  • The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ends with Sam finally embracing the mantle of Captain America. But why did Steve choose Sam to use the shield, instead of Bucky? Should the movies have followed the template of the comics? Why isn't Bucky worthy of shield?

    I like how Sam is able to talk people about their military PTSD therapeutically. Bucky is still traumatized by his memories as the Winter Soldier, so I guess it makes sense. And Bucky is his own thing, the White Wolf.

    Bucky and Steve discussed Steve's successor beforehand. He obviously never wanted to be the next Captain America and agreed with Steve's choice of Sam or he wouldn't have been upset with Sam giving away the shield in the beginning. He agrees that he and Steve hadn't thought the ramifications all the way through, but always believes in Sam as the right man for the job. Character counts.

      The biggest issue I have as a black man with Sam taking the mantle is, his identity as Falcon is now erased. Falcon is an original black hero much like Black Panther. But now he's just tokenized. A "black version" of a white character. Why not just let him be respected as The Falcon. That would've been much more powerful for me because, he isn't being passed a mantle, he building a new legacy. Mackie did a great job with the role of Falcon though.

    This is dissertation-level analysis, and I'm here for it! The best thing about Sam is that he doesn't have the serum, and he doesn't desire it. This makes him relatable to every non-enhanced citizen of the world, and proves to be an inspiration for them. When he says, "we can do better," he's living proof of that--a regular guy doing superheroic things. Not everyone can be a Steve, Thor, or a T'Challa, but everyone can be a Sam Wilson.

But at the same time, the main reason Sam stepped back into the game in the 1st place was because "Captain America needs my help." He wasn't looking for new a new role as falcon or anything else. He, like Steve, saw a fight he felt he had to step into. Whatever role that might be. It's not really about ego or representing just his family or race. It's about doing what's right. in this case stepping into a label for the greater good of everyone. ...IMO.

      Personally, I only had a prob with the boat stuff in ep 5. Thought it went on for too long. I'm not a big TV/streaming guy as an adult but I remember back in the day how TV shows would sometimes have those lil montage moments, which they did in that ep. While a nice call back to my youth, I still just felt that LA scene was a bit much, overall. Other than that, I absolutely loved the digging into Sam's character and his family.

So why not work with his family as a hero. Ayo told him to avoid Wakanda for now. But, she called him by his nickname, so he's still invited to the cookout in Wakanda.

    Overall Sam is the better choice, both for his arc and the MCU. Although it would be a poetic arc for Bucky. Starting off as someone Steve strove to be, becoming the Winter Soldier and then overcoming that. But, he still has a little more work to do. I think he could be Cap in the future but that would mean killing off Sam. Which probably won't happen because there is very little payoff for such a valuable character.
    Also, steer clear of anyone that genuinely believes Walker should be the new Cap.

When Bucky is outed as being Cap, there's a public outcry and he's put on trial for the Winter Soldier's crimes. Steve doesn't take back the shield until Bucky faked his death lol.
