I get that you're making a comparison between Sharon and Isaiah, but it's a mistake to do so because you're comparing apples and oranges. That and I'm pretty sure the writers never drew that comparison. And again Sharon was invited back. Isaiah could be invited back, but I don't think Isaiah has any interest in that.
I get that he has the dialogue with Sam about not being Malcolm or MLK line. Bit clearly Isaiah has come around about Sam and he's begun to respect that Sam is Captain America. I few more episodes maybe flesges that out some more. There actually was supposed to be more, but may have gotten cut out. The primary characters were the ones who got the most fleshed out arcs.
I don't need actual text or even dialogue to tell that Isaiah is appreciative of the fact that Sam wants to show him the memorial. It's written all over his face. I would have liked more Isaiah in the show. Maybe that would more fully answer how he got there. Do we have to make some assumptions? Sure, but that happens a lot. We just have to go with what we see sometimes.
Maybe he'll get his own show down the road and we all get to see him battle Bucky. I'd be all in on that.
And let's face it, Isaiah probably doesn't care about Sharon's validation or restitution. I think he's past all that. That's clearly not in the show, but if he's come around on Sam, he's probably come around on some other things. And let's remember that Sharon was offered to come back by Sam. He essentially promised she could come back. That had nothing to do Isaiah, and I don't think the comparison is warranted or makes any sense.
a few things - the Sharon thing is my "oh and another thing" it is not my central concern
BUT
i promise you that if the writers have been in a high school creative writing class and beyond that they obsess about this stuff - they would not be in a marvel writing room if they did not have exquisite perspective of how their writing fits
plus the director and editor(s) are certainly thinking about this - the editor is making exactly these choices
and then, of course, it doesn't 'really' matter if it was intended or not - it's on the screen - there are 5-7 story arcs closing this episode, all of them comparable to all others
again, 'if there was more episodes' is what i'm saying - the 'rushed' ending exposed some story concerns/short cuts
also again, Isiah did not need to complete his circle with Sam bc his issue wasn't with Sam - he was Sam 60 years ago...until the govt did him dirty (sam didn't do him dirty) - the govt is really the only entity that can even try to make him whole (or make sure what happened to him doesn't happen again - and not even Sam is naive enough to believe that)
