a5c7b9f00b A year after Captain America was lost in action, the war is over. However, Agent Peggy Carter is relegated to a desk job and frustrated at her male boss and comrades&#39; sexist dismissal of her place in the SSR. Ordered to work late one night, Carter gets an alert that the villain, Zodiac, has been spotted. Deciding to take care of it herself, Carter is ready to show the enemies of peace why meeting this Agent 13 is bad luck for them. Frustrated at being marginalized at work, Peggy Carter goes on an unauthorized solo field mission. I haven&#39;t gotten round to watching the Agent Carter television series yet and truth be told have rather low expectations for it. This Marvel One-Shot has done nothing to change this.<br/><br/>While the male agents leave her behind to wrap things up Agent Peggy Carter gets a call about a case and decides to break protocol to go it alone. <br/><br/>Featuring the always excellent Bradley Whitfordher less than bareable boss and Dominic CooperHoward Stark this is a distinctly average short and a bit of a weak link in Marvels almost flawless chain.<br/><br/>Atwell is uninspired, the plot is generic and though it solidly feels like an addition to the incredible marvel universe it brings nothing note worthy to it.<br/><br/>The Good:<br/><br/>Bradley Whitford<br/><br/>Continuity<br/><br/>The Bad:<br/><br/>Instantly forgettable stuff<br/><br/>Things I Learnt From This Short:<br/><br/>I&#39;m really not going to like Agent Carter am I? This is a great one shot that Marvel made with a beloved character. The writing is solid for the 10ish minutes that it is and the action is spectacular too. <br/><br/>Atwell portrays Carter with such confidence that it is hard to deny she is a capable agent. It is nice to see Stark too, keeping up with continuity that he was one of the founders of Shield.<br/><br/>In light of continuity, it is hard to gauge when this one shot takes place or if it is even canon after all. It could take place after season 2 of Agent Carter but it is hard to tell.<br/><br/>+ Atwell + Writing and action + Stark and Shield - Hard to tell where in the timeline this exists, or if it even does<br/><br/>Final Score: 8.8/10
