​Brant Englestein writes the fourth episode of Agent CTharter. This episode kicks off with Jarvis pretending to sell to some criminals while Carter sneaks around the back to take them out. They then go meet with Stark who takes out the last bad guy standing. They sneak Stark back to his house but things get tricky when agents are standing outside his house. Carter takes Stark back to her place and sneaks him up. Remember the land lady is crazy strict about men being upstairs.

She puts Stark into the dumb waiter but the Land Lady catches her. She leads Carter back to her room, forcing her to leave the dumb waiter behind. She tells Carter that she isn't old enough to take care of herself or keep herself from messing around with boys. The land lady makes Carter open the dump waiter upstairs in front of her. Lucky Stark is gone and her bag is left there. She waits till the land lady is gone and then goes looking for him. It isn't long before she finds him in a nearby room messing around with her neighbor. Carter forces him to leave. She can't let people find out that she is hiding Stark in her room.

Thomson takes charge of the SSR for the time being and he tells everyone that no one is leaving or resting until they get some headway against Stark. He orders Carter to go get their lunch. They really look down on her since she is a woman. It isn't right.

Sousa breaks ranks and goes to look for information on his own. Doing what he calls real police work. Carter comes home to find Stark in yet another girls room. This man just can't keep it in his pants. Sousa brings in a man who he thinks has some information on who called him in the tip the other day, the tip we know was called in by Jarvis, Thompson gives Sousa a hard time for it. He is so full of himself. He makes Sousa to let the bum go because he isn't giving out information right off the bat. Sousa fights him on it.

Stark tells Carter that the weapon the SSR recovered in the last episode could wipe out the cities power and that he needs her to switch it out with a fake one so that the government can't use it. She agrees and gets in the car with Jarvis. Meanwhile Sousa is getting nowhere with the bum when Thomson comes in and offers him food. He starts talking and tells them about a girl, not the blonde in the picture and a guy who went onto the boat. It is all he saw before the cops came. What we know is that it is the same girl. That it is Carter. Sousa is hunting Carter and doesn't know it.

The Chief is visiting a Nazi prisoner to find out information on the  Battle of Finow in exchange he will give him a pill so he can kill himself and make it painless. He tells the chief that no one died by German hands in the battle and chief gives him the pill. We find out that the pill is really just a breath mint. He played him.

Carter doesn't trust Jarvis or Stark and instead of bringing the device back to them she opens it and finds a vial of blood. She pockets it and leave. She ends up in a room with Thompson who asks her why she works here? As a woman she will never equal with a man and she should accept that. He is clearly a little too deep into that bottle that he is drinking.

Carter confronts Stark about the blood and he admits that it is Captain America's. He says that he lies to protect himself. One viral went to the government and one went to Howard. The Government is almost finished with theirs and they will keep Starks. She thinks he just wants it for the money. She tears him down. She tells him to get lost and she is done working to help clear his name. Meanwhile the white hair man who has been following her all episode shows up outside and tries to sneak into Carter's room when the next door neighbor tells him she wants his gun. She shows off some cool ass moves as she snaps his neck.

Jarvis comes up to Carter and she tells him she could tell he knew all along. He then goes to Stark and tells him that this is his fault but Stark says that Jarvis can get her back on his side. This of course leads us to the Stan Lee Cameo! He is sitting next to Stark as he gets his shoes cleaned.

The chief comes back to his office and catches up with what has been happening while he was gone. Carter comes home, Stark is gone and her neighbor has hid the dead body under her bed. Carter turns on the music and starts to hammer away at the wall behind a picture so that she can hide the blood there. She then puts the bricks back in place and rehangs the picture. The chief gets a mystery message that we don't get to see yet and thus ends another great episode in the life of Peggy Carter. With a part of Steve Rogers in it! Well his blood anyways.

​Episode 3 of our show written by Andi Bushell starts off with our hero going through her notes as a man tries to climb into her apartment window. It turns out that he is the boyfriend of the girl next door. He asks if he can come in to get next door but Peggy just closes the window on his face. The poor guy just wants to see his girl. Said girl is found out and kicked out of the complex for it. They are very strict at this place.

Thomson and the other male agents are going over what they found out. They are still well behind Carter. But they did find a lead on Stark, things don't look good for the father of the man of iron. Peggy and Jarvis go to one of Starks houses and moments later Thomson and Sousa show up. They take Jarvis away but don't spot Carter. It's always hard watching the good guys suck so bad at their jobs.

Jarvis is being questioned by Thomson while Carter watches on pretending not to know who he is. At one point in time Jarvis was charged with treason and got a dishonorable discharge. Thomson tries to use this against him. Telling him that he could use it to get him deported.

Jarvis is close to cracking, or so they think and Carter takes off and picks up some paper work for the chief to sign. He is too busy watching the questioning that he doesn't even read what he signs. She then tells the chief, where Jarvis could hear her, that she found the stolen car report. They yell at her, thinking that she didn't know what she was doing. They look down on her and she played them, using it against them.

A new girl named Dotty Underwood moves in to replace the one that was just kicked out. Carter, trying to get some work done, pisses of her only real friend. She then goes on to confront Jarvis but he has nothing to say. He shows her the spot where someone dug into the room. She starts to ask him about what he did that was treason but he won't answer. She doesn't push it too hard.

Sousa has the hots for Carter but doesn't know how to go about it. Jarvis tells Carter why he was given a charge of treason. He forged his commander's name to save the woman who would become his wife. She was Jewish during world war 2 and was to be put to death. He did the only thing he could and Stark saved him. Despite what people say about him he is a good man.

Agent Carter finds the stolen items  but Jarvis points out that she can't turn them in because they will think that she is working with Stark, which she is. He tells her that she has to clear his name from the shadows. She can't be seen as the one doing the work. Jarvis puts on a voice and call Sousa to tell him where the weapons are.

A man guarding the weapons almost kills Carter before Jarvis jumps in. He almost takes Jarvis out before Carter takes him out. This dude is a good fighter but our girl wins in the end.  They leave him with the weapons. He can tell everyone that it was Jarvis and Carter that stopped him. That would not be good! Sure enough he tells them about an English girl who stopped him but before he could say anymore the car gets rammed and the agent is killed, as is he.

Sousa think that it was a set up. That's why they called their office. The chief says that they are all in this mess because of Howard Stark. Making Carter's job even harder.

Carter goes to her friends job and tells her about her day, well a version of her day. Thus fixing their friendship. It only had to come at the death of a coworker.

​The thrilling second episode of Agent Carter, written by Eric Pearson, starts off with the one and only Ralph Garman of Hollywood Babylon Flame playing a radio actor. Can we just take a moment to sit in awe of the greatest unknown actor America has ever seen? He should get an Oscar, just saying.

Carter tells Jarvis that she should go forward in the investigation alone, feeling that he won't be of much help to her. Little does she know! Across town an nonspeaking assassin goes looking for his target, one Leet Brannis.

The search for Stark leads Thomson to the Raxxon company, any fans of the comic world know that name well. The are an evil oil company that causes a lot of problems for heroes over the years, mostly Iron Man. Now Peggy has a problem, there was a good chance she was exposed to a small sample of radiation and now her boss wants her to scan the women at Raxxon for it. This could prove difficult for her.

Luckily only her watch was registering so she was able to help out without giving herself away. She recognized one of the men in line from the other night and suggests they check his clothes for radiation as well. He takes off running and the male agents give him chase. Carter catches him first without even trying. Proving once again that she is better than the rest of them.

Peggy is currently staying at one of Stark's houses but her friend from the dinner keeps trying to sell her on moving in to her building, making them neighbors. Peggy keeps shooting her down, hurting the poor girls feelings. Peggy catches the nonspeaking assain and convinces him to help her, while on the road they get attacked.

While fighting on the roof with the attacker they lose control of the van and it goes over a cliff and explodes. Peggy makes it off while Jarvis pulls the nonspeaking man out. His voice box is broken and he is dying. The only clue he can give them is drawing a heart. Peggy rubs it out and takes off with Jarvis so that the other agents don't find the same clue.

Peggy agrees to move into her friends building. Her friend couldn't be more excited! Sousa is looking for a blonde girl who he believes can help him find Stark, little does he know that the blonde girl is Peggy in a wig!

The second episode of the Agent Carter ends and leaves us wanting more, just as any great show does!!

The second ABC show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This one set in 1946, following the adventures of Peggy Carter. She has to deal with being a woman in a man's world all the while dealing with the loss of her beloved Steve Rogers AKA Captain America.

In the first episode written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeel we start off with a flash back to Captain America crashing the plane into the ice at the end of the movie. It sets up Peggy's emotional arc for the first season. We also are quickly exposed to the story arc, it would seem that Howard Stark is wanted by the authorities. Howard Stark, the father of Tony Stark, no matter what the comic books say.

We see right off the bat that Peggy is not treated well at the SSR, Strategic Scientific Reserve, she is thought of as nothing but a woman. Women are seen as less than men and she suffers for that. They want Peggy to watch the phones but she forces her way into the room.

She is insulted by her fellow agents but Daniel Sousa sticks up for her. She snaps at him, telling him that she doesn't need help. That she can take care of herself. She isn't wrong. People treat her like she was nothing more than Cap's girlfriend during the war, not noting that she was so much more.

Outside the bar she meets Jarvis and knocks him out. And shoots at Stark before figuring out its him. He tells her about how his store room was robbed. He asks her to look into things and clear his name. She agrees.
It isn't long before she starts to look into the case, even stealing information out from under Thomson who is assigned the case.


Jarvis doesn't much care to venture outside his home at night, something that changes really fast once he starts living a life of action. And oh what action we have in this first episode. While not on the budget of the big films in the universe it still looks amazing for a low budget TV show.

Welcome to the MCU of the late 40's. Hope you survive the experience. ​

​Captain America the First Avenger. Why did we decide to start with this one and not Iron Man? Well this one takes place first. If you are going to follow the universe as it goes why not go episode by episode in the universe's own order.

Now I have always been a huge Captain America fan so when they announced they were going to do a Captain America movie I was beyond excited. When Chris Evans from the Fantastic Four movies was cast I'll admit I was a bit worried. Those movies weren't as bad as people like to say they are but they weren't really all that great either. This could be the end of Marvel right before the Avengers was to come out.

Boy was I wrong! Now I know a lot of people like to give this movie shit but I really don't see it. I have always found it enjoyable. It's a fun period piece that captures the heart of the character. The movie was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely while Joe Johnston stepped in to direct it.

The film opens up in present day as people come across Steve Rogers frozen. How did this happen? What does it mean? Well you have to watch the movie to find out. Or well, have read any Marvel comic since the 60's. It isn't long before we come back to the modern time and see how a weak Steve Rogers keeps trying to sign up for the Army but he is too sickly. His best friend, Bucky is getting ready to ship off to war. We are also introduced to Howard Stark, Tony's father.

Steve is found out for falsifying his records. Dr. Abraham Erskine offers Steve a chance to make a difference in the war. The chance to become a solider like he always dreamed off. He has the spirit of one. Not long before this he fought a guy in a movie theater because he was being rude. That's who he is. What kind of man he is.

Across the world the Red Skull is looking for artifacts left behind by Odin and company. He is hoping that it will give Hydra the power it needs, not to help the Nazis win but to take over the world themselves, by passing the Nazi's altogether. For his efforts he finds the Tesseract and it works better than he could ever have hoped.

Next we are introduced to Agent Peggy Carter. For the next few months we will be talking a lot about her. After all she currently has two seasons of a TV show as well a short film. Not to mention her being in the next Captain America movie, Age of Ultron and Antman. She's everywhere! And we love it!

The training is hard, more so for Rogers than anyone else because he is a small sickly kid. But we quickly learn that while he may not be the strongest or most fit he is smart. He has a way of thinking outside the box. The general doesn't like Rogers but when he tries to prove that he won't work he inadvertently proves that he is the only man for the job. Steve Rogers will become the first of many super soldiers. 

During the car ride to the site of the experiment we see the birth of the budding romance between Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers. It takes a step up after the experiment succeeds and he comes out as a big strong man instead of the weak sick kid who went inside.

Dr. Erskine is killed, Rogers and Carter chase after the killer and catch him but not before he kills himself. Meanwhile Hitler sends some of his Nazi's to tell the Red Skull that he has over reached and that Hydra is being shut down. Red Skull doesn't take the news well and has those officers killed. Hydra is no longer part of the Nazi's they are an evil all to themselves now.

The Serum that gave Roger's his strength is gone and he is now one of a kind. The general told him he was useless to the cause and they left him alone. They turned him into a propaganda machine, that was why his uniform was created all colorful and they gave him his shield. It wasn't to fight it was to sell war bonds.  The real soldiers did not like him, while they were fighting and dying he was just singing songs and talking a big game. He was useless.

He finds out, incorrectly that Bucky has been killed in action so Steve Rogers finally decides that enough is enough and jumps into action, with Carter and Stark at his side.

What is one of my favorite parts about the movie, we meet the howling commandos. Minus Nick Fury, because in the movie verse he isn't immortal. But Dum Dum is there and what could be better than that? Hell if I know!

Cap quickly frees everyone, even finding a very alive Bucky. He also comes face to face with the Red Skull for the first time. As do we when he finally takes off his mask and shows us his red Skull. The Red Skull escapes and Captain America gets Bucky out of the crumbling building alive.

Tommy Lee Jones has always been an incredible actor. He pays the General who hates Rogers and that should be enough to make you not like him but you always find yourself liking him. Even when he dresses Carter down you still see the honorable man behind the actions.

How can we forget the one and only Stan Lee! He has cameo in this film as a man in uniform waiting on Captain America to accept a reward. Now while Stan Lee had nothing to do with creating Captain America, that was Joe Simon and Jack the King Kirby. Now that isn't to say Stan Lee had nothing to do with the character. His first writing assignment for Timely Comics, the company that would one day go on to become Marvel comics was on a half page text story about the character. It was called Captain America foils the Traitor's Revenge in Captain America Comics #3. He also brought Captain America into the modern Marvel universe in Avengers #4 when the Avengers find him frozen in ice much as he is at the start of this film.

The general starts to put together a team to help Cap but he instead brings on the howling commandos. Carter walks in on a girl kissing him and their quick romance comes to a halt. He also finds out that Carter and Stark have nothing going on, a rare treat for a womanizer like Stark.

Cap finally gets his circular shield that Peggy then shoots, Oh there is trouble in Paradise. It isn't long before Cap takes his howling commandos out on the town so to speak and they start kicking hydra ass. How do people not love this movie? I don't get it.

Cap and Bucky make it inside the train holding Zola. During the fight Bucky is tossed from the train and everyone believes he is dead. More on him in Winter soldier. After losing his best friend Cap still manages to capture Zola.

Captain America fights the Red Skull's men and ends up getting himself captured. Now I love this movie and don't want to nitpick, but there are some bad CGI shots in this fight, like when he throws the hydra guy in the air. You could have done better Marvel. Anyways, back to the story! The Howling Commandos jump in and save Cap, tossing him his shield. Things are heating up!

Cap and Peggy share a kiss just before he jumps onto the plane that the Red Skull is flying off in. Now this is really paying tribute to the comics. In Avengers #4, Captain America's story is retconned to say that Cap and Bucky were holding onto a plane that went down over the ocean and that is how Cap became frozen. They use that same plot point in this film. This is what makes the MCU so amazing, they stay so close to the comics. It is almost as if the comics are coming to life off of the page.

On the plane Cap and Red Skull fight it out. Red Skull is sucked away, is he dead? Who knows, I don't think so but maybe. Cap calls Peggy and they say their goodbyes as he crashes the ship into the ice. Dying a heroes death because that is who Captain America is. A hero.

He wakes up in a room with a nurse who looks a lot like Carter. A baseball game that he has already heard plays on the radio. It is clear that something is amiss. He breaks out of the room and finds himself in present day New York city where he meets Nick Fury.

Unlike the rest of Marvel's movies, this one doesn't really have a post credit scene. It instead has a trailer for the Avengers. Over all I really love this movie. Is it the best that the MCU has to offer? No not even close, but it is a great great film!
