You absolute legend
the crossover nobody expected
This absolute legend watches the other legend, what a good day
It is over 9000!
“Have you ever fought for anything bigger than yourself?”
Bucky: “World War 2 vet, fought Thanos twice, lived through the Great Depression,
had my mind screwed with for decades, my body mutilated, all my family and friends are dead... nope, don’t know the first thing about that. But keep telling me how you are.”
Edit: This comment has absolutely nothing to do with Sam becoming (spoilers) the next Captain America. The comment is about how much arrogance a young character has to have in order to lecture an older character on sacrifice. (spoilers)
Lmao I literally shouted, "He was literally there fighting Thanos' army in Infinity War!!!" at the screen
Woah 😳
Bucky needs to check his privilege and do better.
I expected Bucky to mention that he only _fought to save the entire universe._ But these writers made sure not to mention that so they could force the stupid message.

*The female ginger villain killing and blowing up innocent people:* this is fine, we are not terrorists
*Walker:* * kills a terrorist *
*The female ginger villain:* how could they do this
It’s the modern day activist’s method of morality contortion. “When you do it, it’s unforgivably awful. When WE do it, it’s a righteous struggle.”
I wish I was kidding.
The show was awful, preachy, and nonsensical. So yeah, a Disney show. Just WAIT and see what they do with mutants.
@@DemoDick1 Well, we COULD wait to see that, or we could not bother and forego the impending social "justice" migraine.
This is why I cheered when Sharon shot the shit out of her. 😂

MauLer good to see you mate
Toxic Brood rises
Lol, same.
Mauler you are greatness. Your star wars reviews are brilliant
Pretty much, Long Man. Pretty much...
Can we just appreciate how Zemo is the only villain to have survived and succeed twice in his plans in the MCU? Like this pretty much solidifies him as one of the most intelligent and strategic characters ever
Anti hero not villain
@@glenmcl ahhh....I don't know about that he is still a cold blooded murderer and also if you have seen Civil war deleted scenes dude is pretty evil it's just that we can see where he is coming from
He did blew up UN hearing remember alot of innocent people died
The smug calculated attitude of zemo is just brilliant. Doesn't have the super strength or edited DNA and could be killed by any one of the Avengers but still manages to continually out do them with his wit and cunning.
Daniel Brühl did an amazing job portraying the good Baron.
@@glenmcl He literally blew up a building full of inmocent people to frame another guy.

The funny thing about the show is Baron Zemo has the best plan, is honest about it, and pursues it single-mindedly. He believes Super Soldiers are a threat to humanity, and he wants them gone, period. Shield should hire him. Zemo gets things done.
Yes he did he is the best character written in this show👌👌👌 absolutely phenomenal

Cuz he's a straight white male n when fighting against the bald black chicks from wakanda, it'd be racist for him to win
Political ideology became very strong in marvel after endgame. A show like this that has winter soldier in it should be literally the greatest show of all time. Lots of thriller action n spy shit

Bro.. only if. 🤣
Funny that John kills 1 guy in heat of the moment in anger and he is called villain by fandom and writers, but Karli kills a bunch of innocent people and "she is just a kid".
Not to mention that 1 guy is a super soldier terrorist who helped killing John’s friend too
Black wahman cannot be wrong
They made me really sympathize with John Walker, he did everything right and yet was fucked over by the government, really made me root for him. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that the writers did not intend that
That was the point of his character, The whole point of his character was to be the "hated" guy, but they made it so that his character was realistic like if we were him we would do the same selfish things as he did. (Idk if that makes sense or not)
They wanted to make it so that Walker always abided by the government but in the end was screwed over by the government, like if he killed that flag smasher somewhere else the government wouldn't have bated an eye, and Steve as the one who fought the government, because Steve spent 2-3 movies doing that.
Long story short government bad
He’s a straight white male in a modern disney project. Ofc we weren’t meant to like him lol
@@alosim1541 what? Did you watch the show? In the end you’re supposed to like him. He was written to do the right thing in the end. That wasn’t unintentional.
John Walker was a d*ckhead though. He messed everything up when Sam was trying to talk Karli down, and he stole super soldier serum and used it on himself, which made him a hotheaded douchebag.
Lmao, it's "the new guy" meme all over again.

I howled with laughter when his nephews called him "Uncle Sam."
@@tedmureithi6483 yeah not to mention he's was on the run before he got snapped and wasn't even falcon for that long before
He also almost didn't exist in any of the other movies
Context obviously means nothing to you
“His sister is mad he wasn’t around to help out with the family business, because he got erased from existence for 5 years. It’s just any excuse with this guy.”
That made me almost choke on my coffee laughing. 🤣
I still don't understand how Bucky didn't absolutely wreck the flag smasher because like if you dose up a tiny ginger girl with the same thing the big 100+ year old combat veteran with a metal arm has in him than it's still a tiny ginger girl against a 100+ year old combat veteran with a metal arm.
I do not get it either. He has super strength and speed, and his arm made out of vibranium but he still struggles like hell
The new serum is more potent than what Bucky got, the scientist specifically says he made it so it wasn't obvious (big muscles). Then you have the fact that Bucky isn't the Winter Soldier, he's a man with morals that probably didn't want to fight a little girl. Also the WS was only brought out of cryo to do missions, so he wasn't literally fighting for 70+ years. The show has many things to gripe about but I keep seeing this particular reason and thinking, 'did you even watch it'?
He needed someone as strong as SPIDERMAN to stop his metal arm strike in the films! What crap writing.
@@RatchildUK Except everything they do and what Bucky HAS done contradicts that. Shoot, even the Drinker points it out.
@@jamestoney6599 The serum they got IS Spiderman strength........Read the comics.
Not gonna lie. I laughed when Karli died. All I could think was:
"The monologues, they're finally over!"
"y'know what she does?"
"She begins monologuing."
"SHE BEGINS MONOLOGUING!"
All i ever heard from her monologues was "me sad and is whamen and had bad childhood therefore me allowed to kill innocents" such a fkn hypocrite of a character.
Haha, same here, at least we won't have to sit through another rambling monologue! 😂🤣
Thanks for spoiling, very nice of you
Honestly between this and her appearance in Solo I think Disney should stop using her.

That’s the Flag Smashers for ya. Terrorists are essentially just glorified bullies.
And they’re local

I bet youve never dealt with a terrorist in real life... but you throw around comparisons using them. Interesting and disrespectful.

My wife and I watched the first two episodes, I hoped after the first episode it would improve - but it went from bad to worse. Glad we didn't waste any more time on it.
I wish he'd retire. I'd never have to see another shitty video in my recommended or see his dumbass fans whining about star wars or social justice warriors or whatever. Honestly should have retired in 2017, the last time any of this was relevant
@@cm9241 and you're here. Thank you for being our audience, DA...
Baron Zemo was probably the most evil villain I have ever seen on film. He killed all the flag smashers, saved Bucky and Sam during the serum raid, was strategic and philosophical towards solving his problems against the terrorists (sorry, activists), and destroyed the rest of the super soldier serum so no other force of evil could use it to rise into power. These are the true acts of a heinous and despicable human being.
Did you forget the part where he's canonically a nazi or
But don't worry, he's trying to strip himself of his dark past and reject his Nazi heritage.
@@narniadici1976 His MCU counterpart is different though
@@toostronk2088 i mean his MCU counterpart did a bomb a UN meeting though and also re-enabled the winter soldier who I believe killed a few people before being defeated again.
They were playing him more as a anti-hero than a villain tbh.
Disney gave us in Paul Walker a heroic soldier, clearly struggling with PTSD, who is afraid that he won't be able to measure up with Steve Rogers. Then they expect us to hate him.
His name is John Walker, but other than that, you're 100% right.
Damn Paul walker came back from the dead to be captain America? Blasphemy!!
because Disney hates him, and people like him
But he is white!!!! How dare you not hate him?
@@JuanAntonioGarciaHeredia Disney's become toxic.
I love how this show tries to justify literal terrorism by saying that the government should magically double the worlds resources.
You do know that George Washington was a terrorist too, right?
They just gotta do better man.
It's not that the government should double the world's resources. it's that the government (which regulates and facilitates the economic systems we participate in) does such a poor job at allocating resources that people would have more than double what they have now if it was just a smidgen more responsible
That's a malthusian delusion. At this point in our modern age we have figured out how to effectively harvest all of the world's resources its the ineffective distribution of those resources that is the main problem. Scarcity hasn't been an issue since before the industrial revolution.
@@codyp.1184 Well it might be an issue now
Its great when the lead flag smasher whats her face, tells John Walker that his dead friend didn't matter, not to her and her fight. She literally de values a man because he is irrelevant to her needs, or her goals, THE EXACT THING that she is pissed about happening to her and her people. Deep character.
It's called descending into fanaticism, character evolution in a dark way.
@@ShadowSonic2 cringe
@@eatass1457 Yeah, it's cringe seeing how many don't understand the stuff the show was saying.
She stated a similar line before hand when describing killing in a conversation with Sam I think, I’m pretty sure it was about the threats to Sams family. It sounds like it was something written for it to come out wrong purposely to add fuel to the fire for Walker. Based off earlier context I think she just wanted to say the killing was unintentional and that it’s pointless to kill someone that she feels dosent deserve it because they aren’t necessarily a threat to her cause.
@@ShadowSonic2 so I haven't seen the show but I think the difference for if it's cringe or not to have that character contradict their own beliefs and spiral into fanaticism or if it's good writing depends on how the characters actions are framed in the narrative. Does the writing of the show indicate that this negative character arc was intentional in order to say something or are the writers heads so far up their own arises they didn't realise what they were doing.
I think the Drinker just created an entirely new level of sarcasm.
It was genius! Like I knew it was sarcasm, but his presentation was so well done.
Hes on a whole other level lol
Sarchasm? Charchasm? Super-sarchasm?
12D sarcasm...
He clearly doesn’t like the show
I like how Sam at the end when he talks to the senator he straight up ignores the him when he said
“What about the people who came back where do we put them?”
Then Sam proceeded to strawman him
And I don't see any good politician allowing that to happen. I guess the MCU world is bit simpler than ours.
Sam had one good line in that speech.
Sam says, "Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about, and that's a GOOD thing!" He can't come up with an alternative solution, so he's like, "Uh...Do better or something." Then walks away. Somehow his ignorant and nonsensical speech successfully forces the political leaders to do what he wants.
Doesn't the future of the MCU look bright?
To me, that was the point where Sam proved that he was unworthy of the name Captain America.
#RetireTheShield
@Calmgoodfire You need to do better!
Walker was unironicly my favorite character of the show. My mom and sister hated him. Of course when I ask.
“Why do you hate him?”
They respond with.
“Because he’s not Steve.”
Honestly, I had the same reaction until I knew more about him. In the beginning, it's like why replace Steve with this random dude we don't know and he didn't deserve it. But after watching a few more episodes, I related a lot to him where he had to meet high expectations that was placed upon him by other people. That and he was just a well written character.
That's pretty legitimate though, cuz who could replace Steve Rogers Capatin America?
@@natperXD they had to replace steve with some random dude because sam wilson turned it down
@@williamwoolf8072 I know, I was just saying that I didn't like him at first since he came out of nowhere. But as the show progressed, I started to like him more and more.
@@natperXD well to be fair, the writing for this was terrible so you couldn't help but be misdirected
I love how it’s Bucky who has the white guilt storyline like yea Bucky you fought in WW2, were captured, tortured and brainwashed into slavery and used a weapon to kill innocents but jeez Bucky don’t you know how hard it is to be black in America smh
The irony that Bucky knows more about being a slave than most people 🤣🤣
Not white guilt, he had obliviousness to the concept that maybe the American people wouldn't accept Sam.
@@ShadowSonic2 and that makes him a bad person? when this guy fucking surviver WWII??
@@ShadowSonic2 why do you always claim someone with a different opinion as yours is a "snowflake"? And I don't think it's because "white man say sorry to black man, me no like" kinda of shit. Their pointing out the hypocrisies of trying to play the victim when Bucky went through so much being a slave and a veteran with no thought of this own, y'know? Like, "why are you yelling at HIM? y'know what this man went through"?
@@nanemmi_4966 That's the thing, wuth everything he went through Bucky should have understood beforehand the burden Sam was under but he didn't. He realized this and owned up. Makes him more human.

The show: *wants you to sympathize with the terrorist group*
Me: *sympathize rather with Zemo and Walker cuz they get stuff done than either the two protagonists and the terrorists*
Fuck that. I'm not sympathizing with terrorists, never have, never will. Unlike half of America, I fucking get that concept that we used to all agree with.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sees how crazy this show was trying to make us agree with the terrorists killing innocent people.

@@ShawnofSteel874 After the first episode I forgot what the flag smashers were fighting for ... I thought they were trying to get the refugees back into their countries? But isn't that the exact opposite of what they set out to do? I'm so confused by their "plan".
@@ShawnofSteel874 I think I'm done with it, too. It's slid into moral relativism, which was never what it was about in the old days. I have heard people talk about how "Thanos did nothing wrong", but let's say the Blip did happen and their families were missing? Would they be so sympathetic to him? I saw the Flag Smashers as Antifa and Captain America as America personified. The Flag Smashers don't believe in old traditions like borders or governments. Karli even says so. The thing is, we don't see China's or Russia's representatives or their feelings about resettlement. Nope, in typical Hollywood fashion, America is the Big Bad Bully, embodied in the new, mean, Captain America John Walker. If Steve Rogers was the good cop, he's the bad cop. I had a feeling wokism would be rearing it's ugly head the first episode, but unfortunately I stuck with it. I shouldn't have!

He doesn't need to say more. The point was "Look what your bullheaded approach did, it created resistance. You want more resistance, keep doing it your way. You want people to stop resisting, stop thinking they're the enemy just because they disagree with you."
But certain audience members don't like see a black guy talk that way.

@@matthiasthulman4058 Yes, and it's gotta start with the people who provoked the other side to begin with.
@@ShadowSonic2 but why? You're just assuming the other side will concede and agree that your side is correct. That's not how anything works lol

Not even that. They're freaking CHILDREN.
The writers just straight up disrespecting these characters just cuz of their race n gender
The scene in episode 6 where Bucky was on the phone with Karli and she was on about fighting for a cause bigger than herself had my eyes rolling. I wish Bucky had said something along the lines of "Are you really going to talk about fighting for a bigger cause with a world war 2 veteran?"
My thoughts exactly!
@Meta Man I am happy for you (sincerely). Overall I enjoyed the show as well. However the show does have its faults and they deserve to be highlighted.
@Meta Man I’m with OP. I really enjoyed TFATWS, especially watching how Bucky and Sam’s reluctant partnership turns into true friendship. It has such a warm, fuzzy ending for the two of them, celebrating with Sam’s family. I loved the show, my main issue was Karli.
Shows how narrow-minded Carly had become to her own cause
She was just stalling him so they could get the hostages away. That was the only purpose of that phone call. She even said thanks and Sharon yelled at Bucky for failing to do the one job he was supposed to do.

When John chose to throw the cosplayer shield and helped the hostages, in a way giving up on wanting to be captain America, that was ironically the most captain America thing he's ever done in the show.
The point of John Walker is that he's the anti-Steve but he's still a noble guy. He's an anti-hero. I was so afraid they were going to make him a villain. But yay! He wasn't! Just an antagonist and an ass. lol
Doesn't the show make it seem he's pathetic for even trying that?
It’s almost as if they had competent writer who know that JW wasn’t a bad guy
@@jonbaxter2254 Actually the show doesn't make him pathetic really, just makes him human, let's be real if I'm in his shoes and someone killed my best friend, I'm definitely retaliating, but that's how the world is, they don't judge you based on why you did it they only judge what you did. And you can almost feel sympathy for him because he really did nothing wrong.
And then Sam comes in and steals his heroic moment because he hasn't done enough heroic things since CA:WS
“The character arc in this is so strong it actually became a character circle”. Best line I’ve ever heard
"I'm sorry you feel oppressed." - the guy who spent over half his life a mind-controlled slave
Half a century
He needs to check his white privilege. He has the privilege to grow up poor in depression era NYC. The privilege to have to flight in the most horrific conflict man has ever seen. The privilege to get mind fucked and used as a living weapon over and over. The privilege to get turned into dust while trying to save half of the universe and the privilege to be a broken husk of a man. Haunted by actions that he didn't choose.
I think he was being sarcastic.

Yeah, I was the same way. But then I heard that inspiring speech from Sam. when he said "Do Better" I cried and instantly did better.
"Complaining about a problem without proposing a solution is called whining."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"It is not the Critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Also Roosevelt. It represents Sam quite well.
@@ShadowSonic2 Lets not start a quote war, and I would partially agree. Yes, Sam did try his best for his country and the memory of his mentor (eventually), but, like the drinker pointed out, not much changed after this show. Bucky and same are not too different other than Sam got a costume change. I don't actually even dislike this show, I thought it was fine. But I cannot agree it was even normal Marvel quality, or that it executed the themes well. Sam is the perfect representation of the show. Charming and Nobel, but ultimately somewhat vague, inconsistent, basic, safe, and mostly unchanged.

The real irony is that Zemo was RIGHT. Carly was too far radical to stop her killing and yet Sam continued to try and reason with her which only caused more people to die and be put in harms way. Even at the last moment, she almost killed Sharon and showed know signs of regret.
Writers: 🤭
I just find it amazing that they had zemo. ZEMO! have to explain to falcon that the terrorist was a terrorist. Remember this guy falcon? He caused civil war rebrainwashed bucky, blew up a summit all because of sokovia. Also what is marvels obsession with sokovia? They just keep bringing it back up when it was barely important in the movie it was in. Sokovia just happened to be the local yet we're supposed to believe its important somehow.
@@ralcogaming7674 It's just important in the MCU because it's the moment where people woke up to all the crazy destruction that the Avengers were involved in (and arguably responsible for). It directly lead to the accords being written and the events of Civil War. Not important in itself, but a catalyst for bigger things. Also Zemo is in this show and his family was killed during the events of Sokovia, so...
@@thisisfyne my point is that they're constantly bringing it back up as if it matters such as in falcon and the winter soilder where they tell us sokovia was absorbed by a neighboring country.
Zemo and Walker were the heroes in this story
Not Sharon, at the last moment she was pointing a gun at Falcon himself and was in the process of pulling the trigger when Sharon shot her. And Falcon saw all that, and still did what he did. WTF?

No she actually said "he didn't matter" as in she had no beef with him, no gain from killing him. But whatever the series was still stupid.
My biggest issue with the show is that all of the terrorists could fight, and generally beat some fighters who had YEARS of training, despite they themselves having absolutely no training and only having taken the super soldier serum. It made NO sense.
The best scene was Bucky's flashback, kicking arse as the Winter Soldier.
I'd rather watch 6 episodes of that

They did Bucky so dirty, I mean I know he's not a killing machine anymore but he's still a soldier nonetheless and I'm pretty sure at least his body remembers how to fight and stuff, so how come every time they fought the "activists" poor Bucky always got his ass handed to him, like srly

Sam worked with Vets and never once caught on to how hard the job was on Walker. However he quickly took Karli's side after she burnt some people alive.
@@rhinehard206 There are no supersoldiers to choose from. The US government didnt have a working version of the serum.

Also he kind of held his own against the flagsmashers 1 on 1 even before the serum which is impressive for someone who is not enhanced.
@@cjmk5923 it's clear the show is peddling...the more I think about this show, the more holes I find...also the costume looks dumb. It might be comic book accurate, but on screen, it looks dumb.
I don't understand why people were even calling him a villain. He's a pawn of a corrupt government which he believes in and realizes only too late that there's more responsibility than just "fight the bad guys" as captain America, and rather than being resentful about it, he accepts his failure, fights to redeem himself and reform the defense program.
He hadn't done ANYTHING wrong up until that point but we were somehow supposed to dislike him?
Just love John Walker's plot, don't know how Marvel expected us to hate him
And just look at the reactors! Their reactions were hilarious and cringe at the same time.
I'm pissed on how they completely nerfed Bucky. He got folded every 10 seconds but Sam is able to hang with everybody, including super soldiers and GSP.
Lol this is what happens when politics meets Shitty entertainment. The result is Orgasmic for people that don't know what entertainment is.
Yeah that bothered me. Would have been better if Sam had used his jet pack, wings and shield more defensively, so getting punched by people who can lift ATVs would be more like being "grazed" by their fists and feet. Even getting grazed by one of them would be too much for a normal human.
also, wtf happened to his machine guns? Where was Falcon's uzis? Zemo felt like the only guy with a gun.
Sam didn’t hang with them he didn’t win any of the fights he just used the technology that he had to survive.
Facts, It's like they forgot Bucky went toe to toe with Steve in Winter Soldier, instead it's all "haha metal arm go brrrrr"
John Walker did almost nothing wrong and was a shockingly relatable and sympathetic character. He was easily the best part of the show. And Zemo was cool too, because he just seemed like he was having a great time.
I just wanted it to become a Walker show after Episode 4. Episode 5 was trash and a disgrace to the lore and characters.

john walker becomes anti hero , his character development was dangerously amazing
He was literally my favorite character on the show. Wyatt Russell's acting on that court scene was amazing, and the character had softer moments with his friend that showed he wasn't the evil incarnate that people were treating him as.
What did he do wrong again? Kill someone who was killing civvies? Chase terrorists? Try and destroy super-soldier syrum?
@@jonbaxter2254 well he did kill someone which was surrendering, in the context of the situation i don't blame him but thats kind of a nono to the Geneva convection. You could say he was unarmed but super solider serum would kinda invalidate that id imagine. Its going to be a fun discussion in the future in real life deciding what constitutes "unarmed" when robot limbs become a thing
He feels the most human to me
I have no idea what the writers tried to accomplish in this show. I read COVID messed up with its storylines, but to THAT point? One of the writers created John Wick and Nobody, so we know his skills, but what about the overarching message? What did they try to tell us in the end?
"She's mad that he wasn't around to help with the family's fishing business, because he literally got erased from existence for 5 years. It's just any excuse with this guy, isn't it?" 🤣
Edit: I love how my lazy comment, which is just a quote from the video and not my own words, had lead to people taking it almost personally, and starting a heated argument defending both sides. It's just a joke. Calm down. 🤣
“How dare you be erased without at least warning us? Such a shitty brother. While you were gone, I had to take care of our kids alone and it was hell knowing that their dad disappeared.” Clearly just proves that Sam is the biggest prick out there.

Underrated comment and underrated opinion about this show in general
I found John Walker to be the most likeable character in the whole show. Like, he was actually a person instead of a caricature. Zemo was a close second. Seems like the Marvel villain problem has been solved at least. But how weak is the cast of phase 4 when you’re rooting for the villains...
Well without RDJ or Chris Evans or Scarlett Johanson to carry the whole thing, the rest cannot make you ignore/tolerate the increasingly SJW woke writing.
Zemo and John are more anti heros/villains rather then villains
Common problem in comics since 2000. They focus so much on making villains likeable and relatable that the supposed heroes are unlikable assholes who act like villains. It is why I stopped collecting comics altogether.
The problem is still there, these characters aren't villains

Actually giving real solutions was too much for the writers' brains to process. People who constantly complain never say what can be changed, therefore nothing will. It turns into a pile of complaints that go nowhere. The communication just stops there.
@@ShadowSonic2 You know what freedom entails, but just telling someone to do better when no "better" has been done in their perspective isn't going to do anything. No impact either. If he said "We want *freedom,* senator.", there would be a lot more impact than to just tell him to merely do better.
@@Pumpkin0_0 They already know what to do better, they just weren't willing yo fo so until their abuse of the Displaced got so bad it provoked a retaliation. They just weren't willing to acknowledge this until Falcon spelled it our for them. What they have do better is stop hoarding resources they don't need (which the show pointed out) and treat everyone like human beings.
The Drinker himself wouldn't have written it any better. But then again he hates immigrants anyways.
@@ShadowSonic2 That's the point, Falcon didn't spell it out for them. It's supposed to be a speech on a show. Just telling someone to do better won't create any waves either on the show nor in reality. If he and his community need something from the people governing them, he should actually spell it out. Otherwise, they're mere complaints that will fall on deaf ears. It needs to be more specific. He had the opportunity to speak directly with the senator with cameras on him, and that's all he had to say? Complain and be vague? He only made it sound like the issue isn't important enough for those in charge to actually listen or care. The senator isn't on his shoes to know, and Falcon didn't even bother saying that they should set up a meeting right then and there in front of everyone to talk about it later. He's a freaking Avenger. And if you think 100% of them just don't care, well, I'm sure there are also things you should be caring about yet you just don't because the human brain can't care about every single thing that needs to be fixed. And being a leader isn't easy for those who don't know shit about leading.

If you are looking for an American TV show that speaks to today's political climate...the Drinker is right. This is the best show ever! The character arcs of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes are so meaningful, they became a character circle that gets them back to where they almost were after the end of Avengers: Endgame.

I mean if someone replaced a person as great as Steve rogers with some random soldier I would've also been pissed if was in that universe like cmon Cap saved the universe and he just gets replaced?
Yeah the falcon gave it away so it can be put in a museum, but he only did it because he thought he can't live up to Captain America.
Plus it was kinda also the governments fault for giving the shield to John walker.
@@Disanem Though they shouldn't have directed the anger at John. He's a pawn who only knows it when he was being stripped of all his achievements after only made one mistake in doing what the government wants. I was pissed off too at the start, but after his talks with Lemarr, the talk before he went out to be interviewed, basically he's trying to fill the shoes, but Steve put the stakes really high. It's okay to feel like that, we're human.
It's like, getting angry at someone who just got promoted because the previous worker was too good and that new guy just showed up one day to replace the good worker. He's humble, skillful, but inexperienced and still immature? Let's talk him out from the job, instead of trying to understand and guide him. Oh, you know the reason behind the replacement is just a scheme from the higher-ups? And the new guy doesn't know it? Let's just take it out on the new guy since we can't oppose the higher-ups.
The sad part is they were just butthurt he had the shield when it was Sam who gave it away
@@Nemesis0921 That, and they never gave him a chance. It wasn't his choice so it made no sense to blame him for it or treat him so rudely.
Bucky: Actual supersoldier, Steve's oldest friend, has bionic arm, has combat experience going all the way back to WW2...
Sam: Pararescue soldier with winged jet pack, quit the service after his friend died, spent years as a VA counselor, worked with Steve barely a few years, literally fell into the Avengers, is NOT a supersoldier...
And the shield goes to---? No one can make it make sense.
as opposed to who the super soldier serum originally went to? ya know...the weak, small boy from...brooklyn?
my point is that none of the stuff you listed is even remotely relevant to what Steve was looking for in a replacement.
@@sillyking1991It's completely relevant. Sam has NO enhanced abilities, which is what made Steve Rogers Captain America. Bucky, while not enhanced in the same way Steve was, still has the same abilities and physical enhancements. Handing Sam the shield is like giving a toddler a BB gun and then dropping him off in the middle of Afghanistan.
@@CowboyRobot2000i personally feel it's not really about the powers though, otherwise they wouldn't have given the formula to some shrimpy kid. the point of being Captain America is to fight for a noble cause and be the living embodiment of America. essentially be a goody two shoes as I feel Tony would've called him. with that being said Sam Wilson fits that description as even with all of Karli's evil he still saw good in him. he still saw what she was trying to do and only went after her because of HOW she tried doing it. meanwhile while Bucky does have the abilities, he dosen't have the same attributes as Steve. while Steve would've saw the good in her and tried to talk her down, Bucky throughout the show wanted to kill her. and Bucky sees himself as a monster after everything he remembers doing as The Winter Solider so I don't even think he wants the title and that's the point. Steve saw something good in Sam and knows what life was like for Sam as a kid so he gave the shield to him because he believed/knew that Sam would use the shield to represent freedom and liberty. that's the whole reason why Walker was just not worthy of the shield and suit because he gave into anger and brutally killed someone in public. Terrorist or not can you honestly tell me that you can imagine Steve bashing his shield into a guy's chest like he's trying to be in Mortal Kombat? the shield is more than just a flashy weapon that can be used to kill bad guys it's a damn symbol that means something. that's what made Steve Rogers/Captain America special:he always tried to do the right thing against all other odds, even when the government was against him he tried to do what was right. and that's what Sam tries to do. not understanding that is misrepresenting the ENTIRE point of Captain America and why he's special.
If it was relevant they wouldn't have picked Steve Rodgers in the first place, the whole captain America story contradicts your point @@CowboyRobot2000
@@theredandblueyakuza Try thinking before replying next time.
John Walker as conceived by Mark Gruenwald is one of the most interesting comic characters of all-time. He was essentially a normal guy thrust into the role of Captain America; he didn't ask for it, but he didn't refuse his nation's call. And like many great Marvel characters, in his ensuing journey, you saw him struggle, falter and fail just as often as you saw him win. He didn't always make the right choices but what was compelling about him was that, in spite of his failings, he was always striving to do the right thing and to live up to Captain America's legacy. Even when he ended up going berserk following the murder of his parents, you could feel for and sympathize with him. By the time the story reached it's climax in a battle between John Walker and the former Captain America, Steve Rogers, both characters had their partisans. A lot of people wanted to see Steve Rogers back as Captain America, but nearly as many had grown to empathize with John Walker's feet of clay and his struggle to live up to an impossible standard.
But for some reason, aside from Gruenwald, almost everyone who has taken on the character has decided to write him as a "jingoistic" version of Captain America; a sort of darker, more chauvinistic and nationalistic version of Steve Rogers who mindlessly follows the dictates of the government. I guess this series gives him a little bit of his former complexities, but at the cost of being everyone's punching bag. He mostly just seems like a stand-in for everything the writers despise about American patriotism, rather than someone you're supposed to relate to and sympathize with.
Excellent post, this should be a pinned comment.
I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t actually seen this show but this was wonderfully written!
Moreover it was revealed Walker was specifically chosen *to fail* by the Red Skull himself (who had orchestrated everything behind the scenes). The plan was to disgrace the Captain America name by choosing someone who could be broken and made into something Captain American was not. Red was behind nearly every impossible task Walker was given right down to the Watchdogs killing his parents.
This version of John Walker is more like Nuke (as he was introduced in DareDevil anyway) than John Walker of the comics. Only without the pills...
It may not affirm your particular virtues and it may be poorly conceived, but it is another interpretation of the character.

This dude is so good at sarcasm. If someone didn’t know who drinker was and you showed them this video, they probably wouldn’t know it was sarcasm because of how good it is
frfr. most people would do the intro sarcastically. he does the whole video without missing a beat
A minute of silence for those poor souls who actually thought this is a vid praising their favorite show without catching the sarcasm.
Those people dont have the IQ to understand sarcasm.

@@adampkalb Not really. What racial discussion did actually have? Just merely citing America is racist...because past crimes doesn't make a good case against the country. Basically every charge it ineptly levels against the country fall on it's face.
The bank had completely legit reasons for denying Sam, as he was legally dead for 5 years, zero credit history, and a dangerous job. Him being black had nothing to do with it.
The cops approaching Sam was validate since he was being rather hostile toward Bucky, and anyone who didn't know they were friends could assume he was going fight him. Sam gives the cops tons of crap back, rather than just smoothing the situation out by flashing his badge like Bucky says. Bucky ends up being arrested not Sam.
Isaiah Bradley has beef with being tortured...but he completely ignores the fact Hydra did it to him not the US government. If Steve wasn't on ice at the time, Hydra would been experimenting on him or trying remove him as they did in Winter Soldier. So it's naive to think this malice was solely based on race, which Hydra founded by actual nazis. They experimented and tortured several other characters in the MCU of various races. (Such as Doctor List cut Skye's mother to pieces to take her power on Agents of Shield.)
The only characters to till Sam he shouldn't be Captain America because he's black is Isaiah Bradley and Sam himself. Every other character is indifferent to his race, as they encourage him to take the shield in many cases. No one actually is racist toward Sam besides other Black people calling him Black Falcon. Which he then says it's just Falcon...but then say Yes when they say he's "Black" Captain America. Which is it Sam? Sam was never concerned with race prior to this show, as he just kicked ass with Steve without an issue. This same universe where a black man was called Ironpatriot. No one ever made a stink about his race prior. Yet he harps on it all too often but never actually has any case to be made of why he feels that way beyond...racism exists. (Which is super lazy writing.)
This show never gives a different point of view as it just filters everything through as Leftist Propaganda. There's nothing brave, balanced ,or nuanced about parroting the narrative Hollywood and the media streammedia are saying. Compare this to say Black Lightning which tackles race in a far more interesting manner.One of the scenes that impressed me when i saw it, was during a training exercise when Jefferson is training Thunder, his eldest daughter to use her powers. She is supposed to only hit the hostile people that are holograms, and she avoids attacking all the innocent bystanders by one. The guy wearing a confederate flag, as she assumes he's a threat and attacks him. She's like well of course that guy is a threat....but he says no. We're not here be the thought police, as he doesn't condone what the guy believes, but says we're not here to decide who we protect. That scene took guts to include...nothing in Falcon and Winter Soldier did.
@@Lastjustice The show never said the loan denial was over race.
""The cops approaching Sam was validate since he was being rather hostile toward Bucky, and anyone who didn't know they were friends could assume he was going fight him.""
That's no excuse. 2 guys arguing doesn't merit Cops.

It was actually both.

He never calls himself that. Just Captain America.
"Sam was never concerned with race prior to this show"
He was never given focus before this show.
"This same universe where a black man was called Ironpatriot"
Iron Patriot was seen as a joke by everyone, remember?
"Yet he harps on it all too often"
Not really. He only mentions it once at the end.
"This show never gives a different point of view"
Is that why John Walker wasn't given a 3-Dimensional characterization? Oh wait....
"Compare this to say Black Lightning which"
Was utterly gutless. It tried to say "A Guy who believes in the Confederates is okay"
"That scene took guts to include"
FATWS had to guts to stand up to 20 years of American Brainwashing and say "Stop abusing the label of terrorist whenever anyone opposes you". Which is a far more important message than "Respect someone wearing the Confederate flag".
@@ShadowSonic2 You really shouldn't made this sorry attempt to counter. Change your avatar, as you are no Einstein, unless you're like his bizarro verse.
-The show never said the loan denial was over race.
No, the show clearly was framing the rejection of the loan was based on race with his sister's reaction.(Plenty of normies cite as such proving that was the the intent.) She was implying it was why she couldn't get one. Which Sam goes I will handle the white people. It was framing race as the struggle.
-That's no excuse. 2 guys arguing doesn't merit Cops.
No, people looking like they're going fight as Sam yelling loudly is a legit reason for the cops to question what's happening. They didn't draw their guns on him, they demand he ID himself and tell them what was going on, Sam then acts like a punk to them. Again this all just makes Sam look like a asshole not the cops. They were in a bad neighborhood, and Sam and Bucky's body language were saying they were going to fight to anyone not aware they were friends. Police were completely justified in investigating what was happening. You just saying no it's not shows you have fuck all of understanding of how law enforcement works. If they see signs of violence they get involved. (I had a bloody nose after a fight, and they got involved despite me wanting to just go clean up then go home.) It's all based off probable cause not race.
-"It was actually both."
Again you fail. It must suck beign so pisspoor at this. You try correct me, but logic shows you are wrong. Hydra tortured and experimented on people of all races. It's a pursuit of power at any cost, including your humanity. (Hence why the red Skull looks the way he does, not exactly being subtle here.) Hydra infiltrated Shield, and their operatives killed plenty of white people who got in their way like Dan Sousa and Victoria Hand. They experiment on multiple inhumans to take their powers. Their race didn't matter nor did their humanity to Hydra.
-You've never heard of Henrietta Lacks and the Tuskegee Studies then.
I'm aware of the real world situation in which terrible things happened to good men. My point has never been real racism doesn't exist...then shows not showing how it impacts Sam directly to justify his bitching about it. His character never mentions his race or any one else, then suddenly it becomes the defining trait of his character. When you insert a super nazi group into your comicbook version of it you are deflecting the blame from the US government. This is not an apples to apples comparison. That is why this point fails. (and your rebuttal to mine.)
-The only ones who OUTRIGHT say it. You don't need to say something to mean it.
If no one else says it, then it's imaginary. That's exactly my point. Who else even implied it? Oh wait NO ONE because disney wants pander to SJWs while not actually making the case for why racism is happening. Unlike Captain Marvel which say what you will about it, they atleast show men actually being sexist or crappy toward her on screen("That's why they call it a cock-pit"one of the pilots showing obvious sexism.), making an argument ...mind you not a good one, but she's atleast got some receipts for her grievances. Sam just says America racist, and we're supposed to take his word on it as a fact despite nothing is shown in his life to be wronged solely due to his race. It's a fact in the writers of the show's mind because some bad things happen in the past there for we have to accept it in universe as an absolute, but it doesn't work as you need show not tell why someone feels something in film. There's never another point of view shown either.
-He was never given focus before this show.
Or may be it wasn't terribly important to his character. Does Captain America whine about how straight white and priviledged he is the entire time? Sam had enough going on that being black could just been a trait of his character without becoming the sole element of his story. The guy is a kick ass airman, and has awesome flight suit. He didn't seem to ever get stuck on race before, then suddenly some half ass writers get a hold of his character, that's only thing they can focus on. It's not as if we didn't have entire movie talking about race with Black Panther. The MCU has addressed it to some degree, but not every one who's not white needs be defined by their skin color. Sam definitely didn't. He was doing just fine prior. ua-cam.com/video/Q5D2RvIQwQE/v-deo.html
"Is that why John Walker wasn't given a 3-Dimensional characterization? Oh wait...."
John Walker doesn't address race in anything he does beyond the company he keeps. His actions are that of a soldier. Why he's a bad foil for this racial bit the show wants to bring in. John Walker is the least racist person despite how this show acts like he's terrible. Everyone around him is a minority, including his wife and his best friend. If he was actually being shown as a racist and why he felt Sam didn't deserve the shield , then it might had a leg to stand on. Instead Walker just makes Sam look like he's paranoid with how not racist he is.
No one ever chimes in to challenge anything Sam says head on. Like Bucky just rolls over and nods to whatever Sam says, as everything Sam says is treated an absolute truth. Zemo just reinforces what he says about Troubled man. No one says, Hey Sam you live in a country where black men are paid to millions of dollars to play sports, act, perform and one even became President.We've had black Generals and brain surgeons. It seems like there's plenty of room for Black people to do great things in this country, we could probably handle you being Captain America. Nope, everyone just listens to him complain, and never says anything to counter his statements. White people need to stay in their lane!
-Not really. He only mentions it once at the end.
No, he definitely mentions it several times through out the show. I refuse to rewatch it to make an exact count, but it's easily once a episode. Probably more, but we're comparing to it basically not being something he ever mentions.
-Was utterly gutless. It tried to say "A Guy who believes in the Confederates is okay"
No, that's a very controversial statement these days. Hell people wanna flay Tyler Perry for just saying don't hate the cops in his Oscar speech despite really shouldn't be anything controversial or unreasonable. It's a very bibical sentiment of love thy enemy. To show people there's a better way by being the bigger person. It's easy to say smite whomever disagrees. (The left loves that answer.)
One of the first thing they told us in basic training was you don't get to choose who you protect when I was in the Air force. If Canada invades Wisconsin, I don't just shrug and say let them have the cheeseheads because I'm from Chicago. That's not what I vowed...I vowed to defend this country against ALL ENEMIES..foreign and domestic. You have to protect even the people you disagree with or don't even like or this country comes apart. United we stand, divided we fall.
That was the point of the scene, not let's say it's okay wear a confedrate flag. While I personally don't have a negative view of it, since I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazard, so I have positive memories of the General Lee, I get why people negatively react when they see it. I respect both sides right to wear it and view it negatively. I mean I think people wearing che guevara is kinda disgusting since this guy killed alot of people, and promoted marxism. I'm not going physically assault anyone for wearing something I disagree with. Freedom of speech extends to even speech I don't like.
-FATWS had to guts to stand up to 20 years of American Brainwashing and say "Stop abusing the label of terrorist whenever anyone opposes you". Which is a far more important message than "Respect someone wearing the Confederate flag".
Oh please. If someone commits violence to push their idealogy, they are the textbook definition of terrorists. Karli and the flagsmashers were absolutely terrorist and deserved whatever wrath they got in the process. There was nothing they did that showed they were going to stop outside of death, as Sam opts to not fight her like a moron and nearly gets killed if Sharon Carter doesn't do exactly what he should have done. Some people only understand force, as anything else is just a waste of words. Karli was one of those people. Sam then martyrs someone who was terrible and acts a mouthpiece for her.
This just more leftist trash of controlling langugage. Don't call people breaking the law criminals despite the term fitting 100%. They want to call people who illegally cross the border dreamers. Shoving leftist bullshit down people's throats is not brave in the slightest. Editing words and erasing them is not freedom of speech. This 1984 orwellian style bullshit where you outlaw the words so people can't articulate a concept. No words should ever be banned.(Name an instance in history where the person advocating from censoring or burning books ever was the good guys in the story.) If you can control the language , you can control the narrative and ultimately the people. I refuse this false control as my words will not be compelled by leftist ideologues.
@@Lastjustice You know, until now it didn't occur to me that it would've been *SHIELD,* which was actually, at that point, almost fully infiltrated by Hydra, that tortured Isaiah. This should probably be pointed out more.
They really did a good job of making John Walker not seem to be a bad guy even if they didn't intend to. Started out as just a generic character and turned out to be a multidimensional character with much more depth.
The fucking "Lamar's life doesn't matter!?!?!!?!?!" in the last episode was just so fucking funny.
They couldn't completely burn him, because in the Marvel comics he was a flawed but generally liked Captain America, and after that he became US agent.
I love how they use "alternative facts" in their own written story; "you killed an innocent man", eventhough they could have just written that he actually killed a civilian, instead of a terrorist. I guess they just wanted to do what they were used to?
Of course that's what they intended.
Lets be honest, had we all been in his place, we would all have done the same.
I dont know if they wanted to create a toxic character but, honestly, its the one i liked the most. Zemo was quite cool too
@@alejandrohernandezcarrillo2436 They obviously didn't intend to make "toxic character". The show immediately tried to humanize Walker from his first appearance. Critical Drinker is obviously selling a right wing grift at this point.
I so wanted to like this show because I love Bucky (Sebastian Stan is a fantastic actor) and was excited for him to finally be a main character. Instead his arc got sidelined for a woke storyline. He and Sam had great potential. What a terrible waste.
Are you going to whine "WOKE" anytime you see a nonwhite in anything?
@@ShadowSonic2 are you gonna whine about racism everytime a white person is in something? Because you seem to be doing that a lot.
I only watched the first episode, but Stan did a good job and Bucky had some cool stuff going on.
I just couldnt make it past the boat loan scene. It was so incredibly stupid that at first i thought it was a joke that went on too long
That's what irritated me about this stupid show. I definitely wanted to see more of Bucky since the idiots of before didn't bother even do that right but in this show, I feel that they didn't even try to go into him more and they nerfed him in fights where the enemy is very clearly trying to kill him.
I love Bucky but I hate this show.
The Flagsmashers actions were "murdery but mostly peaceful."
During the entirety of the show, I could see that the writers wanted me to hate John Walker. I asked myself: "why?", coming up with no answers. He doesn't do much wrong other than taking revenge, in the heat of battle, against a terrorist.
At least he *might* be a good guy from now on in the future as U.S. Agent but idk.
For what it's worth, I never got the impression that the writers wanted me to hate John Walker. Just the opposite: I felt like the writers went out of their way to introduce him as somebody I should think was worthy of the shield, which I thought made for a great twist.
@@truejim John Walker was portrayed as ruining Sam and Buckys' plan, which wasn't working anyway, by disrupting Karli and Sams' one-on-one. He then murdered a terrorist, as drinker states, who begged for his life.(the terrorist well set for killing many more people in attacks.) In episode 4, John Walker is used as an antihero with emphesis on the "anti.", because he is a threat to the main characters.
@@sitmanlife6209 See I read Walker's introduction completely differently. He's a war hero and good guy on an important mission, one sanctioned by his government, while unaffiliated Sam and Bucky are out there being random vigilantes...but Walker still offers to bring them onto his team. I thought the writers were doing a great job of making Walker be the sympathetic one. I guess it's all in how one reads the scene.
how do u know the writers wanted you to hate him?

Damn straight.
Carly was an awful character, I was rooting for Underbite Cap to kick her ass so badly. Somehow she was still able to kick his ass when he had taken the Super Soldier Serum - How? surely at this point they are on a level playing field, so if that's the case then he would have a serious advantage in terms of his baseline physical size and strength not to mention years of fight training. He should have kicked her a$$.
Yes but she has the hidden ability of being the "main villain".
She was a woman so....
Yeah, Walker was literally at peak human physical condition BEFORE he took th serum, and was a decorated War Veteran. Karli knocking him down at _all_ was just silly.
but she was a woman that was also the main "antagoni- whoops sorry anti-villain because shes not actually bad guy!!!!"

Not to mention, she was Cap's neighbor in Winter Soldier and then kissed him in Civil War. And at that time, her aunt just died and Cap immediately moved on with her hot niece.
Slept her way in the show I guess.
With Cap gone she’s pretty much useless. They coulda tried and start a relationship. But not anymore, she’s of no use to the MCU.
Legitimately really enjoyed Walker’s arc. He was trying to live up to a symbol that only truly existed with Steve, ridiculed by others for doing so because of it instead of being guided in the right direction, and ultimately was manipulated via his mad drive to become the symbol he couldn’t. At the end of the arc, he’s still being manipulated as he becomes the USAgent, I hope to see more of him honestly.
I agree he's the only character in the show I really cared about and was rooting for.
This show has a lot of good character development or showcase. Like when Zemo asked Sam if he ever want to use the serum and Sam with no hesitation responded no. Which can tell so much about character. Except for the flag smasher lol. They just repeated that they will do something, then they do non sense throughout the whole series.
Let’s look forward for the Thunderbolts. It’s gonna have zemo and Walker most likely. Boi is that gonna Ben a spicy bowl of soup
He is confirmed to be returning in The Thunderbolts
Yeah, I really enjoyed Walker and his character arc.
He’s not a perfect individual, and his flaws can weigh him down at times. That said, I do believe he is a good man deep down, and seeing others toss him under the bus in-story (I legit despised Sam basically ignoring every flag on Walker and let him self-destruct when the guy was originally a counselor for traumatized veterans…) really endeared Walker to me.
Falcon: Do better!
Senator: Why didn’t you and your friends do better and undo the Snap completely, or keep the Infinity Gems to deal with the problems which would inevitably arise, or use the Pym Particles to create more resources and living space?
