Considering Flag-Smasher and her crew are trying to get things back to how they were during the blip, it probably shouldn't come as a surprise which Marvel villain Erin Kellyman most empathizes with.
With two thrilling installments in the bag and episode three on the way, we were able to sit down withThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierstar Erin Kellyman to chat about her scene-stealing role asKarli Morgenthau, a.k.a. Flag-Smasher.
Throughout the first two episodes, Flag-Smasher has more or less served as the primary antagonist of the series, and while Kellyman doesn't necessarily consider Karli Morganthau a villain, she can see how her character could possibly empathizewith a major Marvel baddielike Thanos (Josh Brolin).
Like Karli, the Mad Titan really believed that what he was doing was right, even though hedid wipe outhalf the population in the entire universe.
"It’s tricky because I feel like Karli is - she’s quite different from your typical villain. I really think that she, and I guess Thanos, as well, had a similar thing like he was trying to do a good thing, he didn’t need to get rid of 50% of the world’s population, butin his head, that was the right thing to happen in order for people to have a good community. He had to get rid of half of the world’s population."
However, Kellymandoes note that Karli isn't trying to redo the Mad Titan's "Blip," emphasizing that she's definitely not seeking to wipe out 50% of the planet again. But her ultimate goal of a better, higher-functioning societyis relatively similar to his vision for a perfectly balanced universe.
"So, I guess it’s quite similar in that the root of what Karli’s doing is for a good thing and it’s for a good cause, but I do think it is a bit different because I feel like her's makes a little bit more sense. She’s not trying to get rid of 50% again, she’s just trying to make things work more smoothly and have more equality in our society."
