(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.

how would he feel about an old-money aristocrat who is also a basically a superhuman?

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

Yep. Conspicuously absent from this show has been any discussion of the family Zemo lost during the Sokovia Incident—I wonder if we're supposed to read into that scene with the vials a sort of "No. It won't bring them back." I mean, I guess we *can*.

He mentions his son when he's giving out the candy to the kids

oh right! So maybe he *is* thinking about his family in the moment with the vials
