I loved how Sam still tried to de-escalate things with Walker. When they found him, Sam could've called him out and say he's a murderer. Instead, he told Walker to explain his situation to the government and he made a mistake. Sam has a heart of gold which is why I wanted him to have the shield in the first place. Props to everyone, especially Wyatt Russell's performance.
Sam did mess up though. He knew John was in an emotional state being ripped from the inside but still went for the aggressive path by asking for the shield. John was starting to calm down until Sam asked for the shield
When Walker was telling the group that they made him and trained him it made me think if all the young men and women who go to war and come back as broken people after seeing the things they see. Mental health for vets is awful and the government does no favors in helping them. He was a broken man who was handed power and broken people brake people, sometimes literally.
I was looking for this comment. You are absolutely right. I think that line was thought-provoking and significant. Can't wait to see what they will do with his character. Surely hope he doesn't die next week!
The saddest of it all is seeing army vets living on the street after serving. Like, they get praised for their work abroad, but as soon as they retire, it's like they never existed. It makes me both angry, sad and irritated. And what makes it worst is how people in social media still have the nerve to defend the army's actions. This is why PTSD is such a serious issue with everything going on around these men and women in and after the army.
That's a fact. Civilians create everything that makes warfighters what they are, without understanding what it does to them and it makes them into - for better and worse. He had baggage probably from his Army combat operations and now no one is going to give a fuck about that now. Thrown under the bus. Many of the people who put charges against him probably didn't hold total fault against him but had to after it was seen public. That in itself is crossing the line and warfighters are expected to hold themselves to high standards, but the fact is that the less bad people or enemy, the BETTER, no matter how that is achieved. War crimes exist and prosecuting them must be upheld but there are times when all some rules do is hinder.
spot on! also the fact they took away his benefits which he rightly earned years before killing that young man I can see them taking away his rank in retirement as part of his punishment but his benefits? the man earned that.
My favorite moment from this episode was when Sam finally got back the shield, he was literally apologizing to it without saying it out loud. He looked broken af wiping the blood off of it. Props to Anthony Mackie for the great acting. No need to mention Wyatt, we all know he killed it. 🔥
It was based on real events. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, which resulted in over 300 people dying. Ethical Laws weren't written in stone yet, and racism had a clear influence. Those people were deemed disposable by the state and the scientists who ruined their lives, and it still manifests today with black populations being anti-vaxx.
They can more than handle X-Men themes. The X-Men deal with these issues in a metaphorical way, this show addresses real race issues in the actual text.

@@cormano64 Why I love that bit in Civil War when Emma Frost calls Tony on his Bullshit when he tries to pull the "they killed kids" card: "Where were YOU when OUR babies were burning on Genosha?"
For me, a very subtle moment I appreciated was Bucky sleeping on the couch. Going off what was said in The Winter Soldier movie (bed feels as if you’re about to fall through or something to that analogy) and seen in earlier episodes, Bucky was still haunted by the memories and the battlefield. Obviously not a bed, but I think it’s a bit symbolic that he’s on his way back to recovery- sparing Zemo, opening up to a community and finally connecting with Sam. It’s steps like this that deserve credit, even IRL when someone you know is struggling in life and trying to get better. Edit: also wanted to add, its some interesting parallels comparing Sam's tough love to Bucky's therapist's strict and blunt (from her military experience) advice, and Thor's mom's tough love advice. Putting that last one in there as her and Sam's advice were something that helped give Bucky/Thor a push in the right direction without being too harsh like Rocket or Bucky's therapist.
This episode really made me care about Sam as a character in a way that I really hadn’t before- His convo with Bradley was so well done- they understood each other and yet had different interpretations and stances.
I like that Sam went back and got perspective from Isaiah Bradley, and he gave him that real talk, and Sam ultimately thinking like I CAN be the you that never was in this lifetime, it's going to be hard and w/o the serum, but still let's Go!!!
my favorite moment,, Isaiah's tragic life is a haunting reminder of a terrible era in the world. but undoubtedly it HAS gotten better. it makes me so glad Sam is able to prove he can be captain america regardless of what the world thinks
Walkers rant at the Senators was the truth, even if at that moment he was trying to cover himself. The military basically programs these men to participate in tragedy, but as soon as they are filmed they are thrown to the wolves. I don't like him at all, but even I can see how the government is partially to blame.
Someone called John's DIY project the Struggle Shield and i couldn't stop laughing, especially because I knew I was going to be watching you guys soon. Lol
01:58 - "But then people forget that when Cap was talking to Iron Man, he said 'let's scrap'. He said 'let's go a few rounds.' He was trying to whoop his ass". You forgot they were being directly influenced by Loki's scepter which contained the Mind Stone. Said scepter that was right there besides them as ALL of them started arguing and eventually threatening each other. That wasn't natural Steve.
Steve also said "Put on your suit" to Tony, so they would be more less equal in strength. Even while being influenced by the scepter, Steve was still able to be fair.
Also from Steve’s POV, Bucky did technically die in “The First Avenger” when he fell from the train. I don’t recall Steve killing anyone out of rage after that happened, but few people are like him.
@Xbox One Tony was always an asshole, but the Mind Stone was turning it up to eleven for sure. Same with Steve, who wouldn't even consider calling him to a fight otherwise. Sam is just great in general.
Saving his comrades after going rogue is actually a dark parallel between Steve Rogers and Isaiah Bradley...Rogers got welcomed as a hero but Bradley got his ass put in jail....
It was probably the right decision though. Now, instead of seeing the new suit for the first time folded in a box, we'll see it when Sam makes a dramatic entrance to save the day.
Look at the way walker fights with the shield he uses it like a blade to cut. Which is the polar opposite of what a shield is meant to be used, he attacks rather than protects
Yeah, but the shield is also constantly used as a weapon to attack when it gets flung even by Steve Roger's himself. But Steve never used it to "cut", so you could argue that John Walkers fighting style is without conscience or remorse for his enemies. So He doesn't have good character like Steve or Sam.
I think Isiah was talking about himself too when he said no self-respecting Black man would want to be Cap. I think way back when he thought he could be or could have been it, and that hurts too.
More like it was representing how Black Men have fought in every single war of the US proudly, yet never been treated with respect for that even...thus why would any self-respecting Black Man want to represent an America that doesn't try to represent for him.
Isiah was never asked to be Cap, he was tricked. Really, Steve Rogers was never asked to be Cap either. He was asked to be a Dancing Monkey. When he pulled off his rescue mission he had been made famous, like a movie star. People knew his face and name. Plus he had Stark and Peggy in his corner. Tommy Lee Jones never thought he was worth anything. Once he proved he was, the Gov wanted more weapons, not Caps. When we look at Walker kinda the same deal, like Isiah said. Great White Hope. They wanted a guy with medals and a sidekick that obeyed orders, they didn't want Cap. Sam had already gone on the run once and done his own thing. He was too independent for them, in addition to their ideal image.
@@markd5727 and what are those Americans doing to change that? How effective are those Americans being in that regard? We Black people can't just sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting for positive change to come for us, not while we are being murdered by civil servants with no justice to be found for us...meanwhile, constantly being promised how this time will be different, this time will be different...yet every time, elected officials offer nothing but lip service to garner our support but break every promise once they have gotten in. We Black people have routinely been a metaphorical Captain America for this country, it is long overdue that this country be Captain America for us...before we should proudly don the red, white, and blue again.
This episode was so good. The social commentary, Sam and Bucky being bros, and John finally getting his ass beat 😂. The shield's finally back in good hands.
@@thetypingavocado574 Yeah, if Bucky was in Winter Soldier mode that fight would’ve been quick. I remembered how fast he took that shield off Steve when they went hand to hand and was yelling at Bucky to do that same move 😂
I just had an epiphany about Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. Bare with me, i forget the doctors name but he wanted the super soldier serum to go to a good man, not a good soldier. That man was Steve Rodgers. I was one of the people who wondered about the reasoning of why Steve gave Sam the shield. Under the concept of "it takes one to know one", i believe i know the reason now. After his military service Sam became a counselor for other soldiers who was dealing with trauma and PTSD. He didnt just go "i did my service im done bye yall" he decided to help people who served but may have dealt with trauma during their military service. In addition to that in the winter soldier even Steve asked Sam "Are you sure you want to get back in" to which Dam replied. "Cap needs my help thats more than enough reason to get back in the game." I think Steve knew that Sam was willing to put his own peace and comfort aside and prioritize helping others. If anyone would know who gets the shield it would be Steve. Sam didnt see that at first but i think hes getting it now.
Also apologies for the comment spam but the look on zemos face when Bucky had the gun isn’t fear. The dude was ready to die to see his family again. That’s all zemo wants next to ending all superheroes, to meet his family in the after lifr
When Sam let's Torres keep the wings, it's actually foreshadowing the new Falcon...in the comics, Torres succeeds Sam as the Falcon... Also, Julia Dreyfuss 's character Contessa Valentina, is actually Madam Hydra from the comics, who's kinda like female bad Nick Fury...
If they have a scene in the last episode where Sam shows up as Captain America, and they show Bradley watching him on tv and he sheds a tear....man....I'll be GONE
1:32 Cap was in that same situation. Someone did kill Bucky right in front of him (not really, but Steve thought he was dead), and that was Zola and his henchmen. Cap brought them in instead of killing them.
The point of Walker in this show is that not everybody can replace Steve. That even Walker who was a war hero couldn't handle the pressure. The people we see say they would've done things differently in Walker's shoe are clearly lying to themselves.
isiah didn't have a bucky. that's why. steve was about to be court marshaled in that scene but then bucky did the smart thing and said, "three cheers for captain america." and suddenly steve had the whole battalion on his side.
@@idleeidolon Even before Bucky did his three cheers, Col Phillips dismissed Steve’s “I’d like to surrender myself for disciplinary action” with a sniff and “That won’t be necessary.” So there is a double standard. Steve also saved a mixed group of soldiers (white, black, Asian, American, British, French, etc.) which was good PR. Whereas Isaiah saved a group of black soldiers that the US Govt was trying to hide, had made mentally unstable with their experiments, and were basically hoping they could wash their hands of by bombing the POW camp.
I felt and had the exact same reaction as you guys during the Isiah Bradley and Sam Wilson talk. Such a powerful scene. I absolutely love this show. They did such an amazing job.
I love how they hinted at Walker being conflicted in the fight. Deep down he was good "why are you making me do this?" Because he knew it was wrong but he was just overwhelmed. And in the beginning they almost talked him out of it but then Sam said he needs the shield, its similar to when Walker almost got through to Sam but then he said the final line. I hope they show more of how conflicted Walker is inside.
No one was making him do shit. That's the whole point. We glorify soldiers and blame their generals, but ultimately when you pull that trigger, that was your choice, man. You put yourself in that situation. We don't have a draft any more - you signed up for this shit. And ultimately, if they have you doing heinous shit in Afghanistan that fucked you up, you're supposed to disobey bad orders. Don't give me that whiny "I was just doing what you wanted me to do" bullshit.
@@YodatheHobbit Consistently? Ep 4's ending was the first time he did something he regretted. Before that he was trying to go straight and make clean progress in his investigation, and got his ass kicked the whole way. He was pushed to this point. You sound like someone who would bully someone else into having a breakdown, and then when they kill someone you walk off whistling like you had absolutely nothing to do with it.
the thing that people are missing is this. As Captain America, you are not supposed to handle things the way any normal person would. SO you can't be held to the same standards as everyone else. Him killing someone in cold blood instead of arresting him or simply incapacitating him, shows his lack of restraint. Which can't be the quality that someone holding that shield, should have
Everything you say is true, but here the thing. When Walker had his soliloquy of rage, and said "You built me," I think that went over a lot of people's heads. He was an Army Ranger, a Special Ops. Having been in the Spec Ops community myself (11th Psyop Battalion), we knew the Rangers to be the Kick In The Door type of unit. TAnd you heard him and Lemar talk about all the black and grey ops they did, all the lives they took on covert ops. Basically, what Walker did to that guy, he's done before in the Army...only difference is, the government has been able to cover up and disavow all those past deeds. Here, it was VERY public, they couldn't deny anything. So they cut their losses, put it all on him. It' no excuse for what he did, but this didn't start with him. They put the shield in the wrong guy's hands and asked him to be something other than what he was trained to be.
When Bucky doesn't kill an accepting Zemo and drops the bullets In front of him, that's actually him signifying that he's not the murderous Winter Soldier anymore. Also, Zemo going to the Raft may foreshadow his involvement with the Thunderbolts, as General Ross heads the Raft and he's its initiator.
This episode was pretty fantastic, especially the opening. Walker was fighting his off against Bucky and Sam and I respect him for that, but he had that beating coming. Can't wait for that finale and to see that new Falcon suit, because you know its going to be all kinds of FIRE!!!!
The docks and sams house is beautiful and it was cute seeing Bucky smiling looking at the kids after waking up at sams, the fight between Bucky Sam and Us Agent was awesome, Sam and Bucky throwing the shield and the Sam training scene was awesome, the entire episode was amazing probably my personal favorite out of all of them
When sam finally embraced the shield after his conversation with Isaiah Bradley, wow! Perfect. Thats all I've been waiting for the whole time. Can't wait to see Caps new wakanda suite. Great video✌
They be killing the thing where the fight happens in the beggining of the episode and then through the episode they be dealing with that instead of just building to a big fight at the end
At the beginning that fight was awesome. And to be honest I feel sorry for Walker, he wanted to be Captain America the best he can and he lost his close friend.
@@Zembo177 He wasn't really set up to fail, he was impatient and assumed that he would get respect simply off the name of Captain America before even doing the work as Captain America that Steve Rogers did.
@@Mr10before9 He did kinda get set up, because they say clearly that the only reason they pick him as Capt. America is because of his record they didnt care for mental issues and after he fail they basicallyerase everything he did and made it look like he's dead to them
John Walker hold his own, he did did the work but Bucky is a dammm badass, Sam got me in the feels, loved his comeback in the practice training & ending scene
I've just decided that Henry Jackman is a master composer. Three minutes and three seconds into this episode may be the most beautiful, yet haunting and heart-rending rendition of the Civil War theme I've ever heard. Music is a character in and of itself.
Just a fun detail I noticed was the moment Bucky and Sarah first interacted. Bucky smiles and repeats her name, probably thinking back to how Steve's mom name was also Sarah.
Your reactions are my favourite! I love how deeply you think about the themes and how you look at both sides. I think that's how marvel intended the show to be watched!
I liked Sam and Bucky just working together on the boat, too. Scenes like that are important. They show us that these are real people. They're not just soldiers and superheroes.
I like to imagine Walker was hearing Lamarr's voice telling him to do the right thing during that brief moment he realizes he has to choose between avenging Lamarr or saving the people who let him down.
NOT GONNA COMMENT ON YALL REACTION... I must give you guys respect! Y’all clearly read the comments and weighed opinions in the balance. Real talk.....y’all are literally on another level for that. I appreciate y’all showing that we are heard. Seriously thanks man! Love y’all content. Keep it going brothers! Blessings....
You can see Sam exhale and really get emotional when he opens the case at the end, and you literally know that it's a Captain America themed suit with wings to match
I freakin love this series! I kind of was hoping when Isaiah was talking about his story that we were gonna get a flash back of him in his prime, but either way it was an emotional moment!
Sam's like mcu Barack Obama, he's about to make history with that shield. Bradley is the broken past, while Sam is the new beginning, they did the politics well honestly, didn't expect that from Disney. Bradleys worldview is also executed really well, he's an old man from another era and like Sam said, anyone go through what he went they would turn out the same.
"a crackhead through that shit back" lool m dogg never miss. This is most definitely my favourite Captain America story, I understand it's a spin off but godam this story is actually about America. Probably one of marvel's best release.
Wakanda had better give Sam a whole vibranium suit so he won't get his bone popping like Walker in that 2 vs 1 scene and that man had serum in his blood stream.
What I'm loving about this episode is that it's showing how alike Karli and John are, even if they're fighting for different causes. Reminding us that we can believe in a cause so much, it can blind us, and we can all do things that compromise our actual cause.
Some really good shots in last two episodes: -walker superhero landing with shield on top of the van -low angle slow moving shot of walker with bloodied shield -walker on his knees in this episode (idk but I think I have seen that shot maybe cover of some comic or something)
Sam looking like he got more than just some wings, He didnt smile like yeah buck got me wings, he looked at it like "o shit this is more than i thought it was" look. Designed probably from shuri he gettin jet pack wings mayb a mask goggles or mayb he might get a Black Panther style suit
Didn't Black Panther try killing Klaw in public? Seriously he did try, yet in Civil War he forgave the dude who killed his dad for no reason. I still feel revenge is justified from time to time. Then again I only feel that when circumstances call for it.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 he didn't try, though we can speculate that he was about to kill him...once Klaw was immobilized, as T'challa approached, Okoye stopped him from doing anything by reminding him that the world was watching.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 he also didn't forgive Bucky for no reason, he discovered the truth about the Winter Soldier programming as well as witnessed what revenge can do to people (Steve Rogers and Tony Stark), and he wanted no parts of that.
Walker really has lost everything. I didn't see the government stripping it all from him like that. And if he keeps heading down this road, he won't have his wife much longer either. And when that happens he's going all the way to the Dark Side
@@clarradactyl7791 Completely agree that Lemar's sister wasn't feeling Walker. Probably disturbed by the video of Walker killing an unarmed man who repeatedly said he wasn't the one who killed Lemar right before being murdered.
That was Batroc speaking to Sharon over the phone on pre-arrgment to meet up with Karli, thus by paying Batroc, the only network Karli willing to connect with, is the only way Sam is able to track her down. As he and Sharon know about this, not even Torres or Bucky. 😊
I loved this episode so much. Sam has always been one of my MCU favourites but Anthony took it next level this week. Sam is so deserving and I can’t wait to see what he does in future. Especially given the evolution of his and Bucky’s friendship (even if they won’t admit they’re friends 😂) I cried at several points in this episode, and I love that they acknowledged the complexity of taking the mantle as a Black man, without that process I don’t think it could have moved forward. I’m so sad there’s only one episode to go!
Sam's new suit will not be shown in a simple scene, we will probably see him when he comes to the action in some great hero entrance. And I bet this suit has the colors of Captain America.
I loved me some Lamar. I was sad to see him go, he was a good character. The part with his parents and John was heartbreaking. My favorite part of the episode was Sam coming to the realization that he needs to be CAP and the awe-inspired looks on his nephew's faces. Inspiring young men for the good.
Things I noticed in this episode. 1) The actor playing Isaiah Bradley is the voice of Martian Manhunter, Carl Lumbly. 2) Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character is a former lover of Wolverine. So there’s two Wolverine references in this show(the first being the quick shot of The Princess Bar in Madripoor, which was co-owned by Logan at one point).
Steve was in a situation where he saw Bucky murdered in Captain America: The First Avenger. Steve did not snap. He did not rage kill. He finished the mission and brought Zola in alive. Just wanted to clarify
M-Dogg, you’re right, in fact that is the reason why I enjoy your videos, you and Soldier lay your opinion down in a way that is easy to relate to, and understand. And yes, in a situation where my best friend gets killed in front of me, could I keep from sending one of the people, who caused my friend to die, screaming into the next world?...probably, no, definitely not, and it would haunt me for the rest of my life. So, I would like to thank you two gentlemen for pointing out, the whole “He ain’t my Capt.” thing, because I said the same thing.
The actor playing John Walker is Kurt Russell's son- so badass runs in the family. It's amazing that an episode with 90% talk over action can be so engrossing. Every conversation was so damn real- particularly John meeting with Lamar's family. The hurt there was so raw. Directing and acting are stellar on this entire series.
Wyatt Russell and Carl Lumbly are so flipping talented. Lumbly scenes are so heartbreaking. He’s so subtly powerful. Russell’s whole scene w the senator was crushing. Having family and friends in the military, it hit me hard when they took away his rank and benefits. Especially after all he’d sacrificed for the country. And his delivery of “you built me”. MCU does an amazing job of making sympathetic villains. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
The moment when Sam's nephew traces the star and looks up at his uncle.. .top ten moment in the MCU to me

Walmart Cap, Walmart shield.
@@matthewdunham1689 I know, right? Party City Cap, as Black Nerd Company calls him.
lmao party city cap with his pinterest board DIY shield 😂
He was watching MacGyver
01:58 - "But then people forget that when Cap was talking to Iron Man, he said 'let's scrap'. He said 'let's go a few rounds.' He was trying to whoop his ass".
You forgot they were being directly influenced by Loki's scepter which contained the Mind Stone. Said scepter that was right there besides them as ALL of them started arguing and eventually threatening each other.
That wasn't natural Steve.
Steve also said "Put on your suit" to Tony, so they would be more less equal in strength. Even while being influenced by the scepter, Steve was still able to be fair.
yep
Also from Steve’s POV, Bucky did technically die in “The First Avenger” when he fell from the train.
I don’t recall Steve killing anyone out of rage after that happened, but few people are like him.
@@thestarkster9940 That right there is my favorite thing about that scene.
@Xbox One Tony was always an asshole, but the Mind Stone was turning it up to eleven for sure. Same with Steve, who wouldn't even consider calling him to a fight otherwise.
Sam is just great in general.
The scene when Sam and Bucky were trying to take away the shield (IMO) mirrors when they were trying to get the gauntlet from Thanos.
Yeah, that tells us a lot abt John Walker, when you look at it
Great point about how the episode was about consequences, and the aftermath of the last episode.
Plus the bonding between Bucky and Sam. 💜💙
It's nice to see people actually understanding Walker's position instead of blindly hating.
And recognizing that sympathy doesn't necessarily equal endorsement.
He was acting his ass off, too.
I understand him but I still don't like him, but that is the point of his character
Saving his comrades after going rogue is actually a dark parallel between Steve Rogers and Isaiah Bradley...Rogers got welcomed as a hero but Bradley got his ass put in jail....
Every single reactor gets so pissed about the show ending right when he opens the box lmao
I literally said “NO!” when the episode ended there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was probably the right decision though. Now, instead of seeing the new suit for the first time folded in a box, we'll see it when Sam makes a dramatic entrance to save the day.
All that was missing was "please stand by" 🤣
They HAVE to keep up t he anticipation....👍🏿
@@hunnerdayEDT 😂 no u didn’t
Look at the way walker fights with the shield he uses it like a blade to cut. Which is the polar opposite of what a shield is meant to be used, he attacks rather than protects
Ok. Great observation.
exactly! good call out 🙌🏽
Yeah, but the shield is also constantly used as a weapon to attack when it gets flung even by Steve Roger's himself. But Steve never used it to "cut", so you could argue that John Walkers fighting style is without conscience or remorse for his enemies. So He doesn't have good character like Steve or Sam.
@@Eserr7856 this too
Yea, exactly. It reflects how Walker’s interpretation of Cap is as an offensive rather than defensive weapon for the country and the world
the way this series tackles society issues man. one of the best series i've seen so far no cap
I think Isiah was talking about himself too when he said no self-respecting Black man would want to be Cap. I think way back when he thought he could be or could have been it, and that hurts too.
More like it was representing how Black Men have fought in every single war of the US proudly, yet never been treated with respect for that even...thus why would any self-respecting Black Man want to represent an America that doesn't try to represent for him.
@@Mr10before9
Get your point but there’s a whole lot of Americans that dont agree with how the gov is ran & controlled
Isiah was never asked to be Cap, he was tricked. Really, Steve Rogers was never asked to be Cap either. He was asked to be a Dancing Monkey. When he pulled off his rescue mission he had been made famous, like a movie star. People knew his face and name. Plus he had Stark and Peggy in his corner. Tommy Lee Jones never thought he was worth anything. Once he proved he was, the Gov wanted more weapons, not Caps. When we look at Walker kinda the same deal, like Isiah said. Great White Hope. They wanted a guy with medals and a sidekick that obeyed orders, they didn't want Cap. Sam had already gone on the run once and done his own thing. He was too independent for them, in addition to their ideal image.
@@markd5727 and what are those Americans doing to change that? How effective are those Americans being in that regard? We Black people can't just sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting for positive change to come for us, not while we are being murdered by civil servants with no justice to be found for us...meanwhile, constantly being promised how this time will be different, this time will be different...yet every time, elected officials offer nothing but lip service to garner our support but break every promise once they have gotten in.
We Black people have routinely been a metaphorical Captain America for this country, it is long overdue that this country be Captain America for us...before we should proudly don the red, white, and blue again.
@@Mr10before9 man could you be a bigger snowflake?
We all reverted back to our 9 year old self throwing a tantrum when the episode ended without showing us what's in the suit case
This episode was so good. The social commentary, Sam and Bucky being bros, and John finally getting his ass beat 😂. The shield's finally back in good hands.
to be fair, walker put up a good fight... but also, bucky wasn't in winter soldier mode sooo it could go both ways
@@thetypingavocado574 Yeah, if Bucky was in Winter Soldier mode that fight would’ve been quick. I remembered how fast he took that shield off Steve when they went hand to hand and was yelling at Bucky to do that same move 😂
@@thetypingavocado574 Dawg, John wouldn't have lasted ten seconds if Bucky was on his Winter Soldier shit.
@@MandatoryFruit i dont think so. Walker's serum is a perfected one.
@@mikkocruz9331 yeah, the serum was so strong that with one punch from karli, killed lemar
This is the episode where we get emotionally connected with Sam and Bucky as we were with Steve and Tony..
Marvel is doing the job✊🏿
Same, i would watch a whole episode of them just on the boat lol.
I love their chemistry, they play off each other so well.
I just had an epiphany about Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. Bare with me, i forget the doctors name but he wanted the super soldier serum to go to a good man, not a good soldier. That man was Steve Rodgers. I was one of the people who wondered about the reasoning of why Steve gave Sam the shield. Under the concept of "it takes one to know one", i believe i know the reason now. After his military service Sam became a counselor for other soldiers who was dealing with trauma and PTSD. He didnt just go "i did my service im done bye yall" he decided to help people who served but may have dealt with trauma during their military service. In addition to that in the winter soldier even Steve asked Sam "Are you sure you want to get back in" to which Dam replied. "Cap needs my help thats more than enough reason to get back in the game." I think Steve knew that Sam was willing to put his own peace and comfort aside and prioritize helping others. If anyone would know who gets the shield it would be Steve. Sam didnt see that at first but i think hes getting it now.
So let me get this right. It’s episode 5 and you’re JUST realizing this? 😅
Also apologies for the comment spam but the look on zemos face when Bucky had the gun isn’t fear. The dude was ready to die to see his family again. That’s all zemo wants next to ending all superheroes, to meet his family in the after lifr

1:32 Cap was in that same situation. Someone did kill Bucky right in front of him (not really, but Steve thought he was dead), and that was Zola and his henchmen. Cap brought them in instead of killing them.
The point of Walker in this show is that not everybody can replace Steve. That even Walker who was a war hero couldn't handle the pressure.
The people we see say they would've done things differently in Walker's shoe are clearly lying to themselves.
Damn bruh Isiah did the same thing Steve did in the first movie (saved his men) and got imprisoned for it
isiah didn't have a bucky. that's why. steve was about to be court marshaled in that scene but then bucky did the smart thing and said, "three cheers for captain america." and suddenly steve had the whole battalion on his side.
@@idleeidolon Even before Bucky did his three cheers, Col Phillips dismissed Steve’s “I’d like to surrender myself for disciplinary action” with a sniff and “That won’t be necessary.” So there is a double standard. Steve also saved a mixed group of soldiers (white, black, Asian, American, British, French, etc.) which was good PR. Whereas Isaiah saved a group of black soldiers that the US Govt was trying to hide, had made mentally unstable with their experiments, and were basically hoping they could wash their hands of by bombing the POW camp.
@Abz 3000 I’m pretty sure if Isaiah was part of the same branch as Steve and had the same commander he wouldn’t be jailed
@@idleeidolon no it’s cuz Isiah is black. simple as that
@Abz 3000 cringe. Thats exactly why this show is trash
I felt and had the exact same reaction as you guys during the Isiah Bradley and Sam Wilson talk. Such a powerful scene. I absolutely love this show. They did such an amazing job.
"They make a good team."
Spidey enters the chat.
I love how they hinted at Walker being conflicted in the fight. Deep down he was good "why are you making me do this?" Because he knew it was wrong but he was just overwhelmed. And in the beginning they almost talked him out of it but then Sam said he needs the shield, its similar to when Walker almost got through to Sam but then he said the final line. I hope they show more of how conflicted Walker is inside.
Exactly! Walker is so overwhelmed by everything. And he was really trying to be a hero at the start. I feel terrible for him.
No one was making him do shit. That's the whole point. We glorify soldiers and blame their generals, but ultimately when you pull that trigger, that was your choice, man. You put yourself in that situation. We don't have a draft any more - you signed up for this shit.
And ultimately, if they have you doing heinous shit in Afghanistan that fucked you up, you're supposed to disobey bad orders. Don't give me that whiny "I was just doing what you wanted me to do" bullshit.
@@eschatological Try saying all that to a vet with PTSD. See how well it goes over.
@@YodatheHobbit Consistently? Ep 4's ending was the first time he did something he regretted. Before that he was trying to go straight and make clean progress in his investigation, and got his ass kicked the whole way. He was pushed to this point.
You sound like someone who would bully someone else into having a breakdown, and then when they kill someone you walk off whistling like you had absolutely nothing to do with it.
@@YodatheHobbit that’s how abusers speak, “you’re making me do this”,
the thing that people are missing is this. As Captain America, you are not supposed to handle things the way any normal person would. SO you can't be held to the same standards as everyone else. Him killing someone in cold blood instead of arresting him or simply incapacitating him, shows his lack of restraint. Which can't be the quality that someone holding that shield, should have
Restraint is weakness
@G that is straight-up supervillain talk dude.
Walker continued to blame everyone but himself in this episode. Sam told Bucky to "do the work" but Walker isn't willing to do that.
Everything you say is true, but here the thing. When Walker had his soliloquy of rage, and said "You built me," I think that went over a lot of people's heads. He was an Army Ranger, a Special Ops. Having been in the Spec Ops community myself (11th Psyop Battalion), we knew the Rangers to be the Kick In The Door type of unit. TAnd you heard him and Lemar talk about all the black and grey ops they did, all the lives they took on covert ops. Basically, what Walker did to that guy, he's done before in the Army...only difference is, the government has been able to cover up and disavow all those past deeds. Here, it was VERY public, they couldn't deny anything. So they cut their losses, put it all on him.
It' no excuse for what he did, but this didn't start with him. They put the shield in the wrong guy's hands and asked him to be something other than what he was trained to be.
There's also the simple fact that he committed a war crime and should have been put in prison
How much you want to bet what was in the briefcase was not just the new wings, but the new Captain America/ Falcon outfit?
Why not both!
@Blake Curry it's not, it looks just like his comic captain america suit but difference being the logo and wings. It was leaked in a toy
and a new Redwing?
Sam was just a regular ass human, he needs a bulky suit. I hope there's Purple Fruit flower thing.
I assumed that to be so. Shuri probably made him a Vibranium suit. 🙂
When Bucky doesn't kill an accepting Zemo and drops the bullets In front of him, that's actually him signifying that he's not the murderous Winter Soldier anymore.
Also, Zemo going to the Raft may foreshadow his involvement with the Thunderbolts, as General Ross heads the Raft and he's its initiator.
I expect John to be sent to the Raft next episode and him arriving and meeting Ross being the end credits scene.
This episode was pretty fantastic, especially the opening. Walker was fighting his off against Bucky and Sam and I respect him for that, but he had that beating coming. Can't wait for that finale and to see that new Falcon suit, because you know its going to be all kinds of FIRE!!!!
I know it's not gonna happen, but I really want to see Sam Cap, Bucky, and Falcon 2.0 suited up in a shot together
The docks and sams house is beautiful and it was cute seeing Bucky smiling looking at the kids after waking up at sams, the fight between Bucky Sam and Us Agent was awesome, Sam and Bucky throwing the shield and the Sam training scene was awesome, the entire episode was amazing probably my personal favorite out of all of them
The look on sam's face when he cleaning the blood from that shield makes my heart break
Cap only wanted to “scrap” in Avengers 1 because of the influence of Loki’s scepter.
I think the scepter augmented people's dark sides. So even Steve has one. He was just able to hold it back
Don't forget in Avengers 1 the reason they were about to fight is because they were being a bit influenced by Loki's scepter
But Steve and Tony were such different people (Tony's dad who loved Steve didn't help) they really didn't like each other.
@@matthewdunham1689 yeah, but 2 people being different isn't a reason to fight

John Walker hold his own, he did did the work but Bucky is a dammm badass, Sam got me in the feels, loved his comeback in the practice training & ending scene
Sam and Bucky went straight up Dudley boys on Faux Cap lol
Gave him that Civil War beating
Looked like the Road Warriors' old Doomsday Device 😅
Nah he beat they ass
I've just decided that Henry Jackman is a master composer. Three minutes and three seconds into this episode may be the most beautiful, yet haunting and heart-rending rendition of the Civil War theme I've ever heard. Music is a character in and of itself.
Just a fun detail I noticed was the moment Bucky and Sarah first interacted. Bucky smiles and repeats her name, probably thinking back to how Steve's mom name was also Sarah.
He got vibranium wings for sure
This is episode was probably the most important thing to come out of the MCU. So in touch with reality.

Y’all’s reactions make my day, thank y’all for all y’all do.🤙🏽
I liked Sam and Bucky just working together on the boat, too. Scenes like that are important. They show us that these are real people. They're not just soldiers and superheroes.
I like to imagine Walker was hearing Lamarr's voice telling him to do the right thing during that brief moment he realizes he has to choose between avenging Lamarr or saving the people who let him down.
You guys realized how Sam ran on the right side and let his left side open during the working out montage?
NOT GONNA COMMENT ON YALL REACTION...
I must give you guys respect! Y’all clearly read the comments and weighed opinions in the balance. Real talk.....y’all are literally on another level for that. I appreciate y’all showing that we are heard. Seriously thanks man! Love y’all content. Keep it going brothers! Blessings....
I like how when Sam catches the shield, his body braces against the force. Compare to the steady effortless way Cap and Bucky catch the shield.
You can see Sam exhale and really get emotional when he opens the case at the end, and you literally know that it's a Captain America themed suit with wings to match
I freakin love this series! I kind of was hoping when Isaiah was talking about his story that we were gonna get a flash back of him in his prime, but either way it was an emotional moment!
Sam's like mcu Barack Obama, he's about to make history with that shield. Bradley is the broken past, while Sam is the new beginning, they did the politics well honestly, didn't expect that from Disney. Bradleys worldview is also executed really well, he's an old man from another era and like Sam said, anyone go through what he went they would turn out the same.
🙄
15:50 Sams "i can do this all day" moment
"a crackhead through that shit back" lool m dogg never miss. This is most definitely my favourite Captain America story, I understand it's a spin off but godam this story is actually about America. Probably one of marvel's best release.
Wakanda had better give Sam a whole vibranium suit so he won't get his bone popping like Walker in that 2 vs 1 scene and that man had serum in his blood stream.
Absolutely amazing what MARVEL is doing bruh 🤎🗣🇺🇸 This Ep. was amazing..Ep. 6 about to be ridiculous 🤣
What I'm loving about this episode is that it's showing how alike Karli and John are, even if they're fighting for different causes. Reminding us that we can believe in a cause so much, it can blind us, and we can all do things that compromise our actual cause.
Some really good shots in last two episodes:
-walker superhero landing with shield on top of the van
-low angle slow moving shot of walker with bloodied shield
-walker on his knees in this episode (idk but I think I have seen that shot maybe cover of some comic or something)
Sam looking like he got more than just some wings, He didnt smile like yeah buck got me wings, he looked at it like "o shit this is more than i thought it was" look. Designed probably from shuri he gettin jet pack wings mayb a mask goggles or mayb he might get a Black Panther style suit
Cap wouldn’t kill if he witnessed Bucky die in front of him. He’d spare them, the same way BP spared Zemo
They forgot, that Steve literally did see Bucky supposedly die right in front of him...
Didn't Black Panther try killing Klaw in public? Seriously he did try, yet in Civil War he forgave the dude who killed his dad for no reason. I still feel revenge is justified from time to time. Then again I only feel that when circumstances call for it.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 he didn't try, though we can speculate that he was about to kill him...once Klaw was immobilized, as T'challa approached, Okoye stopped him from doing anything by reminding him that the world was watching.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 he also didn't forgive Bucky for no reason, he discovered the truth about the Winter Soldier programming as well as witnessed what revenge can do to people (Steve Rogers and Tony Stark), and he wanted no parts of that.
Walker really has lost everything. I didn't see the government stripping it all from him like that. And if he keeps heading down this road, he won't have his wife much longer either. And when that happens he's going all the way to the Dark Side
Good Point
agreed 🙌🏽 idk if it was just me, but the way lemar’s sister looked at walker when he was sharing “what happened”, it looked like she didn’t trust him
@@clarradactyl7791 Completely agree that Lemar's sister wasn't feeling Walker. Probably disturbed by the video of Walker killing an unarmed man who repeatedly said he wasn't the one who killed Lemar right before being murdered.
The Dark Reign. He could be apart of the Dark Avengers eventually.
You didn't see the government abandoning him? Sharon told you they would do that.
That comversation with Isaih... wow.
Fun fact: that's the VA for Martian Manhunter in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
That was Batroc speaking to Sharon over the phone on pre-arrgment to meet up with Karli, thus by paying Batroc, the only network Karli willing to connect with, is the only way Sam is able to track her down. As he and Sharon know about this, not even Torres or Bucky. 😊
I loved this episode so much. Sam has always been one of my MCU favourites but Anthony took it next level this week. Sam is so deserving and I can’t wait to see what he does in future. Especially given the evolution of his and Bucky’s friendship (even if they won’t admit they’re friends 😂) I cried at several points in this episode, and I love that they acknowledged the complexity of taking the mantle as a Black man, without that process I don’t think it could have moved forward. I’m so sad there’s only one episode to go!
The fight in the beginning of the episode had my blood pressure up!😂😂
Sam's new suit will not be shown in a simple scene, we will probably see him when he comes to the action in some great hero entrance. And I bet this suit has the colors of Captain America.
It does, the suit is a lot more white than Steve's version but it still looks great.
I loved me some Lamar. I was sad to see him go, he was a good character. The part with his parents and John was heartbreaking. My favorite part of the episode was Sam coming to the realization that he needs to be CAP and the awe-inspired looks on his nephew's faces. Inspiring young men for the good.
Drew: a crackhead throw that shit back, i died LMFAO😂
Things I noticed in this episode.
1) The actor playing Isaiah Bradley is the voice of Martian Manhunter, Carl Lumbly.
2) Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character is a former lover of Wolverine. So there’s two Wolverine references in this show(the first being the quick shot of The Princess Bar in Madripoor, which was co-owned by Logan at one point).
Steve was in a situation where he saw Bucky murdered in Captain America: The First Avenger. Steve did not snap. He did not rage kill. He finished the mission and brought Zola in alive.
Just wanted to clarify
Been waiting on this one ALL DAY!
M-Dogg, you’re right, in fact that is the reason why I enjoy your videos, you and Soldier lay your opinion down in a way that is easy to relate to, and understand. And yes, in a situation where my best friend gets killed in front of me, could I keep from sending one of the people, who caused my friend to die, screaming into the next world?...probably, no, definitely not, and it would haunt me for the rest of my life. So, I would like to thank you two gentlemen for pointing out, the whole “He ain’t my Capt.” thing, because I said the same thing.
The actor playing John Walker is Kurt Russell's son- so badass runs in the family.
It's amazing that an episode with 90% talk over action can be so engrossing. Every conversation was so damn real- particularly John meeting with Lamar's family. The hurt there was so raw. Directing and acting are stellar on this entire series.
Wyatt Russell and Carl Lumbly are so flipping talented. Lumbly scenes are so heartbreaking. He’s so subtly powerful. Russell’s whole scene w the senator was crushing. Having family and friends in the military, it hit me hard when they took away his rank and benefits. Especially after all he’d sacrificed for the country. And his delivery of “you built me”. MCU does an amazing job of making sympathetic villains. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This series is so well made. Fucking love it
Fam. They were only arguing in the avengers scene because of Loki n the staff🤘🏾
Can we talk about how much of a boss Carl Lumbly is for his portrayal of Isaiah Bradley?
