things the russos expect us to believe steve rogers, of all men, ignored/didn’t try to change:
bucky being turned into the winter soldier
howard becoming an abusive and neglectful father
natasha being turned into a black widow
people like jfk and mlkjr being murdered
nothing??? for helping any of the civil rights acts???
remember jim crow laws and segregation u dunderheads
bruce and hulk getting hurt as a direct relation to trying to replicate the supersoldier serum that is in steve’s body
who could always like,,, donate blood if he trusted the govt an Iota
but he didn’t. and peggy didn’t. and that whole kibitzing the thing was A VERY IMPORTANT CHOICE TO MAKE so the govt needs to get fucked anyway
hydra invading shield/any other position of power
helping literally anyone that was forced into the black widow, wolf spider, or winter soldier programs
leaving his own fucking self in the ice???? for some reason?????????
also leaving tony alone after the fact???
not warning anyone about thanos
not helping build any kind of defense against thanos or similar threats when he would’ve had literal decades to do it
peggy had already moved on from steve, even after acknowledging she would still love him the rest of her life
not doing anything against the korean war. or the vietnam war. or the-
not talking to carol in any sense whatsoever when she could have helped with most if not all the space threats
knowing previously that peggy would get married and have a long and fulfilling life with the family she chose to become part of
a husband who canonically doesn’t even get a name or a photo that we see, but that still doesn’t ultimately matter because he KNOWS SHE WAS HAPPY
bucky being tortured for decades and having his life taken from him to use to take the lives of others
the same man that is the focal point of steve’s motivation in all their other stories
the same man that steve picked up the shield for, and then dropped the shield for
steve is against bullies, whoever they are
did he honestly even touch shield??? at all?????
hey what about wakanda and people trying to/succeeding in stealing their vibranium, their tech, their weapons
honestly all those people who got hurt or killed in experiments in shield, with SI, or regarding hank pym’s work, like ava starr and her parents
and this isn’t even counting much on a global scale of events THIS IS JUST BASIC MCU HISTORY
russos did you even think about what exactly you erased? did you consider, for a second, what you were doing to the established character of steve? how badly you twisted him out of shape? stomped on his morals, broke his past choices like they were nothing, warped everything that had been built before that moment?
steve found a family. he found a home. he fought for that home and that family. and you decided that none of that was important enough to stay for when the opportunity arose to see peggy and try a life with her. as if he wasn’t a changed man from the last time she saw him, as if being tired and hurting and frustrated would actually be enough to get him to stop trying to do the right thing and to be a good man.
And that is not my Steve Rogers. that is not our Steve. The blatant disrespect shown with this decision is an affront to him, to the fandom who invested in him and his story, all the people he befriended over the years, and all the people who believed in the story somehow ending in a satisfactory way.
