Disappointingly, ‘Avengers’ couldn’t go beyond queerbaiting

The Cap’s worldview — learning to live without a war — could have easily been lent a relevant edge by having Cap retire into a peaceful life in the 21st century with Bucky. Instead, he is, literally, sent back in time to be with Peggy Carter.

The release of Avengers: Endgame reaffirmed the common knowledge among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that a number of characters would reach the completion of their story arcs. And the movie has managed to unravel the character of one of its key figures — Captain America. While certain fans are extremely satisfied, there are others like me who are less than pleased. We are frustrated with Marvel because of the “queerbaiting” surrounding Captain America. His story, spanning a trilogy and four Avengers movies, has never revolved around a romantic partner, as his selflessness and the need to stand up for what is “right” has kept his stories packed with conflict and action, preventing him from pursuing any steady romantic interest.
