Marvel’s Agent Carter

[Raven]

Sorry if theres a thread for this already. I thought Carter deserved her own thread, not sure how close it will tie to the current Shield show.

Agent Carter from Captain America has officially been picked up by ABC, as well as S.H.I.E.L.D being renewed for a second season.

Is any one looking forward to Carter's adventures set in the 1940's?

I'm very interested to see how this series will turn out.

One thing I'll give modern Marvel credit for is they take risks rather than choose to focus on regular people in extraordinary posistions as the fixtures of their major live-action tv shows, while reserving all their more established flagship heroes to movies, cartoons, and Netflix exclusives. Interested in where this will go, even if Winter Soldier already tragicly spelled out how Carter will end up in her twilight years

They want to make another series when the first one is barley holding the ratings up? I am kinda sick of all the Superhero themed T.V show (especialy Arrow, that sucks so much ass) The only one that i am mildy interested is Constantine...

I'm down. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is becoming something that I can't get enough of. And, like Agents of SHIELD, this sounds like something I'd love to get dig into.

I think I'm going to really like this show. Should be cool to discuss it with everyone here when it's out. Really like the concept, and Carter is a really cool character, so ... I'm hoping the show will be good.

Now, is this the Carter from the movies, or her daughter? Because (spoiler alert!) Sharon Carter IS an agent of present-day SHIELD, and is the daughter of the former agent. And it would make more sense to have a series about her, with it being present-day, to tie-in to AoS and the movies. Plus, she had been romantically linked to both Cap and Hawkeye (as Ronin, I think), so....

It's the former, since it's set in the 1940's.

Anyway, really looking forward to this.

The official plot came out today as well as the new series logo.

"Marvel's Agent Carter," starring Captain America's Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It's 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life--Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," along with the short "Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter."

Actually Sharon Carter is Peggy's niece.

Welp looks like the first season will only have 8 episodes. This makes a bit of sense since it's airing during a mid-season break for Agents of Shield. Also, the series is premiering in January.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I loved Agent Carter. I'm going to miss it.

Not really a fan of AoS. It had a decent run following the events of Winter Soldier but it's been all over the place since then. I cringe every time they try to shoehorn the show into the MCU now. The Winter Soldier tie-in had to happen and that's why it worked so well. The Age of Ultron tie-in was the worst. It also doesn't help that most of the actors are pretty terrible.

I liked it too, it's just that second season was very jarring, I guess I was expecting different sort of things from a character so crucial to SHIELD and she just got stuck in a very demeaning setting...does'nt matter that she rose above it "girl power" yadda yadda, we should have been focusing on bigger and bolder things, the sort of thing her flashback appearances in SHIELD were hinting at, or something similar to the Howling Commandos episode they did.

Agreed. I had a whole stack of third season episodes waiting to watch and I just ended up deleting all of it, hate Sky/Daisy, hate the insistence on the Inhumans, hate Fitz-Simmons (not Fitz, just the awkward romance with Simmons), the best things about it were either written out (Bobbi and Hunter), or killed off/turned into another character (Ward), if Mac goes I probably won't stick with it.

I really liked this show, but agree that the second season wasn't as strong as the first.

Boo. Just freakin' boo.

I kinda like the idea that Coulson was behind activating the old Helicarrier, and the fact that he tracked List to Sokovia and tipped Hill off for The Avengers, but everything else was stupid.

Raina's vision of Ultron was cheesy and AoU's timeframe just didn't jive with AoS's continuity. Clunky.

As for Agent Carter's tie in value, I liked seeing the real Jarvis, the original Black Widow was cool, and the Zola thing at the end of season 1 kind of hinted to me that Fenhoff might have been involved with the Winter Soldier program.

Season 2 apparently had something to do with Doctor Strange. I dunno... was too busy trying to stay awake.

Oh well, at least she ended up with Sousa, like I wanted.
