Another thing that really bothered me was Red Skull and Hyrda in TFA had the Tesseract BEFORE Steve took the serum. Peggy taking the serum doesn't change that. So like....half the plot of this episode hinges on more than 1 alternate choice being made. Which I am fine with alternate worlds and such, but it being 1 choice changes the entire world doesn't really work when you make changes to events prior to that choice being made.
Hydra in What If? had the Tesseract before Steve took the serum too. Peggy stole the Tesseract from them after she took the serum and it was used to power Hydra Stomper. When Hydra captured Steve, they got the Tesseract back.
Yes, really enjoyed that. For some reason I wasn’t really expecting the action to be great in this but it’s been decent.The sequence with CC and Steve taking down a squadron of flying Messerschmitt bf 109s and 110s was the highlight for me, stunning seuquence.
Good point. I think this would have done better as a 2-parter.This may have been a "What If"ed version of Red Skull as well since his mask resembled Ross Marquand moreso than Hugo Weaving.
Overstuffing was a common issue with the 70s era "What If" comic books as well, but since they were recreating so much of the first Cap film in this one a two parter may have better fit this material.
Overall I thought it was pretty good, but a step or three below MODOK. It was a treat for hardcore MCU fans, but I don't see it appealing to casual viewers.
I saw it like that too. Yeah, was fun to see a different dynamic in that relationship. I’d like to see more of Captain Carter somewhere else.I generally enjoyed the first episode. Folks say that it was rushed, and I'm sure that it was... but I sort of viewed it as a companion to TFA. I didn't feel like I had to follow the plot as much, because I've already seen the movie, and I was able to fill in the blanks.
The highlight for me was the same as the movie: Petty and Steve's relationship. I liked Captain Peggy and skinny Steve. Twas cute.
The episode was good overall but was a little bit of a retread of Captain America: The First Avenger.
The action looks much better in action than dialogue or slower scenes. The faces look really off to me during dialogue heavy scenes.
I'm assuming there's a likeness thing regarding some of the characters. Schmidt looked nothing like Weaving in this, and as far as future episodes go, Black Widow looks nothing like Scarlett Johansson and Peter Parker doesn't look like Tom Holland. If anything, he looks more like Andrew Garfield, oddly enough.This may have been a "What If"ed version of Red Skull as well since his mask resembled Ross Marquand moreso than Hugo Weaving.
With Schmidt wanting to summon the "true champion of HYDRA" from beyond the stars really made me think of Hive/Alveus for a second lol (though obviously Marvel Studios wouldn't do that).
They said they weren't allowed to introduce any new characters. I think Shuma-Gorath may be the exception if they already planned him out for Multiverse of Madness (especially if Captain Carter will show up there or something). Otherwise it'd have to be a generic monster I think.
Yeah this confused me too.
Also in TFA the order of events is
- Steve takes place in the machine
- Erskine asks Peggy if she'd be more comfortable in the booth
- Peggy goes into the booth, sitting next to Chester Philips while Heinz Kruger takes place behind her. Everyone but the scientists are in the booth watching.
- Steve injected with most of the serum and is transformed
- Once they see the experiment is successful Peggy, Philips, Kruger and everyone else come down from the booth to see Steve up close
- Kruger blows up a bomb he left up in the booth as a distraction, takes the last serum remaining after Steve had been injected with the rest and shoots Erskine
- Steve chases him to retrieve the serum, but the vile breaks in the fight after Steve takes him from the submarine
In this it is
- Steve and Peggy walk up to Erskine together
- Erskine asks Peggy if she'd be more comfortable in the booth
- She says no and stays below.
- Now Chester Philips, Flynn (who we never saw in TFA) and Heinz Kruger all stay on the floor with the machine rather than going into the booth
- Steve takes place in the machine
- Kruger blows up his bomb not up in the booth as a distraction but on the lab floor where multiple people get hurt by the explosion
- He shoots Philips and Steve and takes the Serum
- Peggy shoots Kruger, puts the vile of serum he took back in the machine and goes through the transformation.
- I don't think we ever see Erskine die, but since we don't see him later I assume he died in the explosion?
So why was Flynn here if he wasn't before? Why did everyone besides Peggy also not go up into the booth this time? Why did Kruger decide to activate his explosive before Steve went through the transformation instead of waiting to see if it works? In TFA there was a vile left over for Kruger to take after Steve's transformation, so logically after Peggy's there should be a vile left they could use to replicate the serum? All that plus Schmidt only getting the Tesseract after, rather than already having it and having started making weapons with it before Steve got transformed really makes it seem like much more than one simple change (the decision to go up to the booth or not).
Agreed.Infinity War also doesn't rush the plot into 30 minutes. So while a bunch of characters, they get developed in the movie. Many anyway. Cast that large, some being less fleshed out is acceptable. Also the scenes are also largely stronger in IW when they opt to do character work. Here, it is a mostly generic script rushed into a small window. So nothing breathes. You can't just live on good will. Especially when your episode has like....4 core characters and none are explored in very interesting ways because they had to rush everything.
Infinite possibilities dont matter if there is no time for a decent story
This to me is like a fun side story but would weaken the MCU as a whole if I were to think of it canonically. From a storytelling perspective, it was pretty abysmal. Beyond Carter herself, I wouldn't have even known a single character's name if I hadn't seen the movie it was remixing.
If I was ranking Captain Carter amongst the films in the MCU id give it a 6 or 7. Which is among the lowest of the low.
This was the definition of meh! So they just going to tell alternate versions of the movies in 30 mins in all these ? Were not getting punisher getting the venom suit or Hulk actually killing wolverine ? If not then im one and done with this
