Among the main reasons for these changes, the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike has played a significant role, putting various projects from different studios on hold. By reinventing the mantle in Falcon & The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson can drag Captain America kicking and screaming into the 2020s.Recent times have witnessed a cascade of shifts in the MCU’s upcoming project list.
Steve Rogers the man knew this, but his iteration of Captain America could never escape the shadow of the past. The Blip recovery continues, and America deserves a superhero who not only represents their ideals and aspirations, but also understands the injustices they suffer, and the definition of patriotism in a global society. But as the MCU slowly inches into Phase 4, the world no longer needs a vintage Captain America, and Steve Rogers understood this. Phil Coulson famously pointed out in The Avengersthat " people could use a little old-fashioned" and his words rang true throughout the Infinity saga. Exemplified by his instructional video cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Cap was an old-fashioned relic of a bygone era - an anachronism in a rapidly changing MCU landscape. Unless Falcon & The Winter Soldier has a really downbeat ending in store, Sam Wilson finally becoming Captain America will prove that Steve Rogers was right about both of his friends.Įverybody loves Steve Rogers, but few could deny the original Captain America was, through no fault of his own, a bit of a dinosaur. Though he's now rid of the brainwashing, Bucky is still haunted by his crimes and questions whether he deserves the second chance he's currently enjoying. Steve pierced through the " Winter Soldier" facade and saw the Bucky he knew rattling around inside, risking everything to save his best friend from HYDRA's control.
Most telling of all, Sam asks why Bucky is so invested in him becoming the new Captain America, to which the Winter Soldier replies that if Steve was wrong about Sam, he must've been " wrong about me too." Bucky makes a good point here Steve stood by his BBF when the entire world wanted him locked up, or worse. Raynor must be doing something right because, between the laughs, some good points are raised. The impromptu therapy session between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes is, without question, one of Falcon & The Winter Soldier's funniest moments, but Dr. If John was right about making folks feel safe being in Captain America's job description, Sam Wilson is the only hero doing that right now. Nowhere is this more obvious than in his conversation with Karli Morgenthou, where Sam could've made a vital breakthrough were it not for John Walker bursting in with all the subtlety of a fart at a dinner party. Whether it's the fellow seafood merchants of Delacroix, an understandably bitter Sharon Carter, or the skeptical residents of Latvia, Sam Wilson constantly does his best to accommodate the fears and insecurities of other people.

As a crowd of bystanders watch him pummel a man to death on the street, Walker has some way to go in that regard.
But, perhaps without even realizing, Walker does offer one valid observation - Steve Rogers would always make others feel safe. During his Good Morning America interview, Walker claims that "guts" qualify him to step into the Captain America breach, spectacularly missing the point Steve was trying to make. It doesn't take a brain the size of Bruce Banner's to see that John Walker has absolutely no idea what Steve Rogers stood for.
