Bucky later apologizes for his and Steve Rogers' failure to understand that. The show hadn't tackled the issue of race directly since the second episode, but this scene hammers home the complex legacy Sam's been left with. And even if they did, no self-respecting Black man would ever wanna be." "They will never let a Black man be Captain America. Pledge allegiance to that, my brother," he says.
But they've been doing that for 500 years. "They were worried my story might get out, so they erased me, my history.
Sam tells Isaiah the world needs to hear his story, but the former soldier isn't convinced.

Isaiah Bradley reveals his full story to Sam. The show doesn't outright state that his comrades were Black, but seems likely given his reference to 332nd Fighter Group, a World War II-era group of Black pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen or Red Tails. It's pretty close to Isaiah's comic book origin, in which he was one of 300 Black soldiers dosed with experimental serum variations. Isaiah defied orders to rescue his comrades, but they died anyway and he got tossed in prison for 30 years as they tried to figure out why the serum worked on him. When some were captured, the suits were going to bomb the POW camp to erase the evidence. They were sent on missions even though Isaiah's fellow test subjects "weren't stable," sometimes to a fatal degree. He tells Sam how he was part of a group used as guinea pigs as the US tried to recreate the Super Soldier Serum. Revisiting Isaiahīefore accepting that he's the Captain America the world needs, Sam wrestles with the shield's legacy and returns to 1950s super soldier Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) in Baltimore. This costume looked absolutely awesome in the comics, so hopefully they haven't strayed too far from that design. We don't see what's inside, but it's probably a new wing-suit, all fixed up and repainted for Sam to become Cap. The final pre-credits shot sees him opening a mysterious case sent by the Wakandans. Sam Wilson's Captain America costume is amazing. After training in montage (the most efficient way to train), he accepts that he's gotta take on the Captain America mantle to stop the Flag Smashers' New York City attack. Sam spends much of the episode lugging the shield and all its symbolism around after taking it back from Walker. His new shield probably won't work nearly as well as Sam's vibranium one though.Ĭonveniently, Walker's US Agent costume is pretty similar to his MCU Captain America one. Which he pretty much was all along in the show. In the comics, this character is a darker, more intense version of Captain America. The episode ends with a mid-credits scene in which Walker puts a new shield together, implying that he's going to become US Agent. It seems her MCU counterpart might be working for some clandestine extra-governmental group. Her comic book counterpart has a complex history she's typically linked to Nick Fury and SHIELD, but was a Russian sleeper agent and once joined Hydra (where she became Madame Hydra) So her allegiance is spotty. Val - I'm gonna defy her wishes and call her Val - also gives him a blank business card, which seems like a strong networking power play. Marvel Studios/Screenshot by Sean Keane/CNET "It has made you very, very valuable to certain people." "You did the right thing taking the serum," she says. She's one of those flamboyant, pushy Marvel characters this show hasn't had enough of. Let's fling a shield at some SPOILERS for the penultimate episode.Īfter Sam and Bucky take the shield from an unhinged Walker (following a truly epic fight) and he formally gets booted out of the Captain America role by the US government, Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine ( Julia Louis-Dreyfus) swoops in to offer him a new role.
The show is set six months after Avengers: Endgame. Their morally dubious ally Helmut Zemo ( Daniel Brühl) is also in the wind, as he flees Wakandan special forces seeking justice for killing their country's king. Sam Wilson ( Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes ( Sebastian Stan), aka Falcon and Winter Soldier, witnessed the killing after losing track of Flag Smasher leader Karli Morgenthau ( Erin Kellyman).
