Time travel wasn't invented yet.

But it happens all the time. Doctor Doom has a time platform, for one.

>Because going backwards isn't a solution. If you had offered me that trip when I first came out of the ice, I probably would have taken it. But experience has given me a better perspective. The people I knew, grew old, found love, made families, sacrificed themselves for what they believed in, going back would change that and it's not my place do that. Wouldn't feel right to take so much, I'm not built that way. I don't claim to understand the science of it, but if it was some alternate timeline they wouldn't really be the people I knew, it would be a lie, a cheat of fate.

>In the end you don't run, you don't quit. Nostalgia for the past can be comforting but you can't live there, you have to move forward, you learn from history, you live with the choices that are made, and you strive to make the world a little better each day. That's how you build a brighter future, and that's what I need to do. It's who I am.

If I woke up tomorrow in 2080 I can all but guarantee, outside of an atomic holocaust, that there would be no way I'd want to go back to 2017.

Originally he woke up about twenty years later. It' wasn't that big of a time skip. Dugan and Fury were still around and working for Shield. Bucky being dead was his one baggage from the war and he resolved that by killing Zemo.

1940-1960 wasn't as traumatic as 1940-2010.

it's funny when people in the streets are like "I remember Cap as a kid!"

This makes me wonder, has there ever been a storyline where Cap is sent back to the year he was put under ice? If not, it would make a pretty great story.

Think of it this way. Originally Cap falls asleep wakes up and the war is won and everyone he fought the war with is still alive except Bucky.

Now he wakes up and everyone he knows is either dead or old as shit and infirmed and America went through Korea Nam and Iraq without him.

I always wanted to see a story where Cap never goes under at all, and stays around to influence the Cold War and shit.

That would make a great What If...
I wish that was an ongoing series. I miss What If.. they barely even put them out these days.

oh yeah it's a great point. i mean they did do a what if about it.

MCU Cap missing the entire Cold War is such a giant thing to try and get my head around

In the real universe the past no longer exist. We are heading toward the end.

He campaiged for human mutant cooperation and was the first man on the moon

Ever heard of something called time paradox? Because that is exactly what you are asking to happen.
