One World, One People- Thank you once more for this amazing reaction to this fantastic finale of The Falcon and the Winter Solider, Reds!! Or rather... Captain America and the Winter Soldier. :)
First of all... It's just like I've said in my other comments. It doesn't matter what color Sam's, or Captain America's skin is. Steve chose Sam to take up the reign of the new Captain America, solely because Sam is truly a good and honorable man and because he has the strength to be a hero much like Steve was as he wields the shield. It's sad that this show's creators felt the need to even make racism such a big deal throughout this show, because it certainly wasn't needed. It's just another forced agenda that Marvel and Disney wanted to force upon us. We don't need the reminder that racism exists. We know, because it's everywhere.
In regards to Sam telling the world and the Council in the ending that he understands that there will be people who hate him for taking up the shield and becoming Captain America because of the color of his skin, just like Isaiah Bradley does... Sadly, it is true that people would hate him for doing so, because as a man of color, other people of color feel that Sam is betraying them by falling for Steve Rogers' ideals... The ideals of a White man with blond hair and blue eyes, as people claim. When these ideals should be what everyone believes in, regardless of the color of our skin. These people will see Sam as a traitor to their own kind, even though we are all equal no matter the color of our skin. Sadly, many Black people today do feel this way. They either believe that they are more superior to everyone who is White because they feel that it's their time to be the superior ones, or they feel that everyone who is White hate them still and so they hate them all right back. Me personally... I don't believe this way because I do believe that all men are created equal regardless of the color of their skin. And I love everyone no matter what skin color they are. But tragically... I am still hated today by numerous people simply because I am a White woman whom they don't believe is capable of caring about anyone who is Black. Which is not at all true. Just like all White people who claim to love everyone are hated. And it breaks my heart. I've been accused of being racist for the stupidest reasons, and even fired from a job once because someone accused me of being racist. When it was not so.
With all of that out of the way... Kharli's death is a tragedy, but it's of her own making. She chose to hate everyone she saw as her enemy because of everything that's come about in the world ever since the blip, and she refused to listen to Sam, who tried to teach her to let go of her hate and anger so that he could help her. I understand Kharli's desire to help all the people she's fighting for, but she became the problem that needed to be stopped by our heroes when she began to fight in all the wrong ways. Especially when she began killing people in order to try to force everyone to do what she wanted them to do for her. Zemo was absolutely right about her.
In answer to your question as to who killed the remaining super soldiers... It was Zemo who had them killed. This is why he's shown in the very ending as he smiles upon hearing over the news that they had been killed in a bombing. Zemo had his butler, whom we meet back in the third episode, titled... The Power Broker, plant the bomb under the van and set off the charges to blow the van up with them inside. Zemo's butler is the old man who tended to Zemo on their plane in the third episode.
And as for the big reveal that Sharon has been the Power Broker this whole time... All of the hints were there, so this reveal to me wasn't a big shock. And while it's tragic that Peggy Carter's own niece has now become a traitor to her country, and has become a rising villain as well, I'm not too upset about it. Sharon has always been just an okay character for me. I liked her enough, so seeing her become bad is sad. It's just that I never liked the idea of her and Steve getting together when a relationship between them was briefly hinted at back in Captain America: Civil War. I am grateful that nothing ever did come between them. Especially now that we see that she's chosen to become a traitor because she had been wronged by the US government. Bucky was deeply wronged by the government, and so many other people such as Hydra, too. And yet he's still the good man that he always was back before Hydra turned him into the Winter Soldier through so much pain. The good man that he always has been. And now... The world is finally starting to see him as a hero again, thanks to all his efforts to save everyone from the Flag Smashers while he continues to fight at Sam's side. So, I am not really too disappointed by seeing Sharon now a villain. I'm more sad that she's become a traitor, while using her Aunt's name... The Carter name, to help her get everything she wants. However, I am excited to see what's to come of her! And I hope that Sam and Bucky will eventually come to discover the truth about her becoming a traitor, then take her down. :)
And lastly, in answer to your question regarding who the fighter with a hatred for Sam is within these final two episodes... He's a small character within the MCU known as Batroc. He is also the same man whom Sam fought in the beginning of the first episode within this series. The soldier in charge of the terrorists who kidnapped an American soldier, whom Sam rescues from Batroc in the beginning. This is why Batroc hates Sam so much, because Sam lost him the money he would have earned for the American soldier he kidnapped. Batroc was also briefly in one of the previous Marvel movies... Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Steve fights against him and wins, sending Batroc to an Algerian prison, which is revealed to be the same prison Sharon uses her influences to help break him out of in this series so that he can keep an eye on the Flag Smashers for her, and get his revenge on Sam.
Overall... I love this show very much! I love seeing Sam as the new Captain America, and I love his new vibranuim wings and suit made for him in Wakanda at Bucky's request. I love Bucky's and Sam's friendship and partnership, and I absolutely hope to see much more with them working together in future shows and movies! And they are both definitely coming back in future movies that are scheduled to be released in 2024, or 2025. Captain America: New World Order and The Thunderbolts! Both of which I am so excited for!! :)
Thank you very much once again, my dear friend! I am very excited for all of your reactions for Black Widow and Hawkeye to come! :)
Sincerely,
Heidi
