The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s fourth episode had a chilling callback to a pivotal moment from Captain America: Civil War. Most MCU fans are still buzzing about the conclusion to this week’s entry with John Walker crossing an unforgivable line. On Twitter, @bby_native posted the image that has been making the rounds on social media deepening the moment. You see, John Walker killed a Flag Smasher after they murdered Battlestar. But, Steve Rogers found restraint in a similar situation when Tony Stark injured Bucky. The series has been building up parallels between the two for this entire run, and this just cemented that the two are fundamentally different. Could Captain America have been dusting people off back in his earlier Avengers days? Probably. But, he chooses not to, and that’s why he’s an inspirational hero for so many. Poor Wyatt Russell has done a terrific job of playing the antihero, and now it’s easy to imagine he’ll only get darker from here.
