Walker 2.15

I’m gonna start by saying a possibly unpopular opinion but I really like the character of Twyla, and I think her and Walker are cute together and have great chemistry. Honestly, I loved seeing them work together undercover. I also love that she and Cassie built a weirdly cute friendship.

I really enjoyed this episode. The main plot is, like I mentioned, Walker and Twyla having to go undercover because Walker and Cassie’s case is looking for a counterfeiter who is linked to Twyla’s ex. So Captain James makes a deal with Twyla that in return for her help a Ranger will testify at her upcoming parole hearing. By the way, the last time we saw Twyla Walker had promised to visit her…he did not. Shameful, Walker, shameful. Anyways, turns out Twyla’s ex was the counterfeiter all along, and since they caught him (thanks to her smart thinking) Twyla gets her parole with Cassie speaking in her favor at her hearing. Yay! At the end of the ep her and Walker have a cute scene cause earlier she had asked him if he ever wondered about what it would have been like if they had met under different circumstances, so he does the re-introductions thing! Y’all know what I’m talking about right? He re-introduces himself to her so they can start anew. It was adorable.

Alongside the main storyline there’s like two mini ones, the first one is that Captain James is trying things out again with his ex but he’s having some communication issues. And August is also having romantic problems. And they don’t understand why but luckily for them there’s a King among them, Trey steps up and lets them know the problem is them. Actually, he tells them they’re just having problems expressing their feelings, and bottling things up. So he takes them to a rage room and lets them destroy while screaming out their feelings which can be so cathartic, if you’ve never tried it 10/10 recommend. At the end August realizes the girl he was into just ain’t that into him, and the good Captain learns he needs to let his ex be part of every aspect of his life if he wants things to work out this time. Trey is the best.

The second mini storyline is two fold. Stella got admitted into her college of choice but she hasn’t told her fam cause they’ve had so much going on and college is expensive, and this girl decides to go to Colton to talk to him about it which not the best choice but it works out in this case because she notices that there’s a bunch of poisonous weeds that could harm the horses. She calls her grandpa to help out, and after they’ve (Stella, Colton, Bonham, and Dan) cleaned up Dan has the audacity to ask Bonham to help him run the ranch. What an ass. But Bonham agrees because he loves his land even though it’s no longer his.

Overall I loved the whole ep, my favorite parts were the ones involving Twyla, Walker, and Cassie but the mini storylines and other characters were very well incorporated into things.

#i like it way more than a thumbs up but bb8 gif makes me happy #walker 2.15 #walker #the person who wrote this ep is the script coordinator for this show and i believe this is his first tv writing credit #he did a really good job i hope they get the chance to write more eps #walker spoilers #mine #opinion on walker

Bucky Barnes is the best super soldier

How it was subtly emphasized in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier:

He always holds back

With the Flag Smashers and even with John Walker. We could see the difference in the last 3 episodes. Sebastian Stan did an incredible job making it clear in a subtle way.

I want to mention that famous "Stay there" scene, and how it was visible Bucky was not punching as hard as he can in the fight with John.)

This is the thing about Bucky, he isn't after the kill, he just does his part. He doesn't try to show off his skills or that he is a good guy. He doesn't try to play the victim role, either. In the scene where Zemo fake-activates the Winter Soldier in Madripoor, he just makes a point. He's obviously not even trying hard.

If he wanted those in the club dead, they would be. But his self control was wow. Sebastian acted so well, his exes said everything.

*And to be honest, even when he was TWS, he could have killed everyone, but he didn't. He could have killed all of the Avengers in Civil War is they were his mission, but they weren't. This is how Natasha survived when she met him, too. It depended on what kind of mission he had (if he wasn't allowed to be seen, then the witnesses would die too, but otherwise? He didn't bother).

2. His skills

People tend to forget how smart and good at making strategies Bucky is. He's been fighting (even though he hates fighting and never wanted to be in the army) for years before he was even captured by Hydra. And this is the reason why government still want him, after all. They can use his strategies as a leader (*cough* Thunderbolts *cough*).

In the last episodes of TFATWS, we could see how he outsmarted everyone. Karli was so terrified of him.

3. Karli Morgenthau

And talking about Karli, the phone call was interesting:

She asked him if he's not tired of fighting for the wrong side, and then told him she's fighting for something bigger than herself.

"And with all the bodies you've collected, have you ever been able to say the same?"

The first thing I wanna point out is how everyone talks about the deaths Bucky caused when he was controlled by Hydra, but everyone ignores the fact that all the Avengers killed far more, but since we consider them the good side, we just don't care.

Clint, Tony, Steve, Wanda etc. They all cause(d) far more deaths than "two dozen" (known assassinations - to quote Natasha), and neither was controlled. The double standards are something else, especially for Clint. (One of the reasons why Tony was on the other side in CW was because of his guilt, after all.)

The second point is how Bucky's answer says a lot more than we might realize at first:

"You don't think I ever fought for something bigger than myself? That's all I ever tried to do, and I failed twice."

Even as TWS, Bucky had to be convinced he is on the right side, that what they do is to save the world, to give "the world the freedom it deserves".

Even brainwashed and put to sleep all the time, he had to be lied to. Bucky as TWS was a victim too. He is not a victim only because he didn't have memories or control, but also because they lied to him and used him as a toy. That milk scene is so loud. (And I am gonna talk about it in a different post). He had no rights, no choices. He was used to being tortured.

[And I wish they explored it more. We deserved and deserve a WS film - maybe with him in Romania getting back his memories, writing in his journal etc.]

"You think your cause justifies all this death, but in the end, the nightmares won't go away. You're gonna remember all the ones you killed. Trust me. Don't do this. Don't go down this path."

Despite being on opposite sides, Bucky still said this to Karli, trying to help her, to make her see the big picture, sharing how he felt and feels.

He is on "the right side". He is a hero, and Bucky being thanked by that man for saving everyone's life was touching.

4. Baron Zemo

You can see how smart, strong, and rational Bucky is when he decides to break Zemo out of jail (his plan was amazing too), risking so much (his relationship with Wakanda people and his own freedom) to get his help for the mess. He puts the cause above his own (huge) trauma. And this makes that moment in Madripoor even more disgusting (he is treated as an object, as a toy):

Zemo: Tell us what you know about the super-soldier serum. And I give you him, along with the code words to control him, of course. He will do anything you want.

The way he keeps his composure, reacts and manages the situation... absolutely incredible!

This conversation also says a lot:

Zemo: The desire to become a superhuman cannot be separated from supremacist ideals. Anyone with that serum is inherently on that path.

Bucky: Maybe you're wrong, Zemo. The serum never corrupted Steve.

Zemo: Touché. But there has never been another Steve Rogers, has there?

Bucky positions himself below Steve, who's considered a good hero, a good person... like no other. But Steve never had to go through what Bucky did: from being kidnapped like that, to being tested on, to falling off the train, to being tortured, and used, and brainwashed for decades, and put to sleep when he was not needed and having n "keepers".

Also, interesting how all Steve wanted was to fight (for a good cause, but still)... and fighting still means violence, meanwhile Bucky never wanted to fight, not even before becoming TWS, in the army (and yet he is still great at fighting. And he is deadly, even when he holds back.). All he wanted was peace.

Despite not getting the "perfect serum", despite being brainwashed, put to sleep, and forced to fight for decades, he is still himself. He never gave in to the dark side for real. He fought in his own way. The first thing he did when he woke up was to choke the Hydra guy with a whole new arm!

Bucky is so underrated: from his intelligence and fighting skills, to how human he is. Being flawed, keeping his sassiness and charm from the 40s, but getting more mature and carrying his past on his shoulders... he's so relatable and real. And every day, he shows Zemo he is wrong.

The show he makes in his final scene with Zemo is absolutely fantastic. He doesn't just prove the point he isn't defined by the serum and Hydra (AND not even by Steve, thanks to Sam. His speech made him realize the important thing about himself: that he decides who he is, not others - even those who know him before becoming TWS- "And this might be a surprise, but it doesn't matter what Steve thought. You gotta stop looking to other people to tell you who you are." parallel to "Steve believed in you. He trusted you. He gave you that shield for a reason. That shield, that is… that is everything he stood for. That is his legacy. He gave you that shield, and you threw it away like it was nothing. [...] So maybe he was wrong about you. And if he was wrong about you, then he was wrong about me."), but also that he is superior.

When Zemo tells him that he decided to let him alive (probably so he can kill Karli) and basically calls him a killing machine: "programmed to kill", Bucky plays the role, lets Zemo talk him into killing Karli, and then Bucky watches him waiting for his own death.

[Also, Bucky's line: Imagine my relief is hilarious.]

The acting was incredible: the shock on Zemo's face and the amusement and somehow relief on Bucky's after he pulls the trigger and lets the bullets fall... He proved him he's THE standard of the super soldier. Because despite everything he went through, he is the best.

Zemo telling him to cross his name off felt like a fresh start (+ telling Nakajima the truth).

5. John Walker

John, on the other hand, is lucky Bucky is an understanding person. He gets what is like... the pressure, the environment, the loss, and even tries to help.

Bucky: Don't go down that road. Believe me, it doesn't end well.

John: I'm not like you!

Of course he is not like Bucky, because Bucky has control. He is not killing to get revenge in a cynical way.

"That serum doesn't exactly have a great track record."

John kept judging Bucky every time they spoke, somehow placing himself above this "broken" man.

"This is all really easy for you, isn't it? All that serum runnin' through your veins. Barnes, your partner needs backup in there. Do you really want his blood on your hands?"

This is so wrong on every single level, especially because Bucky didn't choose to take the serum, and he always had his friends' back. He's loyal and ready to sacrifice himself.

The "funny" part about this is John ending up taking the last super soldier serum vial. All the judgement, the disgust, the patronizing tone, just to do that. Plus, of course, to kill someone with the shield.

(John proves Zemo's point about super soldiers, and Bucky does the opposite.)

And what is it easy for Bucky anyway?

He's under government conditions (so CACW coded), he has a vibranium arm that I bet the government would try to take after he dies (HOPEFULLY WHEN HE'S 200 YEARS OLD IN HIS BED, as Sebastian wants too) if he isn't in Wakanda, he is haunted by nightmares (which also can mean he is still Hydra's TWS in another universe as we found out from Strange), and he has to learn how to live for real. He's smart, charismatic, has values and principles, and he's incredible.

We need to see his version of TWS going after everyone Hydra helped. TWS is him, a part of him, and doing that on his terms, having control over it would help him heal.

Fuck every percy jackson "fan" who is still complaining about percy & annabeths HAIR COLOURS being different then in the books. I hope Nico is blonde so that all of you cry and scream like fucking toddlers

#like actually #please STFU on pjo fanart #nobody cares that you are upset about annabeth not being blonde YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMMENT IT #like we get that you do not have the skill to make banger pjo fanart yourself (oh noo :((( poor baby)#but maybe your time would be better spent making your own fanart if you wanna complain about how the artist draws a certain character #contrary to unpopular beleif the world does not revolve around you #just because you don't like that leah jeffries is playing annabeth does not mean that the casting is gonna change #go sit in a corner and cry about it and stop having a meltdown in artist comment sections! Literally nobody gives a shit about your opinion #if you are actively bringing down the pjo fandom/tearing apart anything the new adaptation has to offer #then I will gladly inform you that you are NOT a pjo fan #you are an annoying piece of shit that cares more about accuracy then the actual story #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson series #percy jackson disney+#annabeth chase #leah sava jeffries #walker scobell #leah is our annabeth

Killing Joke were one of the few bands that could perfectly walk the line between Goth and Industrial, and a lot of that ability had to do with Geordie Walker's prowess as a guitar player. He was always sorely underrated as a guitarist, especially considering how many iconic riffs were his doing. Of course, one of those iconic riffs was the opening riff for "Eighties" that Kurt Cobain...err..."gently lifted" for Nirvana's "Come as you Are".

Geordie's passing is making me think about how there are a lot of great musicians in this world who came and went without much fanfare while they were alive, but their influence can be heard in so many musicians who came after them. No magazine covers, no Rockstar fan worship, just solid musicianship that helped to define a music genre as we know it to exist. May Geordie's soul rest in peace and his legacy continue to live on with those who appreciated him.

This might be a controversial opinion, but people who make pjo show cast fanfics physically make me sick (especially the ones with walker, leah, and any of the cast under 18/17). I'm sorry but they're literally minors. And I feel bad for the cast, especially walker and leah who got their tiktok accounts banned because of some crazy fangirls. These are real people that you're writing about, not book characters. We need to normalize appropriate fandom culture, especially when it comes to kids.

#just wanted to add this is my opinion and people can live their life however they want #fanfics are absolutely fine and no shame to the people who write them #we just need to be careful and aware when it comes to real life people and not characters #pjo fandom #pjo tv show #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #leah sava jeffries #leah jeffries #walker scobell #pjo tv show cast #fandom culture #fandom critique

For the love of all that is holy, it is physically painful to watch percy come to a sensible conclusion and then feel dumb for realizing that he's late to the party because the no one's telling him anything. Start giving him the whole story instead of giving him the side eye. Goddamn.

#I'm sorry I'm sorry it's just.#Annabeth and grover are kids too but that look they shared? I've been given that look my whole goddamn life #Now I have trouble voicing opinions what if someone side eyes me again and suddenly I'm 12 again and socializing is a fckn nightmare #Oh I thought it was obvious. No no it's not shut up shut upppp #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo disney+#walker scobell

fuck ph*l sp*ctor's wall of sound all my homies hate ph*l sp*ctor's wall of sound (except you the walker brothers you can stay since your producer was not ph*l sp*ctor but johnny franz ripping off the sound and doing it better)

#i already hate phil spector for the everything about him and also really don't like the way the wall of sound well. sounds. LOL #but for some reason with the walker brothers that production formula works. also with early dusty springfield who was also produced by #johnny franz. which tracks. anyways. so often the wall of sound just sounds muddy af and combine that with sp*ctor's hatred of stereo mixes #it just ends up sounding like crap in mono in my humblest of opinions (i am saying this having purchased a mono walker brothers album #tonight which was an outlier for me given i almost always hate mono mixes on principle unless they're proven to be incredibly good—but even #ones that are deeply lauded like the pet sounds mono mix often end up sucking. anyways—but the walker brothers album is actually good LOL)

I feel like tonight's episode of Walker (3.09) had too many storylines going on so to me it felt a little all over the place and disconnected but I really liked the conversation between Colton and Stella at the end where he opened up about his grandma contacting him and him wanting to see her, they both displayed a lot of maturity in that moment, especially Stella, I really liked that she let Colton know that her currently needing distance from her family doesn't mean that he has to do the same but also that he's not responsible for what his grandma did, those were her actions that he had nothing to do with and that is completely separate from their relationship.

I also liked the conversation between August and Abeline at the end of the ep, as well as the conversation that he had with Colton, this kid might still be redeemable.

And Julia, I liked Julia. Kinda would like to see what her and Cordell would be like as a couple but I'm not gonna invest in it because I know it would last only 2 maybe 3 eps and then bye-bye Julia.....

Final thing, I hope for Cassie's sake I'm wrong but Kevin gives me weird vibes

#walker #walker spoilers #walker 3.09 #actual final thing in the tags bonham was harsh with liam but i'm kinda on his side #opinion on walker #even though i don't feel this is a proper opinion post because i really don't have many thoughts on this ep #i mostly found it disjointed and as if it had several writers #mine #noniwtv

I just wanted to add my little two cents about the tsc discourse.

I already did in a reblog but I wanted to make my own post about it so here it is :))

I love me some jerejean, looooveee it. love the dynamic, love the fanart, love the fics, love all of it!!

However, i am well aware that it most likely won’t be canon, and i am totally for Renee and Jean.

I don’t understand why people have such a problem with the canon relationships. I feel like this fandom forgets that most of the characters are not canonically queer, or are not in canonically queer relationships. And that’s totally fine.

It’s more realistic to a degree, and those pointing out the fact that if Renee and Jean were a mlm couple people wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it aren’t really wrong.

I love Aaron and Katelyn, I want to see more of the dynamic between Kevin and Thea. These characters are written into straight relationships and just because it doesn’t line up with your ideal doesn’t make them any less real or beneficial.

But that’s the thing about shipping culture and fanon, it’s meant to exist independent from the authors vision.

For example, I don’t like kandriel, I never have. It’s huge in fanon, and I don’t vibe with it. I like the idea of Allison and Kevin together, I think it would fucking hilarious and dramatic. That’s my little headcanon that I can kick my feet to.

In my head Jeremy would have a secret dark side and a complicated/bad family situation, shining brightly regardless, even though canonically he’s probably gonna be the most average guy ever.

The whole point is it’s fun to speculate and read about these things that are just fan created interpretations. It’s fun to divulge in your fantasies and headcanons.

But canon is canon.

Nora wrote this story with a specific vision in mind and as readers who enjoyed her books we need to respect that.

I will read the shit out of tsc and love it because I love these characters and I love this story. I will also continue to read fics and look at art of the non canonical couples like jerejean because I like them.

I can live in both canonical and fanoncial spaces and be happy.

If you can’t to do that without getting up in arms and attacking the author for not writing their own story the way that you would, then don’t read the book. Or learn to live with it.

xoxo

#the sunshine court #this is a little rant and just my opinion #but damn for fans some of yall gotta learn to be a little nice #tsc #all for the game #aftg #jerejean #jean moreau x renee walker #renee walker #jean moreau #the foxhole court
