It really baffles me that anyone would be angry about this when Sam is OBVIOUSLY going to become Captain America by the end of the show. This is just a little obstacle/character development before he gets there.

You and I are in the same boat, Anon.

This.
Plus, yes, there's the angle of racism... IN UNIVERSE. Of COURSE the reason the government didn't let Sam keep the shield and looked for some blonde blue-eyed guy was racism. But that's to drop the anvil that RACISM IS BAD PEOPLE. It's not racism of the writers, it's the whole point!

Actually saw a whole Tumblr post about this, about how Sam doesn't think he can afford to be all "fuck your rule and orders" the way Bucky and Steve are.

It's really interesting. Despite being an Avenger and a hero who fought against Thanos, he still doesn't have the power to fix his family's financial problems. And there are idiots who don't recognize him but still feel compelled to treat him a certain way based on his skin color, and are just as stupid when they DO recognize him.

Note that I don't hate any of this from a story perspective. It's just really interesting to watch. But I guess I can see how it might upset some folks, who might take it differently from how it was intended, especially after last year's awful events.

I like that financials are coming up. The Tony Stark Mystery Fund is convenient but uninteresting. I want more characters like Peter Parker. The people who do this but still have to have, ya know, a day job and shit.

People have been complaining about the lack of character development and nuance with the secondary MCU characters for ages. Now there are shows trying to do that and...people are complaining? Sam even came across as hesitant when Cap gave him the shield. I'd be shocked if the show went straight to Sam embracing the mantel, especially as some of his hesitancy clearly is related to his lived experiences (e.g. racism!)

Even worse are the people saying it's right and good and proper that he shouldn't want to be Captain America and that Bucky is being awful wanting him to have the shield.

Like, honey, episode 6 is going to break your heart. I've seen the action figures.
