Walker is by far the best part of this show. I love the angle they're taking with his version of Cap.
I saw someone else bring up the fact that Steve was a more ideal soldier made under better circumstance, in that the war he was fighting that was indisputably just (vs Nazis) whereas Walker is a soldier made in a war where even he questions the morality of the choices he had to make (not to mention the PTSD he suffers from it all). It makes for a more modern Cap and it's a very interesting dynamic. I truly hope he survives the season and sticks around in the MCU. Seeing him show up every time the government sticks their nose in other heroes business could be amusing.

His feats looked flashier compared to all the other Super Soldiers in the episode, which is why he seemed more potent. At least to me. Not saying he necessarily is. Just that he looked that way to me on his first outing. But then I suppose it could have just been a style choice by the directors and writers to highlight the jump between his pre-Serum abilities and his Super Soldier abilities.
Only flashy moves in that fight were from Sam and that one super soldier doing flips...watch the fight again.

I said feats, not moves. Flashy feats don't just mean doing acrobatic moves. Other than Bucky's one kick and Karli's one punch, Walker got all the best-looking strength and durability feats during that scene, like casually bending that metal pipe, embedding his shield several inches into a concrete pillar, tossing around Flag Smashers like ragdolls, or crushing the van's roof by jumping from a couple floors up.
But as I already conceded, it could just be the guys behind the camera wanting to emphasize the boost in Walker's abilities whereas the others already had their super status established beforehand.
Warning, potential minor spoilers for the last two episodes.
Looks like
Spoiler:
Sam and Bucky are going to gang up on Walker to take the shield. If he doesn't get stomped and actually makes a good fight of it that would be pretty impressive on his part. I don't see him winning though.

the final 2 episodes are gonna freaking f7cking awesome
In Bucky's defense, they made John much closer to his comic levels than a single dose of SSS in the MCU should make him.
Even Cap couldn't send someone flying across the room riding the shield with their gut. And he hit him hard enough to send sparks out of his Vibranium arm.
I wish they hadn't made Bucky the punching bag to show off Psycho Cap, but it is what it is. They had to nerf him this entire series so Walker would look good as a villain when he finally snapped.
