How so? I thought he has done an amazing job. Marvel has played up the super soldier program like the comics and has Sam dealing with having to become Captain America in a world where racism would make his job harder, like they did when he took over in the comics. In the comics, Cap always stands up for what the ideal American should be and each wielder of the shield has dealt with different “faces” of America whether it was Steve, Bucky, Sam, John, Isaiah, etc.

I’m curious what you are expecting/want from the character.

    I think "wildly underutilized" would be a better critique.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series was mostly pretty good. The ending was a bit weak, and the story (having changed as a result of COVID) had some hand wavy moments, but I think mostly worked and was a good setup for Sam feeling ready to take on the Captain America role.

    But the movie had a lot of issues, once again many production related.

    I do hope after Doomsday/Secret Wars he gets a chance to shine as Captain America.
