Go back over your notes from the screening, and think about the following:

  • How is the character configured in each of the separate artefacts? i.e. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011 feature film), One Shot: Agent Carter (short film), Marvel’s Agent Carter (TV show)
  • Hero’s journey – in what ways does Peggy Carter’s story adhere to Campbell’s notion of the hero’s journey? How does Carter’s story differ, and why?
  • Pushing off points both in the ‘Carterverse’, but also in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
  • Gender roles – think of representations of women in other platforms, stories, universes. What tropes, conventions, stereotypes, are plugged into? What does the MCU do differently? How are those conventions subverted?
  • Think about the way this would have been planned – both as part of the MCU, but also in terms of character
  • Look up budgets, development, see how it was all put together

Your notes from the screening, plus this activity, should form at least one of your blog posts for this week
