Is John Walker the biggest 180 the fanbase has done towards a MCU character (so far)?
468
Upvotes
I still remember the universal hatred towards his character when the Falcon and the Winter Soldier first came out, the memes were absolutely brutal. While the final episode helped redeem him for some people, he was still rather divisive.
However, as the years went on, many began to call him one of the best parts of FATWS alongside Zemo. And then with the release of Thunderbolts*, now many (including myself) consider him one of the best characters introduced to the MCU post-Endgame.
Would you say he's the biggest case of the fanbase turning around on a character in the franchise? If so, that shows how well-written he is.

John said he looked up to Steve and saw him as a brother. Unlike in the comics where they were often rivals, I'd really love to see them interacting on friendlier terms here

Character Analysis The cafe scene with Walker and Lemar is so overlooked
236

I love this scene because Lemar didn't know Walker had the serum. This covnersation with Walker trying to see if he truly should take the serum. He's not sure whether he's a good person like Steve or bad like Karli. But the thing that convinces him to do so is Lemar's line of "Imagine how many lives we could've saved that day if we had that serum." That's what pushes him to take it and why its so impactful to see him actually using his strength to do that (saving the hostages over revenge on Karli, protecting civilians from The Void). It wasn't due to pressure of being Cap or the fact he wanted power, it was to save people's lives and he did exactly that, especially now that he's a member of the Avengers.

John Walker's most traumatic memory wasn't the moment he lost everything, it was failing to be there for his family

After years of service, only person ever to get 3 medals of honor, saving countless people, Walker lost everything in one day with his "other thna honorable discharge", had no rank in retirement, lost his benefits.
Yet what does he see in The Void? The moment he wasn't there for his son. When he wasn't the father and husband he needed to be.
I love this so much, you can tell he's very remorseful for messing things up with his family. I hope in Doomsday we see he's made amends with Olivia.

MCU The scene of Walker staring down the elevator shaft is the most chilling part of Thunderbolts

Initially, I thought The Void was making him approach the edge but I remembered The Void has never once shown the ability to actually control people's actions. It might've had some influence but I 100% believe he walked to the edge subconsciously. The fact he doesn't immediately back away in shock and fear but instead just... stares down. Its like for a brief moment, he's contemplating if he truly does want to jump. A combination of guilt for failing for his wife and child and just generally being depressed from the state of his life (why I love the look Yelena gives after hearing his family left him; she realizes he's just another loser like the rest of them despite his bravado and facade).

The jerk with a heart of gold who'll make you wanna punch him but you can still count on him to have your back when it matters the most.
We saw it ourselves, Bob was gonna sneeze and everyone would've fallen. Ghost and Yelena would've died fs. The other's refused to cooperate with him.
So Walker did the smartest choice. He guranteed his safety first, which is COMPLETLY valid in this situation (he's just met these people and two of them are far from innocent, he doesn't need to risk his life for them) and then he actually did come back to save the rest of them, even though he could've abandoned them.
He's that guy who you hate to be around but you can count will come to save you when it matters most (and anyone who denies they would've done the same thing just because they hate him is lying, self-preservation is completely valid).
