Yeah no if that serum was not going straight to people with disabilities who actually needed it, I’d destroy it the same way in a second, and I find it hard to judge Zemo’s strategy for dealing with researchers into it either Bioengineering to “improve” people scares me

This is why I feel like the key to Cap working at all is that he started out weak, small, and bullied, and what he got out of that experience was not a desire for revenge or power, but a deep need to protect people from bullies

The character works almost entirely because of one line in the first movie. "I don't want to kill anyone."pic.twitter.com/9mDGpCMyaM

so in CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDER, when cap comes to sam's door and asks for help, sam just says "Captain America says my country needs me. I'm in." and the issue, of course, in TFATWS is that none of the prospective captain americas can do that.

You can see the anger just building up and building up inside of John Walker that despite how hard he's worked and everything he's achieved, and how on the surface he is an immensely popular beloved celebrity... he's still not Steve

And there's nothing he can do to "earn" being Steve or make people treat him the way they did Steve, because he just is not Steve And despite his little speech explicitly denying it, this bothers him *immensely*

(This is *why* he isn't Steve, of course, because Steve would never give a moment's thought to this stupid ego bullshit while there are lives to be saved)

I do think Walker is one of the stronger parts of the story. I've actually become conviced that making him less of a jingoistic jagoff was the correct way to go.

He starts off playing the role of the New Captain America as well as you could reasonably expect someone to But he is playing a role, and if you knew the real Steve you can tell

(He pushes it too far when he says that he feels like he knew Steve and that he and Steve are brothers in spirit just from reading about him and shit That was when he permanently moved onto Bucky's shitlist)
