The tweet left several Captain America fans heartbroken. “I see what you’re saying, Chris; but Sam Wilson, as awesome as he is, cannot replace Steve Rogers. He can only succeed him. No one can fill Steve’s shoes. And no one can replace YOU as Steve Rogers,” one of the fans wrote. Another social media user tweeted, “I’m a Steve Rogers fan till the end.. but Steve has passed the shield to Sam! As much as we miss Steve Rogers as Cap, it’s not going to change the fact that Sam Wilson is Captain America now!”

Well by title, but even if it is Sam or even Bucky it doesn’t matter, because Cap is Steve Rogers.
I like Sam and he deserves to hold the title, but Cap is Steve.
Just like Robin could never truly be Batman, Because Batman is Bruce Wayne. Bruce and Steve are really the persona.— ☮ Boris 2️⃣8️⃣ (@BorisY28) July 9, 2022
