#wtf shipping

I’d like to talk about this article.

https://mashable.com/article/avengers-endgame-romance

God, I’ve become a rant blog about Steve and Endgame. Oh well, least I know it. 

But NO... a very important thing that gets glossed over when you try to justify Steve’s ending and characterization in Endgame, and how the MCU is selling Steggy, is that this idea

Endgame does a good job of reminding the audience that losing a chance at happiness with Peggy is Steve’s greatest regret in his life

of the romance or lack of with Steve and Peggy Carter are the greatest parts of their character and its’ conclusive take that

And an opportunity perhaps, to be satisfied with their lives.

AKA the deus ex writing to reunite them or give them this ending chance of getting together sums their lives’ satisfaction.

This is or should be absolutely anathema to anyone who looks at them as characters first. At two characters, not a ship, who were expressly not about romance equaling their character definition. It is not good writing or a good conclusion to either to then force the narrative that this was the important point to their stories.

To Steve, the character who faced ablism, loss of parents, loss of friends, war, loss of time and country and identity, who was the moral conviction and heart of surviving and overcoming and inspiring...you really think his summation of greatest regret or thing to overcome is he lost a chance of romance? That his story is defined and measured in the success of getting it with Peggy?

To Peggy, the woman who is defined as a loved character, special female character or romantic lead, no less than by Steve himself per canon as a woman above and beloved for her desire and striving to make meaningful choices and actions in her life outside the boundary of a man’s desired partner, in that she is seeking equal representation, value, and recognition of... you think her summation is she’d be satisfied to be driven solely by her romantic outcome lived potential? That a summary of her life’s contribution is boiled down to only satisfactory if she reunited or got a second chance with Steve?

Is this a parody article?!

Or I don’t get shippers. 

Because ships should have character foundations to support them, unless they crack or AU. And the problem I have with Steggy per Endgame’s example is it’s built on a shaky foundation. 

The premise that them being together justifies the character dissolving, the time and the logic and moral implications... Ship gotta answer to that. Story gotta answer to it.

And it’s not a bias. I’m equal here in that I would make the same arguments if for wild example Endgame had a conclusion where Steve murdered Thanos or went back to be with a 40s Bucky or there was an example of the ship and character being concluded that the narrative told me was supposed to make sense or be defining and supportive of, that was just as the opposite of what seemed to matter before.

That’s honestly what Steggy Endgame is to me. So, this article and shipper perspective like it, the people who say the narrative built to this...I’m baffled. Because beyond Endgame retcon saying it, NO, the narrative for Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter was not a 22 film summation about if they would end up together.  

Like maybe if you squint CATFA was selling let’s explore if maybe they could have. In just that movie. As a side plot. The rest was like a story of too bad, it sad, so anyways here’s how we did and who we were and are.

Miguel is the plan guy in this triad (however useless it is with a chaos incarnate in it) and he'll make sure of it one bad fashion statement at a time.

Do you think the parkour villain is there in whatever afterlife thinking about how Evbo was willing to sacrifice the world for his best friend? Does he think about what life could have been like if the Old Man did the same for him? Are the Old Man and the Parkour Villain even together in the same afterlife and if so is Parkour Villain screaming and crying while gesturing at EMF going "WHY COULDN'T YOU DO THIS FOR ME? WHY DIDN'T YOU CARE ABOUT ME AS MUCH AS THEY CARE FOR EACH OTHER?"
