Major spoilers for Falcon and Winter Soldier Episode 4 ahead. Give yourself a moment to process all that’s happened recently on the Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe series, and then let’s dive into it, spoilers and all. With so much in the air following Episode 3 - the return of Sharon Carter, the debut of Dancing Zemo, the presence of Ayo from Wakanda - we should be really careful about what we say next.
Finishing that sentence spoils Episode 4 of Falcon and Winter Soldier, doesn’t it? But if there were any lingering doubts about Walker - that he’s not so bad, that he should just get a chance to prove himself? Those doubts are as dead as. Walker’s worthiness (or lack thereof) in the shadow of Steve Rogers was already plain as day from the moment he arrived in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, met with instant disapproval from Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. Walker wears the mantle, Walker wields the shield, but he’s nothing like the man who wore them first.
