Bingo. I think another part of it is knowing that the role is likely a one-off, so we don't even want to get too attached to the character.Damn, this girl is fine. I'm shocked that the Amy Adams/Lois Lane thread has gone though like, 1,000 pages in a week and this one hasn't even made it to three. Maybe it's just because Peggy Carter isn't as popular or iconic of a character. I'm not all that familiar with Atwell's work, but she's lovely and I'm really looking forward to seeing her in the movie.
Uh wow, this is brand new information to me. I just thought she was more popular because she exists in the present and is a more recurring friend/love interest for Steve.Sharon is the more popular of them. Mostly because she killed Steve.
Ah ok, thanks.She was brainwashed by Dr. Fatous or whatever his name is.

I agree. The idea of the woman being saved by a man has become extinct. Now every woman has to be strong in every movie...

I didn't care for it either at first until the description of the footage puts it in proper context.JAK®;19999219 said:I must be the only one who hates the shield-shooting gag.

I agree that what makes a woman 'strong' isn't how similar to a man she can be, but my overall point is that in an attempt to make these women strong characters, they go overboard and just make them unnecessarily aggressive and in this case irresponsible.I think thats exactly what you meant. When will they stop trying to be us and just be proud to be women...be proud of there abilities rather then trying to adopt a mutated version of a man...

There isn't a problem with it, I never said there was a problem with it, but the things they make these characters do to show how 'empowered' they are are stupid.I don't see a problem with the shield shooting scene. I especially don't have a problem with an empowered woman in a comic book film, we need more of those not less.
It's still a stylized comic book movie in the end, Jak. I'm sure you can find scenes in the final movie where one could say Cap acts "irresponsibly"JAK®;20009739 said:There isn't a problem with it, I never said there was a problem with it, but the things they make these characters do to show how 'empowered' they are are stupid.
I also don't see how 'context' changes the stupidity of this particular scene. She's till shooting at someone who isn't prepared (even if he is a super soldier) in a small room. It's completely irresponsible.
