Right. His LEAD role came after his SUPPORTING role.Altered Carbon came after his falcon role. All these new roles came from his exposure from the falcon role.
Yeah I'm not joining in tearing down a hard working black man in his first major role.
I mean being Cap doesn't automatically make you the leader.But my only "concern" is, they've never shown Sam to have team leadership skills. So when they make ensemble movies, who's gonna really take orders from him? Ant-Man already waxed him and he's basically entry level Avenger.

No, that’s only one individual doing that as a result of some weird fetish he has with Captain America and his close associates.The fact that this thread still calls him Clarence shows how much respect he has out here![]()
Speaking of black men in positions of authority, why isn’t Rhodey leading the Avengers? It’s either:
A) he’s too busy working with the US military
B) not in the greatest state because of his physical condition/age
C) he just doesn’t want to
Also if anybody looked in to Steve's MCU war record, they would see he led nothing. Not a unit or battalion or division. Not even a small team on a mission. All his stuff was solo or him going rogue.

A. Rhodey is still in that government leash. Making him the leader is pretty much joining the military.
I think he’s one of the keys to holding the government back from just killing off the avengersA. Rhodey is still in that government leash. Making him the leader is pretty much joining the military.
Didn't he lead many of the little missions to take out the Hydra outposts after he freed Bucky and the Howling Commandos? He saw the map of their outposts when freeing them and then they organized attacks. It's been a while since I watched TFA.
Its the first two. As recent as Infinity War, Rhodey after being injured still worked for the US military. We saw in IM2 he isn't some free agent. He works and promotes for them. In AoU he's telling stories about his missions.Speaking of black men in positions of authority, why isn’t Rhodey leading the Avengers? It’s either:

At first, no one. That was the point of the Accords. I guess it’s going to be SWORD now.Who gives the Avengers jurisdiction to do what they do in the first place? I figured it was an international agreement settled by a bunch of nations. They seem pretty chummy with the US military already or at least that’s how I’ve seen it.
Oh definitely! Rhodey low key a secret Avenger.I think he’s one of the keys to holding the government back from just killing off the avengers
Those were not missions.Didn't he lead many of the little missions to take out the Hydra outposts after he freed Bucky and the Howling Commandos? He saw the map of their outposts when freeing them and then they organized attacks. It's been a while since I watched TFA.
Last I recall none of those missions were sanctioned.You sure those were off the books missions? During the montage of taking the Hydra weapons bases out, the kept flashing/panning to their war room where Peggy and multiple other military ppl were taking taking those outpost off the map once taken. Peggy was technically Cap's superior.
