It's easy to understand why Karli Morgenthau feels so wronged by the world government, and a little harder to understand why Sam and Bucky are freeing one of their known supervillains from prison in order to stop her. WandaVision leaned into this disconnect by having Wanda seal herself off from the outside world to cope, but The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a little more ambiguous. The "Blip" was engineered to give the original Avengers a noble last ride by sacrificing themselves to save the new generation, but as a result the characters who got dusted like Sam, Bucky, and even Wanda are totally disconnected from the world around them, which has clearly been through some dark years in the interim. I think it speaks to some of the MCU's confusion about how exactly to handle the five-year timeskip from Endgame. (While all of this was going on, Sharon was busy kicking the butts of every bounty-hunter that followed them to the shipping yard, another great showcase for VanCamp's dance background and mastery of fight choreography).Ĭhristian's Take: I must say, the fake commercial for the Global Repatriation Council that opens this episode is not nearly as fun as the fictional ads that were dispersed throughout WandaVision. Anyway, Zemo, who still believes what he believes, murders Nagel so that his Super Soldier serum dies with him. While all of this exposition felt necessary, something about it left me feeling cold and unsatisfied. After returning in the Blip, Nagel refined and perfected his Super Soldier serum for the Power Broker, but Karli Morgenthau stole every vial. Nagel arrogantly reveals he was able to recreate the Super Soldier serum thanks to a sample of Isaiah Bradley's DNA the CIA gave him, a revelation that shakes Sam to his core given what he just learned about Bradley. So, the foursome heads to a shipping yard, where they find Nagel hanging out in a lab. Despite her better judgement, Sharon agrees to help them find Nagel in exchange for Sam clearing her name once this mess is resolved.
