the falcon and the winter soldier episode 3 has just released on disney plus and i've had a chance
to watch the episode which includes a return from zemo some good action marvel easter eggs
and more to break down in particular i'm going to be explaining the plot and ending for episode
3 of the new marvel show entitled power broker in the aim to help you guys gather a greater sense of
what's happened this analysis will also contain spoilers so if you do happen to be someone who

marvel shows then don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on your notifications
also if you enjoy this video remember to leave a like rating but without further ado let's
dive into my breakdown and explained video for episode 3 of the falcon and the winter soldier
so the falcon and the winter soldier has finally started to heat up this week bringing in more of
the captain america characters and moving the plot along in a solid direction i didn't enjoy
the first two episodes as much because of the slow building interest of the story alongside some of
the characters but this one is definitely a step in the right direction this week's installment
brings in two familiar characters with daniel brawls zemo the mastermind behind all the scraps
in civil war and emily vancamp's sharon carter the grand niece of steve rogers one true love peggy
who is revealed to be pretty handy in a fight herself anyway now all of these figures are
together in the disney plus sandbox and it's time for the falcon and the winter soldier to kick into
gear and on that front episode 3 did not disappoint beginning with a reminder that
john walker isn't quite the captain america we're used to it's not long before we're back with bucky
and zemo as they face off in a cell last time this happened bucky went on a killing spree
but this time he's not under zemo's control or at least not directly because somehow even from his
position of weakness zemo seems to be pulling the strings within minutes of catching up with bucky
he's convinced him and sam break him out of jail or at least convinced bucky who has already
orchestrated the escape before sam knows about it a moment later and he's got them on his private
plane sipping champagne as he brings them to a mysterious island nation called madripal where
the free hope to find the truth about the super soldier serum that's apparently empowered the flag
smashers altogether zemo is having a lot more fun here than he did in captain america civil war and
in fact i can't remember him ever being as sassy whether he's convincing sam to try out his awesome
clothing or a marvin gaye soundtrack this version of zemo adds a certain flash of fun to the events
and they've even now made him a baron tying into his comic book persona where he's a masked villain
called baron zemo and yes it's the same mask he wears in this particular episode but in madrupore
a fake country apparently taken from the marvel comics the unlikely trio follow a series of quests
which involves bucky going undercover as his former winter soldier self this eventually
leads to the death of a significant crime boss and a bounty being announced on sam zemo and
bucky but luckily they have someone looking out for them this one person involves the
reintroduction of sharon carter introduced as a potential love interest for steve rogers in the
second captain america film sharon hasn't exactly been a huge part of the mcu but after stealing
back captain america's shield and sam's wings for the climactic battle in captain america civil war
she's apparently a wanted woman forced to live on the run and move into crime to support herself
sam blames his years blipped for his lack of attempts to help her but this whole situation does
slightly strain that something is true here in the five years or so between infinity war and most of
endgame did steve really not think to help sharon when all she did was pick up some gear for him
considering pretty much all the avengers on steve's side did worse than sharon
and were pardoned why is she getting the short end either way the experience has left sharon
pretty cynical but willing to help in return for a pardon before long she's brought sam bucky and
zemo to a shipping container which is actually a secret lab containing wilfred nagel but don't
worry about remembering his name because he'll be dead in a few minutes before he goes though
wilfred handily gives us some plot exposition about what exactly is going on turns out that
he was hired by hydra then the cia to recreate the super soldier serum using blood samples from
asia bradley to make a more streamlined easier to administer serum isaiah was introduced last week
as a kind of follow-up captain america though if they recreated the serum well enough in the 1950s
to make him when did they lose the formula again but then we learned that nagel was blipped his
research gathering dust and when he returned he went to the mysterious power broker to have it
continued more profitably unfortunately for him carly and her flag smashers stole all 20 vials
giving them the strength we've seen in previous episodes his job done nagel is promptly shot by
zemo who's still on his anti-superhero crusade and sharon's attempts to fight off thugs outside
leads to the explosion of the lap it seems like zemo marston dangerous could be behind it
all but after fighting a few of the bounty hunters he instead finds another fancy car and picks up
his new partners ready to chase down a lead about carly must i say i'm excited to see more of this
unlikely trio as it was by far the standout thing in this episode but back to the events carly
herself is mourning a friend who died stealing food supplies and getting more ruthless day by day
elsewhere her pursuer john walker is getting frustrated by the dead ends opting to go off
books himself to track down sam bucky and zemo and in turn hopefully completing his mission and if
that wasn't enough there's another interesting plot point in riga where kali was hinted to be
bucky notes a small metal sphere on the ground following a trail he finds his way to meet a
familiar face introduced in civil war i was wondering when you were going to show up he
says to florence kasumba's io a member of the wakunden royal guard last seen in black panther
i'm here for zemo she replies as helpfully noted earlier in the episode the wakundens
have not forgiven him for orchestrating the death of their previous king t'chaka
but that was my brief breakdown video explaining the plot and ending for episode 3 of the falcon
and the winter soldier so this was a particularly packed episode and a slightly longer than normal
one as we got more of a sense of the shape that the falcon and the winter soldier is taking
clearing up the mystery of the flag smashers this early was probably a good move though we
still don't know who the power broker is and zemo has brought a surprising amount of fun
and laughs for a guy who previously spent his time listening to voicemails of his dead family and
doing murders and the wakanda based twist well it may be our first look at how marvel
will continue that country's story following the tragic death of chadwick boseman last year
and is sure to attract some attention for that how exactly is all all tied together in the
end is anyone's guess but it definitely feels like we're building towards something bigger
i'm giving episode 3 of the falcon and the winter soldier an 8 out of 10. i hope you
