How can it be Zemo if he's been in prison the whole time? He definitely seems to have a presence in Madripoor

There's also a chance we won't find out who the Power Broker is, but I'll feel a bit short-changed if that ends up being the case.

And a chance it's someone we haven't met at all yet. The secrecy could be a bait.

It's Evan Peters

It’s Patrick Stewart, who is being controlled by Vinny Jones as Juggernaut

It's Mephisto.

I've just been assuming the power broker was something for comic book fans to be all "I know that character" about. As a result, I haven't given their identity a second thought :lol:

Power Broker is a pretty minor character in the comics who was responsible for giving US Agent his Cap-esque powers. Good that they've brought him/her in, and I'm expecting the reveal of who they are to be a bit of fun!

Sometimes they play around with identities against the comics so they could easily have given someone else the Power Broker moniker

I think they’re setting up a swerve with Batroc and Sharon Carter where she’s paying him a boatload of cash to covertly help Falcon, and is not actually the power broker. It just feels too obvious, you know? She wouldn’t have bothered saving them in Madripoor if she was just gonna have them killed.

I really hope they've nailed the Sharon play makes sense because I kind of feel the whole thing will fall down if it doesn't.

Also, FYI there's a post credit scene (I nearly missed it)

Holy gooseberry fool that was another amazing episode.

Yeah, I thought 3 dipped in quality but 4 and 5 have knocked it out the park.

1x05- Was not expecting to see Julia Louis Dreyfus :lol:

-Zemo lives! They're definitely doing the Thunderbolts as Marvel's Suicide Squad.
-Somewhat surprised the Wakandans were happy to give Bucky a whole vibranium Captain America suit after he broke out Zemo.
- Carl Lumbly was fantastic

great episode

I was being more literal. There was a Thunderbolts run a decade ago where inmates of The Raft were co-opted to be on a superhero team to work off their sentence. The original Thunderbolts were a team of supervillains led by Zemo pretending to be superheroes.

was that the ones formed during civil war? I never followed them to closely

I doubt this version of zemo would run a super team fake or otherwise

Why do we have to wait a week to see how it ends?

Did anyone else think they completely ripped off Hans Zimmer's Dark Knight score in that opening scene? It sounded so much like the Two Face track from the end of the film that it couldn't have been an accident.

Very good episode again, not quite as intense as last week but then this was stronger from a character perspective.

And as has been mentioned I really hope the Sharon stuff is more than it appears at the moment

Really like the Isaiah Bradley character. Hope they can close it out in a smart way.
