      (Yes, I know that the super-soldier serum isn't technically the same thing as the heart-shaped herb But saying that Zemo's whole argument specifically applies only to the weaknesses of Erskine's formula is the kind of tedious argument that people make fun of comic books for)

      (FYI Ryan Coogler doesn't care that much about this distinction and in the commentary for Black Panther freely refers to T'Challa's powers as making him a "super-soldier")

      But then you could make this point in general about the MCU being "one continuity" being problematic and how movies don't talk about other movies as much as they logically should Isn't the Hulk a way, way, WAY more salient argument about the dangers of superhumans than Karli

      Hell it should be the only thing anyone talks about AT ALL with this argument It's the big green elephant in the room "Yeah Bruce Banner injected himself because everyone thought he was this gentle softboi nerd Now the city of Lagos is a pile of rubble"

      (The fact that the rejoinder to this argument is "Well just don't use the gamma rays, then, stupid! It was the gamma rays that were the problem!" is why comic books are dumb and people who care about them, like myself, are dumb)

      here's a way of reading what's up with zemo he's an old-money aristocrat from europe, and he feels status threat from *certain* superhumans based on that. that's the actual key to this, not the abstract philosophical stuff he goes on about.

      To be fair they show Zemo's philosophy being very conspicuously put to the test when he picks up one of the vials and clearly has the opportunity to take it for himself but just starts smashing them all instead

      This is obviously meant to be a contrast between Zemo's integrity and John Walker's Remembering that Walker used the Flag-Smashers' status as unlicensed super-soldiers to go after them as hard as he did in the first place

          Yeah, they set up a spectrum from Hoskins (yes) to Walker (supposedly hesitant but not really) to Sam (definitely not). But the real "no" pole is Zemo's "No and destroy it all" where Sam seems to turn it down more out of modesty, like someone else might be worthy.

          Replying to @mattsaler @arthur_affect @perdricof

          Yep I mean it's not actually a philosophical contradiction that Zemo has no stated objection to things like the Inhumans of Afterlife, or whatever His opposition to super-soldiers is MUCH more rooted in an distaste for eugenics, hence his "obsession with HYDRA" Designer babies
