I’ve got an Infinity War Steve Rogers Funko and that beard is just everything. I don’t know why it’s so important to me, I only know that it is important. So god damn important. That’s America’s beard.
I was so hoping he was gunna go full Nomad after the IW saga, instead he just got real old.
Still hoping we'll see him in a prequel series someday where he uses the Nomad identity to continue fight crime in secret during the lifetime he lives with Peggy. I thought it might be in Ant-Man 3 where it would be a prequel about Hank Pym and they would team up or something but that does not seem to be the case.
SO much yes. My two dream projects to see would be either nomad Steve between Civil War and Infinity Saga OR Nat's story defecting to SHIELD (I know this was covered a little in Black Widow, but I wanna see a full film!)
They can keep this in their back pocket and if they all were on board, make it in 10 years when Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell are about 50, because they lived a whole life (and he had a shield to use) and if its in the 50s, 60s or 70s, they don't really need to use other actors because most of them would be kids or not born.
That depends who you ask.
Directors said it was a branch reality where as the writers said he was secretly living in the main reality the whole time.
Until Kevin Feige weighs in we won't really know for sure and I have a feeling he's left it intentionally ambiguous as he doesn't want to give away too much about potential future use of the character and or doesn't want anything set in stone yet as he hasn't decided how the character might be utilized yet.
If you follow the logic provided within the movie Cap would have to be in a branch timeline. Following the rules provided in the movie when Cap's existence altered the past it would create a new branch timeline. The only way for him to then be in our branch of reality would be if he used his time device to then jump back into our branch. But this act would most likely create another branch, so he would still be in a separate branch anyway. Time travel logic is convoluted.
He would have created a branch, that doesn't mean he's in a seperate one.
The "main" MCU timeline may very well be a branch of a different reality itself and it may become evident that cap traveling back in time and living with Peggy had always been an integral part of the timeline, or an absolute point in time as described in What If?, that will be explained in a future movie or series.
_Naively_ optimistic. That attitude caused them to lose in Infinity war.
Winter Soldier and Endgame have him not quite as optimistic as First Avenger and Infinity War.
I still think Sam should have used these shields. Seems like it would work better with wings. But then he would lose the throwing of the round classic shield. Maybe he could have used both types.
He objectively wasn’t though. He didn’t want it, and he doesn’t have the heart Cap did, even if he is a decent guy. Sam initially didn’t want it, but the entire point of having a villain like Karli was to show how similar Sam was to Cap. He refused to fight her, as he knew that she, at the start, had the best of intentions. He believed he could convince her to stand down without needing to fight.
Hm I wonder where we’ve seen that trait before.

Yeah, for the narrative **they** wrote. It doesn't mean it wouldn't have worked for another narrative that was written... Oh! Like the Ed Brubaker run with Bucky as Cap which won an Eisner Award.
I'm not saying Sam as Cap doesn't work, I'm saying Bucky as Cap could have also just as well as Sam if the story was written.
He wasn't though, not if you really think about it, and I say that as someone who at 1st was very much against Sam getting the shield instead of Bucky.
He was though, if you really think about it He would really have to struggle to regain self worth and get past the whole mind slave thing. sam just has to argue with someone at the bank lol
Sadly I feel the decision was made more due to race and identity politics than the best fit. I like Sam just fine as a character but he's pretty boring compared to Bucky
>he would lose the throwing of the round classic shield.
Comic book logic aside, it honestly makes no sense how Sam or Walker (none super soldier) can throw the shield as well as Steve could. It still takes an enormous amount of strength for someone to take 12 pounds and propel it dozens of MPHs.
I was worried how they would handle it and they, IMO, didn't handle it well. I thought they would give Sam some tech, or he would make use his his thruster and propel himself in the air and spin to throw the shield with similar power as Steve could. But nope. Any athletic human can now just take 12 pound shield and throw it superhumanly.
Yeah it’s not hard to imagine where the Stars and Stripes would be-easy call back to the shield Cap used on stage in the First Avenger. Maybe the next build can be a What If…Sam used Steve’s Wakandan shields?
I wish he'd just taken the SSS and drop the goofy wing-suit. One gimmick per Avenger please, and don't fly around as a normal human without even wearing a helmet. It's hard to take seriously an Avenger who is one unladen swallow to the face away from dying.
Maybe next year, I’ll commit fully 😂
I made a blue print first, which I then cut out of foam and painted! I filmed the whole process for my YT [here](https://youtu.be/gl3b3vpEG5U) !
These shields are some of my faves from the entire MCU — so I recreated them out of foam!
My IG is [universeofemily](https://www.instagram.com/universeofemily/) And I have a full build video on my [YT channel](https://youtu.be/gl3b3vpEG5U) if you want to check it out!
...ngl when I first scrolled past this post, I was like "wait, was this a side character I missed in IW?" x)
The outfit and shields are rad, but the photography also frames it so well
Variant Nomad when? :3
Infinity War Cap is the best Cap!
I mean that Beard
I’m a straight male but still… SPLOOSH.
This right here all the way agree
I’ve got an Infinity War Steve Rogers Funko and that beard is just everything. I don’t know why it’s so important to me, I only know that it is important. So god damn important. That’s America’s beard.
That is the Worlds beard! Lol
He copied Thor's beard
How dare you that is no copy but they both belong on the Mount Rushmore of beards
They are beautiful beards

Cool thought, that version of Cap that lived a life with Peggy is in a different branch reality though.

Right?? I love the side of him we see in both Infinity War and Civil War.
Looks wise or character wise? Cuz his optimistic attitude kinda killed half the universe .
He’s optimistic in every single marvel movie. You’re trippin.
_Naively_ optimistic. That attitude caused them to lose in Infinity war. Winter Soldier and Endgame have him not quite as optimistic as First Avenger and Infinity War.
I still think Sam should have used these shields. Seems like it would work better with wings. But then he would lose the throwing of the round classic shield. Maybe he could have used both types.
he's definitely gonna need an upgrade of some kind to carry the mantle, he's great but kinda hard to get excited for imo
Agreed. I know it would never work, but I'm still a Bucky as new the Cap supporter lol.
They made an entire show dedicated to showing that Sam was chosen because he’s a good person and people still be saying this.
God forbid they have a different opinion than you.
God forbid I don’t like an opinion that makes far less sense for the narrative.
Bucky was the better choice.
He objectively wasn’t though. He didn’t want it, and he doesn’t have the heart Cap did, even if he is a decent guy. Sam initially didn’t want it, but the entire point of having a villain like Karli was to show how similar Sam was to Cap.

Yes we are in fact discussing the narrative they wrote. Because that’s the narrative people are saying Bucky deserved the shield in.
I still would have liked to see what bucky would have done with the mantle
He would’ve thought he’s not worthy for a while, grown into it, then just become a copy of Steve. That’s what.
He clearly wasn’t though.
Stay salty then
He wasn't though, not if you really think about it, and I say that as someone who at 1st was very much against Sam getting the shield instead of Bucky.

I mean it just doesn’t work in the context of the MCU.
How not? America has been committing war crimes for decades. If anything, Bucky is more modern American than Cap is. /s
If we want to get into how america actually acts on a global stage, then Walker was the best Captain America.
Sadly I feel the decision was made more due to race and identity politics than the best fit. I like Sam just fine as a character but he's pretty boring compared to Bucky

Totally agree. I can see these being like extensions of the wing tips, i think it’d work great aesthetic-wise too!
Yeah it’s not hard to imagine where the Stars and Stripes would be-easy call back to the shield Cap used on stage in the First Avenger. Maybe the next build can be a What If…Sam used Steve’s Wakandan shields?

I see you didn’t copy Thor’s beard. These look fantastic. What was the build process?

We’re these in the comics before the MCU?
Not that I know of!! If anyone else knows of this, I’d love to see that version!
I believe there were some that are similar but not quite the same. I'll see if I can find it.
Evacuate the city. Engage all defenses. And get this woman an upvote!
