An authority figure killing an unarmed person in public has added weight given the events of the last year, even if this show often feels a bit surface-level in the handling of its most complex themes - at least it’s trying to deepen a genre that’s too often “good guys vs. Walker is running, flashing back to the murder he just committed in public. Caught in the middle of all of this are Sam Wilson and James “Bucky” Barnes, two men trying to determine what the word “hero” means to them. Somewhere on the fringe is Karli Morgenthau, a woman who considers herself a hero to her people. On the other end of the spectrum is Isaiah Bradley, a hero who the government disowned and abused, a man who was left behind by a country he served and history books that wrote him out. First, there’s John Walker, a man who has been called a hero by his country for most of his life and watches all of that torn away thanks to his own vicious pride. Let’s start with the show’s representation of flawed heroism, a theme that works its way through the entire episode. However, the writers are clearly defining the themes of the season and setting up how this show is going to impact the MCU, which appears to be getting richer in its dissection of what it truly means to be a hero.
While the thematic explorations of history and heroism in “Truth” are admirable, the pace sags a bit in the season’s longest episode ( so much boat work), and some of the episode’s more serious dialogue feels overly scripted.
