I'm not sure Steve knows how to feel the kind of bleak defeat I personally feel about what Marvel has done with the franchise, but certainly I think even Steve has gotten ground down by the shit hand fate keeps dealing him, and keeps dealing him, and keeps dealing him. And I love how the vid shows how he, and we, can be reeled back in, because he can't give up on life and love and connections, and I personally, as much as I keep making the decision to not accept vast swathes of new source as my personal canon, keep going to partake of new source because I love these characters and I'm invested in their stories. And that's what makes the defeats and losses so devastating, and they build up over time
This is so well said, just, YES. "None of this really matters" -- not Steve's life but the defeat we just got handed in IW. Steve might be defeated even by the MCU canon but he's never going to quit.
