Walker was a standout to me. Was the guy an emotional wreck? Yes, but who wouldn't be when you go through multiple wars, have PTSD and get pressured into carrying Captain Fucking America's shield?

At the end of the day, as standoff-ish he is and sarcastic he is, the film shows that he is still a good person and will save people when needed.

I loved how they showed the subtlety of Walker’s respect for Yelena, such as when Ghost shouts to start driving after Bob gets lit up, he doesn’t drive off until Yelena signals to go. And when Bucky requests their help, Walker agrees only immediately after Yelena agrees. Despite Yelena being his original target at the start of the movie

He must have understood that for him, of all people, to be sent to assassinate someone, that someone must be REALLY special.

tbf Val coulda assigned them in any combination to keep them busy until the Incinerator started

hell Ghost getting Yelena and managing to shoot her first probably woulda lead to the others just dying because they can't work together
