Yeah one of my big problems with the series so far is that they keep having Zemo act with basic competence and a reasonable amount of cleverness but they have everyone around him act like idiots to exaggerate these traits to try to make him look like a mastermind instead of merely competent. That doesn’t work. And it’s extra galling because the people he’s working with and against are supposed to be competent in their own rights.
