    Peggy was a highly trained agent/spy and at full strength, whereas Steve was 90 pounds and had a laundry list of health issues. He could barely do a push-up before he got the serum, so it makes sense that Peggy would be a stronger super-soldier.
    And Hydra took the Tesseract from the suit when they captured Steve. Howard Stark was able to make it the power source because the SSR got the Tesseract so early in the war.
    Also, congrats! I'm happy for you, man.

    • @cheeseninja1115

      what's also interesting is it looks like the power coupling the suit is hooked up to in the hydra castle looks like a prototype arc reactor of some kind, which explains why it powered the suit and for only a short time. Guess with the switched Tesseract the power sources for both sides switched as well due to the needs.

      Erskine’s serum re-writes the users dna to human perfection and pushes them to the peak of human potential. Everyone has the same end point regardless of where you start physically. This is just what a Erskine super solider looks like when it’s not live action as she’s doing the same type of feats Cap does in the comics.

    The issue with Steve being the Winter Soldier instead of Bucky is that when Steve saved Bucky in the movie he had already been experimented on which is how he survived the floor where as Steve never had that in this. Also I think there will be a trend in the episodes where some of the prominent characters will be chosen for a crossover series given the fact that Uatu mentioned Peggy was a new hero for the multiverse….

    I think she actually might be stronger than Steve tbh. Since she was already both exceptionally trained in hand to hand combat, AND was in perfect health before the serum (unlike Steve.) Steve was just the best man that a man can be at heart. The fact that he even holds a candle to any other super soldier is both a miracle, and also probably due to the fact that the original serum seemed to beef people up way more than any other iteration afterwards did.

    I thought I missed something with the Tesseract suddenly being back with Hydra too, but it was because it was inside Steve's Iron Man suit, which they recovered. It wasn't made entirely clear that it was inside the suit to begin with.

    • @stagger22
      @stagger22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      it was pretty heavily hinted at, it went from Stark saying he knew exactly what to do with it, to showing him working on something huge that was obscured and asking Steve if he was ready to join the war effort. Then he shows up in the suit in the rescue scene and the color/energy from the suit being the same color as the tesseract

    Small correction, A.C. Bradley is a woman (She's the showrunner for Trollhunters and 3Below), The Watcher here is Uatu (Ooo-Aut-too), his race was in GOTG2, but this is first MCU appearance, and there are 9 episodes.
    It might just be animation just making her actions more dynamic, but Peggy was already trained and in better shape, plus a good person, so wham, Peggy is a One Woman Army.
    The artstyle your describing is "Cell Shaded", it adds a flair to a CG render that probably would need it.
    The team confirmed we're getting more Captain Carter episodes in the future seasons, and maybe appearances in live action, but hey, "Who's to say?"

      Her physical condition prior would have no effect since the serum re-writes the users dna and pushed them to the same peak.
      Erskine’s serum also gives the user enhanced senses and augments their brain functions. Thus, Steve can learn and master any fighting style or weapon in moments (see Mjolnir). So, any skill Peggy has would be irrelevant. Her performance in the animation is the same as Cap in the comics.

    Hey Holden,
    You probably won't read this, but you'll never know.
    I have some shows that I think you and Jen will really enjoy.
    - Marvel's Agents of Shield (technically not cannon, but still has some cool stuff with some connections to the MCU like the kraken in this episode)
    - Avatar The Last Airbender (great story, great visuals and also some great character development)
    - Chuck (a little bit more casual then most MCU stuff, but still very fun to watch. With loads of action, but also moments of awkwardness and romance)
    For who agrees, please upvote so that Holden may be able to see these sugestions.

    I was confused too as to how Hydra got the Tesseract back. Because they have only 30 minutes to tell a two hour story, many plot points were rushed. But to answer your question Stark put the Tesseract into the Hydra Stomper to power it. When the train exploded hydra must have come back later to check the wreckage and grabbed the suit and took the Tesseract from it.

    I think the episodes needed to be longer to flesh things out. I also think everybody thought Steve was gonna be Winter Soldier after the train sequence. I thought that, too, and seen tons of comments elsewhere. I also like the fact that it isn't really "What if Peggy Carter took the Super Soldier Serum" but rather "What if Peggy Carter stayed downstairs" and how drastically that changed things. But I really liked this first episode and hear it's actually the weakest. So I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

      Her physical condition prior would have no effect since the serum re-writes the users dna and pushed them to the same peak.

      The Erskine quote is “The serum amplifies everything that is inside so, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse.” Implication being that a good person with power is capable of great things, and a bad person with power is capable of worse....he literally even says it’s about “the man” - who you are in your heart...which was also the entire subplot in F&TWS; “Power...just makes a person more themselves, right?” It never meant if you could draw, now you can draw better.
      And no, the serum doesn’t make them gods, it makes them superhuman. Genetic perfection pushed to the absolute peak of human potential and the next step in evolution. Their on a whole different playing field, with entirely different rules.

    I agree that Steve as the Winter Soldier is a super interesting What If inversion, but I think it doesn't work here not just because of time constraints (though that too) but also because this is Peggy's "What If" and it robs us of the more relevant inversion of the plane/portal sacrifice at the end. What I do like about the train scene is that in mirroring the scene from the movie it highlights the importance of the Steve/Bucky relationship in retrospect (as you can see in Jen's reaction here).

    I think the power "disparity" is because (just an opinion) the serum maybe had to compensate for all of "little" Steve's disabilities as well as making him stronger plus Steve had to be trained in combat, grow into and realize his strengths in a new body (in many aspects) whereas Peggy already had the combat training, the mental and physical training of a soldier, 'normal' height and physical attributes, and didn't (on record) have any disabilities ie; asthma, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, sinusitis, heart palpitations, nervous trouble, bone/joint/other deformitysc (canonically) like Steve had.
    By the way, they got the tesseract back because it was in Steve's suit. That's why he needed to charge up afterward, he had no power source.
