Just finished the ep
Their being heavy handed with the pandering. Sam and Bucky get stopped by cops RIGHT as they leave Isiah’s house to nail the point HOME that Isaiah & Sam face similar treatment as black men in both the past & present. Cool but it feels inauthentic.
I told everyone last week that Sam’s hero’s journey was going to end with him accepting that as a black man in America, he not only can, but SHOULD take up the mantle of Captain America. They set the foundation for just that this episode so i’m looking forward to it.
New Cap has JUST the right amount of old school earnestness and new school bravado that makes him a potentially good character. He WANTS to be like and live up to the mantra that Steve Rogers set. But he’a a product of a new world. Not only that, he seems to have been born a normal human man whereas Steve was sickly and slightly deformed. Walker never had to face the lifelong adversity that Steve did, which always made Steve feel like an underdog. When Steve was granted the Super Soldier serum it unlocked what he truly COULD be. Whereas granting Walker the Shield only enhances who he already IS.
In the end he’ll fail to live up to what it means to be Captain America, because even though he’s acting humble, he truly believes that he already embodies those ideals. Sam will be the perfect Captain America because he’ll REDEFINE those ideals into a truly inclusive and diverse mantra.
Bucky...whatever
Ziggiy has spoken
another thing i like about this show is how regular mackie is dude has no super powers and isn't as trained as black widow but since he was introduced i've never seen dude back down even if he doesn't have his suit
why are we against the flag smashes again? 
[/QUOTE]the head writer is a breh
yeah but ...
I'm not complaining at all, breh. But this just feels like some shyt the government would do once the optics of the situation and how they did Sam got back to them. They'd try to pander to black people, surround Cac'tan America with an all black supporting cast so to speak to try and soften the blow and make it easier to accept the situation, no matter how foul it is.

No name Black men get stopped on the regular for doing absolutely nothing, but you call a high profile Black man who is likely seen as a potential agitator getting stopped "pandering" and "inauthentic"?
It's a wonder they aren't both harassed more. If Sam lived in VA or Mississippi, do you know many troopers would be tagging him every time he left the house? I got people who get stopped weekly here. That's not pandering, thats real.Json

It definitely feels like US Agent is going to do exactly what the government wants and kill them and Bucky/Falcon go free agentwhy are we against the flag smashes again?
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
Because the govt said so.why are we against the flag smashes again?
Same govt that had hydra behind them and near nuked several cities
Its a reason why despite the accords seeming reasonable cap wasn't so willy nilly in answering to them unquestionably
All that accountability real quick got taken away when you can say hey nazis were behind it.

@SunZoo I think you might be right about Bucky. I am now leaning toward them doing a White Wolf story in Wakanda with him after this show. First ep he said his only break from his horrible life was Wakanda, this ep he corrected Sam in his White Panther comment and in IW he said, "I love this place."

There are too many shows/movies you can play that spot-the-landmark game with nowadays.
