12 Awkward Moments That Must Have Happened After Avengers: Endgame

12. Cap Knows Tragedies Will Happen & Does Nothing

Surely the most commonly cited grievance about Endgame's conclusion is that Captain America's (Chris Evans) ending doesn't really seem to hold up to much scrutiny.

Steve ends up travelling back to the past and living out his life with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in a new timeline.

And though Cap has certainly earned a rest by this point, it doesn't quite sit right that he'd simply chill out and enjoy his retirement knowing all the heinous things that will happen over time.

Is he really just going to let HYDRA infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. and Bucky (Sebastian Stan) become a lab rat?

Even if you accept that he might not be physically able to intervene at the time of Infinity War and Endgame, would he not at least tip The Avengers off about what was going to happen?

It feels inconsistent with Cap as we know him, even accepting how time travel is ripe for logical and character contradictions like this. #NotOurCap.
