In this entry, we examine The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 5 (\u201cTruth\u201d) and unpack a new villain\u2019s arrival. Yes, prepare for SPOILERS.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>After the events of last week\u2019s episode, John Walker (<strong>Wyatt Russell<\/strong>) has no one backing him up. His sidekick is a corpse. His government is dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed. His wife \u2014 is clueless but supportive. He made Captain America a murderer, and the world doesn\u2019t want him carrying that shield anymore. Certainly not Sam Wilson (<strong>Anthony Mackie<\/strong>) and Bucky Barnes (<strong>Sebastian Stan<\/strong>), the sometimes Avengers who tag-team crush him the moment <strong><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em><\/strong> Episode 5 kicks off. Walker is all jacked up on Super-Soldier serum with nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>Enter surprise guest-star <strong>Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>as the formidably monikered\u00a0Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine. She stomps into the scene shortly after Walker is s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped of his authority. Before the faux Cap starts crying in his beer, Val (she\u2019s into, but not into <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Be7Og9Gc_KY\">that whole brevity thing<\/a>) offers her advice and services to Walker and his wife. She assures him that \u201cthe guys in ties\u201d are not actually upset about the Flag-Smasher he decapitated, but it\u2019s the optics that are more worrisome.<\/p>\n<p>Val practically swoons over Walker, confirming his actions as righteous when he injected the serum into his veins. He\u2019s now valuable to \u201cthe right people,\u201d and a new life awaits him on the other end of her mysteriously blank business card. Walker should relax and prepare for her phone call. When he answers, it will be the best decision he\u2019s ever made \u2014 well, tied with marrying his beautiful bride, of course.<\/p>\n<p>And, with that, the Contessa struts from the picture, and Walker, as well as the audience, are left scratching their heads. Who was that confident and seemingly nefarious stranger? Oh, only the best-kept secret in Marvel Studios\u2019 history and a potentially massive new threat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe citizenry.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> Episode 5 was not supposed to be Val\u2019s first appearance. She was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2021\/04\/julia-louis-dreyfus-marvel-villain-character-contessa-valentina-allegra-de-fontaine\">originally scheduled to debut within <strong><em>Black Widow<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, but plans were shattered and rearranged thanks to 2020. We still must wait and see how Val fits into the Scarlett Johansson blockbuster. She may still pose a problem there or be excised completely given Marvel\u2019s updated strategy. It is certain that Louis-Dreyfus will not be contained inside <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em>\u2018s single season.<\/p>\n<p>In the comics (ah, those three beautiful words), Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine is a Soviet sleeper agent recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. She initially impressed Nick Fury when she bested him in hand-to-hand combat, and she became a star pupil of his for a while. They had a short fling, but her rampant flirtations with Steve Rogers disrupted their romantic bliss.<\/p>\n<p>Under President Nixon\u2019s orders, Fury tasked Val as S.H.I.E.L.D.\u2019s Femme Force leader. Alongside Sharon Carter (<strong>Emily VanCamp<\/strong> in the show) and various other female agents, Val accomplished the dirtiest of dirty work. The team never disbanded, but it quietly stopped being referenced at Marvel. I mean, that name is a big eye-roll, even in 1971 when it first got uttered.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most important to <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> is where Val eventually wound up. The Contessa secretly engaged the terrorist organization known as Hydra and became its figurehead, a.k.a. Madame Hydra. She is no loyalist and would eventually betray one villainous cell for another, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leviathan_(Marvel_Comics)\">the Soviet group, Leviathan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The comic book Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine is a master manipulator. She\u2019s on the other side of the coin from Nick Fury. With the MCU version currently scouring the spaceways, a power vacuum has immerged on Earth. As we saw in <strong><em>Spider-Man<\/em>: <\/strong><em><strong>Far From Home<\/strong><\/em>, Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) is struggling to fill Fury\u2019s shoes \u2026 and skin. With John Walker, Val could be assembling her own soldiers to aid her clandestine global stranglehold.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in the MCU, there are several villains still in play. Marvel Studios does not currently seem interested in killing off their baddies as the credits roll on their films. Zemo (Daniel Br\u00fchl) is in Wakandan custody, sure, but he has trouble staying put. S.W.O.R.D. similarly constrains <strong><em>WandaVision<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s witchy Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), but can mortal bonds hold her?<\/p>\n<p>Toward the end of <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> Episode 5, Sharon Carter once again calls Batroc the Leaper (<strong>Georges St-Pierre<\/strong>) to help the Flag-Smashers raid the Global Repatriation Council conference in New York City. It\u2019s starting to look more and more like Sharon is the Power Broker, eager to reclaim the Super-Soldiers for her purposes. Or, more likely, Sharon is undercover, working for the Power Broker, who is, in actuality, Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, Marvel doesn\u2019t call in Julia Louis-Dreyfus for a one-off. The studio is establishing her as a major MCU player. Whether she\u2019s the Power Broker or Madame Hydra, she\u2019s constructing a domination scheme, and if you\u2019re going to do that in Phase 4, you\u2019re going to need a helluva team to challenge the Avengers.<\/p>\n<p>Zemo\u2019s comic book counterpart <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marvel.fandom.com\/wiki\/Thunderbolts_(Earth-616)\">has his Thunderbolts<\/a>. They\u2019re the anti-Avengers, a goon squad that masquerades as good guys. Val could be their Fury to Zemo\u2019s Tony Stark. Heck, at a certain point, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Thadeus Ross (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com\/wiki\/Thaddeus_Ross\"><em>The Incredible Hulk<\/em>\u2018s William Hurt<\/a>) ran a similar group with the same name and dosed himself with gamma radiation that transformed him into a Red Hulk. So, there\u2019s your muscle.<\/p>\n<p>And, yeah, John Walker is their Cap. In the <em>Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> Episode 5 post-credits sequence, we see Walker hammering a makeshift shield together. On its front, he solders on his three Medals of Honor. He\u2019s gonna show Sam and Bucky that he\u2019s Captain America, and he\u2019s gonna jam that janky shield down their throats.<\/p>\n<p>One problem, Sam Wilson not only has the real-deal Vibranium disc, but he also now has a Vibranium suit gifted to him by the Wakandans. He may not have the enhanced muscle that Walker\u2019s packing, but he\u2019s not gonna need it either. Their brawl represents the first of many dark mirror battles to come. The Contessa is gonna sit back and watch this time, but don\u2019t expect that to be her permanent posture.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
