I wonder why? This sucks because Jarvis is the hidden treasure of the MCU. And despite the ham fisted feminism of the first season, I still enjoyed it. I like my vintage 50s sci-fi.

I'd like to see them do some kind of flashback arc and show how SSR became SHIELD. I want to see SHIELD at it's hayday before NO MORE SHIELD LOL JK ITS STILL HERE era.

Perhaps they should try actually doing cape stuff instead of "CAPE HERO WITHOUT THE CAPE" like they keep trying to pull and maybe things would work better.

I like Agent Carter but it had very little to do with Marvel outside Stark, Steve references and others.

Season 1 was decent, but the pacing felt a little weird in the middle of the show. Season 2 was just fucking pandering and love triangle shit. The Winter Soldier writers created the show, left an outline how to do season 1, and that did ok. Giving the chicks actually running the show more power just became the same crap you see on TV all the time. Girl power! Muh decisions between two men! We're progressive here despite it being the late 40s and in Hollywood! The villain was also shit for season 2. Partly based on a real actress/scientist, but then they were to all the usual dull places with it.

Yeah, it's really not unheard of to see actors doing two shows at the same time, especially if they're in-house (under the same channel and/or production company).

Allison Janney starred in Mom and was a regular in Masters of Sex at the same time, for instance.
>>
>mfw

But seriously, this second season went nowhere and they should've just showed the SHIELD founding years instead of yet another adventure. Jarvis and Peggy were great but the story was very weak.

Season 1 was pretty great though, I really enjoyed it as a companion piece to Cap 1.

Oh well, better to be cancelled than to meander around while it's quality drops down further and further. This way it had a good season and a nice victory lap. Maybe they can tie up the story in AoS in a couple of episodes.

They've got 3 more shows coming down the pipeline. Two on ABC and one on freeform.

>>82704155
Because AoS is good. Because AoS gets higher DVR playback in key demos. Because AC is the one who killed the timeslot for AoS when it came back.

Gotham is currently 1.2 with no competition. Supergirl was doing the same in the end. Previously bother were 1.5 against each other. Before that, much higher ratings for each show when they started.

AoS was doing 1.4-1.7 an episode before AC Season 2. After, it bounces between .9 and 1.0 only. AoS is automatically renewed because of Season 4 syndication and DVR numbers. Agent Carter was doing .7 many weeks including the finale.

Maybe Marvel can work out something to continue Peggy's story. There's a lot left to tell.

Season 1:

>movie-side budget and and experimental project for ILM to test if they could maintain a TV-budget VFX sub-studio
>money was enough to buy Jazz songs from the 50's (which are expensive as fuck, by the way, their contracts are a fucking goldmine)
>money left over at the end of the season (said so in one of their podcasts)


Season 2:
>fans/previous writers wrote it
>tries to do that bullshit thing where they make up a story instead of telling the one everyone wants to watch
>keeps far away enough from the movies so it doesn't contradict continuity and never touches SHIELD, Howling commandos, Sousa's connection to Cap mentioned in S1, etc

Yeah, I guess it was meant to happen. Better this way than to end up on the same path as Arrow.

>She's gone. In her sleep.

>>82702602
Season 1 showed promise but Season 2 was awful, writers really dropped the ball on that one.

They should get the Netflix people to do a Seadon 3 later on and have Peggy form SHIELF and do some actual agent stuff, go around the world with the Commandos, meet heroes like Union Jack, Spitfire, Blazing Skull, Toro the Inhuman Torch, etc... then the season after that have it take place in the 60's, then 70's, 80's, so on until her death.

You not only flesh out Peggy's life but you also give those other eras of the MCU some history and some possibilities for spin offs.

>>82712877

>>
>>82712490
Also, the whole will they/wont they is so 90's. It is pointless to dedicate a whole season to a relationship drama. Cap 1 had a good romance storyline that even took the highlight of the third act, but the movie was never about it, it was about how much Cap affected the ones around him. Not just romantically, but morally.

S1 had this great thing where Peggy ended up changing everyone she cared about for the better at the end of the season, much like cap did in his movie, but S2 had none of that and it was just a love triangle. Might as well have had her and Sousa hook up in the break and explore their relationship throughout the season.

Even SHIELD as been consistently better than Flash this season because it doesn't dabble in romantic triangles and relationship drama.

People know who ends up with who, stop teasing and breaking up and coming back. We want the rest of the story that we can't get anywhere else.

Ant-Man and Civil War handled this brilliantly in my opinion. Things happen, it's cool, it's part of life, it's not relevant to the movie. So they aren't shown until it's relevant for whatever it is it affects. I like the whole 'private to the characters' approach these two had. I hope that by Ant-Man and the Wasp both main characters are already an established couple with the roles reversed from classic Ant-Man and Wasp where the guy is the cheerful one.

Meandering with it on the foreground while more interesting things get the shaft is pointless in these things.

And Wright wanted her and Falcon out of the movie. At first I thought they would be shoe-horning Darcy or something, but Cap's immediate cast is the best. Why would he not want to add them? Based Peyton was the hero we needed all along.

Vision is also cool. I wouldn't have minded him.

But seriously, I get that he signed his contract way before there was a cinematic Universe, but if you take 8 years to do it, fuck off and let somebody else do it.

This way we got the cornetto trilogy AND a decent Ant-Man movie. It was win-win.

>>82710273

It depends how it's done. I'm thinking Fitz get's stuck in the past for one episode, has to get Howard and Peggy's help to get home, maybe he discovers some secret thing about SHIELD. Or he uses the Winter Soldier's cyro-chamber thing to freeze himself and then be unlocked in the present. That was basically SHIELD with that technology anyways.

So it could be contained in the episode and not really change the timeline or anything.

I know exactly what you mean, time travel is like seasoning though, it can make something really interesting in the right amount but too much of kills the dish.
>>
>>82712993

>People know who ends up with who, stop teasing and breaking up and coming back.

I'm just going to say it.... it's women. Women are the ones who are more interested in that or they think, so they write in for them. I know a lot of girls who liked this show. But it's a short term gamble because the main audience is still the male/comic-loving side that get turned off by too much relationship drama and not enough everything else.

>And Wright wanted her and Falcon out of the movie.

I'm so glad they canned him. The fucker is the worst director-producer-whatever in Hollywood. Him and Shane Hack I mean Black fucked the MCU up pretty badly. I mean it's getting by (haven't seen Cap3) but it could of been better/smoother without their (and AoU directors) fuck ups.

That would have been preferable to what we got in Season 2, by a fair bit.

Really, they should have jumped farther forward and focused more on fucking SHIELD. That's what people wanted out of Agent Carter- Badass old timey spy stuff. Not miscegenation love triangles of Old Hollywood. That storyline was always going to go nowhere because we saw a picture of her kids, and they were white.
>>
>>82716865
>we saw a picture of her kids
Well, people date people that they don't marry. Her future marriage doesn't prevent her from dating Jason or Angie.
>>
>>82716865
Yeah, but I think they were counting on the show to get better ratings. They left a lot of hints for season 3, but that backfired.

I also read somewhere that their contract states that it would come in the same syndication package as SHIELD, so it would have a better grace when being renewed, since foreign channels would buy both (similar to CSI, for example). But I guess it actually bled money and even affected SHIELD's ratings since they came back to even lower than what they left.

I can't imagine SHIELD going beyond season 5 or something. At least on ABC.

Hope Peggy ended up with Sousa
