It takes all the muscle our heroes have to subdue him. He’s stubbly and grubby, and is in a chemically induced berserker rage as he rips the Falcon’s wings off. Even wearing Cap’s uniform, Walker looks more like a madman than like a symbol of hope. “Truth” is an unusually long episode - running a full hour - and is surprisingly light on traditional “action.” The most viscerally exciting fight scene comes at the beginning, when Sam and Bucky corner John Walker after he gets caught on video beating a Flag Smasher to death with Captain America’s shield. But as the series approaches its finale, the writers and the cast apparently felt the need to take a little time in this penultimate episode, “Truth,” to reestablish their characters, and to clarify why these two are the protagonists in a story that up until now has been mostly about Captain America. These “couple of guys” are the Falcon and the Winter Soldier - the main characters in an expensive Marvel Studios television show. Then as Bucky gets ready to leave, the two men define their relationship as nothing all that special … just “a couple of guys with a mutual friend.” And now that the friend’s gone? They’re just a couple of guys. They talk some about their hopes and disappointments. They toss Steve Rogers’s old shield around in the backyard.
