okay. i’m not trying to be that blogger who gets angry and complains about her fandom, but for a few minutes i’m gonna be that blogger. bear with me, please? i’m really sorry.
agent carter is NOT doing well. it’s just not. we can debate about it all we want, but already entertainment weekly is reporting it as a potential “flop.“ and that is beyond infuriating to me, because this show and this character is excellent.
is the plot breaking bad? no, of course not. but it is well-acted and engaging and, above all, entertaining. these actors have poured themselves into the project (especially hayley atwell). rotten tomatoes gave the show a 97% freshness rating. that is a good score. an awesome score. but each week, ratings slip, and now the show has dipped down into abc’s ratings “red zone.” that is just unacceptable.
if all the sjw and feminist bloggers are really as gung-ho about female representation as they say they are, then they need to back this project. this is the only female-led title on the marvel line-up until 2018. it needs support. it needs overwhelming, earth-shattering support.
if everyone in the marvel fandom claims to love peggy as much as we do, we need to do more for this show. that means fan art out the wazoo. i want so much fanfic that i have to blacklist it from my dash. i want pictures of eight-year-old girls dressing up as peggy carter. i want us each watching the show (LIVE, please) and then watching the DVR playback. and then i want us watching it on the abc website the next day. twice. three times. just play it in the background while you make lunch, i don’t care. give it attention.
please. again, not to be that blogger but – "spread this like wildfire.”
peggy may not have the brand name of captain america, but she has just as much power.
