Sure, but... whose version of "good"? We have not yet seen John Walker's ethos, if you will.

You want to rephrase that. The suffering of 80 mentally ill patient who were electroshocked until they were mindless is cruel and shouldn't be belittled.That's small beer compared to some, thinking of no UK in particular...

I meant Good the noun, not good the adjective.(Every culture, subculture and group will have different ideas of which actions are good -the adjective-, these are determined by ethos. Yet, everybody shares a basic idea of "Good" -the noun, the higher concept-. We disagree on the application of good -the adjective-, but this idea of Good -the noun- is essentially universal. No culture outright dismisses Good, they just disagree on which things are good and which aren't)Sure, but... whose version of "good"? We have not yet seen John Walker's ethos, if you will.
You can be a dick no matter which side you are on!
Walker seems sincere to me (which doesn't preclude him being dickish sometimes). Bucky's issue is with the people giving him orders - the US government. And this is the point he is trying to make to Sam by taking him to see Isaiah. I think the direction the show is taking is that Captain America needs to be separate from the state. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? That white-haired senator in the first episode seemed very fishy to me.
Which brings me to the Flag Smashers. Maybe they have a point? Whatever, and obvious flag to be smashed is the one on Captain America's suit. I wouldn't be surprised if Walker is killed. Or, if he survives, he, or his bosses, might deicide he needs Super Soldier serum to do his job. And I think this is another issue the show ill address: do you need to be superhuman to be Captain America? Sam, like Walker, only has his skills (given that the same goes for Batman, I would say the answer is no).
They already kinda implied that he was a natural super soldier. They said he was stronger, faster and smarter than everyone else and had won 3 medals of honor.You can be a dick no matter which side you are on!

As for the main villain, I would love to see Toby Jones' Zola back in some form. But that might be just wishful thinking on my part.
Given the current state of the real world I’d be delighted if Marvel decides to explore some of those issues.
