One of the many things that frustrates me about the MCU is that Steggy could have been something really good - and stay with me now.
It could have been one of the pillars of Steve's story, this man out of time incapable of moving on from things long gone, forever hung up on what if's and could have been's, stuck on this one girl he barely knew, wondering if he ever really had a chance with her.
His ending, the resolution to his story, was supposed to be learning to let go of the past and live in the present. His conclusion was supposed to be throwing that damn compass away, breaking it, burning it, something and going out to a bar to find someone new. He was supposed to move on.
But the creators were so exhaustingly stupid and stubborn, that in the last five minutes of what could have been a really good movie, they broke Steve's character, broke his story and his character arc, broke the time travel rules they established in the very same movie.
Steve's story and Peggy's role in it could have been something really great. They'd been building it up for years. And they screwed it up at the last second, tripped - downright fell on their faces at the finish line.
All because they'd rather break it all themselves than let the fans make up something they didn't agree with.
