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

And then Sam pretty much pulls a Dora Milaje, right Says "you don't get to fucking decide who Captain America is" and just declares himself to have jurisdiction as Captain America wherever he is standing (with the shield) Which John Walker also tries, with arts and crafts

When you think about it, what we wind up with here is exactly half of a Reign of the Supermen

Maybe 3/4ths if you take Bucky as the Cyborg Superman

No, he's bad but Cyborg is the actual bad guy who arranged all the bad things Last Son/Eradicator gets a last-second redemption when he realizes the only way to be true to Kryptonian values is to bring back the real last son of Krypton and defend the planet he's chosen to love

Either way she's almost-certainly right - there's going to be some kind of major disaster/attack in the finale and Sam will "become" Captain America because he steps up and leads and people look to him as "Yup, that's Captain America" same way it happened for Steve...

...after having originated the "title" as a fictional stage/movie character for the USO effort. ...Heh. It JUST occured to me that the ENTIRE reason for this to have been a team-up show might be so Bucky can be onhand to reprise "Let's hear it for Captain America!" from CA:TFA

Calling it, they'll do the *exact* music cues, but with the updates to make it "Sam's" Theme. I've also wondered where the inevitable Niece / Nephew of Sam will show up and call him "Uncle Sam" - which will be heard by some Govt Guy who'll go "We can work with this."

His nephews have been calling him Uncle Sam for the whole show already
