Why don’t more people talk about how in the end of Avengers age of Ultron, Steve says that the person who wanted a family went in the ice, and something different came out, and that he was home, especially when people talk so much about his vision, even though most people seem to misunderstand what it even means

Notice they tried to retcon in the idea that Steve, no longer wanting that, means that he did once want that.

Well all I can say is: bitch where?

Point me to the line or scene where Steve even implies he wants a family and stability?

And by 'family' of course, they only mean one kind of family. Having Bucky back, somehow, wouldn't count -- even though Evans explicitly said Bucky is Steve's family.

And what, exactly, is it about a straight-married breeder farm in the middle of nowhere that = stability, that cityboy Steve couldn't also get in his actual-home, New York?

Implying that Barton's Breeder Farm is somehow more stable and family-orientated than, uhhh, the lives of everyone living in a city apparently?

(Sorry- just- as someone who knows actual farmers that is so fucking funny to me. That life is so unpredictable.)

Not only that, but Steve was talking about getting a place in Brooklyn (which they just... never followed up on), despite the prices, and Sam 'home is home' and Steve didn't contradict him.

And this was during a conversation about them looking for Bucky, too, so read that subtext: Steve finds out Bucky's alive and suddenly wants to get a place in Brooklyn?

Clearly, Bucky = Family/Home, Bucky is what makes Steve want to settle down.

(He happily ditched DC where amnesia-Peggy was, and didn't gaf about going back to Brooklyn until he found out amnesia-Bucky was alive. Stucky was always in the subtext, as they say!)

But by the end of AOU they have to hurriedly contradict all that by implying that only Barton's Breeder Farm defines family.

You know why!

So that's Steve saying New York is his home twice in the same damn movie... which they claimed to be following-up on in Endlame.... and yet they ignored both times. In fact, they diametrically contradicted both (along with everything else Steve had ever done or said or stood for).

It's so bizarre. It's like every straight male involved in MCU production had a stroke and woke up this antiqueer Mandela Effect where they remember Steve saying or doing the exact opposite of whatever he actually said and did.

Putting Steve on the fuckass farm in the middle-of-nowheresville, ignoring horrible things happening to his real loved ones while living with the personal responsible for all those things.

I'm sorry, was this supposed to a Captain America movie because all it's giving is What If Clark Kent Was On Red Kryptonite...?

To all my Marvel found family friends, to all my Aunt May supporters, to the Irondad gang and Tony-is-more-than-a-mentor-to-Peter crowd -- to everyone who found love in characters and relationships that we never saw come to fruition,

You're the best. You're amazing. You deserve better than canon. Don't ever let canon get you down. The characters live on long past whatever shitty script they were thrown into. YOU give them life, not canon.

Don't ever let canon get you down. Just because something shitty happens in canon doesn't mean fanon isn't there with hugs, cookies, and fanfiction. For where characters no longer exist in canon, let them thrive in your head and in your works

Avengers: Endgame: A lack of closure at the end of the line

Although Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers have been fixtures of each other’s character arcs, their relationship went ignored in Avengers: Endga

Good critique of e**game. Have you read this one?

[k347]

Tried something, because I think of them everytime I hear this song...

Evanstan/Modern Stucky edit💙

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth....But if I do, it's you, oh, it's you, they add up to and I'm in love with you and all these little things♥️

He’s gonna get his ass fired.

anyway tonight on endgame-is-wrong, steve never lowered his hands and we were shown that countless times that he never dropped them for anyone, even when fighting himself, but ‘i can do this all day’ Rogers dropped his hands and said “i won’t do this today” for bucky

[chiefnooniensingh]

the more I see and think about Endgame, the less I liked the movie

there's just so much going on and got was only slightly interesting

[amarriageoftrueminds]

Im watching CA:TFA and i have yet another critic for the whole ‘peggy is so important in steves stiry even though if you replace her with a lamp, there’d be no difference’

The part where steve is getting the serum and they show peggy in the booth with the senator, the colonel and that hydra spy, why the fuck do they keep focusing on peggys reaction, when a literal hydra spy is right there? Like how is her reaction to the serum so important but the guy who was sent by the leader of hydra’s was not?

Oml i have so many complaints about this movie 😭

YES, you can really see how comphet is the main priority! Also how they've forgotten to make Peggy competent by having her, eg. notice both the spy, or the spies hanging around outside that should've clued her in too. Too busy thirsting over power to notice. Typical! 🙄

(And how egregious that What If...? treated the moment prior, when Erskine told the non-scientist, non-medical, non-engineering person to get out the way, as if this was somehow misogynist and exclusionary of him... Conveniently forgetting all the unnamed female nurses he allowed to stay 'in the room,' because they're actually of some use, and supposed to be there, doing their jobs! I guess centring female characters is only important enough to do if they're dating a man?)

I think I've mentioned elsewhere my headcanon that CATFA is the events of Steve's life as told from Peggy's POV; that it's like a propagandised 1950s version of events, to whitewash all the interesting stuff (all Steve's politics, the uncomfy relationship with his male bestie, all his missions with the Howlies, all his time in the USO with unsuitable-because-non-Peggy women) ...to really drive home that the only message you should be thinking about is that Captain America is definitely straight and taken, okay??

If you've ever seen the show Frasier, you might remember an episode where Diane, a deeply obnoxious ex of Frasier's, shows up with a play she's written about their past life. She shows him the play and it's a horrific Mary Sue-lead warping of events, made to frame her as this beloved figure whom everyone adored (in actual fact they couldn't stand her).

That play... that's CATFA all over. It's the Play What Peggy Wrote. Her memoir would probably be titled something like 'The Woman Who Made Captain America.'

Even Steve's Smithsonian exhibition she manages to make about herself -- while married to someone else! -- though it's supposed to be about Steve and the Howling Commandos, of which she was not one. They don't even show Howard Stark, and you'd think a showman like him would be all over that free PR! 😬
