Jerusalem posted:Yeah that's something I've appreciated about the show so far - the male agents are misogynistic assholes which fits the times, but they're also competent at their jobs and capable of getting to the same place as the titular hero even without the benefit of the inside knowledge she has and is keeping from them. I half expect it to be a thing where they also have an agent in the office and that while she thinks she is working alone she has more allies then she thinks. I half expect Souza to be someone rescued by Cap and her future husband. I also like how much they are mining from Secret Warriors.

", can't it just be a straightforward matter of Howard getting his poo poo took and asking Carter to save his rear end?

I'm a bit surprised she hasn't gotten a breast reduction a la Christina Ricci. Back problems are serious business.

Hers seem a bit more proportional to the rest of her. Christina Ricci's were too big for her frame. This is developing into kind of a creepy line of conversation.

It's another thing from the Secret Warriors comic that the people behind these shows are smartly drawing from as it's a good book. Like with Whitehall though I'd imagine it will be radically different than in the book.

Jerusalem posted:I am irritated by the shoehorned in red-herring of Jarvis calling Howard and going,"SHE DOESN'T SUSPECT A THING I'm assuming that the call was less "evil master plan" and more "she doesn't know we're seeing if she's fit to run S.H.I.E.L.D. when we set it up", since that's what happens at the end of her One Shot. Stark knows she's a competent agent but needs to see if she can lead and rely on other people, as well. Jarvis is basically there to test her for recruiting people who AREN'T spies and teach them to BE spies, is how I saw it. bobkatt013 posted:I half expect it to be a thing where they also have an agent in the office and that while she thinks she is working alone she has more allies then she thinks. I half expect Souza to be someone rescued by Cap and her future husband. I also like how much they are mining from Secret Warriors. Souza being her future husband seems pretty likely. Stolen directly from the MCU wiki regarding her currently un-named husband: "He was a member of a battalion of over one thousand men who were trapped behind the German line by a blizzard. They were pinned down by a HYDRA blockade for months before they were rescued by Captain America." He easily could have lost a leg during that, and someone who was directly saved by Cap would probably be a lot less of a dickhead, just from being around him.

This is what I mean about it being a red-herring, I don't think anybody watching thinks for even a second that Jarvis and Stark are secretly bad guys using her for nefarious purposes, and it's obvious the reveal will be something either along the lines of what you suggested, or will be something along the lines of Tony's vault wasn't so much broken into as he was duped into sharing secrets/co-developing with somebody else and he's embarrassed about it. It just felt like a needless attempt at false drama/tension for the audience that I don't think anybody is going to even remotely buy for a second, and that really wasn't necessary.

It just felt like a needless attempt at false drama/tension for the audience that I don't think anybody is going to even remotely buy for a second, and that really wasn't necessary. I just saw the stinger for Episode 3 (which looks drat good): It seems like Stark is playing another angle and Peggy is pissed about it, so, while he might not be a 'bad' guy, there is something else going on. The fact that she's that upset about it makes me think it's a little more serious than 'Stark didn't want to be embarassed.' It obviously has some effect on the plot, and it's going to be important, so it's really not like a red herring, at all. Also, there's a quick shot of Dum Dum with Peggy going down a stairwell, so it looks like we're getting some Howling Commandos action. That's cool. Overall, it looks like it'll be a dense episode, which isn't that surprising as there's only 8 of them. I figured I'd spoiler that since I know there's a few folks who don't watch the stingers in order to avoid that stuff. AbsolutelySane fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jan 8, 2015 |

We also know that Anton is going to be deported and I half expect that will be tied into this series. Like he is the one who helped them break into the vault

Just got around to watching this and drat I'm impressed! With Leviathan popping up I'm not sure my poor nerd heart can take all this Secret Warriors referencing. I really hope this carries into Agents of SHIELD if they're going to go the same track as in the comics.

I really hope this carries into Agents of SHIELD if they're going to go the same track as in the comics. It would be cool to have them just barely contain whatever the big bad villain of this show, just like: "Will this contain him/it?" "For now, but I don't know for how long." *next week cue '50 years later' title card on AoS* but SHIELD has its own problems to deal with so who knows.

Polaron posted:Weren't they actually the ones who created the Winter Soldier in the comics? He was turned into a soviet assassin, but the Leviathan stuff was written after Brubaker brought Bucky back to life, and time-line wise I think it happened after Leviathan went into cold storage? I could be wrong though. I could see them tying the two together in the MCU though.
