This story takes for granted why Peggy loves Steve and simply shoves them together without proper development or impetus, expecting the audience to go along with it and accept that because their love is possible, it must be immutable. It’s a disappointing revision to their relationship that fails to acknowledge what brought them together in the first place. It's a scene that only makes sense in the context of the film it's reflecting, but it completely abandons the original intention of the line. “Maybe you haven’t found the right partner,” Peggy says, and the two share a knowing look. On Captain Carter, Steve jokes with Peggy that Colonel Flynn could send her on a USO tour (like the ones Steve went on at the beginning of The First Avenger) and that she shouldn’t feel bad about taking the Super Soldier serum from him because he was never much of a dancer anyway. When Peggy asks if he’s ever danced, he explains that he’s waiting for the right partner. In the film, Steve is embarrassed after calling Peggy a “beautiful dame,” then admits that he doesn’t know how to talk to women because no one is lining up to dance with a guy they might step on. The half-hour episode shows Peggy’s romantic intentions just moments after she’s given her powers in a scene that mirrors their first car ride together in Captain America: The First Avenger. That’s when Peggy found trust and the two fell in love. It’s not nearly as hard to have compassion and fight injustice when you’re at the end of the stick, but when the stick was put in Steve’s hand, he proved who he really was. Not because she couldn’t be with twink, but because he stayed true to who he was when he was given the power to change. Their connection was born when he was Small Steve, but it wasn’t until he became Captain America that their love blossomed. He never lets the power corrupt him, and that, if you ask me, is why Peggy fell in love with him. But, as we all know, the kid from Brooklyn never forgets where he came from, and Steve retains his heart and character. He now has the power, both physically and politically, to assimilate with the oppressors and become the bully that he - and Peggy - once stood up to. With his new body and abilities, Steve ascends to the ranks of alpha male tough guy. Related: Marvel's What If?
