if i had a nickle for everytime a badass woman kissed their enemy, which has been trying to kill them this whole time, and with who they have severe sexual tension with, and due to that kiss the enemy DOES IN FACT DIE OR NEARLY DIE, and both kisses were in marvel tv series', i'd have two nickels- which isnt a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I am going to Brooklyn for the first time in my life and my neurodivergent, hyper-fixated ass is like, "Is this a Steve Rogers reference or an 'Agent Carter' reference?"

THE QUEEN IS COMING BACK?!

FUCK YEAH!!

To everyone claiming Peggy/Hayley is wrong for coming back to MCU, let me ask you this: where was that energy for Chris or RDJ?

Exactly.

I hope Peggy gets bigger and better scenes and merch then your faves.

you KNOW she and Peggy Carter fucked nasty

[miss-carter]

Steve Rogers + canonically longing for Peggy Carter through constant and consistent characterization during the time he was without her.

This is going to sound a little twisted but if you watch what they’re doing with his character, starting very importantly in Age of Ultron, intensifying in Civil War, and rounding out in Endgame, then you’ll see:

Steve Rogers has always been the guy to Make a Big Hero Sacrifice. Be the symbol. Be more than a man—even though, tragically, the world around him doesn’t understand that what makes him different is just that he’s a man. A good man. But so that’s his thing: Be the Big Hero Sacrifice, More Than a Man.

He doesn’t know how to be normal, with a home, and a family. That’s been his one “flaw” (if you can call it that; I said it sounds a little twisted) since the beginning. He’s never been the settle-down-normal good-man, but he’s always been very well-suited to be the settle-down, normal, good-man. Why? Because first he was small and sick and orphaned and needed to prove himself. Then the world was at war and he needed to help people. Then he was the one with the most power I.e. the most responsibility. Then he was a symbol of virtues-the-world-forgot, out of the past. Then he was the leader of the world’s first superhero team. Then he was one of the last surviving members of that team.

He got the chance to be all that, but he never got the chance to be “Steve Rogers, a Good Man” with people who know him.

For the most part, Steve is a static character. He doesn’t have much to grow in, or much to learn. And that’s good. But the one area he could learn in was, “I don’t know who I am without a fight, because I’m always living for The Cause.” That’s where he needed to grow. Going back in time to the one remaining human being who knows who The Kid From Brooklyn is, and who would benefit from him coming back, was the only way, in this context, he could grow in that.

I could give you examples to show that that’s always where his character needed to go, both for himself and for the characters he influenced, but I made a really long post about it here a long time ago. If you have time! (It also factors in Bucky and Sam.)

Suffice to say:

Tony needed to learn to make the ultimate sacrifice—essentially, because by laying down his life, he’s also trusting that the world can stay safe without him, which is a big ego move for Tony.

Steve needed to learn to stop making the “ultimate” sacrifice, because that’s all he’s ever known how to do—and just make the everyday, ordinary, home sacrifices. And in-character, he was never going to be able to do that with anyone except Peggy—especially because he saw that she had one regret, and it was losing time with him.

(That was supposed to be my closing statement but I need you to understand—she didn’t just love her life and alternate family, and regret Steve for Steve’s sake. That’s what she says—“my only regret is that you didn’t get to live yours (life.)” But two minutes later when her dementia kicks in, you see what she really feels—she’s not smiling and happy when she sees Steve alive. She’s grief-stricken because of how long it’s been. She does regret, once she learns that he was alive, that she didn’t get to spend life with him. And he’s there to witness that unguarded moment of grief—probably multiple times, is the inference. So of course selfless-Steve would kill two birds with one stone—“I’ll learn to make small home-sacrifices, and I’ll fix the one thing Peggy regrets, all at once.”)

There was nowhere else for Cap’s character to go than “settle down living a life of self-sacrificial, simple-good-man love with someone who knows him (home), and leave the Big Hero Fight.”

(Oh, I will say, I don’t think there should’ve been a scene where Old Steve reappears in the current timeline and talks to Sam. Because the whole in-characterness of the decision hinges on ambiguity. The audience should have been shown that he went back to be with Peggy, but that’s it. Not where it went on, from there. Because, the audience needs to be left alone to believe that Steve might have married Peggy and righted some other timeline wrongs, like saving Bucky from Hydra early, etc. and the timeline was alternate. Otherwise, it leaves too much room to assume that he lived his life normally while knowing that Bucky’s being tortured the whole time and doing nothing, and that is very clumsy and out-of-character.)

Send me your biggest unpopular opinions. Can be about any fandom (I might not know what you're talking about but whatever) or anything in life. Anon or not, I wanna know
