    What does “officially becoming Cap” mean?

    Steve Rogers Captain America literally passes the Captain America shield to Sam Wilson in Endgame. Is that not officially Sam Wilson Captain America’s start?

    Sure, Falcon and the Winter Soldier will go on to tell the story of Sam’s struggle in becoming the next Captain America, but by that series end, Sam is definitely Captain America.

    When Brave New World starts, Sam is Captain America. The opening battle, that’s Sam Wilson Captain America.

    If you’ve seen Endgame, you know Sam is Cap. If you’ve seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you know Sam is Cap. If your introduction is Brave New World… Sam is Cap.


    That said I get the Brave New World & Thunderbolts confusion. Bucky is a Captain America character, so seeing Bucky in the Thunderbolts trailer makes that film seem like a Captain America film. I know it’s not that simple and it’s a shared universe, but I get that one.

      He did say that he vaguely remembered the end of Endgame with the handing over of the shield, and that he did not see Falcon and Winter Soldier, so from his perspective it does seem jarring for him to be Captain America all of a sudden. Perspectives matter.

      If I had to guess what he was communicating it would be about an official re-showing of the handover of the mantle in the beginning of this new movie, and not requiring people to have seen a previous TV series.

      It could have even been just a montage, from him being given the shield, to where he was at the beginning of the opening battle in this movie, mixing in a recap of Falcon and Winter Soldier best scenes.

          People think it actually means something. Kinda like the “post this on Facebook to prevent Meta from using your post!” type things. It’s just feel good pointlessness that won’t effect anything meaningful.

          Just go look at my posting history, go back about ten months or so, and you’ll get a full understanding what it’s all about. Focus on the comments that discuss Safe Harbor laws.

          If you’re just going to mock me about it, to try and dissuade me from using it in the future, don’t bother, it hasn’t worked in the past, and it won’t work now.

            A) I don’t care about your posting history or any other person’s. It’s not important.

            B) I wasn’t planning to mock you, but you’re definitely being a little defensive.

            C) Since you’re being so defensive, you actually think that it holds any water or would stand up to legal scrutiny given that you’re posting on a publicly accessible forum?

            This feels like the online equivalent to wearing an N95 face mask while on a hike away from civilization: pointless.

              Well the answers to your questions are in that posting history, so it is important, if you’re being intellectually honest about the questions that you’re asking, and not just astroturfing.

              I’m trying to NOT repeat myself now, and derail and sidetrack the conversation currently being had.

              B) I wasn’t planning to mock you, but you’re definitely being a little defensive.

              No, I’m not being defensive, at least not in the way you think I am. It’s just a matter of the repetitiveness, defending from the constant attacks about using it being very tiring, as well as derailing the actual conversations currently being had, and I’d rather avoid them.

              C) Since you’re being so defensive, you actually think that it holds any water or would stand up to legal scrutiny given that you’re posting on a publicly accessible forum?

              I stand by what I said, and I believe the laws on my side on this matter, especially when it comes in Safe Harbor laws, and how laws are greater than user agreements.
