He doesn't take the super soldier serum until his best friend all but tells him "you should take it." He desperately - DESPERATELY - wants to be a true hero. The problem is that he really just isn't good enough. That's not his fault; most people aren't Steve Rogers.

On some level he knows this. But he needs to believe he can be this great hero, because he's dealing with mountains of guilt from what he's done. Every bad thing he did - much of which wasn't even his choice - can be justified if he can prove he really should be Captain America.

Definitely the best part of the series, but overall I am two thumbs down. So much clunky exposition and nonsensical story beats.

Agreed. The two protagonists hardly contribute to the plot! Last episode was about them fixing up a boat!

It's clear they left a lot on the floor just due to circumstances with how and why production got delayed, but they made the most of it where they could
