Sharon as the Power Broker comes so far from beyond left field that it actually feels like the show must have lied slightly to the audience in order not to foreshadow her in any way.
Rachel suggested that there was some kind of editorial meddling going on which caused Sharon to be retconned as the Power Broker when it was neither written nor acted that way in the earlier episodes. Which makes as much sense as anything else. I do know that there was quite a bit of 11th-hour rewriting of the plot due to the pandemic, since some of the plot elements were too similar to it - apparently an entire thread of the Flag Smashers plot involving an epidemic and a fake vaccine was yanked out, which might not excuse everything about it but does at least explain some of the incoherence.
I feel like I need to see how the Marvelverse handles her going forward to decide whether the character works as the kingpin of a criminal island rather than one of its more highly placed hustlers, which I guess means I have at least vaguely committed to the future of this gargantuan steamroller of a franchise, God damn it.
I KNOW! ME TOO! HELP ME! I had escaped its gravitational pull due to everything I loved in the universe being canceled or over, and now this has happened.

I am so sorry.
