![]() It took me back to a scene in the Young Avengers comics and the great scene of Bradley seeing his disguised grandson in the newspaper and crying out of pride.īut then there’s John Walker.

The only real downside is that his big coming out party is hurt from two different parties going over his head to get at the Flag-Smashers.īucky does his work, but this finale isn’t really about him. This was his audition and he did way better than Walker did. This is exactly what it should have been, down to the inspirational speech at the end. ![]() Sam Wilson spends the episode being Captain America and proving he’s absolutely worthy of the title. ![]()
