>>112677910>So they decided to ignore actual character consistency and plot points for emotional payoff that did not naturally for with the character they chose to give it to.They. Did. Not. Ignore. Shit. It's considered character development even if the character consciously reneges on a previous choice they made earlier because they're presented with new choices.
>"Changing his mind" because of time travel is a convenient excuse for ignoring the development and changes of your character.It's convenient to Cap, the guy who had his life stolen from him, it also makes sense to anyone else observing his life up to that point that he'd make that decision.
>They could have shown him actually regress and change back but instead we are left to assume that he changed his mind because he saw her for a moment through a window. It's the problem with endgame overall, they skipped all of the growth and development of the core characters to skip to the endpoints of those characters, half-assing the payoff.You are asking for a significant portion of time to be spent on a character arc in an already bloated as fuck movie that has to wrap up nearly a decade of stories, and yes, sometimes it's as simple as seeing a portion of your past turn up again to change your mind about something, it happens all the god damned time.
>It's the problem with endgame overall, they skipped all of the growth and development of the core characters to skip to the endpoints of those characters, half-assing the payoff.See above, it's a three hour movie wrapping up arcs for characters who have been around for nearly ten years, no shit they can't cram entire sections dedicated to each character going through their changes, that's why they had their cues as clipped as they were, but they were easily understandable to even someone like me who could pick up on why certain characters made the changes they did without having to go over it in too much detail.
