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

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

i mean there's that little aside early on sam: you ever throw yourself on a grenade? walker: yeah, several times actually. you see i've got this reinforced helmet-- like he thinks the point is about strength and victory the point is that cap was willing to die, instantly

and walker comes back to this over and over "it must be so easy with that serum in your veins" "they weren't even super soldiers" as if the thing that made steve captain america was his strength first and foremost

When Steve signed up he fully expected that the only contribution he could ever possibly make to the war effort against the Nazis was being shot dead almost instantly Taking the bullet so someone more physically capable could advance up the field

And he still did it He *fought* to get the chance to do it Because in a world with Hitler in it it's better to die as cannon fodder than to do nothing

Anyway Walker kind of embodies the sickness in the American spirit and self-image that comes from being a hegemonic empire You're so spiritually impoverished you're incapable of understanding that "the good guys", "the winners", and "us" might not be universally synonymous
