Captain America: Civil War was a blast and it was anchored by a truly fun and menacing villain in
Daniel Brühl's Zemo. While it's clear that Zemo is based somewhat on his comic counterpart, there are a lot of big changes to the character that you may have missed. In this video, I take a look at six comic characters that in one way or another influenced the MCU's take on Zemo.

(Seriously, ain't _nothing_ "completely natural" about _any_ part of the events in those comics. Really, there arguably very much _is_ a villain pulling strings from the shadows to force all those characters take such, well, uncharacteristic actions; it's just that his name is _Mark Millar._ ) (Meanwhile, also, it's always super duper weird to me how Garth Ennis hates superheroes and loves writing stuff like "The Boys" about how "of course" superheroes would be self-absorbed monsters, when a couple of stories during his run on "Hitman" showed that he can, when he really wants to, write a _phenomenal_ Superman.)

I know Zemo isn’t like the comic Helmut Zemo but I love both versions. He’s one of my favorite Marvel Villains and MCU Villains.
You sir just read my mind. I just told a friend of mine that this video already existed, but couldn't find it. And half an hour later, here I am, watching a video I thought I already watched.
Helmut Zemo is one of my favorite Marvel villains. He was just a bog standard egotistical mad scientist, but his time with the Thunderbolts transformed him to a strategist trying to prove his superiority by saving the world, then reinvented again to a villain trying to punish heroes for glossing over their flawed pasts.

I love these amalgam characters. Its like an Easter egg for fans, and gets in minor characters who might otherwise never be included
I like how the MCU adapts things so they make sense in this more realistic universe and keep continuity. MCU Zemo is one of my favorite characters and I think TFATWS will only heighten that as he becomes Baron Zemo. Yeah, civil war could’ve gone on without him but I think it was great to put him in to do some worldbuilding and introduce someone who can come back later as the more “comic-accurate” one serious fans would want. No, he isn’t Zemo as you know him, but he fits the MCU and does a really good job, especially because of Daniel Bruhl’s performance

Great video. Zemo in Civil War may not have been Baron von Sock Mask, but he was still a compelling antagonist by merit of his actions, his more grounded motivations, and Bruhl’s screen presence. The Avengers were already chaotic and dysfunctional, and Zemo exploited their power by exposing the flaws that were already there. It’s not far off of the Joker’s manipulation in the Dark Knight, but there was more of a concentrated reasoning behind Zemo’s methodology. He’s already proven to be a calculated mind capable of action (he did manage to exacerbate the divide between the heroes), and provide another perspective to the Avengers’ actions. I don’t know what Marvel has planned for Zemo in FatWS, but he’s a great embodiment of Bucky’s past coming back to get him (like “No Escape” in the comics), and we will likely now see a more fully-realized Baron Zemo more akin to his comic counterpart. Nice mention with Lukin. He was an instrumental part of Bucky’s story in the WS comics, and since he ultimately becomes the Red Skull, who also exploited Bucky’s brainwashing and the fallout after Cap’s death and the SRA, is an excellent representation of what Zemo’s function has been within the MCU. Cheers Nando!
Hes actually a great take of the character though which is nice. Could you do a Hawkeye isnt Hawkeye as well as they're very different

I prefer the way they ended up going with it

Yeah I’ve always had the thought as well. Don’t get me wrong I love the MCU‘s version of Zemo, he’s a really interesting character, but he has very little to do with the comic book inspiration.

Keep everything else the same about him but just change his name to something like “Zander” or something like that.

Plus that way you can have the best of both worlds by having this fascinating character who sees the avengers as no better than the villains they battle while still having room for a more traditional Zemo to be out there wreaking havoc from the shadows.
For civil war, Wolverine tried to hunt down the guy that started the whole problem. He gets to nitro and finds out he was boosted by a drug that was given to him by someone. I believe that someone was a higher up at damage control and he did it to gain money out of whatever destruction followed. I guess he could kind of be blamed for kicking it all off
Gonna have to update this after FATWS
6:14 - You forgot that most of the characters on Ironman's side were skrulls in disguise. Hank Pym is a prime example. Number 4 is Skrulls.
This Zemo is more like of a Billy Butcher
'Age of Ultron isn't Age of Ultron' could be the next, since they share almost nothing but some characters(probably days of future past have more similarity with Age of Ultron). What we have in Age of Ultron is more like, origin of Ultron(Consider Ultron's death scene is ambiguous )
I get the point of the video, but the MCU is its own version of Marvel. To have your expectations set by the comics is only going to set yourself up to dislike the outcome. MCU Zemo isn't comic Zemo, but that doesn't make him a bad villain.
I mean yeah he only has the name. He is an even better character than the original Helmut Zemo, his motivations were kinda...weird "I'm gonna be bad cause my old man was too, and he died."
Zemo isn't Zemo.. But Zemo is a Dancer
Something to note. In some-Some- issues of Civil War the writers actually integrated a few real world events about how the world is changing. I don't remember specifically what I read. But it was an X-Men comic in the Civil war time period
