two were left. He probably kept them for himself knowing he'd return to the original timeline to give Sam the shield but I feel like this won't be explained so yet another speculation.

I've seen people discuss how they got the space stone back inside the Tesseract and the answer couldn't be simpler: same way they get it out. They knew they will have to return them after reversing the Snap so I'm 100% sure they didn't break the Tesseract like Thanos did in IW.

Tony's death was devastating but I think he knew it might be necessary and he even prepared to snap with the stones himself and built the gauntlet inside his suit. Don't forget that he uses nano tech and could easily transfer the stones from Stark gauntlet onto his suit in the right moment which he ultimately does. Pepper was right to say he can finally rest now, he spent so long trying to make Earth a safer place and he probably wouldn't ever stop because that's who Tony Stark is. This way he finally got to rest knowing the future of his family, his friends, the world and the universe is safe from Thanos - the greatest threat (for now). I'm happy he got at least 5 years to be with his family and he did deserve sooo much more being the person who he is but no matter how heartbreaking, we know and we we're told that every story has an ending and they are not all necessarily satisfying. The man says it himself.

Loki gives me hope with his disappearing ass along with the Tesseract. If we follow the movie's time travel rules, our blue icicle has a new timeline but I'm definitely missing Ragnarok Loki. I loveeeed him since the first Thor movie and was crushed when he died in IW, I even named my cat after him fuck. But with the Disney+ series I'm sure my heart will heal, all I need is more Loki in my life.

So Gamora is missing and I really can't wait to see how gotg3 plays out especially with Thor on board. He never felt like he should be the king and I'm happy Valkyrie is taking over and btw her Pegasus is everything and her scenes at the final battle were amazing.

Ok so after writing this I want to see the movie again and I've already seen it twice in less than 12 hours, it really is an epic for me and as a long time fan I'm happy and devastated with how everything turned out at the same time.

I keep repeating Tony's words from his funeral scene to console myself. We always have phases 1-3 to rewatch and remember how things were and I can't wait for new movies and tv shows but that doesn't mean I won't occasionally read an au fanfic or two just to imagine what things would be like if...

I am heartbroken and happy at the same time. At the same time I feel like a part of me died but I am also excited for new things, for new heroes following the legacy the originals have left for them.

I also want to note that the fandom is already so divided but we all have our own opinions and there's no point arguing and trying to implement our opinions to someone else when they clearly don't want to. I love a good discussion but if there are any straight up negative comments on this I will ignore them so no need to be *that* kind of a fan.

During the premiere's *purple* carpet event everyone kept saying that Marvel fans are the best fans so let's try to keep up with that. ❤️

me, sobbing wildly, vibrating off my chair: WHERE IS DUM-E ?? hUH???? WHERE IS HE!!??

[uhmmmwhut]

Can @markruffalo please live stream the first 10 minutes of Endgame like he did with Ragnarok!!!

[y-not-loki]

I don’t think Endgame has fully hit me yet, one of these days I’m just going to break down crying because I suddenly realise that Endgame really happened, I didn’t just hallucinate that, and everything that happened in it was canon.

One of these days.

And then I’ll start writing fix up fiction.

:D

theory about steve (spoiler alert)

Theory for what happens at the end so it is a spoiler so read at your own risk

-here goes-

Hear me out, Steve going back in the end does not disturb the timeline because Steve went into ice in 1945

and then present Steve went in past in maybe 1947

Now maybe he lived with Peggy under an alias and hence

ICED STEVE STILL WAKES UP IN 2012

and so this timeline remains intact.

So basically he created an alternate timeline.

For People Crying about Steve’s arc...

This article really sums things up about how it would work.
