Also side note: The show makes it so clear that originally, Karli and the Flagsmashers are stealing food and medicine, nothing else. Yet they're already branded terrorists long before they do anything openly hostile. Also not something many people acknowledge. //

I meaaaaan.... They were branded like that by the American government, right? It fits with the rela Americans government tbh lol

oh yes of course it fits, it's 100% how the US government (and other governments) operate against anyone who resists violent oppression, especially if like the Flagsmashers they're largely bipoc. Fandom just missed the point where you're meant to walk away NOT agreeing with Walker and the US government - you're meant to at LEAST question the validity of that label and the timing of its use in comparison to the Flagsmasher's actual canon actions.

Man the Flagsmashers are some of the biggest victims of the "The bad guys have a a good point, so let's make them do some undeniably evil shit so the audience doesn't like them too much" trope. All they really wanted to have the world support each other

Crazy to me that I still see people defending John Walker for killing that Flagsmasher cause the Flagsmashers killed Lamar. Cause like even disregarding the fact that he's Captain America, John Walker, a member of the United States military, murdered an unarmed, surrendered, and innocent (at least of the crime John was killing him for) assailant, on a rogue mission, in a foreign country that he had no right to be in in the first place. John. Committed. A. War. Crime. No shit he had the title of Captain America stripped away

Echo's costume designers when Marvel already ripped off indigenous symbolism for their non-indigenous villains on Falcon and the Winter Soldier and have to do Maya Lopez' costume without her trademark handprint.

Why couldn’t the Flagsmashers have come up with a better name? 

They had half a decade to it. 

I mean, come on.

Steve Rogers: If you threaten or harm my best friend I could kill you, even if you're my other friend.

John Walker: If you harm my best friend I will kill you.

Sam Wilson: If you threaten or harm my friend/sister I will give you a pep talk and let you shoot me (unless, of course, the Power Broker 'saves' me).

This is Marvel, everybody. PS: Zemo was right.

Notice how Marvel creates or chooses a small innocent-looking girl with refugee status to push the idea that a world without borders will be totally OK.

No, sir. It's not OK. That's literally a NWO, One World Government agenda (One World, One People), the kind of stuff that Hydra would totally be into.

The sovereignty of world nations would be destroyed under an international no borders ideology and they'd all be answering to one (emperialist) central power eventually. And seeing that all this time the 'Flagsmashers' (meaning to dissolve the sovereignty and independence of nations) were under the Power Broker's influence, you know the kind of 'leadership' we'd get.

That's why I never liked Karli or the Flagsmashers as an idea in the first place. The more you know...

They were WORLDWIDE. They could have set up diversions to throw off the scent! Had high up people using their resources! But instead they only show six actually doing things. Disappointing.

yah seriously??? they were set up as this high tech extremely organized group with world wide anonymous minions and it just ended up being karli and friends ......... I realize it’s implied sharon as powerbroker gave karli her position & karli didn’t adhere to the plan but ...... STILL
