Quite unexpectedly, our New Cap is caught amid controversy as a reputed news portal refused to acknowledge Sam Wilson. As soon as it caught the attention of the wide Fandom, they didn’t give it any second thought and came in to defend the new Cap. It was very clear to the fans what is the real subtext hidden behind this.

It has always been the Captain drawing his shield to protect his the people from dangers and catastrophes but now it’s time for them to repay and they successfully do so by defending Sam Wilson from this new injustice by a news outlet that still refers to him as some sidekick to the MCU big bosses. According to the fans, it can’t be so difficult to call him Captain America:
The fans are enraged by this move and also equally upset about the demeaning nature of the article and the subtext beneath it. Moreover standing in the 21st Century, the public platforms do need to take responsibility regarding what they speak about and how they speak about hat respective topics.
