Hopefully it will result in things moving in a more positive direction for the displaced people of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sam Wilson worked hard to try and convince Karli that he understood her perspective, and while she died doubting his commitment, he proved his morals during his on-camera confrontation with the GRC in the wake of the attack. The silver lining is that the leader of the Flag-Smashers doesn’t die totally in vain. It seems to be Captain America’s intention to take her down peacefully, as his fight with her sees him only making defensive maneuvers against her attacks, but she loses her life when she prepares to shoot Sam Wilson, and instead takes a bullet from Sharon Carter (it’s possible Sharon did it because of her friendship with the hero, but it’s more likely she didn’t want to lose her chance at a pardon, and because Karli was one of the few people who knew her identity as The Power Broker). Also a part of the body count is Karli Morgenthau, who dies in the midst of her attack on the Global Repatriation Council. Of course, it’s not just the detonated members of the Flag-Smashers who lose their lives in the Falcon And The Winter Soldier finale. Will he ever be punished for the crime? Probably not – but it also doesn’t seem like he’s going to be getting a taste of freedom any time soon. We don’t really know how, but Zemo arranges it so that their transport vehicle is rigged with explosives, and the supervillain’s butler is the one who hits the switch. When he made plans to tear the Avengers apart, he succeeded and as depicted in the finale, when he decided that all of the super soldier members of the Flag-Smashers needed to die, he ensured that it would happen.Īs mentioned above, Bucky and John Walker succeed in trapping the key members of the Flag-Smashers, and they get arrested, but sadly none of them ever get to see a jail cell. When he sets his mind to do something, he gets it done. Zemo Is Imprisoned, But He’s Still Executing Super Soldiersįans may have thought that Baron Helmut Zemo was done after The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’s fifth episode, as Bucky Barnes turned him over to the Dora Milaje so that he could be locked up in The Raft – but underestimating Zemo is never a smart call. There has been talk online that fans will get the chance to see Val again soon, as it’s been said that she may pop up in Black Widow, so hopefully we’ll get some answers soon. She doesn’t exactly spell out what her big plans are (what would be the fun in that?), but I’m still sticking with my proposed theory from last week’s feature that she is orchestrating what will end up being a Marvel Cinematic Universe take on Dark Avengers. While many celebrate Sam Wilson becoming Captain America, Val seeks to undermine that position by puppeteering a patriotic hero of her own, namely John Walker as U.S. On a certain level he gets a bit of redemption – but what’s a cause for concern is the person in his life who now seems to be calling all the big shots: Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. He certainly demonstrates a ferocity when fighting with Karli Morgenthau, but he winds up only being an asset as the show’s titular heroes work to rescue members of the GRC and arrest (not kill) key members of the Flag-Smashers. In the finale of The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, John Walker doesn’t really take the scary, villainous turn that some expected. John Walker Has Been Rebranded, And Has A Seemingly Dangerous Handler
Clearly there are safe spaces for him, like the barbeque with Sam’s friends and neighbors, but his life seems to be far from stable.
He has to make a hasty exit from the attack on the GRC, and Yori’s reaction seeing him definitely gives the impression that Bucky isn’t a person who can spend too much time in public places. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like he is going to be finding much peace after the events of The Falcon And The Winter Soldier either, as there is the suggestion that Bucky might be a fugitive once again.īucky definitely takes positive steps in his life through the series, ultimately crossing off all of the names in his book and creating a better relationship with Sam Wilson, but one also can’t forget the illegal things he does – the most significant being breaking Helmut Zemo out of prison (more on him in a bit). He enlisted with the Army during World War II, spent the majority of the 20th century as a brainwashed assassin, and since being rehabilitated he has still found himself regularly at the center of all kinds of superhero madness. The Winter Soldier Appears To Be On The Run AgainĪs an adult, Bucky Barnes has never had a calm life.
