Agent Carter is a television series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It stars Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, a British officer of the Strategic Scientific Reserve and co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was professionally and romantically involved with Steve Rogers during World War II in Captain America: The First Avenger. Supporting cast includes Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark, James D'Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, Shea Whigham, Lyndsy Fonseca and Bridget Regan.It is 1946, a year after the end of the war and the disappearance of Captain America. Thousands of trained men and women have come home from fighting, looking for a new place to use their skills. One of those is Peggy, still despondent after the loss of Steve and hampered from getting a better job by the misogyny of the times. But in between tedious office work for the SSR, Peggy is contacted by her old friend Howard Stark, eventual father of Tony Stark, who needs her help in clearing his name and finding whoever is stealing his restricted weapons. Accompanied by his butler Edwin Jarvis, Peggy puts her skills to the test, beating up bad guys and laying the foundation of S.H.I.E.L.D. itself.In Season 2, the setting shifts to 1947's southern California, with Peggy uncovering a new conspiracy while working for the new Los Angeles SSR branch. D'Arcy as Jarvis and Cooper as Stark return, along with new castmembers Wynn Everett as Whitney Frost, Lotte Verbeek as Ana Jarvis, and Reggie Austin as Jason Wilkes.The series was initially tested out with a Marvel One-Shot short of the same name released with the Iron Man 3 Blu-Ray in fall 2013. The executive producers of the show were Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, Steve McFeely and Christopher Marcus (writers of the Captain America movies), and Jeph Loeb.The first season, consisting of eight episodes, aired from January 6 to February 24, 2015, while the second season, consisting of 10 episodes, aired from January 19 to March 1, 2016. The series was cancelled on May 12, 2016 after its second season. Although numerous plot pointsnote such as who shot Thompson and why they wanted the redacted dossier on "M. Carter", and the fate of Dottie Underwood after her escape have as such never been resolved, we do learn some of what happened to Peggy and Howard after the events of the show in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame.

Anyone Can Die: Peggy and Howard Stark are protected (see Doomed by Canon/Saved by Canon) because we already know their post-1946 fates. Anyone else is fair game. Examples include: Colleen, Krzemenski, Yauch, and most shockingly, Chief Dooley who's billed as a regular but dies in the penultimate episode.

Instantly Proven Wrong: After Peggy and Jarvis kidnap Mr. Hunt, a Mook who'd made an attempt on their lives, they return to the Stark estate, with Hunt in the trunk, to find Chief Sousa waiting for them. Since this was an unauthorized (and very illegal) mission, she tries to keep him from finding out, even when knocking from the inside of the trunk starts.

Darker and Edgier
 Agent Carter / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The blatant sexism present in The First Avenger to a much less obvious extent receives a dramatic increase for the series. The show's visual style is also darker. First Avenger had a very warm look, with lots of golden lighting and soft focus to make things look friendly and heroic. In Agent Carter the lighting is cooler and the lens sharper, throwing everything into contrast. Several events in the series up to the penultimate episode are darker than anything to go down in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in its entirety, with possibly the most disturbing thing yet being the brief glimpses of the horrific murder-orgy that followed Item 17 being deployed in a theater room.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Peggy is on the phone to Jarvis, but has to wait impatiently while he attends to something else. While she's on hold, music is playing because Jarvis has placed the telephone receiver next to the radio. Brannis was right: she's not going to like the future.

Underestimating Badassery
 Agent Carter / int_1a8dc238
comment
Underestimating Badassery: Peggy's coworkers and superiors are all genuinely convinced that behind her bluster she's just another fragile English Rose who needs to be protected because she hasn't "grown up" and "learned her place" as a woman. As Peggy points out in the penultimate episode everyone ignores her unless she has coffee or reports because they all think of her as a "stray kitten" in need of shelter or a "secretary turned damsel" in need of protection. Thompson himself only realizes that Peggy is quite the badass when he finally sees her pick up a machine gun and start shooting people alongside her war buddies the Howling Commandos.

Hollywood Encryption
 Agent Carter / int_1cf08d1d
comment
Hollywood Encryption: Peggy is able to decipher a message encrypted via a one-time pad near instantly just by deducing that the original message was in Russian. In real life, a one-time pad message is based on a random cipher and thus is mathematically impossible to decode if one doesn't have its specific cipher.note There was a historical case of the NSA cracking some one-time pads, but the VENONA project was only possible because the Soviets got sloppy and reused the same set of pads to encrypt multiple messages during WWII, and even then only succeeded in decrypting maybe 1% of all messages sent with those pads despite 40 years of cryptanalysis. And even if that message had been sent using one of the VENONA pads, it seems highly implausible that Carter had memorized the 35,000 reused one-time pads which the Soviets were rapidly phasing out of use in 1946. The cipher being there with the message is unlikely, since the guy initially hired to hack spent hours with no results trying to crack the code and presumably would have recognized a Cyrillic alphabet cipher even if he didn't understand the words.

Tragic Intangibility: In Season 2, Jason Wilkes is rendered both intangible and invisible by a Zero Matter explosion early on. While Howard Stark creates a spray that can make him visible in short bursts, any time else he literally cannot even speak due to having intangible vocal chords. He spends much of his arc trying to figure out if and how he can get back to normal and be with Peggy.

Chekhov's Boomerang: The SSR photgraphs Peggy while she's disguised as a blonde at La Martinque, and she spends part of the second episode trying to steal the photos before learning that they're all from the back. Unfortunately, though, they still provide evidence in later episodes when Sousa is informed the woman in the photo actually has brown hair, and then sees scars on Peggy's shoulder that match those on the picture.

Women Are Delicate: Part of the sexism of the time period that prevents Peggy from getting ahead - all her male coworkers are genuinely, legitimately convinced that she must be weak and helpless and unsuitable for field work simply because she's a woman. Even some women of the time period believe this, such as the land lady who runs the building Peggy ends up staying at. This is how Dottie continually gets the jump on even trained agents: they just don't think she's capable of overpowering them.

Season 2 breaks the ice on racism with Dr. Jason Wilkes, a self-made black physicist who grew up in a poor family of Southern California farm workers and had trouble finding a job after the war since scientific laboratories were unwilling to hire a black man. Detective Henry calls him "the janitor" after their first meeting, and at one point, when he and Peggy go into a diner to use a telephone, the proprietor assumes she's in danger and calls Wilkes "boy". Wilkes makes it clear this isn't the first time it's happened:

Batman Gambit: Sousa's use of earplugs before fighting Fennhoff. It gives the bad doctor the impression that he can use his hypnotism, which allows Sousa to get close enough to punch him out.

Team Power Walk: in "The Atomic Job" to the tune of "Pistol Packin' Mama". It's all very heroic until Jarvis brushes some lint from his lapel, Samberly stumbles, Peggy asks where the car is, Jarvis apologizes and runs off to get it while the others stand around and look variously pained.

Foregone Conclusion
 Agent Carter / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: Thanks to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a few fortunate and not-so-fortunate events are inevitable, including Peggy and Stark's survival past the 40s, and HYDRA infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. from its very inception. Stark will eventually marry a woman named Maria and father Tony, the future Iron Man, before dying along with his wife in an "automobile accident" actually set up by HYDRA. Likewise, Dr. Anton Vanko — who we meet in the first episode, as a friend of Jarvis's — will ultimately be deported by Stark after attempting to profit from one of their inventions, leading to the events of Iron Man 2 where his son Ivan will go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Stark's son. And regardless of Leviathan's fate, its Black Widow program will continue for at least several more decades (and possibly even still in the present day MCU), eventually giving rise to Natasha Romanoff among its alumni.

Strictly Formula: Averted. Unlike Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which initially relied on the Monster of the Week formula, Agent Carter avoids a weekly routine in favor of constantly changing the status quo. At first the show appeared to be going in the direction of "Howard Stark's deadly invention of the week", but then it resolved the weapons subplot in the third episode to focus more on the pursuit of Leviathan itself.

Adaptational Heroism: Roger Dooley, whose comic counterpart is a creep who had She-Hulk strip searched for his own enjoyment, is portrayed here as A Father to His Men and a Reasonable Authority Figure. it doesn’t stop him using the titular character as a glorified gofer, when anyone who is not using her gender against her knows she could probably out shoot and out fight every single guy in that office. In his single comics appearance, (a "weird science" type story in Tales of Suspense #25), Jason Wilkes plans to sell his inventions to the Dirty Commies. His live action counterpart is briefly framed for this and later temporarily throws his lot in with Whitney out of desperation, but is a good guy.

In-Universe, the Captain America Adventure Hour has little interest in portraying the adventures of the titular hero accurately. Even setting aside the little detail of Cap's girlfriend on the show having nothing in common with his real girlfriend beyond a similar name, one episode of the show had him single-handedly saving units in the Pacific when he spent his entire Army career fighting HYDRA in Europe. If Cap was around to listen to that show, he'd probably be turning in his icy grave.

Judging by the reactions of the people who were lucky enough to arrive late to the aftermath, however, it was particularly horrific. We switch scenes before we can see Dottie take a dentist drill to a man's eye.

While "Dottie" is narrowly stopped from killing Peggy at the end of "A Sin to Err", Peggy is still arrested and faces interrogation by the SSR. By the end of "SNAFU", Dooley is dead after barely sparing the rest of the SSR from an explosive vest, "Dottie" gets away yet again, Ivchenko has waltzed right out of custody with a dangerous MacGuffin, and both Leviathan agents have just field-tested said MacGuffin on a movie theatre full of innocent bystanders, who promptly turned on and killed each other in an orgy of murderous rage.

AlternateCharacterInterpretation

Alternate Character Interpretation: Peggy observes In-Universe that the men of the SSR see her the way they want to see her and not as she actually is — Dooley saw her as "a stray kitten" left on his doorstep that needed sheltering, Thompson saw her as "a secretary turned damsel", etc. Basically, everyone saw her as this fragile English rose that needed protecting when in truth she is twice the badass they are — something Peggy ultimately ended up using to her advantage in her own quest to learn the truth about Howard Stark's alleged crimes, since, as she notes, everyone acts like she's "invisible" unless she's got (their) coffee, (their) lunch or reports (they asked for). Even Sousa, who came closest to respecting her abilities, saw her as "the girl on the pedestal", rather than an actual person. (And when he stops putting her on a pedestal she's "transformed into a daft whore").

Artistic License – History
 Agent Carter / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Many historical inaccuracies can be found in the show. When Peggy is crossing the street in the first episode, a train of R32 "Brightliner" cars is visible in the background... in 1946. New York did not see R32s in their subway lines until 1964. When the SSR goes through fake passports with combined movie director names, the stack includes "Federico Rossellini" as one of the names. Roberto might have been notable enough for a European to include him as an alias, but it'd be at least a year from the presumed setting for Fellini to be on enough radars to be on a non-Italian's fake passport. The battle of Finow is said to have been fought in "spring 1944" in Germany between German and Soviet forces. This is several months before the first Red Army troops actually entered Germany. In "The Iron Ceiling" Dooley makes a reference to the Vice President of the United States calling him for updates. There was no Vice President in 1946—Truman had succeeded to the White House in 1945 and, since the 25th Amendment did not exist, the post remained vacant until the next election and Alben Barkley's swearing-in in 1949. Also in "The Iron Ceiling", the "Black Widow" trainees are shown learning to speak English from watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. That movie first premiered to a limited audience on December 21, 1937 (It was not released for general distribution until February 1938). It seems unlikely that the Russians would be able to acquire the movie, approve it for use as a training tool, and get it ready for said use in a matter of ten days. In-Universe, the Captain America Adventure Hour has little interest in portraying the adventures of the titular hero accurately. Even setting aside the little detail of Cap's girlfriend on the show having nothing in common with his real girlfriend beyond a similar name, one episode of the show had him single-handedly saving units in the Pacific when he spent his entire Army career fighting HYDRA in Europe. If Cap was around to listen to that show, he'd probably be turning in his icy grave. The periodic tables in the series' various labs have 15 or so elements too many. They are so modern that they feature copernicum (Cn), which was only given a symbol in 2010, whereas a periodic table from 1946 wouldn't even have plutonium.

Hate Plague: The elusive "Item 017" turns out to be canisters of gas that can cause an extreme version of this, where people kill each other in fits of homicidal rage. Once the villains get their hands on this they deploy it in a theater to test its effectiveness, as it has been in storage for a while.

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames
 Agent Carter / int_627589a7
comment
Comic Book Movies Dont Use Code Names: Although the advertising for the episode called the Russian Child Soldier group "the Black Widow program", it is never referred to as such in the episode itself. Averted with the Howling Commandos. Ramirez excitedly calls them that, though Sawyer hates the name, despite fellow teammate Pinky thinking it up. Each member of the Commandos has their own codename, including "Dum Dum", "Happy", "Pinky", and "Junior". Dugan even offers to give Peggy her own codename, "Miss Union Jack". In real life Peggy never refers to Steve as Captain America but her fictionalized counterpart, in the Show Within a Show, Betty only ever refers to Cap as "Captain America." Johann Fennhoff goes by his real name or Dr. Ivchenko, never "Doctor Faustus".

Idiot Ball
 Agent Carter / int_7286e96d
comment
Idiot Ball: In Episode 4, Howard Stark himself admits he had no good reason to lie about Steve Rogers' blood, blaming it on his own pathological tendencies formed from clawing his way to the top. In Episode 6, the SSR has returned from a Russian facility that brainwashes little girls with a psychiatrist from said facility. Do they consider that he might be a mole and take security measures? No, they give him full run of their headquarters (albeit while supervised). In Episode 7, Dooley is warned that Dr. Ivchenko shouldn't be trusted and decides to take that advice. Pretty smart. Not so smart is still staying alone with the guy in his office, raised suspicion or not... Also from Episode 7, we have highly trained agent Sousa forgetting that an enemy can see your shadow if you stand in front of a light source. Though to be fair, Dottie did too, only a scene or two before he did. Episode 8 has several examples: Sousa again, while investigating the theater's crime scene pointed the hate gas canister directly to his face and got hit with a dose of it. To be fair, neither Sousa or the other agents know about the hate gas. At this point of the story, no SSR agent in the field knows exactly what item 17 is, or even that it comes in a canister. If the low lighting in the theatre kept Sousa from seeing the 'Stark Industries' logo, he might even have thought it was a WWII style water bottle. Peggy completely squanders getting the drop on Fennhoff and Dottie with a shotgun, telling them to surrender rather than just shooting them before they even know she's there, presumably not to risk blasting the radio they were standing right next to. Whoever made the decision to lock up a Soviet spy with a Compelling Voice with a Nazi Mad Scientist isn't very intelligent.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Agent Carter / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Peggy delivers a pretty effective one to her colleagues in episode seven, "SNAFU", saying, basically, that she had to conduct her own investigation because everyone thought she was worthless and that she was able to do so because everyone, as a result, ignored her. Sousa, who had some respect for her from the beginning, and Thompson, who learned to respect her in Europe, both look distinctly uncomfortable. And to Howard Stark in "The Blitzkrieg Button". It causes Howard to risk coming out of hiding to prove otherwise.

Entertainingly Wrong: Between their blatant biases (such as about Stark's guilt and Peggy's competence) and just not having all the facts, the SSR often jumps to the wrong conclusions. Combined with the parts they get right and their rather effective following of the leads they do have, this winds up causing a lot of trouble for Peggy.

Reality Is Unrealistic: The show's depiction of sexism seems over-the-top by today's standards, but Agent Carter takes place well before the women's liberation movement and at a time when traditionalist attitudes toward a woman's "place" actually were that common. As happened to Colleen in the first episode, the prevailing attitude was that the ladies did their part while the men were at war, but once the war was over, they were expected to go back to their proper "sphere" as wives and mothers, as though the war never happened. And most women Peggy's age, if they weren't stay at home wives and mothers, were either secretaries, teachers, waitresses or nurses.

Black-and-Gray Morality: Other than Carter herself, the SSR folks are by-and-large chauvinistic Inspector Javerts who will often use ethically questionable tactics when questioning witnesses; meanwhile, Howard Stark and Jarvis will often keep secrets from others, including Peggy. On the other hand, the Leviathan organization is clearly, unambiguously evil (or at least the worst possible depiction of a Soviet agency), but its leader turns out to have moralistic motives behind their murders.

Origin Story: Set before S.H.I.E.L.D. was officially formed. We see the origins of Black Widow as well. Turns out Russia had a training program for girls as young as nine to turn them into agents/assassins as far back as the 1930s.

Took a Level in Jerkass: Howard tells Peggy that one of his confiscated weapons could black out a city for years, and only he can disarm it. It's actually a vial of Steve's blood (the last in existence) disguised in a sphere. Peggy is furious when she finds out Howard lied to her.

Parenthetical Swearing: When Thompson tells Carter to file some reports because she's much better at that kind of thing than he is, Peggy responds, "What kind of thing is that, Agent Thompson, the alphabet? I could teach you. Let's start with words that begin with 'A'." At her diner Angie is yelled by a rude customer who is apparently a regular. She tells Peggy that during her work hours she's not allowed to say exactly what she'd like to call him.

"A Sin to Err," in which the entire SSR turn against Peggy, Ivchenko is revealed to be The Mole, Dottie starts making attempts on Peggy's life, and Dottie is revealed to be the hidden killer.

Replaced with Replica: Peggy Carter is told by Stark to steal a superweapon called "The Blitzkrieg Button" from a lab and replace it with a fake, before the scientists examining it activate it by accident. However, it turns out the real one was not a weapon either, but a container for something more valuable that Stark wants back without anyone knowing.

Children Are Innocent: Peggy is a firm believer of this, even stopping Dum Dum from killing a child with a hand grenade, even after said child is shown to be a cold-blooded assassin who killed one of the Howling Commandos and later shoots one of the SSR agents in the back. Then again, a grenade would have alerted every single guard in the base to their presence.

comment
Evil Counterpart: In season one, Dottie is this for Peggy. Both she and Peggy are secret agents, as well as skilled Action Girls. They both use other people's underestimations of their skill to their advantage. Peggy does this by using her coworkers' sexist assumptions about her abilities while Dottie does this by Obfuscating Stupidity and acting like a ditzy Country Mouse. Both are capable of flawless American Accents when undercover. They are also both Only Known by Their Nickname. But they use different fighting styles, with Dottie relying on She-Fu acrobatics, whereas Peggy relies on her fists, Improvised Weapons, and brute force. Additionally, Peggy chose to become a secret agent, while Dottie was Brainwashed into becoming a Child Soldier at a young age by her Russian trainers. In season two, Whitney Frost. Like Peggy, her mother discouraged her unladylike talents and people don't take her seriously, which she sometimes takes advantage of to manipulate them. While Peggy is a physical fighter, Whitney is a scientist and uses hired thugs. Whitney also recognizes Peggy as being very similar to her, insisting she be targeted before she creates too many problems for them.

Feminist Fantasy: It's the first MCU production with a female lead, and makes a point of the era's sexism. One of the commercials even advertised it as another entry in ABC's tradition of Strong Female Characters like Sidney Bristow and Olivia Pope. This is perhaps best represented by it passing just about every major test involving portraying female characters in a positive way in the first episode.

Mood Whiplash: Peggy walks in on a bunch of SSR agents arguing over which angle they should view the nightclub photos (a couple of which show her carrying out one of her unsanctioned missions) from. Just as she worries that she's about to be busted, they call her over... to ask whether she thinks that an unrelated man in the photo is star baseball player Joe DiMaggio. During a tense scene in which Peggy is trying to open the drawer those photos are kept in without being noticed, the phone startles her and she bangs her head on the table. While Ivchenko is running free at the SSR and planning something sinister with Chief Dooley, Peggy and Jarvis are locked in the interrogation room and comedically bickering over how to smash a mirror to effect their escape.

Ascended Extra: In the comics, Peggy Carter was little more than a Satellite Love Interest to Captain America. Then she gained a major role in Captain America: The First Avenger, and now the star of her own series. Adding to that, the same could said about the one shot; it was solely created to bridge what happened to Peggy after the war, but the fanbase loved the one shot so much they wanted to see more about Peggy Carter and her involvement in the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is Played for Drama because she's been trying to prove her worth, only to end up reinforcing Dooley's belief that a woman can't make a good SSR agent. Dottie Underwood plays the trope straight by acting The Ditz.

Living Out a Childhood Dream: In the Flashback Episode "Smoke & Mirrors," young Peggy Carter dreamed of adventure and saving people, but was discouraged by her mother's wanting her to be a lady. By the time she was 19, Peggy had become a code breaker engaged to a man in her office and given up her dreams. She even initially turns down the offer to join the SOE as a field agent because it wouldn't be proper for her, despite her older brother Michael's encouragement. It isn't until she gets news of Michael's death in the war that she decides to realize her dream and take the position that would lead her to become Agent Carter.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Agent Carter / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: While First Avenger had some brief cases of period racism and sexism, they were generally downplayed in favor of a nostalgic past. Here, though, it's made clear that the 40s had plenty of backwards ethics. Casual sexism abounds, especially at Peggy's and Angie's workplaces. Highlighted in the second episode in the contrast between Peggy's asskicking and the recurring radio soap about the adventures of Captain America, where "Betty Carver" is a nurse and generic Damsel in Distress. SSR agents have absolutely no problem beating the crap out of a suspect when he won't cooperate. Jarvis once risked jail time and a charge of treason for helping a Jewish woman (his future wife, Anna, in fact) escape Europe. It involved illegal forgery of official government papers. "The Blitzkrieg Button": Howard Stark points out that he grew up in a world filled with economic, class, religious, and gender discrimination. Thompson straight up asks Peggy why she stays with the SSR, because no man will ever see her as an equal. He even tells her that she's upsetting the natural order of things. He's not entirely wrong, but pretty darn close. "The Iron Ceiling": Peggy butts heads to get on the mission to Russia, explaining her fluency in everything Russian (both tactically and linguistically) because she lived through it for three years during the war, and she receives nothing but complaints and condescension until the chief lets her go on the mission. The men on the SSR field team, including Thompson, finally begin changing their tune when Dum Dum Dugan — who they regard with awe for his service alongside Captain America in WWII — and the other Howling Commandos readily defer to Peggy's decisions, with Dugan pointing out that she served with Cap longer than any of them. Season 2 breaks the ice on racism with Dr. Jason Wilkes, a self-made black physicist who grew up in a poor family of Southern California farm workers and had trouble finding a job after the war since scientific laboratories were unwilling to hire a black man. Detective Henry calls him "the janitor" after their first meeting, and at one point, when he and Peggy go into a diner to use a telephone, the proprietor assumes she's in danger and calls Wilkes "boy". Wilkes makes it clear this isn't the first time it's happened: Sousa also refers to black people as "colored", but it's pure semantics, since Sousa is one of the nicest and most progressive characters in the show. Colored was actually the polite way to refer to black people in The '40s, but by modern standards is considered racist or at least archaic.

 Agent Carter / int_abc28948

Straw Misogynist: Among the men, there's only really Howard, Jarvis, Sousa and Jason Wilkes who don't fit this description. Played with when Thompson actually points out in "The Blitzkrieg Button" that men won't respect Peggy because she's a woman. He's not entirely wrong, but pretty close, given the era. He's even slightly sympathetic toward her — he agrees that she's treated unfairly, but he points out she's upsetting the natural order of things by expecting equal treatment. Also played with in that it's not just men but women too that sometimes treat independent women with scorn, such as Miriam Fry, who subscribes to the philosophy of "young women are delicate flowers to be shielded from temptation".

Madonna-Whore Complex: Seems to be a dominant mindset, to varying degrees, amongst Peggy's sexist colleagues at the SSR. Even extends to the Griffith's owner-operator, Miriam Fry, who sees young women's "purity" as paramount, to the point of publicly Slut-Shaming and evicting any tenants who dare to have men as guests.

Hypocritical Humor: Jarvis threatens to shoot Leet Brannis — who’s driving the milk truck Peggy is fighting on top of — if he doesn’t pull over. Seconds later Peggy uses her attacker’s gun to shoot down into the truck, nearly clipping Jarvis. As Peggy steals food at lunch to give to Howard, she sees Angie approaching and tries to hide her stolen food. Angie doesn't notice, but then she and the other girls immediately start boasting about all the ways they know to steal food, even difficult to hide entrees like a whole chicken or gravy. When they offer to help Peggy take some, Peggy denies that she has any interest in stealing.

As he's leaving, Dooley pops the watch open again in the presence of a guard and offers the guard a breath mint.

Waif-Fu: While not exactly a "waif" Carter is remarkably good at tossing around men twice her size, though she struggles sometimes. At one point, she even tosses a man out a window. In a less common example of the trope, her fighting style is much less about fancy acrobatics, and much more about repeatedly hitting people until they fall down. A more straight example are Dottie and the other girls from the Black Widow program.

No Off Button: Howard Stark invented a heated jacket for use in subzero temperatures. Unfortunately, it is powered by a chemical reaction that is very hard to stop. Even worse, once the jacket operates for a few minutes, the clasps holding it shut start fusing together which makes it impossible to remove the jacket before the reaction reaches a critical point and the entire apparatus explodes. Howard abandoned the project but kept the prototype in storage. When the bad guys steal it, they use it as a bomb.

Good Cop/Bad Cop: After a crooked Roxxon employee is nabbed, Agents Dooley and Thompson interrogate him and take on the respective roles. Dooley shows the crook a carrot and a stick, and offers him the lighter "carrot" deal where the crook spills the name of his boss and thus gets off easy. When the crook refuses, Dooley takes the carrot and leaves... and Thompson takes over, makes the crook bite down on the stick, and promptly starts beating him black and blue to confess, breaking the stick in half in the process. One of the other agents quips that he'd hate to see what would've happened if Dooley had left the carrot.

Show Within a Show: An in-universe Captain America pulp radio show is popular at the time of the series, and Peggy runs into it people listening to it a few times. It's about as cheesy as radio dramas got back then, and features a heavily insulting version of Peggy herself (named "Betty Carver") as a helpless Damsel in Distress who never shuts up about how manly Captain America is. Peggy can be seen giving a radio playing it an intense Death Glare at the start of the second episode.

"A Sin to Err" ends with Peggy's colleagues finally not treating her any differently because she's a woman, just like she's wanted the whole series... after she's been arrested and they're about to interrogate her for working with Stark.

Hope Spot: "The Iron Ceiling" has Peggy finally go on a mission, get to hang out with friends, and finally get some respect from her fellow coworkers as she deserves. Then Sousa discovers evidence that she's a double agent, and in the next episode she's hunted and branded as a traitor. "A Sin to Err": Angie magnificently distracts the SSR agents looking for Peggy by using their own sexism (and helplessness in the face of women crying) against them, and it seems like Peggy is in the clear. Then, she runs into Dottie in the hallway, who uses Peggy's own knockout lipstick against her. The SSR agents interrupt her before she can kill Peggy, but it allows them to capture Peggy and Dottie to get away scot free. Also in "A Sin to Err", Sousa interrupts Fennhoff's first attempt to hypnotize Dooley into being his unwilling puppet. The very next episode, Fennhoff succeeds perfectly, and in the process steals a dangerous MacGuffin from the SSR labs, strolls away a free man, and leaves Dooley to die from an exploding vest.

Shout-Out: Angie performs a brief monologue from A Doll's House in "A Sin To Err". Dooley also name drops King Kong. In the first season, the name of the dairy company that Peggy Carter investigates at one point is "Daisy Clover", from the 1965 film Inside Daisy Clover with Natalie Wood and Robert Redford. invokedWord of God says that Ovechkin, the Russian private seen in the flashback in "SNAFU", is a reference to hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. Interestingly enough, with the knowledge that "Ivchenko" is actually an alias, Dr. Fennhoff may have intentionally chosen it as an anagram for the soldier's name. Howard Stark and Whitney Frost are nods to Howard Hughes and Hedy Lamarr, respectively. At one point, Dooley tells Jarvis that the truth is a three edged sword, your side, their side, and the facts.

Slut-Shaming
 Agent Carter / int_c972d624
comment
Slut-Shaming: Peggy is mocked for being Captain America's "liaison" though they were barely planning their first date when he "died", and some of her coworkers are convinced that she was sleeping around with other men for her position. Worth noting here that Peggy was in a position of authority with the SSR before Steve finally got himself enlisted (she was his instructor in Basic Training), and there's absolutely no evidence she got there through any means other than her own merit. The men of the SSR simply can't imagine any way for a woman to succeed unless it's on a man's coattails. Peggy's landlady takes her "no male visitors" rule very seriously. When a tenant violates it, she evicts her in front of all the other residents at breakfast. When interviewing Howard Stark's exes, one of them exclaims that any woman who sleeps around as much as he does would be called a floozy. When the SSR finds out that Peggy has been working with Howard, Dooley, Thompson and Sousa assume it's because Peggy was sleeping with him. Jarvis anticipates that assumption and uses it in his fake confession letter. This goes back to Never a Self-Made Woman — the SSR never even considers the idea that Peggy was investigating on her own because she believes Howard, her friend from the war, is innocent, or even that, for example, he promised her money to help him. The only possible reason they can come up with for a woman taking the kind of initiative Peggy does is to please the man she's sleeping with.

Signature Headgear: Carter wears a bright red Stetson Aviatrix at the start of the first episode. It's prominently featured on the posters, and is pretty much a required component of any Peggy Carter cosplay. During the first seaosn finale she sports a blue version during Howard's hallucination of her holding Steve's shield. Invoked in the second season premiere when we see a woman in a red hat and blue pantsuit walking with purpose. We assume it's Peggy, only to find out it's her Arch-Enemy Dottie Underwood robbing a bank.

No Periods, Period: An Averted Trope in an invoked example. Knowing how sexist her coworkers are, Peggy uses "ladies' matters" as an excuse to have a sick day from work. This does allow her to leave without them questioning what would probably be suspicious activity.

Fake Guest Star: Both Lyndsy Fonseca (Angie) and Bridget Regan (Dottie) only missed two episodes in the first season, yet they weren't included in the main cast list. The second season goes even farther, with the official main cast being limited to returning people. The new ones are all considered "Recurring" at best, even though a few of them (Wynn Everett as Whitney Frost and Reggie Austin as Jason Wilkes) appear in every single episode, making them more prominent than "Main" Chad Michael Murray (Jack Thompson).

Battle Butler: Jarvis is well and truly capable of assisting Mr.Stark when it comes to mixing drinks as well as underworld dealings and investigation. Howard loans him to Peggy in the pilot. The second season reveals that he's studied boxing, judo and fencing, apparently in hopes of being useful in another adventure. He's certainly not as hardened or skilled in a fight as most examples of this trope, but he does come through when it counts. Even one of the telephone switchboard girls of the SSR is shown to have a pistol hidden under her desk.

Continuity Snarl: The flashback of Agent Carter action scenes at the beginning of the first episode includes some scenes from the Agent Carter Marvel One-Shot. However, the One Shot has been said to take place after this series, which would mean its clips Peggy flashbacked to were from the future... It should also be noted that season 2 is said to take place in 1947 and shows that Peggy is still working for the SSR. However, the one-shot is said to take place a year after the events of The First Avenger (1946) and shows Peggy leaving the SSR to start up S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Howard Stark.

Made of Explodium: Molecular Nitramine, one of Howard Stark's "bad babies" that is compared in power to the A-bomb. One grenade's worth of nitramine (coupled with a storage of a few dozen more such grenades) is enough to blow up an entire refinery in an enormous explosion, then implode it into a ball about three feet in radius. So just think what a full-size bomb's worth would do.

Call-Forward: In "Time and Tide", Jarvis mentions an incident in Budapest. There are two references to Iron Man 2. In the first episode Howard Stark is Hauled Before A Senate Subcommittee regarding his weapons. In the last one he attends a press conference where he's praised as a hero by a government official who hates his guts. Jarvis says he has no desire to spend the rest of his life as a disembodied voice, foreshadowing J.A.R.V.I.S. from the Iron Man films. Dottie says she might become an SSR agent next. This is a reference to Black Widow doing the same. She also seduces Howard Stark for information like Black Widow did to Tony Stark in the comics. Sousa strikes upon a method of dealing with Dr. Ivchenko's Compelling Voice, by plugging his ears and pretending to be under his control, would be copied 70 years later by Trish Walker.

Never a Self-Made Woman
 Agent Carter / int_efc1d647
comment
When the SSR finds out that Peggy has been working with Howard, Dooley, Thompson and Sousa assume it's because Peggy was sleeping with him. Jarvis anticipates that assumption and uses it in his fake confession letter. This goes back to Never a Self-Made Woman — the SSR never even considers the idea that Peggy was investigating on her own because she believes Howard, her friend from the war, is innocent, or even that, for example, he promised her money to help him. The only possible reason they can come up with for a woman taking the kind of initiative Peggy does is to please the man she's sleeping with.

Also, the relationship between Carter and Jarvis is such that one could easily imagine them becoming a Battle Couple...

Platonic Life-Partners: Peggy is one of the few women Howard Stark doesn't actively hit on and their dialogue indicates that he firmly considers her to be a friend. Although she claims he tried to kiss her on V-E Day and she made their boundaries clear by throwing him into the River Thames, she told that story to Agent Sousa to convince him that Howard doesn't like boats knowing quite well he made his getaway on a boat. Given how she clearly still feels about Steve, it's clear her willingness to risk being charged with treason to help him is an indication of this trope on her part, and given how Steve felt about her, we can guess Howard's intentions as well.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Agent Carter / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Peggy was a highly talented field agent for the SSR, and had been since before she ever met Steve Rogers, and yet one year after the war is over, most of her coworkers treat her like a secretary who only got into the SSR by being Captain America's girlfriend. Worse, some even speculate that it wasn't just Cap she was sleeping with for her position. She finally gets her respect in the fifth episode from Thompson and the SSR when she shows her skills in the field and how much the Howling Commandos respect her, leading to her colleagues finally accepting her as one of their own. This is also when Sousa realizes that she's the mysterious blonde woman he's been chasing. Howard Stark was one of the key figures in the SSR during the war, and was partially responsible for the creation of Captain America in the first place, and yet Peggy is the only person in the SSR who appears to even be considering the possibility that he might not be a traitor. Samberly repeatedly accuses field agents of not giving lab techs like he the respect they deserve. He has a point, at first, but his protests become so petty that it eventually becomes clear that he's just a complainer.

Have a Gay Old Time: Season 2 introduces some antiquated Forties lingo. Sousa calls Detective Henry a "homicide dick" (slang for detective) and also refers to black people as "colored", the politically-correct term for the day.

comment
Foe Romance Subtext: Over the course of the series, Dottie becomes quite obsessed with Peggy; in the season two premiere Dottie has gone so far to dye her hair brown and copy Peggy's red hat and blue jack look, she's very excited at the prospect of being interrogated by Peggy, spends the short-lived session looking at and speaking to her in a flirtatious manner, and is visibly crushed when Jack takes over.

MacGyvering: Jarvis tells Carter that in order to defuse a nitromene explosive, it has to be sprayed with a compound made from a variety of chemicals, but he doesn't know how she's going to find them on short notice in the middle of the night. She figures out that the chemicals are all ingredients of various things she has at home, and so is able to make the necessary compound from the contents of her makeup cabinet, some cleaning supplies, and a bottle of whiskey.

Dottie says she might become an SSR agent next. This is a reference to Black Widow doing the same. She also seduces Howard Stark for information like Black Widow did to Tony Stark in the comics.

comment
Brick Joke: It's an open secret that Krzeminski cheats on his wife, and when he tries to get a night off to take "[his] girl" to a movie, Carter asks if he's taking his wife or his girlfriend. When he's killed, Chief Dooley goes to call his wife. Thompson says he'll call his girlfriend. In the Season 1 finale, after a long string of incorrect guesses, Howard finally remembers that "Dottie" was calling herself "Ida" during their one-night stand... well after that information was worth anything.

comment
Cut Short: In the wake of the show's Cancellation, several plot threads are left at least partially unresolved, including who shot Jack, why, and if he survived; the full potential and implications of Zero Matter; Dottie still at large; the mystery of the Arena Club pin; if Daniel Sousa is in fact Peggy's future husband; what was in the M. Carter file (and which Carter it referred to); and perhaps most importantly of all, the actual founding of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Shown Their Work
 Agent Carter / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Peggy being a 40s Action Girl follows the example of many real life female WWII agents, as does them having their jobs being taken after the war as the male veterans came home. Much of the slang is period appropriate. For instance, Fazekas noted in an interview that she avoided adding the term "smart ass" since it didn't come about until the 60s but she did include "yanking your chain", finding it dated back to the mining era. While a retro diner is a classic setting for the 40s and 50s, this show mixes it up a little by showing an automat instead. Peggy's lock-picking-watch is a possibility for a real life spy gadget, as it could be based on a magnetic autodialer. When sneaking into the Roxxon refinery, Peggy demonstrates the correct way to scale an electric fence: jumping onto it, climbing over, then jumping off; never touching the ground and the fence at the same time. "Green Suit"'s typewriter that can be used to communicate with his superiors appears to be based on a teleprinter. The Captain America radio show has elements of real 40s ones, including in-character commercials and using meat slabs and lobsters for sound effects. The Griffith Hotel, where Peggy stays, is based on the Barbizon Hotel. Like the Griffith it was a hotel exclusively for women (until 1981) and allowed no men above the first floor. The Griffith even occupies the same address, 63rd Street & Lexington Ave. Jarvis pays a pair of goons in $50,000 in $1000 dollar bills, with the crook expressing disbelief that they really exist. $1000 bills were real, but rare because they ceased being printed after 1945. While the extent of the hypnosis is exaggerated (as far as we know, a real hypnotist cannot entrance an unwilling person nor get them to kill themselves), Dr. Fennhoff's/"Ivchenko"'s methods are actually fairly plausible. As shown by this video, his tactics mirror real methods to keep up a trance, including befriending the subject, keeping them in a good mood, and not demanding that they do something they show reluctance to. Him making them imagine an illusionary memory is also a real trick; a talented hypnotist can make the subject relive memories or even imagine a bedroom is an island out in the ocean. The entranced subjects also show mild signs of awareness and occasionally discomfort, which also reflect real life subjects who can override orders that feel out of character.

Fauxshadow: The second half of the second season spends a lot of time foreshadowing the death of Jarvis thanks to his Thrill Seeker status making him throw himself into Peggy's work. Instead, the season ends with his wife, Ana, having been severely injured and no longer able to have children.

Death Seeker: Jarvis implies that Peggy has a death wish and this is why she takes so many risks and refuses any and all effort at help or association.
