The Boysis basically the MCU’s wild alter ego, with Homelander’s over-the-top brutality being the exact opposite of Captain America’s wholesome patriotism. The crazy antics inThe Boysare so far out that even the most creative MCU fan couldn’t dream them up.

But guess what? The MCU managed to give us its own “Did I just see that?” moment inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier, proving that even its more buttoned-up universe can throw a curveball now and then.
One of the Most Gruesome MCU Scenes That MatchesThe Boys‘ Level
In Episode 4 ofSam Wilson’s (played by Anthony Mackie)The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,John Walker played by Wyatt Russell, grabs Captain America’s shield and takes things to a dark place. This isn’t the post-Blip, post-Steve Rogers world fans typically expected. Leaving people to ask the question, did Captain America really just kill someone in broad daylight?
“This scene made me absolutely disgusted”: Wyatt Russell’s John Walker Never Deserved the Captain America Shield After the Exit of Chris Evans’ MCU Hero
Feeling the weight of his predecessor’s legacy, Walker is struggling. With Sam Wilson, Bucky refusing to team up, andDora Milajeswooping in to arrest Zemo, Walker is left feeling like a fraud. He’s signing autographs but lacks the Super Soldier strength that made Steve Rogers a true hero.
After a tense fight with Flag-Smasher leader Karli Morgenthau, Walker grabs a vial of Super Serum and decides to inject himself. Lemar Hoskins had warned him that power reveals one’s true nature, and Walker’s desperation to live up to Steve Rogers leads him down a dark path.

In a shocking finale, Walker, now superpowered and vengeful after Karli unintentionally kills Lemar, uses the shield to brutally attack a Flag-Smasher in full view of horrified bystanders. This scene easily made people question whether they were watching the MCU orThe Boys.
Fans Still Can’t Get Over ThisThe Falcon and the Winter SoldierScene
Even after all this time, fans are still reeling from the jaw-dropping shock of that scene. It’s proof that the MCU can still drop a bombshell that rivals even the wildestThe Boysmoments.
