So. Peggy is her middle name, and Carter is her maiden name, and she married Howard after? And Tony has to tell Cap all that, plus that his mother and father spun out on a patch of ice on Long Island one winter because they were fighting, and one or both of them were doing it drunk? And the contempt in his voice when he talks about his mother is the reason for that first, instinctive dislike that Steve has for him, right? Because Steve doesn't know the tired, bitter woman Maria became once the war was over and life and opportunity began to contract and contract and contract until marrying Howard looked like the only chance for freedom she had left, and we know how that turned out. The end of the war was bad for both of them, good for Howard's bank account.
Right? Right. Fuck the timeline.
