You mean Peggy? ;-)

Yeah, I know. But then again, the identity of her husband was never, in fact, stated on-screen, in any media. Agent Carter presented Daniel Sousa as a strong contender, but they only actually got together in the final scene of the show, which was then cancelled, so we never got to see what a full romantic relationship between them might look like (dedicated agents, both married to their work, based out of offices on opposite sides of the country? I can see how there would be complications to overcome). And then Endgame went and torpoedoed that one anyway.

My problem with Endgame is less ‘but what about Peggy’s husband?’ because there is no way of knowing for sure that her husband wasn’t Steve-in-hiding all along (sure, she described him in an interview as a person ‘saved by Captain America’, but if she was concealing his true identity, she would say stuff like that), and more ‘but how disrespectful to Peggy to silence her voice and treat her as a passive reward for Steve’s service’. Plus, obviously, for those of us who enjoyed her relationship with Sousa, it was a shame to have it sunk by the movie-verse like that.

Which I think is a big part of why I loved it so much that Agents of SHIELD in its final season looked across at their sister show and saw this fine character sitting on the shelf gathering dust, his happy ending taken away by another branch of the franchise in a less than ideal manner, and said, ‘he’s ours now’, and then ran with it. And honestly, the way it played out was way more respectful both of Peggy and her relationship with Sousa than anything we saw in Endgame. I loved what AOS did with Sousa, and the new happy ending he got! And I love it because it means I get to live in a universe where all of these characters lived happily ever after, and I am on board with that.



I just wish Endgame had treated Peggy with as much respect.
