I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SAM AND BUCKY SHOW but I have too many thoughts and I can't really organize them well at the moment. So let's ONLY talk about John Walker, right now.

John Walker knows, in his heart of hearts, he was wrong. We know that, and we see that with his confrontation with Sam and Bucky.

But he has made his identity, Captain America. And after he took the serum, which enhances everything including his imbalance? HE...IS...Captain America. And he goes sideways when Sam tells him to hand over the shield "You almost got me"

John Walker is America's Cop. Don't you know who I am?! He demands as he muscles his way into a computer cafe that hid Flag Smashers. Yeah. We know EXACTLY who you are. Cop.

He doesn't see the shield as America's DEFENSE. A shield defends and protects. He sees it as a badge, authority. Respect. DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?pic.twitter.com/FWTOenL1xm

He tells the Dora Milaje they have no jurisdiction here. Where? Not America. He's not in fucking America. They're in LATVIA. Or wherever. Who the fuck is he?! He's CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA THAT IS WHO.pic.twitter.com/xuWfl0SY6M

Steve Rogers is the America we want to be, our ideals...our values. John Walker is the America we are. Violent. Arrogant. Self righteous. DON'T YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE?!

We didn't choose him. We didn't choose Steve either, not really. Steve rose. As Sam Wilson will rise. And ...be the America we want to be, and need to be if we're to survive. This? This is our legacy now we must overcome.pic.twitter.com/5zpDrH49TG

And then we see John, steeped in his lies. That man didn't kill Lamar. He tried that lie with Sam and Bucky. They told him. THEY WERE THERE. Lamar was killed by Karli. Karli killed him after he threw himself on her...TO SAVE JOHN. Who didn't NEED saving because, serum.

John's lies, killed Lamar. John's choices, many of his choices, killed Lamar. John Walker will take NO responsibility for any of this. He even screams at the hearing where he's being swept under the rug, 'YOU MADE ME' Did they John? Did they? In part, but only in part.

John MUST believe the lie that the man he killed ...killed Lamar, because ...he's not a MURDERER He's Captain America, in his mind. And...in the minds of more than a few people. John Walker is a cop. It doesn't matter WHO John Walker is, he has a shield and you better obey.

Well he was no angel, he should've listened. He had a gun. He was the murderer (but it's on 4k, his hands were up, he was pleading, he was running from YOU) In our reality our John Walker killed a child and got a presidential pardon for it.

When we see John Walker in full crazy town mode MAKING HIS OWN JANKY ASS COSPLAY SHIELD What is it tho? Why's he putting his medals on it? What does THAT symbolize? This is my authority? This is my proof of sacrifice? This is my identity? Is it a condemnation?

Whatever ELSE it is John Walker is a cop. And this is his badge of authority and identity. And he believes he is RIGHT goddammit.
