In a debriefing, Peggy and Howard reveal how Hydra, the Nazi’s very own supernatural sciences division, had invaded Tønsberg, Norway. This is the pivotal point that flips the narrative on its heads and reveals the typical sexism that Agent Carter now Captain Carter will face as a woman in the 90s. Despite Colonel Flynn’s protests, Agent Carter jumps into the chamber and Stark injects the Super Soldier Serum into Peggy turning her into the super-soldier. Howard Stark warns that the power levels for the machinery are dropping and if they don’t act now, they lose the project completely. Peggy shoots the Hydra agent and rushes to Steve’s side. This is the moment that created a new universe.įollowing a Hydra ambush, Steve Rogers is dramatically shot in the abdomen as the assailant tries to run out with a vial of the Super Soldier Serum. Erskine( the doctor that created the serum) asks Agent Carter if she’d be more comfortable in the booth, she declines and states she’d prefer to stay in the room with Steve. I’d like to spend some time with these characters, not the ones that can’t be bothered to show up.Agent Peggy Carter is injected with the super-soldier serumīut in another universe, a single choice created a whole new hero.Īfter Paris falls, and London potentially next, Agent Peggy Carter tells Steve Rogers the Super Soldier Program, and he specifically, could end the war. Because it is a good show, with a strong story and, more importantly, strong characters. In time, it might even be a better show, too. Why remind us that the only man she’s ever accepted help from was Captain America, when there’s almost zero chance that character ever shows up on the show?įortunately, based on the strong premiere Agent Carter knows what it wants to be much better than Gotham and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D did in their respective first seasons. I watched her toss the guy in the green suit out a window, Marvel. But then again, is the Captain America radio show essential? We know Peggy Carter’s a badass that needs no man, because the other 99% of this show is dedicated to showing us that she’s a badass that needs no man. It pisses off Peggy Carter, and makes it pretty clear to the audience that Carter is not helpless. Anyone remember the Joe Schmo Show?) The main point of the radio show is that “Captain America” is constantly saving the helpless “Betty Carver” from Nazis. The second hour of the premiere kept Captain America’s name prevalent through a period-appropriate radio show, The Captain America Adventure Hour, that played throughout the episode (and voiced by Ralph Garman. Captain America is not going to show up on Agent Carter. Unfortunately, during Agent Carter’s timeline Chris Evans’ face is a popsicle buried in Antarctica.

Similarly, Iron Man can never show up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D because it costs $4 billion to have Robert Downey Jr. Batman can never show up on Gotham because Batman is a twelve year old boy. They are promises that are at the same time impossible to keep. But is that all it is, though? To me, these constant references make it almost impossible to become invested in the show in the first place. And they are the reason half the audience tunes in initially, that built in hook that makes a first night viewing a no-brainer.

These smaller shows wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for these widely successful and well-known characters.

As they say, dance with the one who brung ya. Gotham constantly alludes to the world of Batman, whether it be with a familiar name, an obvious Easter Egg, or screw it just the Bat symbol itself.Īnd one really can’t fault the creators for sticking these things in there. Agents began its run right after the massive success of The Avengers, and its first episode (and many episodes afterwards) featured clips of our favorite super-powered people doing super-powered things.
