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

This Week’s Most Noteworthy Performance: Tom Hiddleston

this week's most noteworthy performance, tv

July 11-17“For All Time, Always” | Loki Tom Hiddleston Tom Hiddleston always understands the assignments in front of him and goes for the extra credit every time too. He is essentially the embodiment of the latest internet meme because there are so few like Hiddleston who are able to escape so easily into whatever role they’ve just taken on. And in every way that matters, Tom Hiddleston is the reason Marvel’s Loki Laufeyson is as memorable of a character as he is. As someone who generally isn’t fond of villains (and more often than not isn’t even fascinated by the

Marvel’s ‘What If…?’ Trailer Is Here and Captain Carter is Coming

news, tv

Marvel’s What If… trailer is here and we can’t stay calm because Captain Peggy Carter is coming! There is a lot that happens in the trailer, but chills, tears, all the emotions because the what if concept exploring Peggy Carter as Captain America (England?) is everything to me. Hayley Atwell will be reprising her role as the S.S.R. agent turned founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. except this time, instead of Steve Rogers taking the soldier serum and the vibranium made shield, it will be Peggy Carter. Marvel’s What If… has always sounded like a riveting concept, but seeing the actual trailer and

Loki 1×05 “Journey Into Mystery” Highlights

features, tv

For starters, I’d like to take a moment to complain about the fact that “Journey Into Mystery” is the penultimate episode and that means next week is the finale, which I just boldly reject. I want to watch and unpack Loki every week. I don’t want it to ever end. I have also decided that I just no longer understand the concept of time travel and neither does the Marvel Cinematic Universe—I say this with love. What I do understand however, is that quiet moments of character development will always be at the forefront of an excellent episode, and this

Loki 1×04 “The Nexus Event” Highlights

features, tv

Where does one even begin with an episode like “The Nexus Event?” Did anyone else stare at their wall for a good five minutes after the mid-credits scene?Because I did, and I would like to feel less alone about this. Loki is proving to be a series about self-love and self-discovery, and it’s doing so without being overtly obnoxious. It’s a series where words are blatantly spoken at times, but it never feels like it’s trying to sell the audience on something as much as it’s trying to evolve an incredibly complex character. And Loki Laufeyson has never been more

Loki 1×03 “Lamentis” Highlights

features, tv

“Lamentis” is one heck of an episode even in its quiet exhibition, which is what’s so stunning about this chaotic treasure of a series. In an unsurprising turn of events, Loki keeps getting better and better. We’re halfway through the series and already bummed that there will be an end in sight. Season two needs to happen. This cannot just be a mini-series, it’s too good for that. (I say this with utmost love.) Loki is chaos personified, and it’s exactly why he’s so beloved. “Lementis” might not have gotten us far in the realm of the TVA’s agenda, but

Scene Breakdown: When Hands Linger Between Peggy and Daniel in Agent Carter’s “Life of the Party”

scene breakdown, tv

When hands linger, it’s always every viewer’s dream, right? There are very few swoon-worthy scenes quite like when two people the audience is rooting for finally hold hands. And that’s certainly the case with Agent Carter’s Daniel Sousa and Peggy Carter in “Life of the Party.” This isn’t the first time they hold hands; it happens casually at first. It happens without a second thought because it is done to help a friend, but where the desires start to scream, we see the changes in their physicality. The longing for more—the longing that goes beyond what they can even process
