![]() We have no doubt he has more of a role to play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (whether it’s in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier or another movie/TV show), but to have his role reduced to being carted away by the Dora Milaje seems a waste of a character who tends to be the best thing about every scene he’s in.īucky needs to call in some favors from the Dora Milaje in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5. So it’s a big shame that he’s so marginalized in ‘Truth’. Helmut Zemo is clearly speaking sense when he says she’s been completely radicalized. Hurting the powers-that-be now seems more important to her than helping people in need – to the point she’s prepared to join forces with known criminals like the returning Georges Batroc. ![]() While The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has – up to now – made great efforts to emphasize the Flag Smashers’ humanitarian motives, here Karli starts morphing into a more two-dimensional villain – and she’s much less interesting as a result. Karli Morgenthau is also struggling to stay on the right side of the Serum’s corrupting influence. Especially now that the incredibly charismatic Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has paid him a visit, seemingly looking for a way to exploit his unique set of skills. Now disillusioned with the army, but still obsessed with fulfilling his calling as Captain America, Walker may be more dangerous than ever. When the finely tuned human weapon malfunctions, is it the fault of the Super-Soldier himself, or the institution that created him? As he tells the tribunal, he’s spent his entire life living by military mandates, only doing what they’ve asked of him – and doing it well. In fact, it’s only his exemplary record that saves him from a court martial.Īnd yet, despite the many questionable decisions he’s made in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – and his false claims that the man he murdered was Lemar Hoskins’ killer – you still sympathize with the way he’s been treated. It turns out that Captain America killing a foreign national in a public place is kind of a big deal – enough, in fact, to see Sam and Bucky removed from the investigation – and Walker finds himself given an “other than honorable discharge” from a US Army he’s served with distinction. Inevitably, this means the book being thrown at Walker with all the intensity of a flying shield. John Walker isn't going to come in quietly in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5 mid-credits explained.How to watch the Marvel movies in order.Madame Hydra in Falcon and Winter Soldier explained.Like the series premiere, ‘Truth’ gets the action out of its system early, shifting gears to get inside the psyches of the human beings who inhabit superhero uniforms. ![]() That it comes to Sam using his jet pack to forcibly remove Walker’s shield – snapping the Cap wannabe’s arm in the process – sums up a fight scene that manages to stand out even in a show that’s consistently raised the bar for blockbuster action on TV. ![]() Walker comes perilously close to showing that shield-in-forehead might become his signature move, while Sam and Bucky’s technical augmentations are pushed beyond their limits – Walker even unceremoniously tears the wings from Falcon’s back. It’s a brilliantly dirty scrap, expertly choreographed to showcase three fighters who don’t know the meaning of holding back. This follow-up wastes little time dealing with the aftermath, as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes attempt to apprehend Walker in an abandoned warehouse – for some reason, this show has a bizarre obsession with warehouses. We saw last week what can happen when great power isn’t matched by great responsibility, as Captain America 2.0, John Walker, brutally murdered a Flag Smasher, instantly transforming Cap’s shield into a blood-soaked symbol of oppression. ![]()
