8/3/2023 0 Comments Falcon and winter soldier zemo![]() There is a fun dynamic between Baron Zemo, Sam, and Bucky, that even though it will inevitably end badly, further humanizes the villain. Baron Zemo’s fear of another Red Skull is far cry from his depiction in the comics in which Helmut Zemo, the son of a Nazi scientist and ’40s Captain America villain, Heinrich Zemo, has often found himself allied with Red Skull and his ambitions for world domination.īaron Zemo definitely can’t be trusted, and he’s not a “good guy,” but he’s not without his merits, even beyond his killer dance moves and appreciation for Marvin Gaye’s Trouble Man. Baron Zemo is right to be concerned about the rise of another Red Skull, and the abuses of power that could follow when people start seeing super-powered beings only as symbols of might equalling right, rather than individuals with human flaws. As often as the Super-Soldier is tied to the legacy of Captain America, it’s key to note that the same attempt at creating the formula drove Nazi lieutenant general Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) into further madness and created an even more powerful monster. The new serum, created by Wilfred Nagel (another nod to Truth: Red, White & Black) and built off of samples taken from Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), may have unrevealed side effects. So as the world stands on the cusp of bringing together a new team of Avengers, as established in Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), which takes place two months after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Baron Zemo isn’t entirely out of pocket for being concerned about what this could mean for a world still reeling from the Avengers’ prior missteps.Īs Baron Zemo points out to Sam and Bucky, the existence of a new Super-Soldier serum only exacerbates his concerns. ![]() ![]() Beyond the creation of Ultron and destruction of Sokovia that kicked off Baron Zemo’s mission, their inability to come together led to Thanos’ victory and the five years that followed. Unchecked, the Avengers can be dangerous, doing as much harm as good. He sees himself as a righteous man, and unlike so many villains who have the same outlook, Baron Zemo actually has a point. But Zemo nee Baron Zemo, has never been a traditional villain in the MCU. Both revelations, along with his spiffy new outfit and mask, push Zemo closer to his comic book counterpart. So, what’s Zemo’s endgame?Īudiences learn that not only is Zemo actually a Baron, but he has strong ties to Madripoor, an island safe-haven for the criminal underworld. It stands to reason that as much as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is about the evolution of Sam and Bucky, it’s also about the evolution of Zemo, and what he’ll become next. He’s not only one of the most significant adversaries in the MCU, but one of the most notable reoccurring villains in Marvel Comics. This is Zemo we’re talking about after all. While the third episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, “Power Broker,” directed by Kari Skogland, and written by the mastermind behind the John Wick franchise, Derek Kolstad, sees Zemo teaming up with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp), it’s clear he has his own agenda.
