      Marvel’s current shows aren’t trying to be “morally ambiguous.” They’re trying to be *politically ambiguous*.That’s not at all the same, and please don’t taint the former with the latter It’s clear who the good guys are, with the only q who who isn’t a good guy will switch sides

      Sort of furthermore, think about it like this: very few people are really willing to commit to either writing or reading stories centered on a large number of characters they find to be politically despicable, if that story centers on politics, and if the story feels real

      You can almost always tell when someone who’s of an opposing political faction to the author is being caricatured, whether in extremely mundane ways (Wizard Book Lady inserting digs at what she saw as Tony Blair’s incompetence) or more dramatic (alive Tom Clancy’s Democrats)

      Even when this is done with good intentions and even from someone who is trying to portray someone not all that far off from them, it usually goes wrong

      Like, Tom Clancy’s “gay Democratic congressman who can sometimes be worked with” is honestly about as understandable and relatable as, say, the Flag Smashers, even though I’m fairly sure Clancy was far further from even a centrist Democrat than Marvel’s writers from the Smashers

      John Walker is clearly meant to be a conservative American veteran, but Marvel’s writers, being pretty plainly center to center left, are too far from him to *really* write him convincingly

      I don't read him as that at all. I don't see him as having any particular political leanings for a reason. The entire point of the show is moral ambiguity. His issues have nothing to do with his politics, but with toxic masculinity and how the military has broken him.

      Okay but realistically someone with his background has like a 70-80% chance of being a lifelong Republican voter

          Sure. Maybe. But that's people reading into what isn't there on the screen or in the writing. He's not broken because of his politics, he's broken because of toxic masculinity and the military-industrial complex. They're deliberately not touching upon his politics for a reason.
