Anthony Mackie said that Captain America 3 will be filming in Puerto Rico. It could have something to do with Agents of Shield this season and the whole Inhumans thing.

Dalael posted:I must have been watching an entirely different show then. Those guys were 3 to 4 steps behind Carter at every turn. Case and point, these guys were still not sure what they were looking for, at a time where Carter had already defused one of those weapons. Seriously, those guys were just bad at their job. Your case in point is loving stupid considering that Peggy was explicitly told by Stark what she was looking for and all the SSR guys had to go on was a generic "Stark potentially sold weapons to the enemy but we don't know the extent of what he sold. Hey this competitor of his blew up with a type of explosion/implosion we've never seen before, that could be him." If you're going to try and come up with an example to back up your point at least find a good one. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jan 11, 2015 |

Watched both episodes last night, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm a sucker for the pulp era and this is touching all the right buttons for me. The styles, the gadgets, the slightly larger than life feel of it all. Having two English leads actually gives me a great Avengers vibe. By which I mean these Avengers:

For those who haven't seen, wiki's summary of the short: One year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, Agent Peggy Carter is now a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, and faces sexism from her boss, Agent John Flynn, who treats her condescendingly, and keeps her compiling data and code breaking while assigning field cases to the male agents only. The S.S.R.'s main concern is the mysterious Zodiac, which they have been unable to recover for some time. One night alone in the office while the men are out together, the case line rings, informing Carter of the location of the Zodiac. Though three to five agents are recommended, Carter decides to go to the location herself. Fighting off multiple guards, Carter is able to retrieve the Zodiac, a mysterious serum, herself. The next day, Flynn reprimands her for not going through the proper procedures to complete the mission, and dismisses the indignant Carter as just an "old flame" of Captain America's who was given her current job out of pity for her bereavement. However, before he can officially punish her, the case line rings again, this time with Howard Stark on the other end, who informs Flynn that Carter will co-head the newly created S.H.I.E.L.D. In a mid-credits scene, Dum Dum Dugan is seen poolside with Stark, marveling at two women wearing the newly created bikinis. I don't remember how exactly it's structured... I suppose they could have her show her TV show office her true moxie but get assigned to prick John Flynn right at the end if they really cared about continuity. But yeah, her stake at the start of the short is pretty similar to her current stake in the show in terms of her (for lack of a better word) agency.

I had this weird misconception that the short was set in 1949, giving them a bunch of room between the start of Agent Carter and the one shot.

When they say series, do they mean the current mini-series or do they mean series as in multi-seasoned show? I kind of made peace with the idea that this 7 night series would end where the short did, but if they are seriously implying that they want to do multiple seasons of this and THEN end it at the short, then my interest just shot way the hell down.

I would much rather have a few seasons of Peggy and Jarvis being awesome and secretly solving cases than stuff her into the role of SHIELD commander. It's not even really much of a choice as far as I'm concerned. The longer they put that off the better.

It's not even really much of a choice as far as I'm concerned. The longer they put that off the better. Yeah, I don't see why this is a bad thing. I don't really remember any of the current Agent Carter cast featuring in the short, either, so it also doesn't make sense to say that the current cast can't have character development. Even if Peggy proves her worth to a few of her coworkers, that makes little difference to the world at large, to any other SSR employees. If you were hoping this would be a show about how Carter "defeats" sexism within a few episodes and then it goes away and never gets mentioned again, you're looking for something quite a bit more unrealistic than a comic book show.

I'd rather just treat the One Shot as no longer in continuity until/unless it becomes explicit that the whole thing is, not just the general idea of what happens at the end. It's possible to get it to fit (minus the 1946 date), but it just involves too many contortions for my taste. Anyway, these bits from the interview intrigue me: quote:Obviously SHIELD is infiltrated by Hydra. Is that going to happen in this series? Are we going to see hints of that?

Going by posts in this thread about crying and boobs, sexism very not defeated 60 years after the one-shot.

It's not even really much of a choice as far as I'm concerned. The longer they put that off the better. You make it sound like the founding of SHIELD would have her sitting at a desk and doing nothing, when that is the exact opposite of how the director of SHIELD has typically been treated in the comics. If anything, it'd give her more license to do crazy stuff with awesome gadgets. And it would at least leave things open ended because with regards to the MCU we have no idea what she did between the founding of SHIELD and her being and old woman in that bed in Cap 2. The way they seem to be doing it is much more constricting because you know that its all spinning the wheels until she joins SHIELD. There's room for stories, but its kind of limited, unnecessarily.
