Marvel’s Agent Carter - Page 2

I liked it a lot! The story moved at a brisk pace, there was solid action and some fun twists, a lot of easter eggs and references for comic fans, and Hayley Atwell is phenomenal as Carter. For a TV-budget period piece I thought it looked great.

It benefits a lot by being a shorter miniseries that isn't directly tied into an upcoming movie. In a way that gives them even more freedom. I like Agents of SHIELD a lot, but the big Winter Soldier twist really tied the show's hands for the first season. It's gotta be difficult to run a major TV show that also has the role of following up on and setting up plot points from major tentpole movies. But they've gotten a lot better at it.

i loved the Premiere alot! can't wait to see how far this series goes

This show was exactly what I wanted it to be. It was clever, well paced, looked great. The time period is a great match for television. Definitely liking this more than the first half-season or so of Agents of SHIELD.

Season two begins on January 5th

I can't wait, they also said the first episode will be a two hours.

*Shark_Blade* · 05-13-2016, 06:58 AM

So the show has been cancelled.

It's godawful, so good. It was nowhere near as interesting as it should have been, and season 2 was total cheese.

Waste of a good character.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-13-2016, 07:36 AM

Yeah, season one is alright, but wasn't really the right fit for the character, and the Hollywood stuff in the second was just cringe.

SHIELD keeps losing viewers but miraculously hangs in there, I'd rather move it to Netflix, Marvel know the money is there and not with networks that are prone to inevitably caving in to capes*it fatigue like ABC is now.

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.
