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"

The funny thing is a huge B-plot of Jessica Jones -- the Nuke and Hellcat arc -- revolves around the idea that there was a fairly well-known super-soldier project in the Army for decades starting with the War on Terror But you know how these subplots go

The character Will Simpson on Jessica Jones was based on, Nuke, was even clearly a knockoff of Super-Patriot/US Agent when he first appeared in the comics Like they already did this whole thing with the toxic masculinity roid rage stuff on another show

the "super soldier serum" has this whole legendary aura about it precisely because it produced captain america, but actually 80% of the reason cap was a legend was steve himself now all these idiots are chasing after "the serum!" because they want another legend

The amended version of Bruce Banner's backstory in The Incredible Hulk is kind of stupid and weak ("He thought it was just a totally benign vaccine against radiation sickness!") so I tend to headcanon that Bruce was, in fact, deliberately trying to recreate the serum

"erskine's lost formula" has in fact been recreated many times, it's just erskine's formula was a crazy dangerous procedure and shooting a dude with a bunch of "vita rays" mostly just kills or hideously mutates him steve just rolled a natural 100 on the random table

I am very attached to the Hulk as a character and how he embodies Erskine's warning that "What is good becomes great, but what is bad becomes worse" -- only with him both things are the same thing (his boundless fucking rage)

I've really been enjoying the Immortal Hulk comic as it's about being mad at God, the core of the human experience
