Orestes Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/05/08/abc-shield-agent-carter/ Quote “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring “Captain America’s” Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life – Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” along with the short “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.” “Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter. Executive producers are Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters, Steve McFeely & Christopher Marcus, and Jeph Loeb. Hopefully Dominic Cooper comes back as Howard Stark.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted May 9, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted May 9, 2014 Gotham on FOX Arrow on CW (love Arrow!) The Flash on CW Agents of SHIELD on ABC Five Marvel Shows on NETFLIX Now: Agent Carter on ABC That Rumored X-Men Show on FOX A lot of people think that the superhero genre is in danger of crashing as it releases too many movies on film. I have rejected that theory since 3-4 films a year really isn't that much. The real threat to the overextension of the superhero genre is actually coming from television. It's like Westerns. They used to be really popular in the big screen and on TV but it got crowded (especially on TV) which has killed the genre to this day (despite all the talks about one day bringing it back). Even if you chose to ignore the DC properties, you have the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe that now requires like seven different tv shows to get the full experience? Talk about requiring a major commitment from the die-hard fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about requiring a major commitment from the die-hard fans. I dont think all five Netflix series are airing next year. As far as I know, the only one that's confirmed is Daredevil. They also won't be ongoing series. They each get the 12 or so episode thing, then they all get together in Defenders. But even if we get two series next year, that's equal to one regular season's worth of a network show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerns were popular for decades they have been making comic book movies since the 1970's and while it has had periods of rise and fall it has remained popular because superheroes are so diver and different from one another that audiences don't feel deja vu. Superman, spiderman, batman, Iron man have completly different feels and themes just because they come from the same medium doesn't make them the same 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't have much interest in this honestly. For me it's a combination of liking Peggy Carter in the first Cap, really enjoying the Agent Carter one shot, and finding Hayley Atwell totally dreamy . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I would argue that the SH genre really only came to fruition in the 21st century. I think it has at least another 10 to 20 years left, maybe more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 We're getting an 8 episode first season. I like the sound of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) At least it's only 8 episodes. I'm sick to death of these 22-23 episode network shows. It's one of the main reasons why most network shows suck so badly. No TV season should be longer than 16 episodes and most should be in the 8-13 range.

Orestes Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Looks like Cooper will be back as Howard Stark, from the telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10875547/Hayley-Atwell-goes-to-war-with-Dominic-Cooper.html Now, the wacky actress is hoping to continue with the larks when Dominic Cooper joins her on the set of her forthcoming television series, Agent Carter. “He’s incredibly naughty,” she tells me at the Glamour Women of the Year awards with Next in Berkeley Square. “So I’m going to start the pranks as early as I can. He will come up with some very good ones, too.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Fantastic news about the Russos directing 2 episodes and Johnston maybe getting one too! This show is going to be high quality! So from the sounds of it, all the episodes will take place in 1946. If there's a season 2, I hope they go to 1947, and so on. That would be awesome, to see the SSR/Shield/Marvel Universe grow year by year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
