Emasculation seems 100% on the nose for Walkers driving motivation.
Exploration around the themes of impostors syndrome, male fragility... seems to be Marvels favorite idea space to work in.
Thor not being able to lift his hammer (ED reference)
Tony wishing he could wrap the entire world in his suit of armour
Hulk refusing to come out. (ED reference)
Peters tingle not working (ED reference)
Peter giving up EDITH because he didn't think he could handle it.
Walker needing the blue medicine so he can keep up (ED reference)
.....
I was pretty unsure of what direction they were going with Walker, but I'm pretty sure they are going to redeem him as a hero now. Whenever the motives the are exploring are fears that not enough can be done we are looking at a hero, when the motives are confidence "I" can fix everything we are looking at a villain.
