(There are main spoilers forward for “Avengers: Endgame.” These are among the massive ones.)
Chris Evans has been speaking for some time now about how he was gonna dangle up Captain America’s protect after “Avengers: Endgame,” so though we knew little or no about this film we at the very least knew that “Endgame” can be the top of the road for Steve Rogers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Of course, we didn’t actually know what that meant — we knew that knew that “Endgame” can be the final trip for Steve Rogers as Captain America, however we didn’t know if it meant he would die or if one thing else would occur. It seems they went with one thing else, and that one thing else doesn’t make narrative or thematic sense.

(Hey, so, the spoilers are about to circulate freely right here. So if you happen to’re an individual who doesn’t wish to learn about these things however have made it this far anyway, you must most likely go away.)
(Why are you continue to studying this?)
So what they ended up going with for Steve’s exit really mirrors just about precisely a fan concept that’s been circulating for some time: that Steve would journey again to 1945 and stay out his life in peace with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) earlier than displaying up once more within the current as an outdated man. That is, seemingly, precisely what he did. But this isn’t a satisfying ending for Cap — it’s simply bizarre and completely out of character. And it doesn’t work with the time journey guidelines set by the film. Let’s break it down.
Let’s begin with a very powerful problem: It’s fairly out of character for Captain America to simply bail on his job, and it’s particularly out of character for him to bail on his job like this. Going to the previous to retire with Peggy would imply that he has to sit down by whereas all types of unhealthy issues occur that he is aware of will occur. He will get a entrance row seat to Hydra taking up SHIELD and fomenting all types of evil. He lives the great life whereas Bucky (Sebastian Stan) is getting used and abused because the Winter Soldier for 70 years.

With nice energy comes nice accountability, and Cap selected to spend the overwhelming majority of his life merely not taking accountability? Also, keep in mind that complete “I’m with you to the end of the line” factor between him and Bucky? Guess that wasn’t actual. Cap, at about 39 years outdated if you happen to subtract his time within the ice, simply gave up and chilled out till he was too outdated to assist out anymore. This is simply not one thing that the Steve Rogers that we’ve gotten to know over the previous eight years would do. And it’s insulting to the character not simply to place him out to pasture like this, however to have it’s his selection.
And on high of all that, this scene doesn’t make sense due to the way in which he confirmed up once more on the finish. According to the foundations of time journey arrange by “Avengers: Endgame” itself, Cap going again to the previous and getting with Peggy would create a divergent timeline and he would now not be part of the universe of the films. Which would imply that in an effort to return to the current day timeline of “Endgame” he must use his time journey system.
If Cap confirmed up on the time journey platform as an outdated man, this scene might be taking part in by the film’s personal guidelines. But since he was simply hanging out on a bench once they observed him, it appears to be implying that he merely lived out his life and confirmed up on the proper second. He’s definitely not sporting the time journey system in that scene.

And since Cap might be too old school to interact in polyamory, his marrying Peggy would most likely imply that she by no means married the person that she married in the principle timeline, and the children she had with that man by no means existed. So Steve…
