First let me say I am totally in love with Hayley Atwell.
Her portrayal of Peggy Carter is just so perfect and she is just so amazing and
adorable at the same time. I can’t
imagine a more perfect casting. I would
think just about everyone else who has seen this series would agree with
me. This show totally belongs to Ms.
Atwell and she shows no trouble carrying it on her beautiful shoulders.
Agent Carter tells the story of a government agent fighting
evil and sexism in America after WWII. I
am a sucker for period pieces, and this period in particular in very engaging
to me. Partly because this is the time
when Marvel Comics earliest roots were beginning to form. Long before Stan and Jack would change the
world with the Fantastic Four there were plenty of little comics written and
drawn by all kinds of hard working people nobody knows, getting very little
credit. But these guys laid the
groundwork that eventually became the franchise that created Agent Carter. Likewise, Peggy Carter helps lay the
groundwork for what eventually becomes SHIELD and the current Marvel cinematic
continuity.
But mostly I loved the series because it had that
edge-of-your-seat style of writing where you’re expecting twists and tragedy
every second. The story had lots of
action and intrigue, and kept me wanting more every week. And now I want more even more than I wanted
more before. The series left the future
promising peril and I hope we get to see some more of Agent Carter and friends. If only they could get Jim Hammond, the
android Human Torch, to guest star!
Hint! Hint!
