Avengers Endgame spoiler thread

Young Steve doesn't marry and spends a healthy platonic life with his best bud Bucky.

Bucky would hopefully be rescued by then so he'd be hanging out with Old Steve and Peggy. Young Steve can be with Sam.

Come to think of it, how old was MCU Steve as of Endgame - minus the time spent in ice. My gut says that even without the 100+ years thing, he'd still be older than Peggy now (whereas he was younger than her before).

Granted, we don't know how old Peggy was in First Avenger, do we?

I believe MCU Cap was born in 1918, was frozen in 1945, came out of the ice in 2011, and returned in 2023. So his age as of freezing + 12 years + the gap between 2023 and 1945.

Minus the time spent in ice, Captain America was about 39 or so.

So he's was 39, as of going back to rekindle his relationship with Peggy.

That would make him a hale 117 year old, or if he jumped 12 years after 1945 to make it more appropriate, still 105. I guess that's the power of the Super Serum.

for that joke you can sit in the corner and think about what you've done

Something I just realized: Rocket was with Natasha's Avengers longer than he was with the Guardians.

Side note but I'm kinda happy Rocket and Nebula are the survivors of the Guardian snap, as they're two of my favorite characters from that franchise.

Was he? Guardians formed in 2014 and got snapped in 2019. That’s about 5 years, same as his time as an Avenger.

EDIT: Oh, right, my bad.

They got snapped in 2018.

Also. I'm with Swampride in this particular complain too. Natasha deserved better, and I don't mean only that she died, is that the narrative itself forgot she did unless it was to make Hulk and Hawkeye show sad faces.

Tony got a decently long funeral scene and Natasha got nothing?

Okoye must be fed up with everyone’s shit

Wonder if they’ll do a Rhodey and Carol romance?

Natasha got a long-ass beautiful scene of the Avengers coming to terms with her death and deciding not to let her sacrifice be in vain. I loved that scene, it was one of the saddest scenes in the film.

Speaking of the timeline, I imagine a dialogue.

Falcon: Hello, I imagine that you are the new ones.

Nebula: The new ones?

Rocket: We have been in the team for 5 years.

Nebula: In fact, we have been members for longer than you and Wanda.

They gave a Word of God explanation for why she didn't get an open funeral and it does make sense to me, but narratively speaking I think it would've been nice if they did have a proper scene indicating that they gave her a private funeral to memorialize her sacrifice to future generations who care to know. Even if she was a private person, I doubt she wanted to erase her presence to the degree of damnatio memoriae. Releasing her files in Winter Soldier was incredibly difficult for her, but having them give her a small memorial, even if it did not name her directly, would be a nice indication of some development on her part.

Yeah, she was definitely a public figure too; I didn’t like that excuse.

I mean, she's emphatically shown as someone who dislikes being a public figure, to the point that she makes up numerous aliases and disguises in order to remain under the radar. And allowing her information to become public knowledge is presented as a great sacrifice on her part in The Winter Soldier. But it's a direction that I wouldn't have minded them taking her in.

They should have juxtaposed it with a very public service attended and viewed by millions for Iron Man and then the private actually involved people for everyone who is truly gone like him, Natasha, and Vision

Another grim thought is the potential of one of the snapped warriors who came back for the final battle actually dying during that fight for good

Any chance Black Widow ends up being a Stealth Sequel?

That depends if Scarjo wants to continue being Natasha.

I imagine a fair number of Cannon Fodder soldiers and wizards went through that. Most of them likely knew what they were getting into beforehand though, especially the Wakandan army.

There's always a chance of just about anything until it actually happens.

I don't expect they are going down that route, but it's the MCU so I'm not going to rule out much.

I imagine they didn't have a memorial for the Vision because, uh, they already had one five years ago. When he died.

Poor Quicksilver. No one cares about him any more. Not even Wanda.
