Why I'm Not Upset Steve Rogers Won't Be Captain America
Game Spot

Recently, us Marvel fans learned some news about our favorite red, white, and blue clad hero. Steve Rogers will, most likely, NOT be Captain America in the upcoming Infinity War movies. That's right. Director duo Anthony and Joe Russo, otherwise known as The Russo Brothers, have confirmed that the blonde we have come to know and love will no longer be picking up that star studded shield. Cue screaming fans, right? Well, not all of us.

As we know from Civil War, Steve gave up his shield after an epic battle with Tony Stark/Iron Man and opted to save his friend from both the authorities and Iron Man's wrath. Then he proceeded to break out Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Falcon from jail, sans the red, white and blue costume. They all (we can assume all of them) moved to Wakanda and a letter was mailed to Tony with Steve telling him that should he ever need them to just call. This lead many fans to believe that Steve had just created the Secret Avengers. But the focus is him no longer being Captain America but just Steve, giving up his mantle as the well-known hero.

But have no fear movie fans. Just because Steve will no longer be rocking that patriotic suit does not mean Captain America is dead in any sense of the word. In the comics, Steve actually died in Civil War and the mantle of Captain America was passed onto Bucky Barnes, who later passed it on to Sam Wilson. Now that the Russo Brothers have confirmed Steve won't be the Captain, we cannot help be think that Bucky Barnes now will be (since Sebastian Stan, who plays Barnes, has a massive deal with Marvel).

In my opinion, someone who has been a fan of Marvel since I was little, and became a megafan as a teen, I love this. Personally, I really do. Captain America, in my head, has not just been a person but an idea. A symbol for truth and justice and to do what you believe is to be right. Captain America proves that anyone can become anything and that, should you work hard enough, you'll come out on top. Should you go against the norm of what everyone is saying to stand up for your beliefs, then you, in a way, are Captain America. As long as the ideals of this character are passed onto whoever should play him next, aka Barnes (fingers crossed), I think we'll all be okay.

Steve Rogers will still be in Infinity Wars despite no longer being his superhero persona. In fact, we don't know if he'll have a persona at all. But that's alright. Because even though we will no longer see him gracing our screens in that bad af costume, he will still live on in our hearts.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
