Agent Carter did not start out well for me. Going through old material on Captain America, I still haven't found the part where she's ever portrayed as a helpless Snow White clone. So that radio show within the show was total BS. Also, Peggy's problem in the show is she doesn't think she's treated with enough respect. But then, she does everything painfully in secret, so that nobody has any reason to trust her and nobody gets to see her be a hero except Jarvis...whom nobody respects because he's a buffoonish butler.

Also, I realize that one jackass in the diner was specifically designed to be someone contemptible; but did Carter really just threaten to shove a fork through an artery of his and kill him? Was his obnoxiousness really worth her acting like a complete psycho? And how does that make her heroic, to murder in cold blood a defenseless fat man whose only crime was being rude to a waitress? The show's own feminism discredits itself at every turn, leaving us with nothing but a psychotic, bitter version of Hayley Atwell that seems to want to be Steve Rogers' distaff counterpart - but without his sense of class nor his sense of morality. We already have that....Black Widow.
