If U hate a character you’re supposed to hate then it’s one or both of two things.
1.) Good Actor
2.) Good Writing
Wyatt Russel is phenomenal
I like him.
I don't think your meant to hate john. Your meant to sympathise with him or at least thats what I thought
@wrn beltran It really shows the hypocrisy of media he did worse to serve the country and they let it slide cause no one would see it but the moment they put someone with a soldiers mentality in a public role they ruined his life in a heart beat when he just did stuff the way he was taught
You're not supposed to hate him though he's good
@@ilikeyt414 You... Made me...
Its a shame the actor has been getting shit from people that can't separate fiction from reality but I think he's done a good job with the role so far in the show.
155 likes no comments bruh..
163 likes one comment bruh...
he's just that good of an actor but this hate towards the actual person is uncalled for
When the acting is too good that people hate the actor instead of hating the fictional character
i agree
"I cannot represent the American Government, that's the president's job. I represent the American Dream". God, what a perfect way to sum up Cap
Capitalism
@@ErgoFisioterapia hah?
@@60sspider-man29 "The american dream".
@@ErgoFisioterapia capitalism is not the same as the American dream...
The American dream is living as comfortably and as happy as you can.
@@60sspider-man29 which ironically lines up with socialism
He's only been in the MCU for under a minute, and everyone hates him 🤣
I think it has to do with the way he was presented, it wasn't even a week after sam gave the shield to be preserved in a museum when the goverment decided to just create a new captain america, it just smells like government propaganda.... in the story of course.
People just want to hate on him cause he's not Cap
I don't hate him but he will never be Captain America.
Not to mention it also reeks of racism.
@@nicke9012 you mean the government right? Not U.S Agent, he's not racist
John walker is such a good actor, I hate his character but he’s doing a great job at the role he’s playing
Wyatt Russell* god I’m an idiot
@@carlossierra4472 you can just edit comment
I hope Wyatt becomes prominent in the MCU, such an interesting character John Walker is. Hope they don’t waste his acting skill
I do not get how people hate this character. Sure you can dislike his character but not hate it
The copy-paste is real you didn't even know his real name...
He’s an anti hero not a villain. Funny how fans get mad at john walker but praise the punisher. They’re like the same! They’re anti heroes.
But Punisher does what he think is right no one telling him what to do while John Walker does what he is told to do like a trained dog even against innocence people but other than that they are pretty similar both amazing
@@6TomCruz6 Because he is the perfect solider and he was trained that way. Same with the punisher he was a soldier. They hated on John since the beginning only because he isn’t Steve, he did nothing wrong. But I agree they’re both awesome and believable.
@@jmcy291 ok first of all Punisher was a Marine no one likes to be called by their other siblings name. And Punisher got out of service pursue his own life with a wife and kids while Walker still served living that military life. I personally like Walker he is a good Captain America that corrupt America needed unlike Steve who was for the whole world
@@6TomCruz6 My bad. Thanks for the correction. I agree my guy, I like John Walker’s character too. Any country would love to have one like him.
People instantly disliked John Walker because the heroes - Falcon and Bucky - disliked him. We knew he's set up by the writers to fail, so it's emotionally easier to find faults with the character than to get attached to him at all.
I sympathize with John Walker, and I actually WANT to see him prevail. That's what good writing can do to an obscure character.
Same, I dont really get why people are hating on him so much.
True, its not his fault if the writing of his character is shit, he's really not a bad actor, I think they'll make his character better in the up coming episodes
@@nichollsboy11 there won't be any more episodes as far as I know. I think they're doing all these shows so they can explain complex storylines and have them more available to the audience. Along with telling the more exciting stories on the big screen. If movie theaters dont end up shutting down. Lol
@Central Intelligence Agency It's muddled, but frankly, so is the entire show. He's definitely the best part, though.
Wyatt Russell deserves an Oscar for his John walker performance. He played the role so well.
I like him more than captain America.
The fact that John Walker isn't perfect is why he's so Interesting
@@gabbar51ngh yes yes yes
I would 100% watch a movie about him
i think the shield is the best actor on the show
"Mom, can we have Captain America?"
"No, we have Captain America at home."
Captain America at home:
Pff.😆
My hero academia
lol you aren’t right for this!!!
@@THCthehempcloud it looks horrible lool
I was thinking about the exact same comment because I saw it in a different video
I'm glad John didn't die in the final episode.
Yaaa I actually like him as “USAgent”
I’m excited to see how Wyatt Russell does in the role.
He’s gonna do great, I already don’t like him. Lol
If they're going for a darker take on Captain America with the U.S. Agent, then Wyatt can portray it well after seeing him in the movie Overlord.
You mean Casey Neistat
@@kadadriancottman1266 😂😂
@@MisterDriskul so true. y'all have to watch overlord; unbelievable horror movie!
Wyatt Russell plays the role so well. I can’t wait to see his character incorporated more in the MCU.
I hope they do incorporate him.
We'll see more of him in Captain America And The New World Order when that movie comes out.
Curtis Jackson? dang 50cent been hustling for a long time.
If they bring Power Broker in they should hire 50cent.
@@sleepinggorilla 🤣🤣 but Curtis Jackson (Power broker) was *Way Before* 50 cent,
😹😂🤣🃏🎭🎭🃏🤣😂😹#lol
@@sleepinggorilla That would be funny.. He could be similar to his character Cannan on "Power"..
@@sawtooth808 wow, thank you for that valuable information
I just hope that in Falcon and Winter Soldier that he doesn't become a villain, it wouldn't do him justice. He's more of an antihero in his own right. I just hope he can being the US Agent while his role acts as a tribute to Captain America.
Sorry but I think he's going to become evil dude
Pretty sure he’ll become evil
According to the writers of the show he's def not becoming evil, in fact they've said they're humanising him even more compared to the comics.
@@mieroth can humanize villains lol not nothing new
@@LilPaycheck Like how they made Thanos' character inconsistent?
He's Captain America, with all the subtlety of a Kool Aid Man painted red, white, and blue coming through your wall on the Fourth of July with a bald eagle.
I see you every where
@@thanos7459 if you see him everywhere doesn't that mean you're also everywhere :-D
@@StarMarine1084 damn bro. Good point 😂
😂🤣😆
@@thanos7459 I'm also everywhere
JOHN WALKER BUILT THIS SHIELD IN A CAVE!!! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!
His shield was bent😂.
Ironman built an Ironman suit in a garage with scraps
How did that work out for him?
I-i'm sorry sir.. but i'm not John Walker..
I am sorry sir. But I am not John Walker.
Henceforth, he shall be known as “ *Cappin’* America.”
More like Captain ‘Murica
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cappin' murica
@@kanetashadowfall4569 even better.
I'm fuckin weak@cappin murica🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm actually one of the few that likes John Walker. I feel for the guy, he's just a common soldier trying to be a true hero, It's like putting reality into fiction.
I still don't hate him even after episode 4, they said the serum makes people more of themselves but he wasn't that bad before he took it. It seems like the writers just make him fit into whichever role they need him to play, he's bad when they need a bad guy and good when they need a good guy.
The line “you made me!” But me hard.
[TFATWS Finale Spoiler]
Boy, You must be so proud of Him right now.
@@ridwana4037 Spoilers warning: lol yeah I'm glad they gave him a redemtion rather than making him the villain. He's just a soldier, like the Punisher he was trained to kill. Would like to see a duo with John Walker and the Punisher too.
@Backup He's kinda like the Publisher, would love to see a duo with John Walker and the Punisher.
In the credits of the show, you can briefly see the line "Powerbroker is watching".👀
It's mephisto

Who knew that U.S. Agent would cause a big backlash to people who don't know who he is.
I knew him from Marvel Vs Capcom, he was side-character. When he appeared onscreen, I was confused why a black costumed captain america was called US agent.
because people are basic minded a lot.
@@TheDarkstar3601 He's also an alternate skin for Cap in MvC3.
I can’t wait to see him in action during the show
Yeah I can’t wait either.
Me too. I can't wait to see what he is going to be like in the Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show
I hope by later I. The show he gets the black outfit after giving up captian America
I've seen some set videos. He was pretty brutal.
This weekend was a sad one my local comic book store closed. COVID is really just forcing small business to close down, and I just wanted to say that we need to support them more during these hard times.
PReach brother
You mean Democrats, not COVID.
It sucks that your state is so fearful of the flu that they don’t believe in businesss surving
@@vegao22 the lack of prevention from our past dumb@$$ wannabe president is who you should blame.
@@vegao22 conservatives are preventing C*VID relief...
There's no more perfect character to reflect the current state of American struggle for power than US agent storyline. Kudos to Marvel to be able to reflect the reality of things in a fantasy world
Right? Well said...
👏 true
Well put
A guy who claims to be a social worker treating a grieving vet who's done literally nothing wrong other than not giving Lemar a dose like absolute shit? Yeah, I think that's accurate to the US.
John walker...dishonorable discharge....kicked out of the army..then joined the Power broker with a bunch of other Supersoldiers...
Then took the mantle as a twisted Captain America..
His story is intense
Kinda reminds me of Spider-Man Noir
@@silverrain99205 Spiderman noir is a 60's Spiderman that loves to Beat Nazi's...
@@karlmeisterfilms9112 I know but US Agent still reminds me of him for some reason
@@silverrain99205 well huh! Makes sense...
@@karlmeisterfilms9112 Kind of like a gritty version of an otherwise level headed hero. Know what I mean??
Anyone else really like John walkers character in falcon and winter soldier?
he's straight up *the best* character in that show
god i love him so much
I like that character
Him and Zemo might be the most likeable characters on the show...
I like him alot more than anyone else in that show. He's the ONLY true hero, ready to take on terrorism and not willing to sympathize with them unlike sam and bucky..
US agent should get his own Disney Plus Series.
I really like the US Agent character because he became the hero he always wanted to be plus he evolved to be a good person who did everything to keep people safe.
The dude they picked to play him was perfect casting. One of the best things about Marvel is the casting.
Agreed...
I love John Walker idc what he does he is a soldier trying to finish his mission
Your smoking
His ignored an order and committed a war crime...
@@Hero_2222 bruh, Every frigging avenger broke and ignored the law in MCU multiple times. Sam and Bucky literally broke zemo out of prison.
Plus the guy he killed was Literal Terrorist. It's not like he accidentally killed some innocent bystander.
Punisher would have put bullet into each one of those guys. Morality and legality are separate things
@@gabbar51ngh He surrendered. And Punisher has always been a morally grey antihero.
@@Hero_2222 Walker isn't a police officer and it was an armed conflict where one of Walker's teammate died.
The only reason Walker lost the title because he executed one out of his jurisdiction. If he had brought to United States then it would have been fine since US government could simply pardon him.
Lol Steve Rogers himself ignored government's orders all the time. Legality doesn't equate to morality.
MCU U.S. Agent
My wife: I hate him hes not Captain America
Me: I feel bad for him. Guy is in a no win, hes got huge shoes to fill, Falcon and Bucky hate him and he just wants to do his best.
Btw Wyatt Russell has been phenomenal as of episode 2
feel bad for him. all these braindead fans sending death threats to a character who’s supposed to be disliked 😐😐😐
@@sub-zero5433 Hold up? Who the heck is doing that? I know some people hate him, but sending death threats?
Yeah John walkers cool
Lol same exact thing happened with me and my girl. I've been mostly quiet about it.. next episode I'm standing up for him 💪😂
Y'all know when you wanna kill the ass holes
He's the Shadow the Hedgehog to Captain America's Sonic. Even to their color schemes.
Yup
One of my all-time favorite crossovers was "The Punisher: No Escape," in which John Walker made a temporary alliance with Frank Castle. Those two had amazing chemistry. I actually think that USAgent belongs in Marvel's antihero crowd. I'd love to see a team up with Ghost Rider.
I love U.S. Agents costume. He looks like if Punisher ended up being Cap.
He actually tried that once.
Put black on anything and it looks cooler, you see that motorbike? Blacked out. You see that pair of shoes? Blacked out. You see that polar bear? Pandad out.
I swear, the fact people hate your character so much in such a short time, you're doing a good job playing the villain
U.S. Agent is the Darker Equivalent of Captain America but a lighter version of Punisher. Still happy they made him an Anti Hero and such a badass way to go with him. Anti heros are the best,
Ya know I'm surprised you haven't done for red guardian since he's in the black widow film
+Terrence Walls
He'll probably do one on Red Guardian before the Black Widow movie drops.
@@thealjohnsonshow2188 I mean he's basically Russian captain America
@@thealjohnsonshow2188 but question is which red guardian is in black widow there's several 🤔
@@wallsterrence
Alexi (I can't pronounce his last name), played by David Harbor ("Stranger Things").
@@thealjohnsonshow2188oooo the latest one ok ok
I'm really excited for the US agent cause this is like the first time ever a hero has been replaced on screen and it's sorta become a staple of comics.
Wyatt Russell is amazing actor and a cool dude. He doesn't deserve the shit he is getting.
Every time you DON'T see an Olympic gymnast, it's because they're becoming superheroes and villains.
U.S. Agent from Marvel and K.G. Beast from DC are two characters whose names alone make them impossible to hate 😂
The Captain America No More story arc was incredible and got me so invested in both Steve Rogers and John Walker. There is a big difference between John Walker portrayal in the MCU, but I like where they are going. And it's cool that Lamar is with him in FatWS and they chose a good actor for that role. Looking forward to see how this works.
I enjoyed him in his time as a member of the Dark Avengers.
Yes yes
Yes...
Thanks for these history of videos Variant you rock.
I love the U.S.Agent, the fact that he's not your typical hero is amazing!
I like that you have recommended readings.
The US Agent is goated. my favourite mcu character
Arris, thanks for your videos. I enjoy how you explain the characters and their stories. Keep up the great work.
Great video!
John Walker the best
I don't see why people hate Wyatt Russell's Cap...
Same, he may not be a good cap, but he is a good character, even more when he becomes us agent
Maybe because he's supposed to be hated? Nonetheless I'm still loving his character. Hope he gonna be around the MCU for a while.
I mean, Wyatt is pretty chill, (like the Empire) and his Cap is hot-headed
@@kabukiuchiha6020 possibly
I don’t hate him. But he’s a horrible leader. He doesn’t trust those around him. He’s constantly making I’ll advised decisions. He loses his temper. There’s a lot. He gets his teammates killed. I could go on, but I have stuff to do 😂
Great video, really comprehensive, I love all your videos varient!!!
Awesome story and history about John Walker the U.S agent. Thank Variant. 😃😄👍
Fun fact us agent was an assist character in the first marvel vs capcom
That Miles T shirt tho 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you my friend to explain the story of this character
been waiting for this!
Do a history of Thunderstrike! Love that dude!
U.S. Agent is one of my favorites 👍. I used to read The West Coast Avengers as a Teenager .
As a kid reading this story line, I loved, loved, loved it! I think I first started reading cap at that 332 issue. Great stuff.
Nice work 🎆
Now everyone loves him. Lol
He's always been interesting. He's not exactly wrong in his approach, but he goes too far. Once he became Cap, he realized how much of a burden it was and what Steve struggled with.
He realized Steve Rogers, his inner strength is what Captain America is about or should be about. Mark wrote a couple of goofy stories at times, but he could really nail it also. In WCA they basically wrote him as Guy Gardner.
I liked when he reformed the Invaders, was dressed pretty much like Cap, and doing foreign missions.
This is super cool!!! Thank you for the video and God bless!!!💝💖💝
Good Job Man 👍🏼
What would happen if the US Agent was a good guy and that too as an ally for the Falcon and Winter Soldier despite working with a corrupt government in the Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show?
Actually, that would be a good idea. He could start off as an ally of the two, then become their enemy when the government decides to rein them in, even though they were saving their undeserved asses from the Flag Smashers. Anyone else getting The Boys vibe here?
@@flynnwhimster5371 The persona and name is something straight out of the boys
This is the ideal character to introduce to the MCU.
Loving this channel. Hope to see more TMNT from you. This channel is how I found out about Last Ronin.
I trucking love these videos
How I wish cap and US agent can meet in the MCU and fight each other.
I wish they could team up...
Yeah man that would be sick ass fight
They will but Steve won’t be cap. Sam Wilson will be Cap when Cap fights US Agent
@@maximillion322 indeed
Walker would get wrecked in the mcu
“That shield doesn’t belong to you”
My father made that shield
What do you think Tony Stark Iron Man would say about the government handing over the shield made by his father to US Agent?
@@quentinfogger5755 didn't Tony remake the shield after Cap ditched the original one in Civil War
@@quentinfogger5755 he'd soon realize that he was wrong about the accords and trusting the government.
Its was made using vibranium stolen from wakanda. Its doesn't belong to Tony stark either.
Good stuff
yo thanks so much for the info on the new character in the MCU... AND CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF TFAWS this friday!
I can imagine somehow Marvel will make a character that we should all hate because he isn't our Captain America/Steve, but somehow they'll make us feel bad & care for his past, because they are magicians at toying with & playing with our/my emotions.
I sure hope they do this, or at the very least make him an antihero and not a villain.
I hope he is a villain he’s very unlikable
Yeah i already cant stand him
@@singulardude6453 hope not, John Walker is supposed to be an anti-hero, an asshole with a good heart. A hero with an ego
No matter what people say, I like this character
i always feel like I hit the jackpot when I actually own an issue Arris mentions! I have issue 1 of that 1993 mini series, and up to this point i had just thrown it in the back of a box and never gave it another thought after a friend gifted me a bunch of random issues! Time to blow a little dust off the cover!
Kind of late to the video but great video and awesome shirt! 👌
A lot of you are hating on John Walker but I think that just tells real marvel fans you have little no idea of the expanded universe
@Ryan Jones Right, not a true marvel fan I guess
How awesome would it be if 50 Cent played the Power Broker and was credited as playing himself.
Dunno how to break it to you bud...
@@alphattus1503 break it
Man's dead mate, completley kaput, has been for years, cents a name I haven't heard in centuries
I recently bought the trade that collects the storyline of Walker's time as Capt. America. It's really good
Your channel is sick im definitely gonna sub
And today...
U.S Agent is officially in the MCU.
Steve Rogers was a perfect man
John Walker is the perfect Soldier and for some reason I dig his character.
Diehard Cap fan. Absolutely love John Walker, Captain America. Really would love to see him in the MCU. Have to finish the last two episodes of Falcon and Winter Soldier but I loved the show. Isiah Bradley was probably my favorite character in the show.
Very good
I haven't watched the D+ shows yet, but US Agent appearing has me more interested in watching Falcon & the Winter Soldier than the titular characters do.
It’s pretty good so far
What would happen if the Falcon and Winter Soldier never took on the mantle of Capitain America in the Comics so that US Agent can take the mantle of Capitain America from Steve Rodgers with no problem at all?
That'll be better! I hate WS and falcon as cap...I mean if they use american theme suit its OK (imagine long haired WS with domino mask but wearing cap suit,that's cool asf) but don't call themselves cap for god sake
Love this channel!,lol
Thank you .
I really loved John walker in the last episode
John Walker is the best character in the series
I really hope we get a US Agent series or movie.
Thanks for the info. Didn't know anything about us agent.
I’ve always wanted the U.S. Agent toy biz figure in 1990/1991
My cousin had one😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe it took me 2 years to forget who the us agent was
Wyatts soo good he really made people hate him, well donee, bravo
_"You can all go to blazes!"_
Now that's a classy dis!
And now he's in the MCU.
I feel like John Walker was the most likeable and well developed character in FandWS
I do love Aris’ tshirt choices recently
U.S. Agent is quite an underrated fan favorite!!
