![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Loki, who killed what was probably thousands of innocent people when he attacked New York City in Avengers, is now getting his own TV show.Īt the end of episode 5, the Dora Milaje capture Zemo and tell Bucky they are taking him to The Raft, a prison in the middle of the sea where Bucky, Sam and Cap’s other allies were once held during Captain America: Civil War. This is not the first time that Marvel would have transformed one of its most popular and eccentric villains into an anti-hero. Zemo has a sympathetic backstory-the Avengers accidentally murdered his family-and plenty of charm. Even Thanos has a point about the environment, though he could have used the Infinity Stones to double the resources in the universe rather than cutting the number of living beings in half. In Black Panther, Killmonger is right about Wakanda’s imperative to help those impacted by a long history of colonialism and racism-it’s his violent means to that end that are the problem. But Marvel has a way of swaying our sympathies toward villains who speak truth to power. And it’s not totally clear how Marvel might help Zemo win the audience over again. Yes, Zemo murdered Black Panther’s father, T’Chaka. They will likely supplant the now mostly-defunct HYDRA as the villainous presence in the future Captain America stories. Given Val’s connections, it seems that, like HYDRA, Leviathan has infiltrated the U.S. We can even speculate that perhaps Natasha used to work for Leviathan or for Val. Val’s Russian origins would explain how she might play into the Black Widow plot since Natasha Romanoff was also trained as a covert Russian agent before defecting to the U.S. Leviathan was a rival of HYDRA and briefly showed up onscreen in the short-lived MCU TV series Agent Carter. But it’s eventually revealed that she is a double agent and in fact works for the Russian spy ring Leviathan. But we do meet her in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as a mysterious figure eager to fund the further adventures of the erratic John Walker after he’s stripped of his Captain America title. ![]()
