I’d like Cap 3 movie
petition to rename captain america civil war avengers civil war and finally make the real cap three (food for thought: captain america: the nomad, following fugitive steve rogers as he struggles between following his morals and disobeying the world, while balancing new/old relationships and taking down whats left of hydra)
Wow. I usually don’t like this crossover but... This. Is. So. Cool
Harry Potter/Avengers AU
The Avengers are a team of Witches and Wizards fighting against the Dark Lord Thanos.
Tony is the mad Wizarding inventor who is a genius with a wand. Bruce is a part-time healer, full-time shape-shifting werewolf. Clint and Natasha are Unspeakables. Thor is a Quidditch beater. And Auror Steve has one hell of a shield charm.
(Oh, and Loki is a Death Eater, which no one is surprised about)
Its pretty obvious isn't it? It's what we were actually told in the film. Nothing wrong with him showing up on the bench. We don't know what device they used for time travel in that reality.
If Steve ended up in an alternate timeline with Peggy, he would have come back through the time machine, not be sitting on the park bench which heavily implies he inserted himself into his own timeline and married his Peggy, thereby wiping out her husband who he saved according to Peggy in a video in TWS. He let Bucky suffer for all those years. It is something I have been thinking about. Steve never lived his life in an alternate timeline because he never came back through the time machine.
I really don’t think the movie supports this. Bruce very specifically says changing the past does not change your future. So that says right there that this theory doesn’t hold water. Otherwise they could have killed Thanos as a baby, like Rhodey suggested, and changed everything. But even if what you say was the case, and Steve went back in the main MCU timeline and left Bucky with HYDRA and married Peggy and erased her life, then the present would be different. Nothing would have happened as it did, so what are the odds Sam and Buck and Bruce would be there just as they were? Would this moment have even happened? Steve would have been old during the fight with the Chitauri and TWS and CW and IW. He could never have done anything that he did. Everything would be wildly different. He couldn’t just change Peggy’s timeline and leave everything else to happen the exact same way to lead them to that moment. All these characters are way too pivotal to the story for that to make sense.
So I think it’s way more likely he created an alternate timeline. Maybe the Hank Pym of his timeline sent him back? Maybe Dr. Strange did it? He already deals in the multiverse. He looked through 14 million iterations of the multiverse in IW, after all. The point is there are explanations that work. Also, sometimes writers explain things after the fact. Sometimes they leave it open for a reason or because they want the audience to interpret it. And sometimes you have to work the plot as best you can around the important, emotional scene you want (old Steve returning to give Sam his shield). It doesn’t always work entirely. But, to me, this does. And Bucky absolutely knew Steve’s plan. Which means to me Steve had his blessing.
Time travel shenanigans always lead to this 😊 Just my take. I have seen some really good meta on alternate timelines and realities and the multiverse. Maybe someone wants to add?
Some time ago I quite unexpectedly became fond of this superhero. I started researching and this post was one of the first things I’ve read about Steve. He is one of those people (real and fictional) who inspired me to try to change things around me and be more outspoken.
And this analysis is such a good introduction to nuances of Cap’s cbs historical context. Especially for us foreigners
Awww, Stevie, you are number one for me ))

raise your hand if you will never not be salty about the lack of development of a friendship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark in the MCU
Pet peeve time: for the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it’s so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble… grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters.

Wow. This is so right
