y'know I gotta be honest seeing headlines that just say “The New Captain America is Black!” thing kinda bugs me because I feel like it’s insulting to Sam Wilson’s history?
like it’s basically just reducing him to “the black guy” and while yeah he was the first African-American superhero, I feel like saying “Sam Wilson is the new Captain America” would be more appropriate
in the case of female Thor I’m not bothered by “The new Thor is a woman!” because we don’t know the identity of the new Thor. also I totally had a feeling the new Cap was either going to be Sam, Rhodey, or Isaiah.
the fact that the new Captain America is black is awesome, but I feel like the headlines should be more like “The new Captain America is Black! Longtime Captain America Ally Falcon Takes Up the Shield”.
idk just my thoughts cuz I like Falcon a lot and I’m really excited to see him as Cap.
