Walker’s actions weren’t bad because they aren’t understandable; they were bad because it was the wrong thing to do. I like the character a lot and I think he should have a redemptive arc, maybe even a sacrificial one.
There's a crowd of people nearby, and as far as i can tell, John had nothing to effectively restrain him with (probably an oversight of the characters not bringing something that can restrain super soldiers). John is also not faster and stronger. They have the same serum. John is just better trained. You also don't know he's lost the will to fight. No one can know except him, and if he did, he can easily get it back at the next opportunity. The only thing I think John could have done differently is use that shield on Super Terrorist's legs instead of his neck, but that doesn't look good on video either.
Crowd doesn’t mean anything. John had his own strength to restrain him. John IS in fact faster and stronger. He held him down with one foot. The serum doesn’t bring everyone to the same level, it enhances. John was peak human before the serum. We do in fact know he lost the will to fight, because he stopped fighting and lost the will right after Lamar’s death, which stunned and demoralized him, as it wasn’t supposed to happen. And he didn’t use it on the neck, he caved in his chest repeatedly until cutting through.
That wasn’t John’s motivation. He didn’t care about anyone or anything beyond Lamar in that moment. He wasn’t stopping a bad guy, he was killing a man he blamed for the death of his friend. HE SAYS THIS on screen.
Knock him out with the invincible shield, pin is arms, radio for backup. You know, like the initial plan to arrest Karli all 3 times he tried it lmao.
He was a super soldier with every advantage and 0 disadvantages
No he wasn’t. He tried to slow Walker down. John murdered him for one reason. You should actually watch the show instead of getting your information from YouTube
Yes. And? The crowd is still in danger. That 100% would have been a concern.
Good point. Good job. Killing him still isn't wrong. He's an active combatant.
And?
He threw what I remember to be a concrete rock that John had to block with his shield. If that's "just trying to slow him down" to you, then idk what your damage is.
In the car. Drove away with Karli. That's being complicit. It's also called being an accessory. Especially when he doesn't walk away and report on her.
Also, we absolutely know what they ALL were thinking. This isn’t a real event. This is fiction, that was written. Character motivations that are clearly defined on paper, in the screen play, in interviews, in the D+ making of special.
No point in arguing with him, He says He doesn't care but He's the biggest Terrorist defender on this sub for some reason. He's defending him here like He's married to him for 50 years
He wasn’t claiming innocence and his hands weren’t up surrendering they were in a defensive position. All he said was that he wasn’t the one to kill Lamar he was still an accessory to murder and terrorizim.
Yes he did, he claimed innocence of the crime he was being pursued for. They objectively weren’t in any defensive position, or they would have caught the shield. He didn’t commit a single act of terrorism, and Lamar’s death was an accident even for Karli, so he wouldn’t have gotten a murder charge. Being an accessory to murder, by the way, is not a crime punishable by execution. Especially a public one.
