>>86664738>>86664765While I certainly liked Zemo more than other MCU villains, if you think about it his plan was convoluted as hell.
It relied on the whole Socovian Accords thing to take off on its own. Before the film came out people theorized that Zemo was secretly the driving force behind it, but turns out he just got lucky.
Then it relied on:
>Hoping that he's the only guy to crack the HYDRA code that's on the fucking internet>Him blowing up the UN meeting and being good at makeup to impersonate Bucky>Hoping that Bucky doesn't get killed accidentally or get away with Cap>Impersonating the UN-hired psychologist>Making and sending off an EMP bomb>Hoping that there won't be guards in the room with Bucky>Hoping that that whole facility doesn't have a backupThough you could argue that he had plans of the facility where Bucky was supposed to be held and protocol of his evaluation
>Hoping that Bucky's commands will work despite his crappy Russian>Hoping that whatever happened in 1991 is good enough to destroy the Avengers for goodThat's a big point, because he needed that meeting with Bucky just to ask him what happened in 1991. Either he already knew that Bucky killed Starks, but then what's the whole plan for, or hoped that it would be something good and juicy.
And finally, he deliberately called the German hotel so his killing of the UN psychologist would get uncovered. That means he was:
>Hoping that Stark, Bucky and Cap would make it to Siberia together to watch a damn video (for some reason there was a camera in the middle of nowhere and HYDRA kept it)>Hoping that Stark would go ballistic at the guy that wasn't in control of his actionsAgain, I liked Zemo and the fact that he didn't try to kill the Avengers by himself, but his plan to do that is extremely convoluted and relied on him getting lucky the whole time. Either they should've come up with a better plan or show how he put everything together and manipulated the events.
