"Every justification I have seen for Steve’s decision in Endgame is that he deserved it. But what they say he deserved, the life he wanted, took the form of a woman.

And finally, it's cheap, depressing, lazy, uninspired writing. Not even like haha MCU bad writing but at the very basics of the hero's journey and character arcs bad writing.
