It's kind of shallow, but I think the point is that despite Sam Wilson literally being the only serious candidate for the position of Captain America, the government was never going to name a successor to Steve that wasn't a blonde white guy

It's weird that they name one at all. Like, they didn't really have any control over Steve Rogers anyway.

What does a Captain America even do?

what's funny is I GET why the Gov would want a Cap as like a Mascot to do the goodwill tour he's doing in episode 2, but why would you ever want this normal non-powered guy running operations against super soldiers and shit?

Yeah - why would you want your mascot to do very dangerous missions at all! Even without the super serum stuff, they were outnumbered and trying to fight on a moving truck.

And it's a secret mission, so it's not even like they're getting footage.

They tried to handwave how "normal" Walker was pre-serum, they have the whole thing about how he's such an accomplished soldier that MIT scientists wanted to study his body because he's the absolute peak of human performance etc

Wasn't "peak human performance" what Steve's power in the comics was?

Yeah but they stretched the definition of that to absurdity I guess the MCU doesn't even try to pretend the stuff Steve does could be accomplished by anyone with a good diet and a disciplined training schedule

also his power level in the comcis was always kinda flexible, like there was absolutely a time when he had full on super strength (like he def does in the movies)
