Now that I'd like to see. Don't think it will happen, though.
"Agent Carter" season one discussion and spoilers
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Well, nobody's succeeded with a shared movie universe that was this systematic, broad, and successful, but it wasn't the absolute first of its kind. There have been film crossover series in the past. For instance, Toho's Godzilla/kaiju universe in which different giant monsters started off with their own solo movies and then ended up in team-up movies, all being treated as one big shared universe, albeit with very shaky continuity. And Universal did something similar with its horror films a generation earlier. Then there's the Aliens/Predator franchise and the crossovers among the Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Evil Dead franchises. It's pretty common in horror, evidently. And there were a couple of '40s movies that crossed over the radio series Fibber McGee and Molly with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, so that would be the first instance of a multimedia shared universe that I can think of.
Then there are certain filmmakers who treat most or all of their separate, seemingly unrelated films as being in the same reality, like John Hughes, Quentin Tarantino, and Kevin Smith (the so-called "View Askewniverse").
Bit of a brainbending in-joke when he had a cameo in The Wire propping up the same bar as Jay Landsman, the retired cop turned actor who Munch was based on. As was the fictional Landsman in the show...
I took the focus of the conversation to be shared movie universes specifically. After all, there have been so many shared TV universes over the decades that I figured everyone understood there was nothing new about them in that medium.
The only similar examples I can think of are independent filmmakers like Chris Mihm or Don Glut.
AND NOW...!
Act I:
Jarvis haggling with some guys...crooked guys.
Peggy making like The Batman!
"I like predictable, and I like greedy." I like it. And I love Howard casually noting sexy stars know about his secret place, without irony.
That woman landlady, showing yet another instance of "straw virtuous". But it's cool she's a master detective, of sorts. Interesting how she knows Freud and uses him to justify her attitudes...and then says women shouldn't know about him.
Hmm...again, Chief is smart. I wonder if that Nazi Colonel's with HYDRA....
And...Howard being Howard. And not just Howard Stark.

Act II:
Okay, I don't get: Stark is staying at Peggy's place? That's asking for trouble--only a matter of time before something makes the landlady smell a rat. Surely there's some kind of alternative or something.
"Marge, start getting the lunch orders." Okay, more of this? Really?
"Howard Stark is either an ignoramus or a genius." "Most likely both." A little obvious, but
nonetheless.
Sousa being awesome.
Machine gun pistol, hmm?

Act III:
Geez, does Howard have ANY idea how troublesome this can be for him AND Peggy?
Love Sousa's monologue! Poignant, and meaningful. And again, he's the smart one.
Interesting...so everything's accounted for.

Act IV:
Ah...! A pinch, a la Ocean's Eleven! Only permanent, a la Revolution.
Gotta say, Thompson's okay, here! Good idea.
Okay...let's see Chief do his stuff.
Jarvis's ear-tugging....
Love it: Chief isn't helping him get away...he'll help him die painlessly. And a MOST intriguing revelation. But it seems that rules out HYDRA, if no German killed at Finow.
Okay--Peggy, on the off chance Howard wasn't lying? That was a STUPID thing to do!
Hmm...Thompson being sympathetic with Peggy, about the "lunch orders". And he knows her real name is Peggy...the blatant sexism was just an act. Of sorts. Good to know.
Whoa. How is THAT for a reveal!

No, he's not. It was a breath mint. He gave one to the guard as he was leaving.
Indeed. Suppose that went past me as I was writing....
Act V:
Let's see the landlady put her detective skills to the test....
"Project Rebirth". Big arc in the comics--the origins of Wolverine, Nuke, Hulk, right?
Okay--so how did the guy get past the landlady?
I knew it. I knew it--as I predicted! Too much emphasis on that young lady to mean anything other than She Will Be Important.

The Man!
Act VI:
STAN LEE!!! And the music cue!
Sousa getting close. Guess Peggy's right not to "trust" those who respect her.
The typewriter...the TYPEWRITER!
Trailer:
Dum-Dum and Co. are back! And is the little girl someone we should know?

The brick walls explain how Peggy and Howard can raise their voices at each other, but Peggy's not busted for having a man in her room.
It wasn't nice at all. He didn't acknowledge Peggy's plight to sympathize with her, but to put her in her place, to tell her that she was deluded to imagine she deserved the same respect as a man.
I'd almost thought that he was trying to trick her into decking him?
Look how fricking Aryan he is.
I'm thinking that he is a NAZI sleeper agent who was never activated before the war finished.
of course, if he was Red Guardian, that makes him the Black Widow's (even if it's the wrong Back Widow's) husband.
Sometimes Sleepers go native.
