Unfolding around the core of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, its scraps have also been dug up. First, "S.H.I. After Captain America "died", the war soon ended. Carter joined the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. and formed the S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard Stark, the father of "Iron Man". Although the Nazis are no longer there, the remnants are endless, and the lurking forces from all sides gather in New York (the major events in the movie world seem to happen in New York) to perform a retro version of a unique superhero story.
Judging from the current episodes, "Agent Carter" has a very retro style. This retro is reflected in the building group, clothing, background structure, lines and screen tone, and because of the alternative protagonist, the story is full of feminist ideas. . Most people born in SHIELD are not born heroes with superpowers. The black widow and the eagle eye are like this, the falcon and the sound bird are like this. Except for the halo of the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. on his head, Carter was first only a woman, an independent woman, a female agent with many skills such as fighting and investigating. This is very different from the patriarchal superhero, many people are attracted by the passion, but have no feeling for the tender rose. "Agent Carter" is a card that Marvel came up with surprisingly. Regardless of the era and the protagonist, it has nothing to do with the timeline of the movie in the 21st century. It not only serves the "Avengers", but also becomes a new star on the small screen. .
If you want to create a female sci-fi spy drama, you have to involve feminism. Before World War II, it was the era of real men, and the status of women was always lower than that of men. After World War II, a large number of women began to awaken their consciousness, walked out of the family, went to work, and demonstrated their charm of the times with the women's liberation movement. In the recent biographical film "Big Eyes", the heroine went to a furniture company to apply for a job. The interviewer asked: "Do you agree with your husband when you go out to work?" Take this as an example. Also in "Agent Carter", Carter is also deeply troubled by this: the apartment he lives in is all women, and men are denied entry, and he is assigned trivial work in the department, and is often despised by the director and deputy director. But the times cannot stop the rise of women with real ability. Carter finally walked out step by step, from the grief of losing his lover, and from the shadow of weakness imposed on women by society.
An American drama with women as the only protagonist, in addition to Hailee Atwell's true acting skills, it must also have a solid plot. When I first watched "S.H.I.E.L.D.Season 1", it was completely influenced by the Marvel Universe, but it became more and more boring. DC's "Flash" also followed the clichés. "Agent Carter" opens a new storytelling mode. Although each episode is divided into paragraphs, it does not look like a TV series, but a movie. The villains are blurred, the plot follows the clues, and the audience's emotions and views are driven. , Xiaojing and the main line are rich with each other, and the connection is extremely rich and proper. In the retro lens, there is a kind of simple beauty to appreciate.
Not only is the retro theme and the feminist show, the show also has more connections with the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark, Hydra...a big net is being rolled out, and I believe many audiences are attracted by this. , To explore the new drama. This extravaganza is surprisingly innovative and has endless aftertastes, and it is worth continuing to pursue it.
