Marvel's Agent Carter

Okay, you have to admit this picture from Captain America: The First Avenger is pretty badass. I love how it's in black and white to represent their timeline. Anyway, before we get on the wrong track, let's talk about Marvel's Agent Carter! As most of you know, Agent Carter along with Captain America and the soldiers stopped Hydra from killing mostly everyone in the United States. Unfortunately, Captain America aka Steve Rogers scarified himself by diving a plane into the Arctic, leaving Agent Carter. Years later, Peggy is working with the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve) but with sexism in the way, the men treats her with lack of respect. Though, that never stops her from being an agent.

I know that Marvel's Agent Carter is coming back for season 2 but i want everyone to know about Season 1. How everyone and the actress, and actors felt about it. Besides, it's not everyday you see a woman as the leading character of a superhero show which is sad.

In this video, with Hayley Atwell aka Peggy Carter and James D'arcy aka Jarvis, they talk about how Jarvis and Peggy Carter connected with each other and how they worked together. I always loved them in that season. Plus, they did actually make up some British lines together to make the show more involved with the culture which is super awesome. 

Here's another interview with Hayley Atwell talking about her role as Agent Carter and how she enjoyed doing it along with her fellow actors and actresses.

Nerdist: It must be satisfying to star in a series that shows the world, week after week, that comics can depict many things besides superheroes.

Hayley Atwell: Well, I didn’t grow up in the superhero world. I’m not geeky enough in that way anyway, and I love it. So I’m kind of the perfect audience member to advocate it. I think it’s because of the quality of the writing. it never takes itself too seriously. It’s got great plot lines, great characters. I just think that means it’s immediately accessible.

N: It also fills a void in that it offers a two-fisted pulp heroine from an era, the ‘40s, that should have given us more of them but didn’t.

HA: Yeah, absolutely. Well, she’s a modern-day woman in 1946, so she’s ahead of her time in many ways. But at the same time, she plays the game. She knows the boundaries. She knows that she has to use her wit and her intelligence to outsmart the men, rather than undermine them. So it’s a great complex character, and I think that’s another reason why she’s accessible.

N: Peggy’s relationship with Jarvis is also complex.

HA: James and I go way back. We’ve known each other for about ten years. And because of that we had an easy chemistry on set. We were very relaxed with each other. And also because the writers are so collaborative. If we ever came up with a suggestion they’d always listen to it, and sometimes they would take it on board, and other times they would show us why their ideas were better fitted to the storyline. So it just feels like a very free environment where we’ve been able to create these characters from scratch.

Okay, ever wonder what was up between Agent Sousa and Agent Thompson characters? I mean those guys, throughout the season has been in arguments but they have so much in common. 

In this interview, Chad Micheal Murray aka Agent Thompson and Enver Gjokaj aka Agent Sousa talk about their characters...You know, their characteristics, their drive/motives, and the reason why they treat Agent Carter they do. I always loved Agent Sousa and how he was the gentleman to Peggy... He's not like every other man in the SSR, that treat her like a dog. That's what Steve would have wanted for her. 

Agent Thompson character, is the jackass guy in the office but he is indeed a good solider. That brings back memories of Captain America: The First Avenger when Doctor Abraham Erskine told Steve "..not to be a perfect solider but a good man. "

Now we look to the fans. From what I hear, Agent Carter is getting some mixed feeling. Some say it's good and that they want a new season. ME! And others say it would've been better and that Marvel failed. *Sighs* I don't know... I loved the show but let's hear from others.

Here's a piece of an article written by Eric Goldman defending the Agent Carter Season.

"Considering it was a 1940s period piece starring an already-established, likable character and was created by the guys who wrote Captain America: The Winter Soldier, you’d think people would have been more excited going into Marvel’s Agent Carter. Not that I didn’t see plenty of excitement as well, mind you, but I also saw a lot of cynicism – stuff about how it was a “prequel” and thus “wouldn’t matter” and also about how because Peggy and the other characters didn’t have superpowers, “Who cares?” (the same point I made about Breaking Bad!)"

But here's another article that opposes to the idea of Agent Carter.

"In the wispy, snow-covered dreamscape that is the Agent Carter season – series? – finale, our heroine saves the day by once again manning the radio and guiding our hero home. Hypnotism be damned with the dulcet tones of Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) at the ready. So Marvel failed this time. There’s nothing wrong with falling short, now and again."

Me personally, I love that show! Mostly because a woman was finally a star on a superhero show! Besides, they did a lot in only 8 episodes that really answered some questions of what happened to Agent Carter after the war.  If you have any thoughts, comments, or quibbles don't be afraid to post!

Marvel Queen Out!

Agents of SHIELD: Season 1

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a television series featuring the activities and agents of the clandestine (formerly military) organization S.H.I.E.L.D. The series is produced by Marvel Television, and is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe of Earth-199999, sharing continuity with the films in that franchise. The 'precursor' is the comic book series Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby." http://agentsofshield.wikia.com/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D.

This show is truly amazing and outstanding. It keeps the audience on the edge of their seat, and surprises the hell out of people. I mean, when I found out that Agent Phil Coulson was still alive in the first episode, I was like, "Oh My God! COULSON LIVES!"  

Though, what do we think about it. Hm..Let's see what the actors and actresses have to say about Season 1

Okay, so if you watch this video you can see that they were really excited with everything. They loved seeing the fans surprised and anxious...And they had fun themselves. They did say in the interview that, it was difficult to make each episode better than the other one. I mean, who could blame them, the first two episodes were awesome. But they made it through. 

They even talked about how the characters are connected to the Marvel Universe, and how the characters act on the team. Which is funny, how Ming Na Wen describes Fitz. So cute! 

Chloe Bennet even talks about how Thor: The Dark World, is connected with Agents of SHIELD on Season 1 Episode 8. 

Hypable: How much did you know about Thor: The Dark World before filming “The Well”?

Chloe Bennet: You know, we really didn’t know much about what happened. We got a vague description of what happened. We did end up seeing Thor last weekend, me, Iain [DeCaestecker], and Brett [Dalton] went to see Thor together, and it made a lot more sense after we saw the movie!

The episode ties in, and it’s the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World, and we basically go and clean up the mess, and we discover an Asgardian relic. And this relic gives anyone who touches it an enormous amount of rage.

Stuff goes down, my friend! Stuff goes down, it’s going to be a good one to watch. But I definitely suggest going to see Thor: The Dark World beforehand – also because it’s an awesome movie.

Marvel is great at making big plot moments about character. Will we see that particularly in this episode?

In my mind, that happens in every episode. I think that’s really what Marvel is about – a lot of huge, life-changing situations happen, but it’s all about how these characters deal with it. And Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is particularly about super-humans seen through the eyes of normal people. That theme is laced into every single episode, and particularly this episode for Ward. Lots of stuff happens with him, and it’s all about him and his story and what happens there. So you’ll find out some great backstory.

And that’s what’s so exciting about the first season of any show, is that… you have these characters in your TV and in your home every week, and finding out more about them and their secrets and their flaws and what their insecurities are. I think that’s the best part about watching a new show.

Here's another Interview but with Clark Gregg, and he talks about how Coulson and Skye are connected and how they have a special bond. Clark says, that it's something inside of her that he connects with instantly. Which is awesome, because I suspected that was going to happen. It's like a strict agent father connecting with his hacker child. I know, a weird analogy but it makes sense. 

In another interview, Clark Gregg gives hint of what should become of Season 2. 

Do you get involved with any of the fan speculation that has been put on the show, and on Coulson in particular?

Clark Gregg: I read a lot of them, because the creators of the show don’t tell me very much. I usually know about as much as Coulson knows. But Coulson often doesn't know a lot of the really juicy stuff. I definitely have seen some interesting theories online about who Skye’s dad might be. I do get to find out a little bit before you. It’s badass that Lucy Lawless is gonna get to be a new Agent on our show.

But he was just made the director of SHIELD right when SHIELD had been burnt to the ground. So it’s the greatest thing that could ever happen to him in the worst possible way. It seems like that’s going to involve him going back into the shadows. This is a guy who has gotten uncomfortable telling secrets, when so many were being kept from him. I think that has to shift, and we’re going to see more of what he has to do and some of the hard decisions he has to make, the kind that Nick Fury had to do in the past. That’s going to create some difficult dynamics between him and his old team.

This is the conclusion of the post. Don't worry, more on Seasons 1 & 2 will come soon.

Daredevil: The Man with No Fear

Daredevil aka Matt Murdock. As most know, Matt Murdock is a young man from Hell's Kitchen who is blind from an accident that happened when he was a kid. But from that accident that took away his eye sight, he obtained other abilities too. Abilities that allowed him to anticipate every move of his opponent just like a sonar equipment. For more information on Dare Devil, click the website below.

http://marvel.wikia.com/Matthew_Murdock_(Earth-616)

And I know, everyone has seen the new Dare Devil show on Netflix which was Marvel's way of saying, "Yeah, DC. We're back." If you have not seen the show, I advise you to stop reading and watch it because this post may contain spoilers.  

The actor, Charlie Cox, has a talk with an interviewer about how he performed his character and everything about the show. Here's a sneak peak of the interview:

 I was here yesterday for the Avengers interviews, have you had a chance to see the new movie yet?

Not yet, I’m very excited to. Is it good?

It’s very good. And because I’ve been watching that, and bringing Daredevil at a similar time, I was wondering if you think those worlds could still click together? Obviously it’s been rumored, but Daredevil is a lot darker than the movies…

Someone asked me the question earlier on today, about how would you take the Daredevil that we’ve met in the show and put him in an Avengers movie, and I understand that would be tricky because obviously you can’t bring the blood and guts that we’ve got to the cinematic universe.

But at the same time, if you read Civil War and you read New Avengers, Daredevil takes very much a back seat in those, and he’s just kind of on the periphery. He’s kind of brooding, and he adds a comment here and there, and give some advice.

In Civil War he ends up being the device they use in order to bring the whole thing to a head. So, I hope that there would be a way of including him, and more kind of suggest at his nature, suggest what he’s capable of, without having to actually see it. But maybe I’m just being optimistic because I want to be in the movies, you know what I mean?

My view on the interview comes in many stages. I'll just interview myself.

What do you think about this Daredevil?

Well, it's certainly better than Ben Affleck's role as Daredevil. This Daredevil is even more grittier than anything Marvel ever produced. He's more serious, and his past defines how he acts behind the mask which is like his father. The only difference, that Matt actually wins his fight. The other characters in Daredevil, like Foggy Nelson and Karen Page is good too. I think they set the boundary for Matt so he wouldn't cross the line of killing.

Do you enjoy the character William Fisk aka Kingpin (Vincent d'onofrio)?

If you're saying, do I enjoy his act of killing then yes. *laughs* I do enjoy his role because in the comics, Kingpin was a ruthless character. He kills with no mercy with a smile, and that's how he’s supposed to be in the show. But he also has a person that he can be gentle with... A woman that know his other side of compassion. I do like that part too.

Any love connection you think should happen?

I do like the idea of Matt and Claire (The nurse) should go at it because I think they make a good couple. The one that takes care and stitches up the man and still kicks ass when needed to. And the other is the fighter. Though, I do know the relationship that may happen with be with Matt and Karen because in the comics, Matt coupled with the secretary.

Do you think Electra will have an appearance in the second season?

I would really be excited if she does show up. But she has to be tough, and strong and is badass. 

If you enjoy have any questions, please comment.

Avengers:Age of Ultron

Marvel's Avengers Age of Ultron was one of the greatest action packed movies of all superhero history! I mean, the scenes in the movie were excellent and the actors and actresses played their roles well. 

(( Going to ask myself some questions now. ))

What was my favorite part? 

Hm.. It'll have to be when the Avengers all went into battle in the beginning of the movie. The screen went slow motion for a quick moment so you can see how they were badass. And then the last part when they were prevent Ultron and his drones from activating the device. That was thee greatest!

What about Bruce and Natasha?

I'm sorry but I just don't like it. It seemed forced and unnatural. I mean, Natasha said in the first Avengers that 'Love is for Children'. Why change now? They only been in one movie together...and the most constant scene with them together was when Hulk tried to KILL her. It would have made more sense if Cap and Widow were together because they've been in 5 movies so far together. But I do like the concept of her being alone. Sorry Joss.

What about the new characters? Vision? Scarlet Witch? Quicksilver?

Theses characters were really, really good in the movie! I loved Wanda Maximoff the most because of the girl power and her mind manipulation powers. Quicksilver was the best...I'm still sad about how he got killed off. Marvel didn't let him walk it off... Vision was very good too! I liked how he picked up Thor's hammer. 

And Ultron? How was he?

Ultron was really good as the bad guy in the movie... Though, I thought he would be more raw and evil. Ultron in the comic books had no emotion, at all! And that's what makes him so scary and a threat. But in the movie, Ultron had too much emotion so it didn't make me cringe. I did enjoy it some part in the movie like when he was fighting Steve and when he was fighting Vision.
