Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.

I don't even mind all that - I really don't see how he can "fix" history, even if he wanted to - but I also don't buy the "we never saw Agent Carter's husband" story; he's overwriting her children.
Actually, to be clear, I am torn. I get that there's some lovely symmetry to it, and I really did feel warm and gooey when I saw it in theaters. It just gets worse the longer I think about it.

Agreed on both counts.
The writers have said they feel the children were always Caps kids.
I have only watched Captain America, Avengers, and Winter Soldier and read a lot of Steve/Bucky fanfic, so this is very odd to me.

The Russos, on the other hand, who are way better about details than the writers (the writers are the sort who should just not...talk, bless, and there's no way for it to be same timeline without contradicting massive amounts of the text), are on the alternate timeline train.
Which, you know, so am I. We know Loki made one, 'cause he gets a DisneyPlus series about it.
Yeah, I've always assumed "alternate timeline" for Steve. He and Peggy continued to fight the good fight in whatever timeline he hopped to while our prime timeline happened as we saw. Then after Peggy's death Steve hopped back to the prime timeline to say goodbye to Sam and hand over his shield. (Steve and Bucky's dialogue before Steve leaves as well as Bucky pointing out old Steve to Sam heavily implies Bucky knew exactly what Steve was planning.)

Oh, I'm damn sure Bucky knew.
I do know about what the writers said, but I just can't make it make sense so I kind of ignore it. Hopping timelines... I mean, I guess, but how? No, I'm not really expecting anyone here to justify it. Just complaining. Also, I definitely think Bucky knew. That, at least, is not one of my complaints. /EndgameWhine
I kind of picked up the fandom only after Endgame, so I apologize for being all "feelings!" when I'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseam. If they ever get around to airing something new, I'll try to stay more current.
