Nahhhhhhhh, not at all. Because he hasn't really changed. Does change HAVE to mean becoming enhanced? Not necessarily. But Sam Wilson as we know him is not really for that Shield or that mantle.

He's a good soldier, a good man but he has not truly unlocked his ability to lead as of yet. Being a black man in America and putting a literal target on your back as the symbol for a country, one that is imperialistic in nature is a hell of a lot to ask. But so is jumping on a fukking grenade.

Sam is unable to make the sacrifice play as of yet. Once he is, he'll be worthy of the mantle and an enhancement...

The thing is, as Zemo pointed out, anybody who WANTS to take the serum is already trending toward authoritarianism. Steve is an exception because he didn't ask for the power, it was given to him by someone who knew what it would do to someone who already had that much compassion and bravery.
see that’s where I’m coming from. Not on him taking serum but him accepting he can be cap and stand on his own while being a different cap. And I know that’s where the story is going and I’m loving the ride to get there.

Sam has to reconfigure what it means to be captain America in this world that enslaved his people for 400 years and haven’t made it any easier on them since. And embrace what makes him different and his perspective unique from Steve.

I do think he can make the sacrifice play though because as you point out, being a black soldier in America and even being a little willing to wear that shield is a sacrifice play. It’s his life and the life of his loved ones.

They will never make a successful falcon as captain americA. Simply because you run into the issues any black main character hero and writer penciler are going to come into conflict with.

Which is,...why is said black hero not saving the entire world. Or liberating black people on us soil entiretly.
in a sweeping focus initial fashion.
It is the biggest connundrum of being a black comic book creator.

Plus any writer or illustrator of color being a comic book creator.
Plus having an assignment that does not feature a black character. To having a black character initially as well.

I'll tell you what.... do this

Just hold off for a bit right.

Wait for MK to drop (cuz I'm guessing you got HBO Max), watch that movie like 2 or 3 times, then go to your settings and cancel it.

Then just order Disney+ (maybe even check with your phone provider for that combo plan..... I literally have D+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for like $8) Also by then you can binge watch all this and get ready for Loki

How is captain America going to be a regular human who can get his ass beat by every avenger level threat?


Captain america is all about being outmatched.
Then running into battle with only shield.
going against threats he not a match for.

What tha fukk?
The entire old shooter run is about cap being such a bad ass hand to hand guy.
That it still is not enough versus superpowered beings. Hence cap being with serci or always flanked by.....wait for it.



ThE AVENGERS


Originally the avengers got whooped't by namor and hulk pretty routinely.
The entire premise of the avengers is not being strong enough to really beat anyone.
Which is an extension of the story book mechanics of captain america..
Even us agent came about and was put out to pasture. With marvel trying to make a more tougher whoop ass cap with none of the morality. Yet still having the exact same issues as steve rogers versus anyone.

Did you do a discovery of the source material?

You don't even have to answer.

The thing I hate the most about discount cap and token brotha is they didn’t earn shyt.

Steve Rogers battle Red Skull, Hydra, Thanos and Ultron.

Sam earned his rep battling, Hydra, Thanos army twice and other Avengers. Even Bucky fought Thanos army twice.


This two lames walking around like they’re the shyt. :stopitslime: fukk outta here.

Isn't Great Value Brand Steve Rodgers like a really accomplished air force guy?
