@Daniel S. John killed a murderous terrorist super soldier who had just tried to kill John (by throwing a stone column at him) literally minutes before and held John back while his best friend was killed. Not saying John was right, but I’m tired of people acting like John killed an innocent 5 year old or something. He killed an international terrorist responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people
I liked him from the start he's a good man,an honourable soldier and he's his own man he's better off as US Agent than captain america anyway he deserves better if he knew Steve personally like Sam and Bucky and didn't follow the rules of engagement then I'd 100% root for him as Cap
Before I watched this show, I knew a lot of fans were already hating on John Walker. So I thought I was gonna feel the same way. But ironically when I watched the show, I really admired John Walker and considered him my favourite character of the entire show. I really enjoyed his story arc and I even felt a lot of sympathy for him at some point during the show. I’m honestly excited to see him again as the U.S. Agent in the future.
I only hate his mask put a beard in it or a redesign or perhaps a full face mask anything is better than the current look it makes him look a bit to funny
@Joey Style And what’s worse is that Sam and Bucky are both military men. And Sam’s profession in Winter Soldier is literally as a therapist for soldiers that left the military or needed therapy. Bucky and Sam are so damn childish in the show
Nobody talks about how uncomfortable Walker is in this interview, his laughter is fake, he is playing a public persona/facade, and when she brings up his resume and his medals, he is clearly reluctant to talk about it so he tries to direct the answers elsewhere about doing his job as Cap and wanting to keep people safe. Also, just a comics connection that most people don’t notice, Walker saying that he wants to make people feel safe because Steve was someone who could do that, how Steve gave him hope and how he feels like a brother - Walker was left behind in a burning house when he was a kid and imagined Steve/Cap rescuing him, it turned out to be his older brother Mike who got him out, Mike later died overseas, killed in action.
I like that John Walker isn't Steve Rogers but he's also not some one note bully that got his powers because of his talents. Yes he is talented and yes thats why they chose him unlike Steve. But deep down hes also a good man trying to do whats right. 1:37 I liked that what I was doing would help people feel safe. Lot of places for his character to go, I'm so excited to see especially with his recent descent down to madness, I wanna see how they redeem him
@@the_real_lego_commander_cody And it would be a great idea if someone where to manipulate that need to protect others. Push him to the edge once more, and create one of two things. An intriguing anti-hero, or a interesting antagonist.
Series writers: He's a decorated war hero, he saves lives, fights against terrorists, is humble in the beginning and offers his help to Sam and Bucky more than once. Also writers: He's the villain. Not actual terrorist chick.
Also writers: let’s let the stars of the show treat him like crap, even though he’s a fellow soldier who clearly needs help, and have them help the chick who’s responsible for his friends death.
The fact that he has 3 Medals of Honor shows that he has the heart to be Capt. America, just not the right temperament. Getting one you have to show you're not just willing to risk certain death if it meant saving or protecting people on the battlefield but also act instantly without regard for your own safety.
I had not thought about the temperament, I think it makes sense what you say. At least in a good degree cause he's different than Steve. What I would say is that the weight of the burden was too much. All the expectations and outside influence was too much to carry. Which is also different what Steve had to deal with, after he became Capt. America he was pretty much celebrated but John had to carry all that expectation after what Steve was.
I would say it was not only the burden of being Captain America but also being like Steve Rogers... And also the military expectations and orders. More than a hero they wanted a soldier.

@@reykhan2453 he shouldnt have killed that flag smasher , even in the comics that were based for the series Jhon made the same mistake on killing Professor Power who already surrender (a minor supervillain ) Standing over Professor Power's lifeless body, Walker realizes what he's done, lamenting to Battlestar that he went "too far," and that murder is "not what Captain America should do." In the series he tried to justify himself and other by blaming THE WRONG GUY , so yeah he made mistakes , one of them also is taking the serum cause THE VIEWERS (meaning US) know that the serum can f*ck3d up your brain if you are not the right person, Dr Erskine knew that , f*ck even Zemo knew that
I genuinely feel bad for him. He was doing well in life and was offered to be Captain America. Unfortunately, that was what that sort of stained his reputation. I mean yes he killed a guy and was a bit obsessed with the shield. But none of it would have happen if he wasn't given the role. I just feel bad if I were in his shoes.
Yea what else would you say if you were being offered the role of protector for an entire nation?! To give people hope and a sense of security. Be the guy that people can sleep safely at night knowing is watching over them. From John's resume, he was already doing that. It's a lot of responsibility, but as he said, it was an honour to be even considered for the role. And he played it well. I'd like to have seen what he could do with it to be honest.
I mean he was just holding onto his government issued gear,any soldier would try and resist like that if 2 independent military contractors tried to take his rifle. One of the things they spend the most time drilling into soldiers is don’t misplace or lose your weapon
I can't imagine what happened for John Walker to get 3 medals of honor and still be alive. Steve Rogers got a medal for Valor when he save 163 people as Captain America.
I don’t understand how people hate John Walker. He’s arguably the second best things to come from this show, first being Zemo. And the way Sam and Bucky treat him makes me hate them more.
I agree that Tom walker is a really deep character and I feel bad for him as he really did want to help. I get Sam and Bucky’s perspective however. It must be painful for them to see caps role filled so easily, so I understand why they’d treat him poorly
People don't know the comics. He's a more complex character than Steve Rogers. Wyatt Russell is portraying him very masterfully and we have not seem his complexities at their best... Or worst, depending on how you you view it
@@Harrydoc02 remember what Abraham irskene said in the first avenger: the serum enhances what’s inside good becomes great and bad becomes worse. He wasn’t just talking about morality but also physical attributes
It's so hilarious seeing fans react to John Walker, now everyone is saying he is no Steve Rogers, and that Chris Evans is the only Captain America. Bitch Please, everyone was saying, "he is such a stick in the mud", "He is so self righteous", "He is a nazi", "He should have told Tony instead of defending his war buddy" "why is he playing Captain America when he is already the Human Torch"
It's funny for me see the hypocrisy in the people that hating him the first time, laughing at him, mocking him, just for not being Steve Rogers, cause his never was a bad guy, not in the episode 2, not in the episode 3, he just wanted to be a good Captain America and keep the Steve legacy, and now, after episode 6, all that people love him, it's hilarious and shameful
Wyatt Russel is killing it. The reason I love his character is because of the main emotion he expresses: Anger. I think anger is probably the best emotion one can express while acting. And the court scene is just... amazing.
In all honesty, John was probably the best candidate to be captain America after steve retired. sam didn't want it bucky is still not there mentally and this guy covers basically all the bases has a military background he has been training his entire life he is a proven hero and will always try to do the right thing had sam and bucky worked with him from the beginning and guided him with their experience things might have gone another way his friend might still be alive he might have been able to be the symbol the people needed.
even though you all may hate john walker for being captain america but just imagine the hard work and patience it took him to get that shield it's not an ordinary feat
Honestly would love to see Walker walk between the lines of what _is and isn’t_ Captain America. He wasn’t the best Captain America, but Walker was trying his best. To see his descent and slight redemption was cool, but I’d like to explore those flaws of his in the future as *US Agent.*
Honestly in the end I was expecting them to send him to Raft but it’s the opposite I’m pretty damn happy about it after the shit he went through, he still have someone he cares about aside him and is no longer under the pressure of cap’s figure
Don’t know, can’t say I see why everyone hates him, seems like a good kid. Obviously not Steve Rogers, which they KEEP trying to tell you guys in the show, but it’s no use. The feedback was the same when Chris Evans started out as Captain, give it time.
@@pyropro8027 Holy crap, I just realized that John Walker was Zook (the quarterback) from 22 Jump Street when I first saw TFATWS. I knew he looked familiar.
Honestly I was thinking he would turn into a villain after everything that happened to him, but he didn’t, he is a really good man, if I were him that would literally my villain origin story
I hate how the show portrayed john as an asshole for killing a terrorist, even though the terrorist killed his best friend in front of him I mean if you watch someone kill your best friend in front of your eyes I’m pretty sure no one would shame you for killing them in revenge unless that person is some pretentious rich boy who thinks violence is always bad no matter what
This interview speaks volumes of the man. He knows he has alot to live up to and he tried to humble himself. But did anybody else notice how his smile sort of fades when she brings up his accomplishments. I think he was did dirty by falcon and bucky
His smile fades because he doesn’t want to talk about those “accomplishments” because he doesn’t see them as accomplishments. To him, they’re reminders of his failure. Things went wrong, people died, and he couldn’t bring everyone home alive. No medal is gonna wash away the survivor’s guilt.
I’m just loving this character! At first he looks like a replacement Captain America but underneath, he’s hiding his dark side and I’m excited to see what happens with him in The Thunderbolts movie.
Man I can't get over how cool that uniform is,people can say what they will John would've been a great Cap if he personally knew Steve it's not his fault he was literary under pressure he didn't ask to be Cap and I don't know why everyone's hating on him for killing that terrorist in public he was a murdering terrorist and needed to be put down simple as I don't care what your reasons are,there's no excuse for killing innocent people John Walker is a good man he just believes in the system and follows they're rules too much but he didn't deserve all of the back lash and hate
A lot of ppl never gave him a chance but I never hated John. Ppl really had no real reason to hate him except for our protagonists hating him. John was nice with that shield too and he had a cool suit.
He started out generally likeable and yeah, Sam and Bucky are babies about it to start with. But ultimately he was installed as a puppet superhero for the government and he wasn't cut out for the Avengers' world. In hindsight I feel bad for the guy.
OK, so, WHY was he out to be a villain? In my book, he's fucking rad, will be a badass super soldier, a badass Thunderbolt and a MASSIVE asset to the avengers
And he ended up being one of the best characters after end game. Sad that they can't even do something like this right, where I (and a lot of others) found sam and bucky to be super childish in this show. Walker was an actual hero, and a very likable one. Not saying he didn't have flaws, but thats what makes a good character. Not to mention his "flaw" isn't as bad as thwy tried to make it as he killed a terrorist who just tried to kill him, succeed with his buddy, and helped blow up a building. Man there was so much wrong with this show but walker was not one of them.
Yeah they present it in the show like he's doing something immoral, but this was an enhanced individual who had just killed an American serviceman infront of him while resisting arrest, was wanted in connection with a terrorist act and was running towards a crowd of civilians, okay it wasn't the cleanest kill, but it's justifiable and honeslty how many guys did Sam smoke at the start of the series in that chopper, pretty sure the guy he threw out wasn't any less of a mess.
Did we watch the same show? Sam literally retired the mantle in the first episode. It took the whole damn show to cinvince him to take it. And it's not that John didn't want the mantle, he did. He was just afraid he wouldn't live up to it.
i liked john walker but i didnt like how he was during the middle of the series everytime he said "i am captain america" cause hes not and no one will be except for steve rogers
Same here they never gave him a chance. And who are they to judge walker, I started to not like bucky and falcon after this show and became a supporter of walker
John Walker was definitely my favorite even though I’m sure that was unintentional on the writer’s part being that they tried pretty hard to make him a bad guy while also trying to make that psychopath chick a tragic anti hero hoping that the audience would sympathize with her lol.
I feel like John wanted to do good, but his psychological was not Very good, and he tried to have Sam and Bucky as allies, without giving them time to digest the situation of someone taking their friend's mantle. It also did not help Sam and Bucky were facing a lot of problems at that time. And he was kind of delusional: He considered Steve a brother, even If he never even saw or met him in person. I think that, had he tried to be less Captain America and more of himself, maybe things would have turned out better, and he could have been allies with Sam and Bucky.
He wasn’t delusional because he said Steve felt like a brother, it’s not a serious thing, he meant it like a brother in arms. Soldiers often feel a connection and comraderie with each other due to common experiences.
He wasn't really a villain. Worst thing he did was kill a guy with the shield but even then the guy was a terrorist. No different from cap killing nazis
Probably not. But I've always felt that had Frank not gotten screwed over by Rawlins then he could've received the same level of praise that John had at the beginning of this show.
Why did everybody get pissed off that John became captain America? If anything they should be mad that Sam have the shielded away like it was nothing although Steve told sam that the shield was now his. And John is actually a good and entertaining character. If it wasn’t for John this series wouldn’t be so entertaining
It's a shame people hate john so much, in reality he did nothing wrong. Actually Steve was made captain America for the same reason as John, as an icon and a symbol.
Bugs me how he is able to be so accurate with the shield without any enhancements. In the comics, throwing the shield with Cap level accuracy is something very few can do like Hawkeye and Bucky, Sam can't do it particularly well to this day. In the MCU, Cap has to perfect his technique throughout the movies to get it to come back to him and he progressively masters it. John Walker, without the serum or any enhancements, can snipe with it and have it return right to him instantly. Pretty bs.
Honestly John got a bad rap- he was chosen, he didn’t take the shield. The way Sam and Bucky treated him actually kind of pissed me off. Glad he’s got a second chance at the US Agent.

That's because she knows her husband is a good person. Walker also loves her a lot.

Yeah the people is so hypocrite, especially "the fans"
True
I wasn't like that I love both John Walker and Steve Rogers
@@andrewwilliamomliejr3972 me too
@@andrewwilliamomliejr3972 yuh, other fans r just toxic af ._.
"Off the charts in every category. Speed, endurance, intelligence"
He was peak when he took the serum. He must better than Steve was.
It's funny for me see the hypocrisy in the people that hating him the first time, laughing at him, mocking him, just for not being Steve Rogers, cause his never was a bad guy, not in the episode 2, not in the episode 3, he just wanted to be a good Captain America and keep the Steve legacy, and now, after episode 6, all that people love him, it's hilarious and shameful
I liked him from the start.
Wyatt Russel is killing it. The reason I love his character is because of the main emotion he expresses: Anger. I think anger is probably the best emotion one can express while acting. And the court scene is just... amazing.
Go
People are slow dude, a lot of em are
"we must respect our veterans!!"
sam wilson, literally a VA counselor: beat the sit out of john walker
In all honesty, John was probably the best candidate to be captain America after steve retired. sam didn't want it bucky is still not there mentally and this guy covers basically all the bases has a military background he has been training his entire life he is a proven hero and will always try to do the right thing had sam and bucky worked with him from the beginning and guided him with their experience things might have gone another way his friend might still be alive he might have been able to be the symbol the people needed.
even though you all may hate john walker for being captain america
but just imagine the hard work and patience it took him to get that shield it's not an ordinary feat
He was the best part of this show
0:21 Literally every American ever
Honestly would love to see Walker walk between the lines of what _is and isn’t_ Captain America.
He wasn’t the best Captain America, but Walker was trying his best. To see his descent and slight redemption was cool, but I’d like to explore those flaws of his in the future as *US Agent.*
Both falcon and the winter soldier hated him before he even committed the murder. That's unfair.
I like how realistic marvel tried to make the mcu as you see in these moments
This moment looks extremely real
John walker has the best captain America suit hands down
Honestly in the end I was expecting them to send him to Raft but it’s the opposite I’m pretty damn happy about it after the shit he went through, he still have someone he cares about aside him and is no longer under the pressure of cap’s figure
3 medals of honor. You'd think he wouldn't be an Avenger already.
I would have expected him being in the special task group of S.H.I.E.L.D. but knowing walker he probably would turn down the offer
Lamar and John’s wife are such g’s there so happy to see John up there and they always stick by his side. Such a shame they killed Lamar
Holy crap, I just realized that John Walker was Zook (the quarterback) from 22 Jump Street when I first saw TFATWS. I knew he looked familiar.
Don’t know, can’t say I see why everyone hates him, seems like a good kid. Obviously not Steve Rogers, which they KEEP trying to tell you guys in the show, but it’s no use. The feedback was the same when Chris Evans started out as Captain, give it time.
Man Zook's career really took off since he left football
Thank god I’m not the only one that remembers his role in that film
His future so bright he has to wear sunglasses
@@Souchi-ito I saw what you did there.

5 years ago: Captain America is a fugitive from justice
5 years later: The World needs a Captain America
I didn’t like Walker to much at the start of the series but now he might be one of my favorite characters. Along with Zemo.
Honestly I was thinking he would turn into a villain after everything that happened to him, but he didn’t, he is a really good man, if I were him that would literally my villain origin story
The best character of the series
Its sad how people treated him like shit both within the show and in the real world. Hopefully, we still see more of him in the future.
3 years later " what happened to bulletproof" 😅
He is already a top soldier even bfo he got superstrength...
JOHN WALKER WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A SHED.
WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS.
totally not Tony.
They shoulda brought back Obadiah, to be a villain in Spiderman. :(
John- *breathes*
Bucky- you little shit...
I never hated on him
Also, Wyatt Russell would make a great Duke Nukem.
*John Walker exists
The show: Hate him pls
Fans: No I don't think I will
Exactly.
Woke bastards tried lol
Ngl he was probably the only reason I kept watching the show other than Zemo of course
I hate how the show portrayed john as an asshole for killing a terrorist, even though the terrorist killed his best friend in front of him I mean if you watch someone kill your best friend in front of your eyes I’m pretty sure no one would shame you for killing them in revenge unless that person is some pretentious rich boy who thinks violence is always bad no matter what
Idk if it portrayed him as an asshole as much as just the fact that hes not as good a man as cap was
They tried so hard to make this dude the villain of the show when he was in reality the only one trying to fight and kill literal terrorists 😭
i am literally crying in this video. I just miss the old avengers
Have they taken the movies off of Disney+?
@@Guest10101 what? Of course no
Keep crying stan
Same, there isn’t gunna the nice classic 6 all group up anymore. It’s so spread out
Time to move on bro
This interview speaks volumes of the man. He knows he has alot to live up to and he tried to humble himself. But did anybody else notice how his smile sort of fades when she brings up his accomplishments. I think he was did dirty by falcon and bucky
His smile fades because he doesn’t want to talk about those “accomplishments” because he doesn’t see them as accomplishments. To him, they’re reminders of his failure. Things went wrong, people died, and he couldn’t bring everyone home alive. No medal is gonna wash away the survivor’s guilt.
I’m just loving this character! At first he looks like a replacement Captain America but underneath, he’s hiding his dark side and I’m excited to see what happens with him in The Thunderbolts movie.
Man I can't get over how cool that uniform is,people can say what they will John would've been a great Cap if he personally knew Steve it's not his fault he was literary under pressure he didn't ask to be Cap and I don't know why everyone's hating on him for killing that terrorist in public he was a murdering terrorist and needed to be put down simple as I don't care what your reasons are,there's no excuse for killing innocent people John Walker is a good man he just believes in the system and follows they're rules too much but he didn't deserve all of the back lash and hate
A lot of ppl never gave him a chance but I never hated John. Ppl really had no real reason to hate him except for our protagonists hating him. John was nice with that shield too and he had a cool suit.
He started out generally likeable and yeah, Sam and Bucky are babies about it to start with. But ultimately he was installed as a puppet superhero for the government and he wasn't cut out for the Avengers' world. In hindsight I feel bad for the guy.
OK, so, WHY was he out to be a villain?
In my book, he's fucking rad, will be a badass super soldier, a badass Thunderbolt and a MASSIVE asset to the avengers
And he ended up being one of the best characters after end game. Sad that they can't even do something like this right, where I (and a lot of others) found sam and bucky to be super childish in this show.
Walker was an actual hero, and a very likable one. Not saying he didn't have flaws, but thats what makes a good character. Not to mention his "flaw" isn't as bad as thwy tried to make it as he killed a terrorist who just tried to kill him, succeed with his buddy, and helped blow up a building. Man there was so much wrong with this show but walker was not one of them.
Yeah they present it in the show like he's doing something immoral, but this was an enhanced individual who had just killed an American serviceman infront of him while resisting arrest, was wanted in connection with a terrorist act and was running towards a crowd of civilians, okay it wasn't the cleanest kill, but it's justifiable and honeslty how many guys did Sam smoke at the start of the series in that chopper, pretty sure the guy he threw out wasn't any less of a mess.
The longer I watch Wyatt on screen, the more I see his father, Kurt.
Wait a second…😳🤯😱, John Walker and Ego are related?
@@ricardoortiz4960Yup. Kurt even named his son Wyatt in honor of Wyatt Earp.
Is it just me or does John Walker remind me of that quarterback from 22 Jump Street?
Unlike Sam, who wanted to be the next Cap, Walker didn’t ask for the title, but accepted it nonetheless.
Sam didnt want to have the shield either at first. He denied it at the start of the show. It was only at the end that he accepted his role as new Cap.
Did we watch the same show? Sam literally retired the mantle in the first episode. It took the whole damn show to cinvince him to take it. And it's not that John didn't want the mantle, he did. He was just afraid he wouldn't live up to it.
@@bryanrogers5648people got upset for him killing a...*checks note terrorist.………what a self righteous plot
i liked john walker but i didnt like how he was during the middle of the series everytime he said "i am captain america" cause hes not and no one will be except for steve rogers
He was humble from the start answered a bit different but he just got pushed to the edge that's all like any other super hero.
If marvel rebooted captain America, he should be Steve Rogers.
I hated Sam and Bucky after watching this show. The way they treated John was vile
Same here they never gave him a chance. And who are they to judge walker, I started to not like bucky and falcon after this show and became a supporter of walker
I agree. During this interview John spoke fondly of Steve and respected him. Also he was being humble. I wish Sam and Bucky were able to see that.
Great hero
Loved this guy
John Walker was definitely my favorite even though I’m sure that was unintentional on the writer’s part being that they tried pretty hard to make him a bad guy while also trying to make that psychopath chick a tragic anti hero hoping that the audience would sympathize with her lol.
can't wait to see him back on Thunderbolts
He really was a cool guy, but then he kept being treated like crap.... At least he didn't go full on evil by the end of it.
His heart was in the right place. Just got caught in the wrong situation.
I thought he was ignorant but after the final episode he's rlly sweet and cute dude ngl, feel bad for him
Jon walker really deserved that shield more then falcon
I feel like John wanted to do good, but his psychological was not Very good, and he tried to have Sam and Bucky as allies, without giving them time to digest the situation of someone taking their friend's mantle. It also did not help Sam and Bucky were facing a lot of problems at that time. And he was kind of delusional: He considered Steve a brother, even If he never even saw or met him in person. I think that, had he tried to be less Captain America and more of himself, maybe things would have turned out better, and he could have been allies with Sam and Bucky.
He wasn’t delusional because he said Steve felt like a brother, it’s not a serious thing, he meant it like a brother in arms. Soldiers often feel a connection and comraderie with each other due to common experiences.
Bucky and Sam were envious and jealous of Walker
He wasn’t a bad guy. Just had bad luck
He wasn't really a villain. Worst thing he did was kill a guy with the shield but even then the guy was a terrorist. No different from cap killing nazis
Wonder if John met Frank Castle over there.
Oddly enough I think frank and John would get along great
@Daredevil the punisher
Probably not. But I've always felt that had Frank not gotten screwed over by Rawlins then he could've received the same level of praise that John had at the beginning of this show.
My favorite
Why did everybody get pissed off that John became captain America? If anything they should be mad that Sam have the shielded away like it was nothing although Steve told sam that the shield was now his. And John is actually a good and entertaining character. If it wasn’t for John this series wouldn’t be so entertaining
It's a shame people hate john so much, in reality he did nothing wrong. Actually Steve was made captain America for the same reason as John, as an icon and a symbol.
John deserved better
Bugs me how he is able to be so accurate with the shield without any enhancements. In the comics, throwing the shield with Cap level accuracy is something very few can do like Hawkeye and Bucky, Sam can't do it particularly well to this day. In the MCU, Cap has to perfect his technique throughout the movies to get it to come back to him and he progressively masters it. John Walker, without the serum or any enhancements, can snipe with it and have it return right to him instantly. Pretty bs.
Poor Jonh walker
amazing actor
I actually like John I mean he just wanted to keep America safe but Sam and Bucky just gave him crap and I don’t like them for that
The actual Captain America
Dude was amazing as this role
Fun Fact: Ego from GOTG Vol. 2 (Kurt Russell), and John Walker (Wyatt Russell) are related in real life.
Fr he was like the only good character in that whole show
Imagine what John Walker would have been like if he took Compound V instead of the Super Soldier Serum?
Looking forward to seeing him in Thunderbolts*
The writers hated him, he deserved better
Honestly John got a bad rap- he was chosen, he didn’t take the shield. The way Sam and Bucky treated him actually kind of pissed me off. Glad he’s got a second chance at the US Agent.
He is the best captain America
