You know what it’s like: you’re an international terrorist with a love for complicated and intricate plans, and you’ve just been released from prison. (Promising some of your worst enemies that you will help themwith them other the ugliest enemies, natch.) You have a lot of fun, you trade small tricks, you smile knowingly and you are simply, in general, a real classic Hannibal Lector guy … and then you feel the beat. If you are Helmut Zemo, a murderous master and a strange little man, you have no choice: Now is the time The hawk and the winter soldier when we dance.
Baron Zemo’s dance moves were one of the most discussed aspects of the third episode of the new Disney + superhero thriller, which sees the villain slimming on a Madripool dance floor, for a definition of “slimming” that involves a lot of head-to-head, restrained glitter and extremely awkward clapping. The short moment has been cut and widely shared on the internet since “Power Broker” debuted, and now Marvel Studios has started to have fun.
And while nothing normally kills a meme faster than having a copyright holder enter the conversation to get into “fun,” we have to admit that Disney’s contribution is quite funny: A Full Hour by Daniel Brühl (who improvised all of Helmut’s movements) cutting a carpet repeatedly. Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes may not enjoy Bad Baron’s moves, but fans of his style will now be able to reproduce him in his spare time.
