Three original Avengers saw their story come to a close in Endgame, and while each ending makes sense, Steve Rogers' is particularly perfect.
Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, and Steve Rogers are all original Avengers whose stories come to a close in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, but Captain America's narrative end is particularly perfect. The Marvel Cinematic Universe faces a problem unique from Marvel Comics in that its heroes simply can't continue on in perpetuity.
Avengers: Endgame Gave Steve Rogers The Ending He Deserved Steve Rogers narrowly survives Avengers: Endgame, and when presented with the opportunity to time travel once again to return the Infinity Stones, he chooses to stay in the past and live out a new life with Peggy Carter. The scene of Steve and Peggy finally getting the dance that was promised is emotionally resonant and well-earned.
Indeed, after Steve and Peggy both spent a lifetime marred with difficulty and tragedy fighting for the forces of good, it felt earned that the two were able to find peace with each other. More perfect yet is the fact that the exact details are left to the imagination. Steve's choice to keep their story private while passing his Captain America shield to Sam Wilson further adds an aura of intimacy and contentment befitting the pair.
Steve and Peggy had to overcome several obstacles, most notably that in the then-present timeline of the MCU, they were decades apart in age, and Peggy had already lived a full life. Endgame addressed this with its limited concept of time travel, and keeping things vague avoided cementing any plot inconsistencies or confusion. Furthermore, by returning to pass on his mantle as an old man, he ensures that the world still has Captain America to fight for it.
