Right so I’m going to go ahead and retcon his ENTIRE endgame appearance ![]() It means something to wield the shield, and it's doubtful that John Walker will ever be able to ascend to Steve Rogers' level to honestly earn it as Marvel's Falcon & The Winter Soldier continues on Disney Plus.How do you think Steves ending should have gone? That's not the truth of who Captain America really is. Unfortunately, this concept is something that John Walker is unable to achieve with his current state as a people pleasing, smiling and waving government operative.

However, Rogers has always sought to fight for American ideals. He's still under the direction of oversight of the US government, and they tell him where to go and who to help according to their agendas, all of which Steve Rogers was vehemently against.īasically, John Walker's Captain America is what the U.S government originally wished Rogers would have been: a hero they could direct and control to further its interests and those of the country.

Likewise, despite the fact that the government is allowing Walker to go out into the field in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, the motives couldn't be more different from Rogers' own.
