They manage to disable the giant sleeper robot and Red Skull is taken down, with it going better than the last time.

Winter Soldier leaves to find himself as Captain America says that he hopes he's finding what he wants.

Episode Review

A pretty good episode all things considered and just showing the absolute sadism of the Red Skull. Red Skull's little comment about prisoners being treated better than most American citizens, getting three square meals a day, really seemed harsh. But in the same way, sadly true. Don't you have it when the evil villains have a point?

Winter Soldier is an interesting character and he kind of grew up with the world changing while Captain America was lost in time for nearly sixty years. Obviously they manage to work together but things are not the exact same between them ever again.

Red Skull using his enemy as a tool was rather true. I mean, he could kill Captain America but what better to make him suffer than to use him as a puppet. His plan to destroy Washington was less cerebral.

You would have expected some of the great action from the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes with the giant robot fight. But Red Skull was just evil and a complete monster in many ways. His charm is that he has no charm and no redeemable qualities.

Final Thoughts and Episode Rating

A pretty good episode for the Avengers, 9/10. You can watch Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Episode 47 Winter Soldier in the coming weeks on Disney XD among other places.
