Can we talk about Steve here? The way he’s looking at the Tesseract. He must be thinking “how could something this small cause so much pain?” The war it started, the years it cost him… the friends he lost…
can I just-
this is the only closure Steve gets for the war. That the weapon that fueled Schmidt’s maniacal search for power beyond what the Reich could give him, the weapon that created the backbone of Hydra’s weaponry, the weapon that contributed to Bucky’s fall, to the bombs on the plane, to Steve’s decision to down the plane {ten days} and then everything he lost because of that-
this is the only closure Steve gets for losing everything.
I hate you so much right now.
I get that a lot now
#Marvel#Avengers#Steve Rogers#ugh#u g h#I invite you#for a moment#to imagine Steve’s face after Fury told him they had the tesseract#when he walked out into the hall#and leaned against the wall there#and just realized that all of his sacrifices#all of his friends’ sacrifices#Bucky’s sacrifice#ultimately amounted to very little#because this damned cube was still fished out of the ocean
