The Falcon & The Winter Soldier: Every Main Character Ranked From Worst To Best

Throughout this series, there were many shocks and surprises along the way. Zemo working as an anti-hero rather than a villain, the Power Broker reveal, and the murder of a Flag Smasher by John Walker were all huge moments in the show, but nothing dropped the jaws of the entire MCU fanbase like Ayo.

At the end of episode three, the Wakandan warrior revealed herself to be in Latvia, chasing down Zemo after he had been sprung from prison by Bucky. There were many theories about what would happen during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier before the show dropped, but absolutely no one could have predicted the involvement of the Dora Milaje.

Ayo played a big part in removing the Winter Soldier from Bucky's mind while he was in Wakanda, and when she came to Latvia it was possibly this relationship that stopped her from kicking his ass like she did John Walker. Instead she simply, and literally, disarmed him in a way that somehow made her even more intimidating.

Though Ayo and her fellow fighters ultimately played little part in the series' endgame, she made a huge impact while on screen. The Dora Milaje have jurisdiction wherever the Dora Milaje find themselves to be, and thanks to Ayo, no one should have cause to question that ever again.
