He's still Steve, he's just not Captain America anymore. And that is the point, there is more to Steve than Captain America. He's allowed normality.

He's not still Steve. Steve has always hated bullies, and wanted to protect people. That's who Steve is. Even if you've only seen the movies, there was a whole scene about it in the first one.

This. He's incapable of standing by and doing nothing. Especially when it comes to Bucky. Just wouldn't happen.

I think people fundamentally misunderstand Steve's character. He can retire in the future, where he doesn't know more than any other superhero/civilian what threats are coming down the pike. He can trust in others to handle the emergencies, maybe provide some coaching when he needs some exercise. That is still Steve, without being Captain America. There are other people who can handle the responsibility and as time goes on are probably MORE qualified than he is.

But to be the ONLY superhero, AND to know exactly where all the threats are and how to neutralize them and to feel absolutely no responsibility to deal with it? Not only is that Not Steve, that's an anti-Steve. That's a person who has gotten theirs and the rest of us can fuck right off.

Yup. Some characters would think preserving the timeline was important enough to resist the urge to help people. Steve is not that character.

A Steve Rogers who would just give up and retreat to the past is not Steve Rogers.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. Either he goes back to the past and fixes shit (as Steve and/or Peggy's husband and/or Captain America) OR him going back changed the timeline so much that he can't foresee the future and it's not the main timeline anymore. Either is fine, but they needed to commit.

THIS.

The scene that cemented Steve's character was when, FAR before he was given the super solider serum, he was willing to fight bullies "All day" -when Bucky had to save him in the alley-. Steve Rogers, Captain America or not, would not stand by knowing his other self was trapped in the ice, that Bucky was being tortured and Brainwashed, what Natasha suffered in the Red Room, Hydra infiltrating SHIELD, the Starks getting Killed, Tony getting kidnapped in Afghanistan, he would probably also try to stop Bruce from becoming the Hulk.. And that's just like, the ones I am pretty sure he knew. "retirement" is only possible if he brainwashed himself into forgetting... adn that is not Steve rogers.
