fair points. speculating but following steve in CW was because he's a Cap fanboy and the antagonism to bucky is jealousybut srsly now that I think of it the show pretty much revolved around him giving up the shield and the consequences, facing up to his own life/reality, society, and then having Bucky on his back about it. 100% Sam don't know why he gave it up either.
I mean the more I think about it..
the show shoulda been Sam trying to help bucky.. AND then the government pulling the BS move of naming a new captain america trying to get some sort of PR win
sam has the shield but he’s seeing how the government and this random dude are tarnishing the legacy of his friend.. the same friend who asked him to take the role.. but he’s trying wrestle with all of that.. and icing on the cake bucky introduces him to the black guy who was previously captain America
and then you just be realistic with it, he’s not like Peter who can just call up happy when he needs something new.. so he runs out of weapons and is forced to use the shield and then the fallout happens with the dumb people questioning why there’s this black guy with the shield
