Tony does end up nearly dying to save the world, so Steve is proven wrong there.įlash-forward to Avengers: Endgame and we’ve seen Tony throw himself into danger time and time again to the point where when he snaps his fingers, I almost wish someone else had made the final sacrifice.ĭo you know who would narratively have fit in that slot? Steve Rogers. In The Avengers, Steve Rogers confronts Tony Stark and says to him, “You’re not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you.” At that moment, it makes sense because Tony Stark didn’t seem like the man who would lay himself on the line in the way that Steve had in the past. There was a seven-year set up from The Avengers that could have been used in Avengers: Endgame and fit with Steve’s character arc.
(Reminder that Steve and Peggy were romantically linked in The First Avenger, but shared one kiss and never even got to go on a date.) Steve’s conclusion feels out-of-left-field for his character, and there are a lot of people who agree with me on that. I know that some fans probably like that he went back in time to have his life with Peggy Carter as if she wasn’t in love with Daniel Sousa and was doing fine without Steve. One thing that has consistently driven me mad with Avengers: Endgame is that ending for Steve. Steve was a man out of time, sure, but he worked hard to readjust and to fight for his found family, only to leave them behind.
Making Peggy “the love of Steve’s life” and his one goal at the end doesn’t fit with a lot of his character growth since The Avengers, either. But then there is so much of this Peggy Carter storyline that negates her character growth in Agent Carter and throws so much of the established storyline into question that it takes away from Steve’s arc. What is in character works well (I’m talking, specifically, about the Time Heist with Tony and him being worthy of Mjölnir).
#WE WERE HERE TOGETHER SOUL STONE MOVIE#
Now look, I understand trying to include aspects of the story in as many places as possible, but Steve Rogers? The good boy from early-20th century Brooklyn who was, from the beginning, willing to throw himself on a grenade to save everyone in his unit? He is somehow this stone from space? I’m glad the idea was dropped, but it does reinforce a feeling held by some of us that a lot of this movie seemed out of character for Steve. But here we are, returned to the deep end and talking about how Steve Rogers was almost … the Soul Stone?Įarly on in development talks we considered making Cap the soul stone… But that idea fell away rather quickly. I feel like we’re back in the time after Endgame came out, when every plot twist and choice was over-explained by the creatives and I wanted it to end. Many questions were answered, many tidbits were offered, we were given a look behind the scenes, and … maybe given too much information.
Overall, an amazing game, and it is definitely worth the money and time to play it.Last night during the Twitter-based #QuarantineWatchParty hosted by, Avengers: Endgame screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were joined by directors the Russo brothers. The only thing I am not really a fan of is the fact that there is no way for both you and your friend to make it out alive, which is different than the other two games in the series. As story goes, it builds upon the previous two game's story, a king who rules with bloodshed (We Were Here, stage puzzle) and the story of sacrifice for eternal life (We Were Here Too, entire map), and continues with the one character forging a soulstone, so that the court jester can help to revive the king, while the other forges a weapon, with no reason known to him why he would need it. The second to last room is by far one of the coolest puzzles to me, as you had to mix and split chemicals to create the soulstone. I had to literally bring out an old notebook to write down clues from my side of the puzzle and from my friend's side as well. Puzzle-wise, the game cranks what they have been doing up to a 10. Warning, puzzle and story spoilers ahead. This one is by far my favorite out of all of the games in the series. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
