However, Sam now realizes he regrets giving up the shield and also wants to get it back - to destroy it. Bucky knows the world needs a new Captain America, but not the one it has right now, and he goes on to imply that he'd take the title if need be. The shield means too much to Bucky to see its importance and the legacy behind it desecrated while it's in Walker's hands. Even without seeing this exchange, Bucky is well aware of this, and when he, Sam, and Zemo are on the plane leaving Madripoor, Bucky tells Sam he's going to take Steve's shield from Walker once their mission is over. It doesn't take an extensive knowledge of the world of Marvel to know that an attitude like this is grossly unbefitting of anyone calling themselves Captain America. We'll have to see how else her desperation manifests, and what will become of her as she becomes more vulnerable and volatile, in the coming weeks. Villains are often easiest to defeat when they're mentally, physically, or emotionally exhausted, and it seems like Karli's heading toward a state of all three. It's clear that the stress of the Flag Smashers' mission, coupled with the lost of Mama Donya and having the Power Broker hot on her trail, is wearing Karli down. She claims that doing so is the only way to get those opposed to the Flag Smashers' cause to listen, but even Karli's ally Dovich (Desmond Chiam) is taken aback by this new level of violence. For just one example, even after stripping a Global Repatriation Council shelter of its stockpiled resources - resources that Karli and her allies want to redistribute to those who really need them - Karli uses a car bomb to send the building up in flames while the GRC's people are still inside.

Not only did Karli steal all of the Power Broker's remaining doses of Super Soldier Serum, but she and the Flag Smashers are also now using it to spread chaos wherever they go. The bad, of course, is that they won't get any more answers or leads from the scientist, and that will surely create complications that we'll see as the story continues
FALCON AND WINTER SOLDIER EPISODES HOW TO
Nagel's death: The good is that he can't make any more Super Soldier Serum, and unless someone else also knows how to create it, Sam, Bucky, and Zemo now have something of an edge in their mission. There's good and bad that comes out of Dr. Nagel was the only one who knew how to craft the Super Soldier Serum, and had made 20 vials so far. (Lots of spontaneous murder in this episode.) Presumably, Dr. Nagel came to Madripoor - with none other than the Power Broker as his financial backer.īefore Sam and Bucky could get any more information out of Dr. He faced yet another complication when he disappeared in Thanos' (Josh Brolin) infamous snap, returning five years later to find the CIA no longer had use for his research. Nagel used the blood samples of unsung Super Soldier Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) to successfully recreate and further refine the serum. However, his career faced a shift when HYDRA collapsed, and he then went to work with the CIA. Nagel explains to Sam, Bucky, and Zemo after they enter his lab, HYDRA recruited him to revitalize the long-dormant Winter Soldier program. , so it's pretty unlikely this is the last time we'll see her.Īs Dr. Of course, Sharon Carter has a long history in the comics as an ally of Captain America, Falcon, and the Winter Soldier, not to mention as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. While Sam promised to get her pardoned upon the mission's completion, until it goes through she's still a wanted fugitive. However, rather than join them for the next stop on their quest, Sharon decides to stay put, fearing the consequences of the crimes she committed in Captain America: Civil War. Sharon goes above and beyond to help Sam, Bucky, and Zemo find their next target, the man responsible for creating the new Super Soldier serum, and then helps them stay alive long enough to flee Madripoor. Her travels led her to Madripoor, where she's built an impressive life for herself within the country's seedy underbelly. For helping them, Sharon was labeled an enemy of the state and had no choice but to escape the U.S. In the 2016 film, she's shown stealing both Sam's Falcon wings and the Captain America shield for Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) from the United States government they'd been confiscated since the heroes were branded criminals for choosing not to sign the Sokovia Accords.
