![]() ![]() Adaptational Villainy: Sharon Carter in the comics was always an ally of Captain America's as well as stayed loyal to SHIELD and their friends even after quitting the organization.He's a flawed man to be sure, but at heart, he is a good man. Most consistently, he's an unapologetic jerk who frequently feels Steve Rogers doesn't really represent " the real America." Here, he has nothing but respect for Steve's legacy and honestly tries his best to live up to it. John Walker as US Agent in comics typically represents the worst aspects of America in the political climate at the time a given story is written.At the end, even after Karli had been killed by Sharon, he tears into the senators that because the situation was as bad as it is, people helped "a misguided teenager" fight against governments because her/the Flag-Smashers goals were well-intentioned, and that they'd better try to improve the situation before the next Karli gets desperate enough to resort to such extreme measures. Notably, Sam defends the group on numerous occasions, with his main concern being the fact they've all got Super Soldier abilities, making them dangerous. As the series goes on, their only crimes as a group amount to helping refugees and providing medicine for those in need, while Karli herself increasingly escalates them into terrorist acts and threatening Sam's family - she doesn't exactly like doing so, but feels that it is all necessary for the cause, yet by the end even her supporters are visibly uncomfortable/reluctant with following through these acts. Karli Morgenthau and the Flag-Smashers come off as a much more earnest group than they are in the comics, due to Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters being in play (something lampshaded by Karli herself in the fourth episode).Here, the character was re-imagined as a young girl and the name is given to the group she leads. Adaptation Deviation: In the comics, Flag-Smasher (who Karli is based on), was a middle-aged man.Anthony Mackie (Sam) was born and raised in the city. ![]()
