Captain Carter in Marvel’s ‘What If…?’ Is Everything We Hoped She’d Be and More

features, tv

Disney’s What If…? has finally premiered and its first episode, “What if…Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?” is everything I could have hoped it would be. As the self-proclaimed biggest Peggy Carter fan, it’s great to get to see her shine in a way where her name is honored and remembered. Insert, my villain origin story always being the detail that people seem to often ignore just how much she has to overcome at a time where women weren’t granted voices in order to make the S.S.R. a better place. At the height of all, by some, she is often

Marvel’s What If… has always sounded like a riveting concept, but seeing the actual trailer and

In Memoriam of Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark and the Legacy of Iron Man, the World’s Best Defender

features, movies

“The earth lost its best defender.” To requote Captain America — the world lost its best defender. And while death is difficult to discuss, it’s cathartic when mourning a tremendous loss. Tony Stark’s sacrificial death was one felt everywhere — a fictional loss that’ll be with us for years to come because so few before him have had such a poignant, profoundly colossal impact.

Spoilers Ahead Believe the hype — it’s real, it’s wonderful, and it’s the best cinematic experience in recent years with some of the most captivating performances that have ever graced our screens. Black Panther is a masterpiece; it’s an undeniable brilliance, but I’m not here to write a film review, there’s plenty of those already. I’m here to talk about the relationships that I can’t stop thinking about, and how the film emphasized the importance of unity and communication. And the story of the Black Panther, the emphasis on T’Challa as a man, a King — an Avenger is only beginning.
