I thought the only bad issue in the first arc was #2, but you're right about the pacing. He fell into the same trap as Coates did for "The Crew". Social issues are nice topics to do as subplots, but when it becomes the main plot, it doesn't encourage people to buy comic books when they think they are buying a college lecture. Better off writing for a political magazine.
It does pretty well around here. Then again Moon Girl, Supergirl and a bunch of other echo chamber hated books sell okay and sell out at times.
Then shouldn't it have weaken Winter Soldier, War Machine, Ben Riley and others who got new names after taking over for folks?While I very much enjoyed some of Sams Cap run, Marvel weakened Sams ability to carry a solo by making him Cap in the first place. Beacusd Steve will always come back and now more so than ever fans who never gave Sam the chance will see him as weaker derivative because he took up his mantel for so long.
Shouldn't Dick Grayson be seen weaker since he was Nightwing and then Batman and then Nightwing and then Grayson and Nightwing again? Yet we saw silence in that department.
Sam wouldn't have to wear that CA suit if the echo chamber and FANS stop taking issues with who gets books.
For all the crying about POC legacies-at least black ones-wouldn't THIS say use the original name because that in the long run works out.

Winter Solider can't hold a solo either so there is an argument there that it did weaken him. War Machine and Ben Riley both actually started off as a derivative characters and never could stand on their own for very long. So you kind of proved our points without even trying.
The rest of what you said has so many points that are not related to each other that one can not properly talk to you about it without unleashing a truck load of worms.

I don't have high hopes for any new solo projects, at best he'll be a sidekick in the new Cap series. I doubt he'll be brought into the Avengers as a regular. Limbo time again...
Skyvolt, are you trying to say that the book should've been titled "Sam Wilson"? I don't think the title was why people stayed away. I really think it was the severe pacing issues from the first few issues (1-3 especially) and then word of mouth killed it. Which raises the question, shouldn't an editor have caught that? it also raises questions as to whether the social media crowd that was clamoring for the ongoing really exercises their buying power.
I'll be able to say that I own the entire run of Falcon, which is nice I guess. Unfortunately, I can see Sam and friends disappearing for one or two years before they test the waters again.

I think somebody mentioned something about Sam running a new SHIELD agency. The idea is intriguing and he can appear in many titles in that capacity.
He also brings a level of integrity that SHIELD has been lacking for some time.
Makes sense for Carol to be there - she wants her boyfriend's armor back! But what are Sam and Peter there for?

I have no qualms about Sam being Steve's partner again, provided Coates is not bringing is Black Panther game to the book.
I am really hoping for a second Avengers title.
Sam, Visiosn, Wanda, Clint, and more need a place to call home.
We've got one, Clint will be appearing in West Coast Avengers. It's a comedic book though. The rest of the roster is Kate Bishop, Quentin Quire, America Chavez, Gwenpool.
