The heck it ain’t
secretly made him a super soldier, made him an assassin, locked him in solitary for 20 for doing his job, lied to him about his wife and her death, continued experimenting on him and torturing him, and then he gets disappeared
How does giving him a statue tucked behind the huge capt america room make amends for ANY of that much less all?
You do realize the statue/memorial is only a part of this overall story, right? And to basically ignore Isaiah's reaction seems to totally disrespect Sam's efforts at beginning to make this right. It feels like you're calling the whole scene worthless. Both Sam and Isaiah thought this was meaningful.
This isn't supposed to make amends. This is supposed to begin rewriting the the story for Isaiah. The amends are coming in the form of Sam becoming Captain America and paving a new road for himself and Isaiah. Sam believes in what he's doing and he also is trying to include Isaiah in that transformative process. It's not all going to happen overnight. I mean, since you seem to hate how this ended, how would you write it then?
Edit: I'd also add that Isaiah is no longer invisible (disappeared) if he doesn't want to be. The memorial addresses that. And Sam gave him the choice to come out of the shadows of his despair and broken past. Understandably, Isaiah was reluctant at first. Sam understood that he needed to give Isaiah time to decide how to approach all of these changes. The memorial doesn't fix the past, but it does create an opportunity to open avenues for reconciliation. At the very least, it does recognize his sacrifices. And I think Isaiah is not only fine with that, but he also is appreciative of it.
