Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:

“The performances are so good. I remember when we rehearsed it, Chris didn’t really act it fully, and we were all wondering what he was going to bring, until we started rolling. But, you know, he never really did that. In blocking or rehearsing, he would just walk through it, and he would always save the performance for the first take. In the screen test of Hayley Atwell, we shot this scene, and she had the crew in tears, and this was a screen test! And some extra was reading Steve’s lines off-camera. It was really amazing what she did with it. All I had to tell her was, “Do exactly what you did in screen test.” There’s a sense of inevitability about it, but there’s also the desire that it not be that way. She’s playing so much, it’s really spectacular.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“There was some debate whether to have this moment of memory loss but it just works so well in terms of everything  being taken from Steve. Even his one friend is ceasing to exist before his eyes. For us that was the most interesting component of him as a character: when do you get to see a character who has lost everything? Everything in his life is being stripped away from him. 
You could look at that Rip Van Winkle idea and play into the fantasy aspect of it all, “Oh isn’t it fun to go to the future and experience something you never would have?” But you equally have to appreciate the tragedy of it, the loss of it, the cost of it. At the end of the day, all great superheroes have something very tragic in their experience. And this is part of Steve’s tragedy.”

Captain America: The First Avenger Should Have Been 2 Movies

CATFA tried to pack the backstories for Howard, Peggy, Bucky, Zola, and Steve into one fucking movie, along with the whole Red Skull thing and they just ended up going nowhere. The Howling Commandos alone are worth an entire two hour film (it’s called Inglorious Basterds. I am in denial), and instead we get a montage.

Okay so the short version is the first one would be every prewar stucky fic ever and the second one would be Inglorious Basterds.

The long version is this. Here you go drop-deaddream, you asked for it.

If you haven’t been following Agent Carter, and you don’t watch ABC for promos, you may not be aware that tonight’s episode (airing at 9/8 C in the US) will be featuring the origins of the Black Widow program.

Marvel monitors social media pretty closely during their shows, livetweeting and sometimes retweeting their fans during both east coast and west coast airings, as well as monitoring the #AgentCarter hashtag.

If you want to show enthusiasm for more Black Widow content, excited live tweeting during the episode would be a great start. And if you wanted to follow up with some comments about how great it would be to see a film about this sort of thing (perhaps using the #BlackWidowMovie hashtag), well, this might be a great time for that as well.

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.
