Agent Carter

Agent Carter is going to premier next week. Anyone planning to watch? I'm going to try to work it in.

I don't know yet? But I do like the promo.

It wasn't spectacular, but I thought it decent, in line with what was established in the first Captain America movie. If you are going to watch television it was something worth watching.

Nice to see some of the Howling Commandos will return. I also appreciated the various nods to the Captain.

I thought it was well done. I'm going to try to stay with it (probably in place of Gotham). This is the first that I've seen of Hayley Atwell. She's so attractive, and she plays the part well. I was especially impressed with her American accent, but then her real-life father is American, as I understand it.

I saw the Winter Solider Captain American movie, but didn't see the first one. I'm may try to see it now.

Captain America the First Avenger was a good movie, one which in context of the overall arc of Marvel Phase One had to be told. Many people panned it because it was an origin story, just as they did the Fantastic Four. But origin stories have to be told for those who didn't grow up reading the comics, and this one was a good story.

Well worth the time to check it out.

This is a good article on Agent Carter. These portions were especially good.

All in all, then, there’s no great secret to the success of Agent Carter in presenting the first truly excellent female-fronted comic book property of the current live-action resurgence, but there are a few lessons that the teams behind Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel and the often-touted Black Widow film can take away from it.

Firstly, scantily clad costume choices are far from essential to proceedings. While all these upcoming films will surely cast Hollywood beauties who will probably wear tighter outfits than Atwell in their title roles, it’s worth remembering that the quality of the end product isn’t down to the leading lady’s revealing clothing. Agent Carter rarely gets exploitative, and it would be wonderful if the bigger properties that will follow in its footsteps could heed its example.

I'm really liking what I've seen of this show. It is really well done.

I've really enjoyed it too. I'm hoping the ratings are good enough to warrant a second season.

On a side note, Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) has a role in the upcoming Cinderella movie. She plays Cinderella's mother.
