Actually, if you listen to all the words, nothing in the dialogue of the episode says Steve Rogers died. Sam said he's "gone", and that he "represented" the best in all of us, which doesn't necessarily mean death, though it could. The conspiracy theory of him being "in a secret base on the moon looking down over us" doesn't even indicate if the public knows if he's alive or dead. He could be retried, in hiding, on the moon, all the the above! lol Personally I think it would be cool if he was up in space with Nick Fury as an adviser to him in some capacity like how we saw Nick at the end of Spider-man: Far From Home. He may be dead and maybe some of us are just in denial, but I can tell Marvel doesn't want to confirm that for us yet, so even if he's only able to live for just few more years, hope endures.

The name of the "new Captain America" is John Walker aka US Agent, who is played by Wyatt Russell, Kurt Russell's son.

Bucky did know that it was his son. He has the old man's name on the list. Taking care of Yori is his way of making amends for killing his son, because he doesn't have the courage to tell him the truth yet. The shrine was what made him change his mind. If he wouldn't have seen it he probably would have told him the truth. I feel so sorry for Bucky. His sarcasm is a fassade to deal with his PTSD and I read in the comments on YouTube that soldiers or people with PTSD in general have a problem with therapists writing something down during their conversation. So, Bucky isn't just joking around when he makes the comments about her notebook.

YES ! I was waiting for this! 💙

Bucky seemed to already know that he killed his son. We know that he remembers everyone that he has killed when he was under Hydra's control, thanks to what Bucky said to Tony during their fight in Civil War. its seems that part of his pardon is to make amends with both his perpetrators and victims, and to attend therapy for his PTSD

I like the focus in F&WS on hyper-capable heroes still having to deal with and, it seems, failing to deal with, everyday stuff. And not just the heroes, but those closest to them and people they randomly cross paths with during the course of their daily heroics. Banking rule changes in the wake of the Blip seems entirely in keeping with that broader sense of impact. I recall talk in Marvel books about the need for businesses and the like to take out superhuman insurance (particularly in New York). In the late 80s, Dwayne McDuffie & Ernie Colon created the comic series Damage Control, about a company set up to deal with the aftermath of superhuman battles. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, this became joint Stark-govt agency, the Dept of Damage Control, which, impacts again, manages push Michael Keaton out of legitimate business and into the black market.

Captain America, from the government's perspective, was always supposed to be a propaganda tool. One thing they really didn't like about him was that he thought for himself and would go his own way when he thought what he was asked to do was wrong. Also, since they obviously didn't tell Sam their plan, you know they aren't doing something he'd like. From the way they talked to him when he handed over the shield, it would appear they had been pressuring him for quite a while to give it to them. I really found it interesting how they said he was America's hero and not the world's too. My guess is there's going to be a super hero arms race destabilizing the world and inside effect is going to be campaigns to discredit the current hero's who won't allow themselves to be blindly controlled. It is just the first episode so there's a good chance I'm way off. It sure was a great episode though. Such great action scenes for a non movie production.

In case you didn't notice, the baddie in this episode is the same acrobatic fighter that Captain America had to fight in the beginning of Winter Soldier. And yeah, I think the reason Bucky hangs out with Yori is because he is trying to make amends for killing his son. But he hasn't told him the truth of it yet.
