'The Falcon And The Winter Soldier' Climbs To No. Frankly, it doesn’t make any sense that Sharon would be the Power Broker: Why in the world would she lead Sam, Bucky and Zemo to Nagle, the architect of the super serum in Episode 3? And why would she let Zemo shoot Nagle? Nonetheless, EP Malcolm Spellman leaves us with an intriguing cliffhanger as to what Sharon will do next.
We had bigger hopes of a more nefarious figure in the MCU, such as William Hurt’s General “Thunderbolt” Ross who had his own agenda with re-creating the super serum in The Incredible Hulk, but alas, it was you, Sharon.
