Helmut Zemo is clearly speaking sense when he says she’s been completely radicalized. Hurting the powers-that-be now seems more important to her than helping people in need – to the point she’s prepared to join forces with known criminals like the returning Georges Batroc. While The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has – up to now – made great efforts to emphasize the Flag Smashers’ humanitarian motives, here Karli starts morphing into a more two-dimensional villain – and she’s much less interesting as a result. Karli Morgenthau is also struggling to stay on the right side of the Serum’s corrupting influence. Especially now that the incredibly charismatic Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has paid him a visit, seemingly looking for a way to exploit his unique set of skills. Now disillusioned with the army, but still obsessed with fulfilling his calling as Captain America, Walker may be more dangerous than ever. When the finely tuned human weapon malfunctions, is it the fault of the Super-Soldier himself, or the institution that created him? As he tells the tribunal, he’s spent his entire life living by military mandates, only doing what they’ve asked of him – and doing it well. In fact, it’s only his exemplary record that saves him from a court martial.Īnd yet, despite the many questionable decisions he’s made in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – and his false claims that the man he murdered was Lemar Hoskins’ killer – you still sympathize with the way he’s been treated. It turns out that Captain America killing a foreign national in a public place is kind of a big deal – enough, in fact, to see Sam and Bucky removed from the investigation – and Walker finds himself given an “other than honorable discharge” from a US Army he’s served with distinction. Inevitably, this means the book being thrown at Walker with all the intensity of a flying shield.
John Walker isn't going to come in quietly in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5.
