You're acting like Sam can't change his mind. The USA has a pretty racist history, so it's not unreasonable for him to rethink accepting the mantle after thinking for longer than a few minutes of saying goodbye to his closest friend.
I'm sure Steve did discuss racial issues with Sam, but that doesn't mean Sam blindly accepts the shield. And as bad as discrimination against Irish Americans was, that never stopped Irish Americans being racist against others. Steve himself opposed racism but probably wasn't a victim of it himself, so his perspective is different
Ok, all I'm saying is it's not unrealistic for racial issues to come up after all this time, but maybe they did off-screen. These superheroes are all about good vs evil, and racism is an evil in society, so at some point a hero who suffered from racism would talk about it, even if he never talked about it before.
Romances come and go, but they're not necessarily concerned with good and evil
Actually, as another had said, Sam didn't happily accept it in Endgame. He specifically says it doesn't feel like it belongs to him. Maybe you should watch the film again? And just because Sam was fortunate doesn't make Isiah's take bs. Sam also had the benefit of being amongst other white people when he was arrested. Isaiah wasnt.
Yeah to show how much his legacy meant. He still said i’ll do my best and thank you
I didn’t say Isaiah was wrong i said Sam’s reaction was wrong. Also he didn’t get pardoned until 3 years after civil war. Him and all his white people friends as you put it. People also seemed to have forgotten about civil war since nobody cares that Sam and Bucky were criminals for 3 years. Not that i blame them since they saved the universe but again Sam should be furious at Isaiah which he kinda was at first for disrespecting Steve. Again great parallels that are wasted
The only time this happened was when Bucky and Sam visited Isaiah and Bucky told him that Steve didn't know about Bradley. So I don't know where you are getting this questioning Steve's legacy is coming from?
Firstly What Isaiah said was not BS. That was his experience with the American govt. Sam can accept Isaiah's POV and also believe in himself that he can pave his own path. Why would it be hard to believe that Steve and Sam didn't talk about race issues? Other than recommending a Marvin Gaye's album Trouble Man to Steve there hasn't been that many stories that centered on AA experience in the MCU
