The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is an incredible show. It gets better and better with each episode. The interactions with Sam, Bucky and Zemo are interesting to watch and I find John Walker fascinating. Overall this show is pretty awesome.
John Walker ( new Captain America) using the shield to kill is the exact parallel of Steve Rogers (original Captain America) who was in the same position in Civil War but didn’t actually harm Tony Stark (Iron Man).
I was blown away! We see Ayo who came for Zemo, we see Karli who wants to do what's right even though she killed people, and John Walker as the new Captain America is a douche as always, this episode was very solid & bloody!
Getting to that final scene with John Walker made me incredibly uncomfortable. I’m not really affected by gore or violence in TV & films, but I just found it really stomach churning.
He didn't give a fuck that everyone was watching him kill brutally a man.
John Walker is becoming a very very dangerous man.
It’s just as entertaining, emotional and complex as WandaVision is but different too.
So Zemo organized a second civil war between the Dora Milaje, John Walker, and Sam & Bucky to escape captivity? Classic Zemo.
Lmao. I love how for a few minutes he just stood there. And then he decided to leave. And it was so calm.
"You've got this, right? You guys are cool? I'll just -- yeah."
Best part is that it wasn’t even his plan. He just went “fuck this, I’m out.” and he’s probably hiding in a cupboard somewhere right now.
Zemo reminds me of Loki and I love him for that.
But what we really need to discuss is how good Wyatt Russell's performance as John Walker is. I haven't seen a character this hated in a long time, and it all comes down to how good his performance is. So damn good. His performance as John Walker, the new Captain America, is hated by everyone.
John Walker is the personification of what the USA pretend to be vs who they really are.
Wyatt Russell’s performance as John Walker is absolutely phenomenal, the ending of that episode was so perfectly written and acted.
He is a perfect counter to everything that Steve Rogers stood for and that makes him a really compelling secondary antagonist.
He was a joke at first but now we're legit scared of John Walker.
A lot of this John Walker hate turning into “steve is the only cap” “Steve is irreplaceable” “only Steve can carry the shield” and it feels like it’s not just Walker some people are rejecting. Sam could become a victim as well. Giving up the shield was definitely a wrong decision.
I find it interesting that when the comics have a new version of an existing hero there is a lot of internet pushback when it's a black/gay/female version of the character and here it's a white guy replacing a white guy and the world is losing it's mind.
He’s just so universally hateable lmao. But everyone knows he’s not seriously the new cap but just a temporary setback, so I think there might still be some of that pushback lurking under the surface.
How did John Walker pass a psych eval. That dude is a NUT CASE. I think its down to two reasons:
1. I know from personal experience some major things can go easily missed during a eval
2. The serum enhances everything about a person both physically and emotionally so something small that may have been missed in a eval would have been bigger
HE TAINTED THE SHIELD WITH THE BLOOD OF WHO USED TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA’S FAN. TSSS YOU DONT DESERVE THE SHIELD, JOHN WALKER.
Also look at that maniac. Clearly smiling after what he just did to that man.
When you spend over 70 years building up the Captain America legacy and John Walker ruins it in 7 seconds.
Steve can kill Tony, but he never let his anger take over no matter how badly hurt Bucky was. But John Walker brutally killed Nico.
Like what Zemo said "There has never been another Steve Rogers".....
Out of all of the movies with Steve Rogers in it, I have never seen his shield covered in blood. John Walker is making me very much sick.
John Walker used the shield to take off someone’s head? call that de-CAP-itation.
Don’t forget that John Walker killing an unarmed, unresisting person is a metaphor for police brutality.
John Walker is quite literally a war criminal which is honestly the best representation of the United States so he really is living up to the idea of Captain America
Steve was always too good for the title.
The whole point of John Walker is that his actions are the opposite of the Captain America ideology and it will come to the point where it’s indefensible. Flaws in a character make them so much more compelling. It was always meant to reinforce why Sam should have the shield.
The fact that John Walker would rather spill blood than talk to Karli shows us that he's not fit to be the new Captain America.
I really love what they’re doing with John Walker. Wyatt is killing it and I really hope that they keep him around for a while after TFATWS.
I really hope after or during TFATWS that Jhon makes his own shield(steals vibranium) and costume and becomes a recurring villain for Sam and or Bucky. With his own Identity and twisted ideology.
I'm assuming he'll come back in The Thunderbolts. He's too solid of an actor to throw away after this. Especially with the layers they're building with his character. He's crushing it out there. Shame about the death threats. That sucks.
I am hoping for a government sanctioned Dark Avengers. People with similar power sets as the main avengers. Since half are dead or missing. Or maybe call them the Ultimates. Red Hulk, Wyatt Cap, someone in an Ironman armor, white widow or madam masque, a resurrected Kilmonger. But Thunderbolts is strictly Zemo's team to start. Which it'd be great for the Thunderbolts to take down the Dark Avengers.
Whenever you feel stupid, just remember that John Walker thought he had a chance against the Dora Milaje.
"The Dora Milaje have jurisdiction wherever the Dora Milaje find themselves to be" and then proceeding to hand John Walker’s ass to him is extremely pleasing to me.
The Dora Milaje giving everything TFATWS fans want by finally kicking John Walker's ass. I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!
John Walker was seriously getting his ass whooped like this and Bucky said 'looking strong John" Lol!
Yeah sex is good but have you tried watching John Walker get his ass kicked by the Dora Milaje?
So after that episode, I think we can all say that John Walker’s going places. not heaven, but places.
I am so glad this series is hitting all the right notes of a superhero TV show.
