Warning: SPOILERS for the latest episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are ahead! From the moment it was announced that Wyatt Russell would play John Walker in Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Marvel fans familiar with U. S. Agent were certain the character was headed down a dark path. While Walker doesn’t fully fall into the supervillain category in the comics, he is definitely an anti-hero whose methods are more brutal than Steve Rogers’, so for a lot of people have been waiting for his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart to follow suit. That finally happened in the latest episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Walker ruthlessly murdering someone in public. John Walker was already struggling with being the new Captain America in the previous episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but the events of “The Whole World Is Watching” made things much worse for him. From not getting Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to cooperate with him over their efforts to apprehend Karli Morgenthau, to getting badly beaten by the Dora Milaje of Black Panther fame when they came to haul Zemo back to Wakanda, Walker reached peak insecurity. He only caught one break in the episode: Zemo missed destroying one Super Soldier Serum vial when he got the drop on Karli, and after discovering said vial, Walker later injected himself with the formula. Unfortunately, that good luck was soon offset when Lemar Hoskins, a.k.a. Battlestar, was accidentally killed by Karli during a scuffle between our protagonists and the Flag-Smashers. Overcome by rage, John Walker chased down one of the other Flag-Smashers and bashed him to death with his shield. This horrifying act was filmed by numerous people on their phones, so Walker’s once promising reputation as Captain America has now been tainted, if not completely ruined. While John Walker has wanted to make a positive difference in the world as Captain America, he’s consistently shown an edge in the role and grown increasingly overaggressive, to the point that he literally once yelled at someone “Do you know who I am?” Being humiliated in “The Whole World Is Watching” was the tipping point, and now that he has Super Soldier Serum in his veins, those less-than-stellar qualities will only be enhanced. Remember what Dr. Abraham Erskine told Steve Rogers about his formula in Captain America: The First Avenger:The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows... compassion. Of course, what defines a good man isn’t something that can easily be answered, and even good men and women can fall from grace.
