actual footage of me trying to figure out how the exact same people who made Captain America: The Winter Soldier also made Avengers: Endgame

Okay, I’m not reblogging this from anyone in particular because it’s more than one specific person, but I just want to say, there’s a reason I phrased this “the exact same people” and not “the exact same directors” or just “the Russos”.

Winter Soldier and Endgame had the exact same creative team. The Russos were the directors, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were the writers, Kevin Feige was the executive producer.

To reiterate, the same people who wrote Winter Soldier also wrote Endgame. That means the same people who wrote, “None of us can go back,” were the same people who then wrote Steve going back to the woman who literally said those words to him!

(Also, like, the plot of Winter Soldier actually makes sense?? Like, if you “don’t understand time travel” then don’t use it as a plot device??? Or at least bring in another writer who does???? Winter Soldier is an actual movie, not just a collection of cool gifs and callbacks that doesn’t hang together if you actually think about it for more than half a second.)

The point is, I’m not just blaming the Russos here. I’m blaming the whole damn creative team. And they’re all the exact same people responsible for both movies.

That’s what I’m having trouble wrapping my head around.

the same people who wrote steve saying “this isn’t freedom; this is fear” wrote him retiring under mccarthyism.
