As Erskine said, Steve Rogers was a weak man who knew the value of strength and compassion. With Walker, we see what would have happened if the U.S. chose a “perfect soldier” as their first test subject.

They’ve done a pretty good job of showing that Walker is (at the very least) hotheaded and impulsive and every other episode has someone saying something like “the serum doesn’t just affect you physically, it effects you as a person and heightens who you are... the good attributes and the bad attributes” so the setup…
You obviously haven’t seen the better HS Marching Bands in this country.
I mean, I would say that’s as much, if not more, of an indictment of the government then of the soldier. Cap’s entire arc was about how he went from a soldier in the US army to a man of conscience, which put him in direct conflict with those power structures. It stands to reason that the government would choose…
No, he’s not stupid and you don’t get into or out of West Point by being stupid. And three CMHs basically makes him the closest thing to a Super Soldier ever produced without serum.
Then Dwayne McDuffie was like “uh hey maybe let’s not call a Black dude Bucky” and Battlestar was born!
He’s not stupid, though. He’s shown as being very good with the shield. Likely a heroic and worthy soldier in most respects. But is that enough to carry on Cap’s legacy, especially in the 21st century? That’s the question the show’s asking, it seems, and it’s a good one.
It’s worth mentioning that, in the comics, Isaiah Bradley was the first black Captain America.
We don’t know who’s money it was, and what it will fund. This is the first episode, not the first act. Not everything will be explained in the first 30 minutes.
Correction: he used to have super strength, then a temptress cut his hair, which robbed him of his strength, and then she handed him over to the Philistines.
Lol, the Asian woman’s line about there not being a name for a parents who lose a child, is lifted word for word from Six Feet Under s01e06, when Brenda says the exact same line after hearing about the death of a 6yrs.
Not to be all “nuh-uh” but that’s incorrect. When Cap rescues Bucky from Hydra in the first movie, he’s already been experimented on, though he’s not sure what that was all about. In The Winter Soldier we find out that he survived falling off a cliff and being frozen after that, and he’s also clearly a match for Cap…
Bucky does have superpowers now, I believe; he’s got HYDRA’s version of the serum.
That boat is absolutely not going to exist by the end of this series. I don’t know if it will be intentionally sacrificed by Sam or not, but with how much time he spent fighting for it I will be shocked if it survives. It might as well be called the S.S. I’m Retiring in Two Weeks.
I thought Bucky took some version of the Super Soldier Serum so that he was almost as strong and fast as Cap.
Well, Ant-Man stomped on the entirety of Black Dwarf in the big Endgame fight, so it might be the first face-only stomping?
I don’t think that’s an accident; as the difference in reactions between Sam and Sarah show us after the bank scene, his time in the service might have put some blinders on him when it comes to systemic issues.
Weird that a show that seems to be going for finally discussing racism in the MCU precedes it by Sam essentially saying that things that make some people’s lives better will always make other people’s lives worse, which is literally the bullshit spewed by white supremacists justifying their belief that treating…
What was confusing about the Switzerland sequence? Torres had said he’d keep tabs on the Flag Smashers online presence, which led him to an apparent flash mob to cover a bank heist. I was only half paying attention through the sequence and it made sense.
