what's funny is I GET why the Gov would want a Cap as like a Mascot to do the goodwill tour he's doing in episode 2, but why would you ever want this normal non-powered guy running operations against super soldiers and shit?

Yeah - why would you want your mascot to do very dangerous missions at all! Even without the super serum stuff, they were outnumbered and trying to fight on a moving truck.

And it's a secret mission, so it's not even like they're getting footage.

They tried to handwave how "normal" Walker was pre-serum, they have the whole thing about how he's such an accomplished soldier that MIT scientists wanted to study his body because he's the absolute peak of human performance etc

I genuinely thought they were gonna reveal they'd already given him a proto-version of the serum and the flagsmashers were a group they'd been experimenting on like Isaiah Bradley who'd escaped and gone rebel

I thought Walker had already taken the serum and that he had taken a second dosage of the serum during the flagsmasher assault scene

Nah lol the Army doesn't have the serum If nothing else this show is really owning the Pentagon, portraying them as a bunch of thumb-up-their-ass losers who haven't actually invented anything in generations and are just cannibalizing their old greatest hits

They were sitting on the idea of bringing back Captain America because they had literally no gimmick for the "new Cap" to roll out with other than a stupid patriotic costume Until Sam gave them Steve's shield back and they were like "THERE we go"

It really feels like they're saying all the brass and their pet scientists are either evil and incompetent and in the past few decades the evil competent ones have been rapidly peeling off to the private sector

I feel like there's a much better show lurking under the surface ABOUT what Walker was talking about, the dehumanization demanded by this faceless council of men, the way they hollowed him out into their perfect little tin soldier

If this show were 8 or 10 episodes instead of 6, they could have time to like, parallel this with what happened to Bucky as the Winter Soldier, and stuff. If only.
