which i guess is extremely period-appropriate for a movie set in the 90s

*side eyes Winter Solider* I mean, when has “the narrative framework is literally that their best friend is their new love interest” actually stopped Disney

TWS literally started with Cap’s canonical love interest forgetting him and ended with Bucky fighting to remember him as human bookends to the “the past is gone but the future worth fighting for” theme, yet the same writers still had him go back to the past

yeah, exactly. his arc with peggy is melancholy and bittersweet and *resolved.* then the russos (or maybe the mouse, who knows) decided to reopen it out of nowhere because "cap can't be gay!" i guess

Fwiw the writers of TWS and Endgame (Markus and McFeely) are the ones who say their intention was always that Peggy's unseen husband was Steve time traveling from the future, though they may be lying about this

I’ve heard the same thing (at a Q&A with them), and they seemed very sincere, but it also doesn’t explain Agent Carter or how they knew Endgame would be a time travel movie when they first introduced Peggy’s unseen husband when writing TWS pre-2014?

They wouldn't have had any control over other people giving Peggy love interests in Agent Carter

Hell, the headcanon they apparently have for Endgame was directly contradicted by the Russos, who said this isn't a time loop but two alternate timelines (so Peggy's husband was someone else)

Has to be more than two alternate timelines, right? At the *very* least, the one where Loki escaped, the one where they got the Aether from where Loki is still imprisoned following the events of Avengers, and the one where Thanos and his army mysteriously vanished in 2014.

And if Cap went all the way back to the 40s [rather than say continuing the 70s timeline after he and Tony left] that has to be *yet another* split, because no-one else went that far back.

Yeah we all agree those are alternate timelines, the issue is where Cap going back to the 40s to be with Peggy necessarily causes another split or whether it can stay intact if he doesn't change anything

The latter theory is utterly absurd to me but hey whatever
