In any case, in Avengers: Endgame, we learn that Steve still cannot get over Peggy. Perhaps they changed their plans because of the fan backlash. Perhaps Marvel realized Steve/Sharon would never set sail. Arguably, Bucky or Sam would be the only characters who might replace Peggy in Steve’s heart. But Steve/Sharon in the MCU is a non-starter. I’m glad she’ll be in the upcoming Marvel television series. But aside from Steve’s two BFFs approving of the First Avenger getting some action, Steve and Sharon flops because the audience remembers Peggy and also remembers that Sharon is Peggy’s niece/grandniece.Īside: I love Sharon Carter in the comics. Over at Marvel, valiant attempts were made to insert Sharon into Peggy’s place in Steve’s heart in Captain America: Civil War. Better to either not have killed Steve in the first place or not to have brought him back and then killed him in Wonder Woman 1984. I love the chemistry of the two actors on-screen but the story is a mess. To add insult to this repetition, Steve takes over the body of some random dude and the implications of the body swap are never addressed fully. It’s a repeated and unnecessary story beat.
Inevitably, Diana loses Steve to save the world.
CAPTAIN AMERICA GOES BACK IN TIME MOVIE
The movie uses clear romantic tropes for the beginning of the Barbara/Diana relationship: the meet cute, Diana saving Barbara, similar interests, and even jealousy.īut, ultimately, this goes nowhere the minute Steve comes back.
CAPTAIN AMERICA GOES BACK IN TIME CRACKED
In the story on screen, her loneliness is only cracked by her interactions with Barbara Minerva. But, since we’re stuck with Steve’s death, emphasizing the final loss of her compatriots from 1917 could’ve had the same effect on Diana’s psyche. That mindset would have worked well with her distance from the world in Wonder Woman 1984. More, she knows, at a deep level, that everyone she loves will die. Diana lost her first family when she left her home. (Did you have to ask yourselves which Steve/Chris am I watching sacrifice himself now?) Continued belowĭiana coping with the death of her beloved human husband from old age in Wonder Woman 1984 would have been great story fodder for the loneliness the story wants to convey. (Many would argue Steve wasn’t needed at all in Diana’s origin but that would be an entirely different article.) The narrative also uncomfortably echoed Steve Rogers’s sacrifice in First Avenger. This was a mistake.ĭiana had already suffered the loss of her aunt and mentor, Antiope, as an introduction to the horrors of war earlier in the movie. The setting works, however, especially in the iconic scene of Diana entering No Man’s Land.īut Steve Trevor is killed off in this first DCEU appearance. Perhaps they wished to avoid comparisons to the MCU Steve in WWII or, as said in an interview, the awful, seemingly pointless slaughter of WWI, helped make the point about the futility of the war. In a change from the comics, it set the time of that first encounter during World War I, rather than the second World War. Wonder Woman the movie stayed with Diana’s iconic origin of her being drawn into man’s world by Steve’s arrival on Themiscyra. Oh, he’s been written out a few times, killed a few times, aged up and married to Etta, etc., but eventually the romantic wheel tend to spin back to WonderTrev. Over at DC Comics, Steve Trevor remains Diana’s primary love interests and has played that role since her original appearance. Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor From Comics To Screen Let’s face it, that’s the canon ship for the MCU. (I still want season 3 of Agent Carter, Marvel!) In the MCU, Steve is still very much in love with Peggy, even older Peggy. Steve and Peggy had terrific chemistry in First Avenger, and Atwell was so terrific as Peggy that she received her own series. Obviously, the movies took an entirely different direction. agent in a time when women weren’t seen as warriors or spies by most men?) Whatever the reason, it was Sharon Carter who served as Steve Rogers’s primary love interest through many years of Silver, Bronze, and Modern Age comics. (Why? Angst for Steve? Backstory to explain why Sharon was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Lee/Kirby created Peggy as part of Sharon Carter’s backstory because it apparently seemed a good idea to have Steve fall in love with the sister/niece/grandniece of his lost love.
