#also it always irritates me when steve antis hop on the Anti Endgame Steve train

[marvelousescapism]

ik its not a big deal but its so infuriating to me when ppl completely miss the point abt what made EG steve so bad which is that he literally does not act like steve and steve wouldnt have ever done all that in the first place. like stop doing all the 'steve needs to get whats coming for him for what he did' bs! the whole point is that realistically he wouldnt have even fucking considered doing any of it and any 'fix-it' that insinuates he wouldve is completely missing the point!

like its just my opinion but if you acknowledge anything abt EG steve as being a genuine part of steve rogers' whole arc over the years then youre not much better at understanding it than the shitty writers lmao. even if it was supposed to be character degradation its garbage character degradation bc it comes out of nowhere and serves no purpose therefore i genuinely just think nothing abt EG steve should be acknowledged just bc theres no way to make it make sense other than the imposter theory

so true nonny, it's not just about Steve leaving Bucky and everything that entails - Steve stopped being Steve in endgame the moment he shaved that glorious beard, and all hope was lost when he pulled out that ridiculous compass for no goddamn reason.

should've been a picture of Sam and Nat and Bucky goofing around in Wakanda in that compass. losing Sam and Bucky should have been his motivator. he should have been talking about Sam and Bucky in that therapy group with Gay Joe Russo. but I guess we can't have The Captain America imply that he cares about his ride-or-die male best friends more than a past potential female love interest! Disney is a nuclear family show!!! no found families allowed!!!

like, Steve was completely tamed and neutralized in Endgame. Steve goes to Tony once and asks "please can we make it so the snap never happened in the first place rather than bringing everyone back today please" and when Tony shoots that idea down Steve leaves with his tail behind his legs. like??? what happened to Plant Yourself Like A Tree, Steve???

don't even get me started about the bullshit elevator scene and "I can do this all day" / "yeah I know, I know". they honestly took an iconic scene showing just how badass Steve is and an iconic line that tells us so much about Steve's character and... laughed at them. laughed at him. laughed at people who love his character. I hate it here.

anyway, yeah, I often avoid post-Endgame fix-its nowadays (unless it's from a fic writer I know and like) because I'd rather just... pretend it doesn't exist at all. Endgame isn't canon, guys ✌
