Nikki, I'm with you girl on Walker!!

[@blacprophet1153]

I'm in shock! I can't believe that Nikki said they should kill the New Captain America. He has only had two episodes! I already knew that once he had the super serum he was going to take it. Also the best scene is him killing someone. This is the real America! I would also take it of I was going to be the New Captain America and I'm getting my butt kicked. The Lady Security Force from Wakanda is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Steven I agree with your viewpoints today. You guys are great. Can the New Captain America get at least one season before he is removed. It's over for him now but America commits all types of atrocities all the time and the perpetrators go home free with no problems!

Walker is a typical example of someone who has been rewarded for actions he should’ve been sent to therapy for. He’s Bucky if Bucky’s coping mechanism was a power trip driven superiority complex instead of self-isolation. The main difference is the choices the two decided to make, and Walker has consistently proven to take the more aggressive action on default to make himself feel more big and secure in his questionable decisions.

Like the showrunner is giving Walker every chance to be more like Steve and he's going dark side each time.

Amazing story lines in both shows. THAT REALLY HURT everywhere today :'( what a time to be alive folks, privilege.

[@Kylesaystuff]

This is probably by far my favourite storytelling in Marvel like they said, "Back then it was Good Vs Bad, but now it is more complicated". I really like the idea that there's no pure evil or pure kindness, just the conflict. (John Walker) is a Veteran who wants to be good, wish he could save more of his buddy that he lost in Afghanistan, and finally he got a perfect position that he feels like he is finally doing something good. But he doesn't know how to achieve it, he just cannot prove himself. Not only that, he forever loses his best buddy, in the end, making him mad. (The girl) liked the world before the blip because all the hated countries finally opened their border and became one, but everything went to shit after people came back. (Zemo) thinks the girl's intention will cause more harm to the world, which is kinda true and he thinks only eliminating her will end this conflict. Meanwhile, Sam and Bucky are trying to find a peaceful solution, but the world is not that simple anymore...

[@GitaAyuPuspita]

yessss

[@camil3545]

kinda feels like at this point, Power Broker is going to come in as the "Pure Bad" character that most of the others can sorta agree to take down first.

[@Kylesaystuff]

@@camil3545 In the end, this is a TV show. You can't make it entirely like the real world since no one is actually good or bad, and it is a forever debating question even we are still facing nowadays. But at least to show this in a realistic way rather than just “im evil! I want to destroy the world!” blab blah blah is way better

[@char90303]

[@jangojack3629]

I think John Walker is my favourite character in this show as wyatt Russell’s acting was so good And it just shows the pain and emotion that go through him. Even showing that he knows he did some thing wrong

[@baronroaster404]

"They weren't even super soldiers" "No, they were just awesome" Truer words have never been spoken

John Walker is the more realistic representation of Captain America. The shot of the bloody shield at the end symbolizes perfectly the American Empire that was and still is built on blood.

[@zakhm05]

Remember the scientist in the first captain America movie said he didnt want a good soldier to take the serum but a good person. Cap was a good person walker was a good soldier.... Thats the difference

We should remember something Erskine said: people who have always had power don't respect it. That is the very definition of Walker. He's not used to feeling helpless and it's messing with him.

[@samm7390]

If you also notice in the episode with John Walker you kind of see hints of possible post-traumatic stress syndrome going on in him so if that's adding on him trying to be Captain America against every time and taking a serum that is a combination that is not good

I agree with everyone's reaction to Walker, but remember the BOOTS he's trying to fill. How can he be Captain America? How can he live up to that example? That's an unbelievably daunting thing to imagine. He's desperate to fill Cap's boots, and here's a way for him to do it. I feel for him.

[@Dom_510]

I seriously don’t get the people who hate him. Sure he’s making mistakes and is succumbing to the pressure but there’s no reason to hate him

[@STNeish]

And it points out why NO ONE ELSE can be Captain America. It was never about the powers. Steve Rogers was Captain America because he was Steve Rogers. I have to wonder... I haven't seen much of this, I know they had a memorial for Steve Rogers... but was it because he DIED, or was it because he was too old to carry the shield anymore? If the latter... I wonder what he would be thinking about all this... how he'd react to this episode's finale? Also, I'm calling it now... Bucky is going to end up as Cap before this ends.

[@Dom_510]

@@STNeish I’m pretty sure he died. And yeah that plays into what zemo was saying about how there won’t be another Rogers. And I agree that because of that there can’t be another cap but I’m pretty sure it’s sam who is gonna be the new cap. But honestly I think Bucky should be cap. He has a complicated past but being cap might be what he needs to make amends. I know for sure though that we’ll see walker become US Agent in the future

[@NikkiStevenReact]

I feel for him because he had to watch a best friend die and I would appreciate him for his service to the country. That said, unless he was somehow forced into the position, I will not feel for him.

[@GEMINIVice1]

@@STNeish ....this episode showed more why the shield and the mantle of Captain America should be on Sam Sure he doesn’t want it, nor the serum, nor to end up like Isiah Bradley....but after the final shot, with a pissed off replacement Captain America standing like he ready to fight the world 😔 Sam doesn’t need the shield....but the shield sure needs him right now.

RIP Battle Star. Larmar was John Walker's centre / compass and best friend. Seeing him killed like that made John lose his shit. The shield is so heavy a super soldier can't carry it.

[@St3phenking13]

The shield's actually not heavy its just that Steve threw it with pure power.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Steve was chosen because he understood what it meant to be bullied and still was a good person. He wasn't driven by ego or pride. Walker has always been a winner, the best of the best, adored and admired. He isn't humble, he's prideful. He doesn't know how to fail, or consider others and that is going to be his doom.

[@camil3545]

not really, he clearly knows what it means to fail, the way he talks about his own medals isn't with pride but with shame from the things he had to do which get him awarded with them. When he is in private with Lemar, you see he kinda hates himself and doesn't think he is worthy of the role which is why he ends up overcompensating in trying to answer the expectations placed on him.

[@myerixon9118]

Its hillarious that Nikki thought that Zimos singing was creapy because he sang a popular nursery song that i grew up with here in Sweden but it is creapy in english so i do agree 🙂😂

[@muninntog142]

It’s a very common nursery rhyme in America as well. The man just sang it creepily

[@ManofSteel4889]

No on is really acknowledging the unresolved PTSD that was mentioned throughout this episode with John. That scene where he was talking to Lemar made me feel for him

[@grafffuller3265]

Nikki is SO great. TFatWS - S1:E4 Initial thoughts Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. The balance between being a hero and a tyrant is like a knife's edge. Dr. Erskine kept pointing at Steve Roger's heart. He knew that he was good in the heart. For the most part, Steve's guiding principles helped him navigate this tricky maze of how to do the right thing, especially when you have the power to force your own will on the matter. We open the episode with a great flashback with Bucky and Ayo in Wakanda...as she is removing the power that the trigger words had on Bucky. It was great to see Sebastian Stan showing great range in this scene. Makes his character and arc so interesting. Then, the overhead with Bucky on the black side (with white line) in the cobblestones, as Ayo is on the white side (with the black line) in the cobblestones. Does this represent that Bucky is in the wrong, here and Ayo is in the right? Good question. The idea of enhanced people are supremacists. It is definitely something to think of. There has never been another Steve Rogers (Captain America). Love the levity with Sam talking about his TT (his aunt). You can tell that this episode is going to deal with tough issues, by laying the groundwork with some levity. Also, in this episode you see the purity of Sam's heart. Zemo is like the Pied Piper. He uses his speech to lull people to do his bidding. With the children, he sweetens the pot by using Turkish Delight (like the White Witch in Narnia). Turkish Delights ARE addictive. You just can't eat one. Such a gangster move to tell the little girl that "those men are bad", while whispering in her ear and giving her treats, gaining her affection. Creapy move. He gains leverage by knowing information that Bucky and Sam could not get. Zemo isn't wrong in his beliefs...for most people, but there are exceptions to the rule. Steve Rogers was THAT exception. In line with that, Bucky and Sam are inheritors of that fight for what is right (using the heart). Love Sam saying about the "stupid head tilt thing" and then Zemo straightens his head. Hilarious move. I trust Lamar Hoskins (Battlestar...still hate that name) more than I do John Walker. I don't know why. Still feel Sharon Carter is playing a larger part within this world. Within the episode they keep giving us clues that the Power Broker is a male. The using of the voice of the Aussie man when reading the text message. Referring to him as a him. Sam getting to talk to Karli and get to know her motivations. This interaction is so good. It is interesting that I WANT Karli to turn out good, while I have NO interest to see Fake Cap turn out good. They are or becoming very similar. At least, this is what the writers and director are trying to show us. They are both bent on their own agenda, and seem not to be pushed off their beliefs. Though, in both cases Sam is trying his hardest to shine the light on this situation. Bring perspective. I understand Karli and her desire to fight for the underprivileged, but it will go your way, as long as you are a good person and do not deviate from that path. Blowing up that building with all those people in it (thee dead, # injured). You can NEVER recover from that in some people's eyes. Look at the effects it is having on Bucky, and he wasn't even able to avoid it. He has to live with himself. Seeing the interactions with Ayo and the Dora Melage was great. Worried about what Zemo will do now, now that he is footloose and fancy free. That, too, is going to fall on the backs of Sam and Bucky (unfortunately). For everyone that he hurts, goes on their ledger too. Bucky's first, then Sam's. When Ayo so easily detaches Bucky's arm, what a power move, but also a move that shows Bucky that he isn't perfect. A checks and balances to power. Always have someone there to make you check up and reevaluate the situation, BEFORE you do something stupid. Review overlap... It was good to see Bucky humbled by Ayo, with the swift removing of his arm. Again, power to do anything that you want...without consequences is very aluring. Checks and balances are there to stop us from overstepping our places. So, Fake Cap in the meantime takes the SSS. That will not go well. If it amplifies "who you are", then his rage is going to ruin him. I like how Bucky takes out that one super soldier flagsmasher, then says to him, "Stay there!" It shows that he knows how to moderate his aggression. It doesn't "own" him. I hope that Lamar Hoskins isn't dead. That would be a bummer. I truly feel he was a good man, but jumped up by the mission. BUT, Fake Cap thinking that he was dead...lead him to murder that Flagsmasher super soldier, as he was crying out, "It wasn't me!". That is NOT right, plus...now it will go viral (hence the title of this episode). Seeing Fake Cap, standing over the slain "freedom fighter" with blood dripping from the bottom of his shield. He is tainting the sheild. He was and is unworthy for the task. I was told early in life, if you desire power, you do not deserve power. It is so often the reluctant to accept power, that hold it in reverence and dispense with the justice that that power affords in the most equitable way. I believe that Sam is THAT man. He will rehabilitate that sheild by weilding it in reverence and care. This is the meat of the season...and it has gotten really dark. I really wonder how the next two episode wrap this story up. The penultimate episode usually has a uptick...I really can't see it as being better than this one...please, prove me wrong. Oh, also ... in a reaction I heard that one says (Grace Randolph) that there are five vials are missing. That definitely makes the stakes go higher. Maybe Sam needs the SSS, even though he doesn't want it. Okay...these are my thoughts after the third watch. I will add to it...as I watch other reactors. Thanks.

I guess Wakanda warriors made sure they can control buckys arm because if he goes rogue again he can cause a lot of damage so they did that to be safe

@@mrbillyt But how would he have reacted if he saw Buckys skull cracked open right in front of him by a terrorist? I'm just saying its not really fair to slam Walker.

[@mrbillyt]

@@DavidBennet I honestly think Steve wouldn't have killed anyone in cold blood. The serum does bring out the worst in people but Steve was pure good of heart, why he could wield Thors hammer. As Bucky said, the serum never corrupted him.

[@D_Ella1269]

One of my favorite things about this series is the depth of character amongst our main cast. I know we were expecting ALL the action, and we've gotten it; but even Walker, as much as many of us hate him, isn't a one-note character. He's doubtful of himself (day 1), became desperate for a 'win', & now is rageful & grieving on top of it all (very common, human emotions that he's consistently reacted poorly on). He's someone who, on paper, rates so highly, I believe the US gov't would've given the serum to in a nanosecond if they had it to give. But Erskine's words echo in the series: someone imbued w/a sense of power all along may not be able to handle even more given to them. Marvel's done a good job so far of weaving in past movies and comics, exploring the depths of old & new characters, sparking a helluva lot of debate (which I love) all while cont. to guide us into phase 4. Can't wait for more.

[@emmanuelu]

Nikki says he isn’t trying to reason with anyone. Don’t forget Walker tried and ask back and Sam to work with him so many times and they both basically said fuck you to him. In his mind he is saying “ if you don’t want to work with me then I’m going to do things my way.” Honestly if anything buck and Sam are the assholes for not giving the dude a chance and collaborating to take down terrorirsts.

I understand John Walker was under alot pressure BUT that isn't an excuse for him to not hold his own under tough situations. If things aren't going his way he flips automatically & that's not how you deal with things. Especially using the Captain America title & Shield as if he has the authority to go too far. That ending was brutal. Sam & Bucky need to take back that shield next episode asap.

[@triscuitzreactz]

Game of Thrones really has changed Nikki to a pure savage! Just ready for walkers head to roll before the final scene

[@KeithDCanada]

In Walker's defense... he didn't start the fight with the Wakandans. He questioned their jurisdiction, and patted the one on her shoulder, and they began fighting with lethal force against him... so much so that Bucky had to step in, and finally Sam, but a lot of those attacks against them were potentially lethal blows. I was a little confused at this point when watching the episode... I get it, the Wakandans want Zemo so they can dole out whatever brand of justice they deem correct, but I always took Wakanda for the country that would think before it acts, use violence as a backup option, not go assassin mode when dude just questions the validity of their claim on the prisoner. They were way out of line in this situation.

[@leynaripley5250]

Bucky and Sam have NO obligation to work with Walker. He may be "Cap" but he's not an Avenger. And they have every right to be angry with him - the first time they met is because they were SPYING on Sam with his own tech. And when Sam explained (in a quite reasonable way) how they didn't have to follow rules like he did Walker showed his true colours with the whole "well stay out of my way". And just because Sam USED to be with the VA, again he has no obligation to help Walker, especially from his point of view he wouldn't have seen Walker has issues (he wasn't there when he threatened that Flagsmasher ally etc) until very recently

[@emmanuelu]

@@leynaripley5250 Because he is not an avenger doesn’t mean they can’t work with him. Zemo and Sharon aren’t avengers and yet they worked with them. They just hated the guy from the get go just like everyone watching. And with your arguement, Walker doesn’t have to even listen to Sam and Bucky at all. He has more jurisdiction to work than they do because he is a US agent/soldier. I don’t even know if Sam and Bucky are authorized to be working at all with the whole sokovia accords and things. So in the end of the day, if both sides don’t work together, they can’t expect to achieve their goals smoothly.

[@leynaripley5250]

@@emmanuelu I'm not saying they CAN'T work with him, I said they're under no obligation to if they don't want to. Just like Walker has every right to not listen to Sam and Bucky. And Walker would have more jurisdiction in the US as a US soldier, but not anywhere else in the world (I'm also not sure how it works for Avengers post Sokovia accords but prior they've been shown to work in other countries with free reign and so far it looks like post snap the Accords have been thrown out the window). Like Sam said, as someone who still works for the US government Walker is bound to certain rules that Sam and Bucky aren't. But yes, you're totally right - with the two sides not working together it was inevitable things were gonna clash

[@THESERIOUSKNOB]

Every reaction I've seen I thought everyone would have thought the Shield embedding in the wall would have been sign enough that Walker took the serum, it lingered on that shot for ages lol.

I wish people would appreciate Walker's character a bit more, even though yeah he's definitely off the rails now
