Many people in the fandom were and are saying that, to the point where many fans who also love Steve have been put off.

As for the show itself, there were some places where the narrative came across to me as "this is the Right Thing because it's What Sam Wants" rather than "Sam wants to do this because it's the Right Thing To Do." I'm particularly thinking of his dealings with Sarah and Karli. I also didn't like the way Sam and Bucky were behaving in general. They were acting like a pair of fifteen-year-old assholes, not grown men.

I haven't seen FATWS but good lord, *every* CA movie is "this is right because this is what Steve wants." Jesus. By any objective lens you can't look at Steve selfishly interfering with the timeline to get his chance with Peggy, who by all accounts led a perfectly fulfilling life without him, as "The Right Thing to Do." Or him helping to injure/kill a fuckton of LEOs and civilians in Bucharest to save one person. I'm speaking in objective terms. That's not the right thing to do. Sure, it's the Steve thing to do, but what if Sam did it for Riley? Would the narrative support it? I don't think so. The Russos were crazy in love with Steve Rogers and bent the narrative to support his actions, having a bomb go off and countless cars flip but no bodies crushed or blood or gore, having a guy thrown off a motorcycle but not showing him go under the wheels. Because causing manslaughter of civilians to save one person is the Right Thing To Do in the Steve narrative.

Again, I don't know what movies you were watching, because this isn't even a skewed take on canon, it's just plain wrong.

It’s really not objectively wrong. It’s debatable, but easy to see what AYRT means. A big problem with the MCU to me, phase one at least, is that so many actions feel like “This is the right thing to do because Steve or Tony or another character want to do”.
