Amph Marvel's Agent Carter

Are "ratings" even a factor on shows that air exclusively on D+? They get these new shows all the time (and I'm not talking about the big Marvel ones) and I can't imagine they'd get even a quarter of the network ratings you'd want to keep a regular show on the air.

 

Well I wish I could understand why AC didn't get the views/ratings it should have gotten; but I most certainly have my suspicions.

 

It Still Stings: The MCU's Agent Carter Erasure

Tbh, I guess it just hasn't even dawned on me that Marvel decided to completely shelf the series as non-canon when they knew how Avengers: Endgame would end. CA needed the happy ending. Peggy winds up the housewife, but at least she's dancing with her beloved. It's the 1940s, so she must be happy about that.

 

Except it's not erased, as it's Steve's trip back branches off a completely different timeline from the MCU's.

 

But it's the same timeline where old Steve shows up to greet them at the end of Endgame, isn't it?

 

But what exactly does that mean? Is Agent Carter still canon in the MCU universe despite Old Steve recollecting on his life with Peggy?

 

The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little

 

But it doesn't exactly give any light to suggest that AC would ever be picked up again either.

 

Why not? Anything can happen in the Multiverse

 

The article doesn't give much hope to it of course. Back when the show was canceled, it was years before most of the female MCU heroes had their own spotlight. As it suggests, if you only name some obscure Marvel character, there's a chance he/she would get their own series these days. In hindsight, if the show only began now on D+, I'm sure it would've thrived.

 

I'll take your word for it.

 

I'm not concerned with the trivial this happened so this happened scenarios that the writers and directors have confirmed to establish the timeline. I just want to know if there's any hope that he show could be rebooted (with Hayley Atwell reprising her role). I follow a public fan page of Hayley's on Facebook, and all it's been showing recently are scattered Paparazzi pics of her. It would be nice if Marvel reconsidered her for something more than just the a VA nowadays for their animated show.

 

I'd love a short season showing what Peggy and Steve got up to in the 50's.

 

LOL they could film it cheaply by essentially using the same props from the first Wandavision show.

 

Well at least Captain Carter, at least an LA version, isn't beyond the scope of possibilities; considering Strange Supreme is already involved with the next big Marvel movie.

 

I like the idea that every episode of Agent Carter basically ended with Peggy going home and complaining to Steve about that Sousa guy who kept hitting on her at work.

 

I never saw the second season of Agent Carter. Was it any good?

 

It was fine. The only problem was that of course it abruptly ended with plotholes; and since the show was cancelled they couldn't fill them.

 

Story-wise it’s shakier, but production-wise it’s actually a step up. It’s got a looser, more energetic and assured tone to it. Lots of great character stuff to make up for the plot issues.
