Did the ending of Endgame really treat Peggy Carter fairly?
Independent, feisty, proto-feminist Peggy . . . .
[Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
screencap found at theavengers]
Did that ending really ship Peggy with self-worth?
do you ship Peggy more with Daniel, Jack or Jason?
I ship Peggy with self-worth, life choices that are in no way derivative of the men around her, and eternal happiness.
Also Steve.

G) so even if "It's only 5 seconds for them, he didn't leave them behind!", as we can see it's not 5 seconds for him and he certainly did leave them behind. And also, he knows of the life Peggy built for herself and how happy she was, what exactly drives him to think that a life with him is HER true happiness? Because in the end, the argument posed by these fans is "HE's finally happy!", never "THEY're finally happy". It can't be because we all know SHE was happy already. Doesn't she count?

She doesn’t count, she doesn’t even have a speaking role, she’s a price, a trophy wife and the real Peggy Carter would not stand for that shit. There are also so many questions there? Does she get a choice? Does Steve tell her the truth about who he is and where the other Steve is? Would she even want Steve then? Would she not choose the Steve from her timeline?
Oh and Steve absolutely left them behind for a lifetime, it does not matter that it was 5 seconds for them, for him it was a lifetime and he was fine living it without ever seeing his friends (unless Marvel explains this in the future and there was more to it than what we saw)

How should Steve's closure with Peggy have gone?
steve’s closure with peggy in endgame should’ve been a moment in the 1970 scene when he’s in her office and watching her through the window busy at work. he sees/hears peggy’s assistant or secretary come in, saying, “your husband called. he said the kids got in safely and are at the house now and can’t wait to see you.” (this is assuming the kids were born in the early 50s and are college-age/have moved out by this time) or something along those lines. or steve sees her husband himself (my man, sousa!) coming to visit her at work and saying the same thing in person. either way, these scenarios allow steve to see (even though he’s probably heard her life story many times while visiting her) that a) peggy was thriving and successful at her job, b) she raised a family, and c) she moved on with her own life without steve. then as he realizes these things, steve lets a soft smile creep up onto his face and whispers “goodbye, peg” as he leaves. and that would’ve been it.

Did Steve have the right to hijack Peggy's life?
