(Avengers: Endgame)
He should have returned to the present knowing that Peggy was a part of his past and that he couldn't truly go back. Steve Rogers was always shown in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as someone moving forward which is why I was disappointed with his ending in Endgame. It felt like a huge step backwards with him trying to live a life of nostalgia instead of seeing the life that he had built in the present.
I didn't have an issue with Steve retiring, he has been fighting for a long time but he didn't have to be an old man for that to have happened. After returning the stones, he still could have retired and passed over the shield to Sam Wilson. Then Steve could have found a new interest or went back to an old one such as art. I think it would have been cool to have seen Steve enrolled in art classes at NYU (New York University), displaying his art in an exhibit or taking a much needed vacation. Regardless, it would have been nice if his ending had simply shown Steve Rogers continuing to embrace the present.
This will probably be my final post on Steve Rogers ending for Avengers: Endgame, well at least for a while. I guess it still bugs me that they wrote Steve out of character with him struggling to move on because he has always been someone who was moving forward.

While the alternate ending you described would’ve been good too, I can’t agree with the statement you made about Steve always “embracing “ the present. His whole arc was about him not being able to move on, he literally was willing to die by Bucky’s hand because Barnes was the only thing he had left from the past, when Sam asks him “what makes you happy?” He said “IDK”, in AOU Steve tells Tony “the man that wanted a family stayed in the ice” he literally let the avengers break up because he can’t let you of the past and he hanged on to the memory of his old friend instead of Tony, so Endgames ending for Steve was perfect.
