she loves her job so much because of how she acted in WS.
She had the other job in TWS, though.
She could have been like the other Shield agents and stood off to the side while Crossbones was going to kill their co-worker.
I don't recall that the other Shield agents stood off either. As soon as Crossbones pointed a gun on their co-worker, they all (who weren't Hydra anyway) stood up against him along with Sharon.
And many agents sacrificed their lives. For me it looked more like "Am I Hydra or am I a good guy?" case than it was about them loving their job. It's the simple question of morality.
That's what I got out of all of it anyway. With WS & then everything with the funeral & after..
In TWS - maybe. But at no point in CW was she shown as someone who loves her job, that's the problem. She is not loyal to it a one bit. She is all about helping Steve from the very start, and we don't even know, why exactly, aside from her being a plot-device.
Maybe that was Sharon, once again, trying to save her co-workers/military lives. By helping Cap get to Bucky 1st.
...
When she sees Bucky in the car, I guess that when Cap contacted her to meet up with his stuff, he quickly told her he's not all murdery anymore & thats why she wasn't more upset at seeing him.
Yes, maybe. I don't have a problem with Sharon giving Cap intel on Bucky. And I don't have a problem when she helped Cap get to Bucky after the power went out either.
I have a problem with her actions after Bucky escaped his cage and hurt her and killed her co-workers. She's seen all of it herself, with her own eyes. She was hurt by him, Tony was almost killed, as well as Natasha. Sharon has seen dead bodies.
She believes Cap's word? And Cap has actually no better evidence than Bucky's word. I get why Cap trusts Bucky, but Sharon has no reason to do so. Even if she thinks he isn't responsible for his actions, she still has every reason to think he should be kept in a protective custody for the collective good. She shouldn't help such a dangerous man to run. Peggy would have never done such a thing.
Zemo is their fault. They let a fake doctor to enter their building and gain access to their prisoner. If Sharon believes that Zemo is to blame then she should report about this danger to her boss or investigate Zemo herself and call Russia to stop him in their airport. She is the one, who works in counterterrorism centre, not Steve. Do your job, woman!
I'm not sure why they wanted to imply Sharon did all of this because she had the hots for Cap.
I don't think they wanted to do that. On the contrary, they were aware that some people might perceive her actions like that, so they wanted to debunk it and rightfully wrote her a scene establishing her motivations to show the audience her mindset, her way of thinking. Alas, it didn't make the cut.
She did it, not to betray Cap, but she thought it was for his own good.
We don't know that. It's not in the movie. There is no canon explaining that.
We can make up different suggestions, make headcanons, but as long as we don't have any facts, there are still several different possibilities. She might have told BW herself. Or BW might have followed her without Sharon being aware of that. She is such an underdeveloped character, we know so little about her that we just can't be sure what is more likely.
And anyway, if she told BW herself then what was even the point of bringing his shield back to Cap? To make him more capable to fight with team Tony? It doesn't make any sense.
People like to project Peggy or her comic-books counterpart on the MCU Sharon, but it's just a cop-out. What Would Peggy Do? is clearly the conclusion that the writers want us to draw. They don't spend any time building up the new character they use Peggy instead. And that's the problem with Sharon Carter. She is a second-rate replacement without her own motivations or personality. She needs to stand on her own feet, without all this "she is like Peggy!".
The whole Sharon thing could of been done so much better.
Yeah, this is what frustrates me so much. I love Cap and want the best for him and his characters. But alas, alas, alas.
