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. Is this the big thing that the Flag Smashers have been planning all along in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Speaking of, Flag Smashers leader Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) unmasks herself in a different scene.John Walker isn't going to come in quietly in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5. “You gotta give me the shield.” Cut to an intelligence room somewhere - and a shocked chief - that seems to be in lockdown mode given the red lighting, and what looks like a biological or chemical attack. “We don't want anyone else to get hurt,” Sam tells Walker as we see the latter from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4, looking out at the crowd that's gathered around him after what he did in Latvia with the shield. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5 reiterates - SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 4 - the coming fight between Sam (Anthony Mackie), Bucky (Sebastian Stan), and the current Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell). It features bits of some new footage alongside stuff we saw earlier in the week in the falsely-labelled “mid-season” trailer - we're four episodes into a six-episode season, so that technically doesn't fit. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5 is out Friday on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar, and Marvel has released a 15-second trailer ahead of its premiere that teases what to expect from the penultimate episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries.
