Wow, the Agent Carter short was way better than I expected.
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/s91p1x80mybrb9f/agentcarter.mp4 She was really great in the Captain America movie, and even though she was probably there as "the love interest," whoever did the actual writing made her more than that. I went out of that movie liking her and wanting to know more. So I loved that they made a short about her!
And even though it kinda hits you over the head with it, the short is wayyy more feminist than I would have thought. Maybe mainstream things can address "isms" when they're (in theory) safely in the past? Though the post-credit Howard and "bikini" part was an ~interesting contrast to the main. A bunch of different ways to read that, though I think it was actually very smart storytelling as much as it was heheheh or even undercutting on the surface. Overall I loved that Peggy did have a Howard to help her out. So many awesome women didn't. But I love a happy ending! And Peggy running SHIELD oh yeahhh. :DD
This makes me have hopes for shorts for other characters that the suits worry couldn't carry a movie.
