I recommend people to read Captain America: Man Out of Time, it covers the first Avengers story with Cap after he wakes up from the ice. He misses his life in the 40′s, he wants to go back, etc… At one point they fight Kang the Conqueror and Steve gets sent back to V-Day after the Allies won in Europe. At first he’s happy but the reality of him romanticizing his own era due to nostalgia starts hitting him. He was already in a more advanced and, while not perfect, a more accepting time and him having to come back to a time where racism and sexism were worse, where medicine and technology weren’t as advanced, and everyone telling him “Yeah we won! The war is over! Time to rest!” it really leaves him fed up and unsatisfied. He also starts feeling like an outsider in his own time and i the end he decides to do something to go back to the future.

The last pages of that story have Steve writing in his journal about how living in the past is tempting but that it’s where fossils come from and that “there’ll always be something to fight for” so he decides to look ahead instead of back.

That whole story was basically the antithesis of Steve’s ending in Endgame.

THANOS THANOS YES PAPA

This was one of the futures Dr. Strange saw

This is the only future where they win. Accept it

Me, when people say Scott Lang is an idiot: EXCUSE you he has a masters in electrical engineering and is described by Marvel as having a ‘genius level intellect’ and just because he likes to goof around and make people laugh doesn’t make him any less smart thank you very much.

You know what, we need more “genius who goofs around and makes people laugh” and less “genius who’s a total douchebag because it’s edgy”.

for a movie with bad science, endgame sure uses the scientific method a lot?

@cesperanza has some ABSOLUTELY STELLAR endgame takes that if you haven’t seen you should check out, and so do @padmedala and @emisobsessed but this is something I noticed that I haven’t seen anyone else talking about and I think we should. I wanna thank @gracelesso and also @steebadore and all the other good eggs who helped me work through this. 

So this is to do with the time travel but also NOT AT ALL to do with the time travel so bear with:

My Favorite Thing About Endgame was the way that they used the scientific method as a storytelling device; BUT I think that it had some unanticipated fallout because it wasn’t what people were prepared for…

let me explain…

little changes that may have made steve rogers more in character during endgame

- change the line “i went in the ice in ‘45, right after i met the love of my life. woke up 70 years later. you got to move on’ to ‘i woke up 70 years after meeting the woman i thought i’d marry. i lost my team. i lost my righthand man. i watched my best friend die for the second time. there comes to be a point when you’re not sure how much more you can lose, but somehow you have to find a way to keep going. if you can’t do it for yourself, do it for them.” 

-rather than have him moping around nyc in suburban dad button downs, have him actively searching for an Answer. this is steve rogers we’re talking about, the man who never gives up, who never stops, who would die trying, who never takes the easy way out. i understand endgame was trying to say the Snap was his breaking point, and that he was Tired and beginning to lose faith in his system of values/morals, and maybe a lesser man would have, but not steve rogers. if anything, i think the snap would have pushed him to instability– not eating enough, not sleeping, pushing his body to extremes, always looking and searching for something that might not be there 

-have him be the one to let scott out of the van. after five years of dead ends and false leads, he finally makes his way to a storage unit in san fran, to an old van. but its just an old van, and his heart breaks a little bit more. he sits in the seat, exhausted and drained from another failure, and absent mindedly presses buttons. something lights off, and suddenly, a CRASH. 

-rather than looking at the compass w a picture of peggy, have him watch an old video on his phone of him, nat, sam, bucky and wanda on a quiet day– his family. 

-at the end of the battle w thanos, he sees bucky and his face crumples, and falls sobbing into his best friend’s arms, the man he’s watched die twice, and we hear a quiet, “its ok, stevie”

-this doesn’t really have to do w anything but i would have loved a team cap reunion scene, and a scene where they mourn natasha together 

girls～

I hope Avengers sometimes go to Strange like “I need your help” and he’s like “What’s wrong? Skrulls? Hydra?” and they’re like “I’m congested and it hurts when I swallow.”

You think they ever approach Vision in a similar manner to complain about how the wi-fi router keeps kicking them off the network?

Well, NOW I do.

Peter Parker calls Steve Rogers at midnight and he shows up at Aunt May’s in full uniform, shield at the ready. “You said something about Nazis? Let’s go.”

And Peter’s standing in the doorway in pajamas and like, pikachu slippers, and he’s like, “The AP history test is tomorrow. I need you to tell me everything you know.”

Alternately, I’m now picturing Wanda going to basically anyone else and trying to talk about some issues she and Vis are having, and universally, they all just go “Have you tried turning him off and turning him back on again?”

There are so many good comments on this post but this one deserves a special shout-out.

Peter: So what do you remember about the JFK assassination?

Bucky: I think I killed him

Peter: alrighty then

Finished animation :)

steve upon seeing past steve: dammit now i have to kick my own ass ugh

tony upon seeing past tony: give that bitch a heart attack. kill him

the best thing that will come out of endgame is that in guardians 3, Rocket will be absolutely unbearable. what’s that Quill?? you’re the captain?? did YOU save the entire fucking universe with help from a hot god? oh, you didn’t? funny. oh, what’s that? I’m a trash panda?? I’m an asshole?? where exactly were YOU when I was saving the entire universe?? oh right. fucking it up and then wasting time in another dimension. oh, you guys are still calling yourselves the guardians of the galaxy?? that’s so cute. I saved the entire fucking universe, you jackass.

Dude, you’re embarrassing me in front of the wizards.

Ant-man bathing in hot sauce for bonus damage (2019)

I hate that you don´t have to give extra content because everyone on the internet already knows what´s going on and why hot sauce would be considered “bonus damage”

Carol, turning up at the avengers compound in endgame: uh, hi. I’m fury’s emergency contact.

Steve: great, so you’re here to help us save the world?

Carol: no, I’m here to remove myself as fury’s emergency contact.

Steve: …

Nat: …

Bruce: …

Carol, cracking up: nah, I’m just fuckin with you. now whose ass am I kicking today?

This is so in character…

“Phase 2 is SHIELD uses the Cube to make weapons.”

#mcu#avengers#steve rogers#bucky barnes#no but really though#the gun he puts down on the table#is the exact one that killed bucky#less than two weeks ago#as far as he’s concerned#he watched the person he loves most in the world plummet to his death#shot by one of these things#an now the ‘good guys’#the people he’s being told are here to prevent what bucky (and so many others) died for#are the ones with their hand quite literally on the gun#seventy years#his entire life lost#and the only thing that’s really changed is who’s behind the trigger#(and oh steve you have no idea)#(no idea how much worse it will get from here)
