Steve Rogers deserved a better ending in Avengers: Endgame

I know I wrote about Steve Rogers ending in Avengers: Endgame before but I really wish his ending had been different. I would have had Steve return the infinity stones, however, with a much needed stop to visit Peggy Carter before returning to the present. Steve truly needed closure with her and I think if the two had a nice talk and shared a dance, it would have given him what he needed to truly be able to move on.

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.

New Music Purchase: Avengers: Endgame Soundtrack

I really love listening to soundtracks and I just ordered the CD for the Avengers: Endgame soundtrack by Alan Silvestri. While I watching Endgame, I was so busy concentrating on the movie that I wasn't paying as much attention to the music. However what I heard sound really good which is why I decided to buy the soundtrack.

I know I could have ordered it digitally but I've mentioned before that I like to buy the CD if it's available. With our world being so digital, it's nice to have the physical copy whenever possible. I forgot to post that I bought the Captain Marvel soundtrack by Pinar Toprack back in March. Unfortunately, it's only available in digital, however it's still a really good soundtrack.

I'm Still Disappointed that Steve Rogers ended up with Peggy Carter in "Avengers: Endgame"

I know with the current state of the country and the world, I know it's ridiculous to still feel annoyed that in Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers abandoned his life and friends in the present to go back into the past for Margaret "Peggy" Carter. And not to mention, Steve going back into the past ruined Peggy's story because she had definitely moved on and had lived a fulfilling life. However, Steve going back and changing Peggy's life was a terrible thing to do simply because in this movie he couldn't move on. Steve treated Peggy as if she was some prize that he won at the end of the fight.

Okay, who doesn't have tickets to see Avengers: Endgame?

Well, I don't. My local theatre is completely sold out for this weekend and since I didn't pre-order my tickets, there's no point in even trying to go this weekend to see it. Maybe I'll go during the week but until then I will do my best to avoid spoilers.
