That description could also describe Steve Rogers, who even after becoming disillusioned by the government would fight for a just cause. Sam asks back, “Well, can’t I be a little bit of both?” And he’s right. “You’re either brilliant or hopelessly optimistic,” chides Karli. After Zemo (really the only person moving the plot forward) finds out where the funeral for Karli’s surrogate mother Donya Madani will be held, Sam attempts to use his grief counseling background to rationalize with the lead Flag Smasher, acknowledging the helplessness of the needy, but assuring her that killing people doesn’t make it a better world.

Karli has not gone full Red Skull, but she is seemingly fighting the divergent aspects of her personality. Revisiting that line, however, in the wake of “The Whole World Is Watching,” brings all sorts of shades of gray to what was once a fairly black-and-white issue (Cap:good::Red Skull:bad). In the film, this is used primarily to distinguish Steve from Red Skull, the first recipient of Erskine’s formula, whose quest for power would become his ultimate undoing. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) the night before Steve Rogers is given his dose of the super-soldier serum (alongside a whole bunch of vita-rays), which transforms the scrawny and scrappy kid from Brooklyn into the original Star-Spangled Man with a Plan, Captain America.

The world of the MCU post-blip is awful (and, unfortunately, sounds a lot like our world), with income inequality growing more cavernous and government aid less and less reliable.ĭuring a mission to retrieve the rest of the super-soldier serum she and the other Flag Smashers stole from the Power Broker, Karli and one of her acolytes have a long conversation about Captain America, where her follower suggests she could be the new Cap as “a leader who looks like them, who understand their pain.” Karli is trying to rectify the ills of the world through an “eat the rich” philosophy, but her methods seem a tad messy and too often villainous. De-facto leader of The Flag Smashers Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) finds herself in a very similar position. It’s what led to his dissatisfaction with the stars and stripes and his crossing of a patriotic Maginot Line. If he saw a situation pointed south, as in “Captain America: Civil War,” he couldn’t ignore it.
Steve Rogers, the Jack Pearson of superheroes, was unflinchingly perfect. “I don’t want to kill anyone, but I don’t like bullies I don’t care where they’re from.” – Steve Rogers ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ Review: Episode 2 Reunites the MCU’s Preeminent Comedic Duo
