i rmr when all the initial meta around endgame was coming out people were talking about steve being depressed and whatnot and it's like well yeah but he's BEEN depressed, like he woke up alone in this century and he kept going, now i can understand it being worse this time after finding a family and getting bucky back and losing them all except of course that's not why endgame steve was on about so like......the people writing meta were trying to connect these things that of course weren't really there on screen because that simply wasn't our steve
but i think it really could've been SO interesting to see this is the thing that finally makes steve stay down like he's lost so much and he just CAN'T keep fighting like i get some people think that's what they were going for but considering the ending......it's really not. and so i'm just thinking about a version after iw, maybe he gets some of the thor treatment except not turning his depression into a dumb fatphobic joke lol and maybe nat and others are trying to get through to him and it just doesn't work and then we get some flashbacks (which you could have done for all the original avengers actually which would be particularly important for bruce and nat and clint who did not have their own trilogies) including his mom telling him "you always stand up" and THAT being the thing to finally get him moving like it would've been such a perfect way to finally show sarah rogers some respect and ACTUALLY show steve really struggling instead of whatever they tried to do with him in that movie

In most ways I don't have the clubber's temperament but I do in one respect at least: if I have enough to drink and there's music playing I really enjoy dancing

suddenly hit with the fact all that's left of grandma is a grocery bag filled with her remaining soaps and lotions and the two picture frames filled with family photos...
...my mother told the care facility to get rid of everything else, even the little knitted cat and knitted flower bouquet I gifted my grandma ages ago. that's fine. she didn't remember those were gifts I gave grandma. it's been so long already. it's fine.
