To me it makes sense as a strategic thing -- if Baron Zemo is so visible and flamboyant with the fur collar and the purple ski mask and swanning around in limos then the instant he ditches all that shit he instantly becomes an invisible generic white guyhttps://twitter.com/KittenBalerion/status/1381348052062076939 …

I'm with you, Arthur - Zemo is a man of purpose; everything he does has reasons. While he probably does enjoy his comforts, I don't believe he has only one reason for anything he does.

The fact that they're writing him as several steps ahead of Sam and Bucky makes it much better that Civil War didn't make him Hydra. The MCU does NOT need its own Hans Landa.

The love-to-hate-him thing is why I'm calling him the MCU's Zizek Every single thing he says makes people want to punch his smug face in but there's always someone in the room going "Okay, but, he has a point"

The performance is really good for that.

I wish they had a more coherent sense of what they're all against other than 'supremacists' and the assumption that the serum corrupts everyone.

It doesn't corrupt Steve (OK, fine, he's special). It hasn't corrupted Karli either, though. It didn't corrupt Bucky, he was brainwashed. Red Skull was already like that.

It MAY have corrupted Karli We don't know, because we've never met the Karli before the serum, but the current one seems dangerously blasé about killing civilians to accomplish a political goal

I question whether the serum 'corrupts' anybody. Oh, sure, there could be psychoactive side-effects, but the MCU is not particularly slavish to the comics. But the serum doesn't need to be psychoactive to be corruptive; the greater sense of license, lessened vulnerability is.

Yeah you could easily interpret it either way And Dr. Nagle specifically said this version of the serum is "subtler" than the old one and doesn't make obvious external physical changes

That would be why it doesn't require a whole machine and it's just a shot that you can apparently give yourself.

As somebody said memorably elsewhere, "Did he chug it like a jello-shot?"
