What story? What is he doing that besmerches his country? Fighting superpowered terrorists? Not putting up with attitude from b-list superheroes? What has this guy done wrong? Looked a bit smarmy?The story might work better if Walker eventually understands what he's going through will besmirch both his country and the shield so gives up the shield voluntarily rather than forced to do so.
Indeed. Tropes are like terms like climax, inciting incident, denouement. They are jargon about the craft and design patterns of story telling.
That's my hope as well, would be a lot more interesting than if Walker just turns heel and then we got to get him.Oh, definitely. And all the while I am saying that the guy's probably bad, I'm half-hoping they defy that expectation in some interesting way.

I’m sure that’s what happens in the future, because you guys are telling me that’s what happens in the comics. But on-screen? He’s fine. He has been given a job by America and he’s doing it.
Got it. Different conversations.I am just reading what is being talked about in the reviews of each episode.
...I am going on how the actor is portraying him as a smug ass, who is used to getting his way, and who does not like being told no.
I guess it might, but I’m not personally applying any. Everything I’m talking about is stuff they’ve put on screen. It is nuanced and sometimes subtle, of course (thus, not blatantly obvious, and, thus, disputable). But the other thing it has been is consistent.I’ve not really seen that in him.
I’m sure. If it’s a character from a comic book that you’re familiar with, and you say that’s the character, I believe you, and I’m sure that’s where it will go. For me he’s a brand new character and he seems fine if a bit out of his depth.
I guess foreknowledge can alter your perception of a character’s portrayal.
