Agent Carter Agent Carter General Discussion Thread - Part 1

[Mike Murdock]

That might be fun, but who'd you have in mind?

 

[The Infernal]

I wonder if they could use the Human Torch (the one that was featured as an easter egg in First Avenger).

 

[fixxxer]

Hopefully we get some Golden Age characters during this season. Those guys are severely underused and would be awesome if we could see some of those guys pop up again.

While that would be undoubtedly cool, I'm not sure how some of that stuff would fit, tonally. Me? I'd just be super happy if the Howlers (the original set from CA:TFA and the newbies) were series regulars. In fact, I demand it.

I've said this before, but as much as I liked season 1, I think it's time to get into SHIELD. Ditch the on the nose "go fetch me a cup of coffee" stuff in favor of straight-up Director Carter + SHIELD + Howling Commandos badassery! Unfortunately, from that synopsis, I don't think we'll quite be getting that.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Finally finished the show, it started off a bit slow and took me a few episodes to get into, but by the end I absolutely loved it. The last episode really went for the feels and without a joke 2 mins later, I wish the movies would follow suit in this regard.

But yeah really enjoyed the show and glad it is coming back, Hayley Atwell is just stunning and plays the character brilliantly, but by the end I loved the rest of the cast as well, especially Jarvis, hope they all come back for next season.

 

[chamber-music]

I would like to see Human Torch, Union Jack and some Liberty Legion members.

More Howling Commandos, Faust and Zola would be great as well.

 

[The Infernal]

Speaking of the Howling Commandos. I think it would be nice if we saw Trip return in flashbacks and have them cover his relation to the Howling Commandos. You could jump back and forth from before the fall of SHIELD and to WW2 or just after with the original Howling Commandos.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I wonder if they could use the Human Torch (the one that was featured as an easter egg in First Avenger).

He was in First Avenger, so surely they can, even if they can't actually call him Human Torch.

I would love to see the Invaders.

 

[Human Torch]

I'm running a poll for the hottest actress in a superhero show this season. Vote here:

major goof.

 

[HunBoy]

According to Hayley Atwell at today's Q&A at Comicpalooza in Houston, season 2 of Agent Carter will consist of 10 episodes...

The only problem I have with them showing the human torch (agree they'd have to change his name) is that he was an android. This could confuse people with AOU. Why would Stark be having so much trouble building an AI for Ultron when one was made 70 years earlier for the HT?
Unless they make him an awkward android. But then I don't really see the point.

 

[ralphuniverse]

G'day,

Because his creator Phineas Horton was a glory seeker who kept the technology secret. Horton latter descended into depression and alcoholism. Jim Hammond was deactivated for years. So the MCU version can easily have him switched off in Agent Carter and turned back on in AOS.
A good addition to Skye's Secret Warriors I would think.

its probably late 40s/early 50s i mean.. the bomb was dropped in 1945.. the show what, took place in 46? so it's somewhere between 1946-1950 i'd imagine. you don't want to age her too much (she'd lose some sex appeal and warrant her to don make-up every episode)

Post war threats still being a big deal

Since Peggy is "Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats", and the Soviets didn't have the atomic bomb until 1949 (they were the bad guys of Season 1), Season 2 could be set during the early 50s.

If they can make it work fair enough.

 

[Shakel92]

I find it odd that Agents of Shield is going to be on Netflix in a couple of weeks, but they haven't announced anything as to when or if Agent Carter will be there.

The longer they wait to get to the founding of SHIELD, the more faith they have in the show. They could have made it an 8 episode 1 and done about the founding of SHIELD, but they started right where they left off in TFA.

 

[TalismanRing]

From the video. Doesn't look like there will be any significant time jump.

“It’s going to be set in L.A. And with ten episodes it’s going to be a very glamorous, dark world of 1940s Los Angeles.”

10 episodes, I'm fine with that. How many were in season one?

I usually catch up on a lot of shows later, so 10 episodes, for me at least, is a breeze compared to the 20+ lots have...


side note: still no home media release news?

There were 8 episodes in season one.

Others on here are better at keeping up with when shows will come out on DVD than me....but I recorded season one to DVD myself, so I've watched the series a couple of times since it aired.

It had 8, I was hoping for 13 but 10 is an improvement. Maybe it will become a full season series someday.

Hopefully Peggy moving to Los Angeles doesn't mean that we won't have Jarvis next season.

It shouldn't, Tony should have a mansion in Beverly Hills (to be close to the starlets) that she and Jarvis can stay at.

Howard you mean.

Yeah, and I would not be surprised if Angie tags along, being an aspiring actress and all.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, my first thought when I heard about the move to LA was, "at least that means Angie's tagging along." It makes perfect sense for her, so I'd be disappointed if she didn't.

 

[Uskok]

Who the bad guys could be this time? More Leviathan agents/Soviets or someone else?
