History Series / AgentCarter

* PowerWalk: 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.
--> '''Jarvis:''' Oh! Sorry. I had to park around the corner -- street cleaning. Back in a jiffy.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In order to get a vantage point for sniping, [[spoiler:Dottie]] goes to a dentist's office under the pretext of a job interview. The Dentist is a sleazy creep who seems to have been planning to [[CastingCouch persuade her to have sex with him in order to get the job]] and perhaps would have outright tried to assault her, given that the "interview" was being conducted in an empty office at the end of the day. [[spoiler:Dottie]] was definitely planning on killing him from the outset, but his behavior may have played a role in the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath manner in which she killed him]].

** Roger Dooley, whose comic counterpart is a creep who had ComicBook/SheHulk strip searched for his own enjoyment, is portrayed here as AFatherToHisMen and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Peggy observes InUniverse 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 coffee or reports. 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").

* FiveManBand:
** The main SSR agents in Season 1:
*** TheLeader: Chief Roger Dooley
*** TheLancer: Jack Thompson, Dooley's NumberTwo.
*** TheSmartGuy: Daniel Sousa, who is more capable of deduction than the other two.
*** TheBigGuy: Ray Krzmienski, a dim but strong agent.
*** TheHeart: Peggy Carter, who is more capable than the rest of the other agents but treated like a secretary.
** Season 2 gives us a band in Peggy's team:
*** Peggy is TheLeader.
*** Wilkes is TheSmartGuy.
*** Jarvis is TheLancer.
*** Sousa is TheBigGuy.
*** And Ana is TheHeart.

** Sousa strikes upon a method of dealing with Dr. Ivchenko's CompellingVoice, by plugging his ears and pretending to be under his control, would be copied [[Series/JessicaJones 70 years]] later by Trish Walker.

*** TheChick: Peggy Carter, who is more capable than the rest of the other agents but treated like a secretary.

*** And Ana is TheChick.

* FantasticNuke: Nitramene, it has a blast radius of 500 yards after which it creates a vacuum that causes an implosion as matter rushes to fill the void that it has created.

* FiveManBand: The main SSR agents in Season 1:
** TheLeader: Chief Roger Dooley
** TheLancer: Jack Thompson, Dooley's NumberTwo.
** TheSmartGuy: Daniel Sousa, who is more capable of deduction than the other two.
** TheBigGuy: Ray Krzmienski, a dim but strong agent.
** TheChick: Peggy Carter, who is more capable than the rest of the other agents but treated like a secretary.

** In his single comics appearance, (a "weird science" type story in ''Tales of Suspense'' #25), Jason Wilkes plans to sell his inventions to the DirtyCommies. His live action counterpart is briefly framed for this [[spoiler: and later temporarily throws his lot in with Whitney out of desperation]], but is a good guy.

* BatmanGambit: Sousa's [[spoiler: 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.]]

** Season 2: Whitney Frost, the genius wife of one of the members of the secret society known as the Council of Nine. [[spoiler: She gains powers after becoming corrupted by Zero Matter and overthrows them, planning to create a rift that would allow more Zero Matter to invade our reality]].

** In the Season 1 finale, after a long string of incorrect guesses, [[spoiler: Howard finally remembers that "Dottie" was calling herself "Ida" during their one-night stand]]... well after that information was worth anything.
* BriefAccentImitation:

-->'''Dooley''': Yeah, I know. I used to go for walks at night with a chair strapped to my ass too.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A heroic version: By the second season, Howard Stark can't remember who [[spoiler: Dottie Underwood]] is. When Peggy and Jarvis remind him that she's the girl who ''kidnapped him at gunpoint'', it still doesn't ring a bell.

** [[spoiler: Johann Fennhoff goes by his real name or Dr. Ivchenko, never "Doctor Faustus".]]

-->'''[[https://twitter.com/HayleyAtwell/status/509389208604389376 Hayley Atwell]]''': Handmade hats and buttons imported from UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}. 1946 tailored dresses and suits. So elegant.

* CutShort: In the wake of the show's {{Cancellation}}, several plot threads are left at least partially unresolved, including [[spoiler: who shot Jack, why, and if he survived]]; the full potential and implications of Zero Matter; [[spoiler: Dottie]] still at large; the mystery of the Arena Club pin; if [[spoiler: Daniel Sousa]] is in fact Peggy's future husband; what was in [[spoiler: 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.
* CyanidePill: Dooley offers Colonel Mueller this if he gives info about what happened in the Battle of Finow. [[spoiler: It turns out to be a breath mint.]]

** Several events in the series up to the penultimate episode are darker than anything to go down in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse ''in its entirety'', with possibly the most disturbing thing yet being [[spoiler: the brief glimpses of the horrific murder-orgy that followed Item 17 being deployed in a theater room.]]

*** Thompson straight up asks Peggy why she stays with the [[=SSR=]], because [[DudeWheresMyRespect 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.

* DirtyCommunists: In contrast to the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi-born]] HYDRA from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', the villains this time around are from the Soviet Union. [[spoiler: Though we eventually find out their motivation is less one-dimensional than typical examples of this trope.]]

** [[AssholeVictim Agent Krzeminski]] and a captive {{mook|s}} being abruptly shot by [[spoiler: "Dottie"]] at the end of [[Recap/AgentCarterS1E3TimeAndTide "Time and Tide"]], followed by the SSR agents mourning the loss of their colleague.

** In season one, [[spoiler:Dottie]] is this for Peggy. Both she and Peggy are secret agents, as well as skilled [[ActionGirl 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 [[spoiler: Dottie]] does this by ObfuscatingStupidity and acting like a ditzy CountryMouse. Both are capable of flawless UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents when undercover. They are also both OnlyKnownByTheirNickname. But they use different fighting styles, with [[spoiler: Dottie]] relying on SheFu acrobatics, whereas Peggy relies on her fists, {{Improvised Weapon}}s, and brute force. Additionally, Peggy chose to become a secret agent, while [[spoiler: Dottie]] was {{Brainwashed}} into becoming a ChildSoldier at a young age by her Russian trainers.

* ExactWords: Dooley calls "everyone" to the briefing room, telling Peggy to "cover the phones." Peg promptly calls the switchboard and has all calls forwarded to the briefing toom, and with the phones thus covered, heads in for the briefing.
* EyeScream:

** Both Creator/LyndsyFonseca (Angie) and Creator/BridgetRegan (Dottie) only missed two episodes in the first season, yet they'weren't included in the main cast list.

* FinishHim: [[spoiler: A woman gives a young Dottie this as a signal to snap her fellow student's neck.]]

* ForegoneConclusion: Thanks to ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', a few fortunate and not-so-fortunate events are inevitable, including Peggy and Stark's survival past the 40s, and [[spoiler: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" [[spoiler: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 ''Film/IronMan2'' where his son Ivan will go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Stark's son. And regardless of Leviathan's fate, [[spoiler: 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.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Dottie]] killed Mink by combining MurderousThighs with NeckSnap and landed with a ThreePointLanding. All are Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow's favourite moves. [[spoiler: Episode 5 confirmed her identity as the one of the first Black Widows.]]

-->'''[[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=55174 McFeely]]''': We have a tendency to think of history as this fixed thing. "Oh, that's right. Good guys won, 1945. Then it was the 50s." It's just not the case. Everything was up for grabs for quite a while, and murky. We didn't know we really won.

* AFriendInNeed: In "A Sin to Err", Angie keeps [[spoiler: Peggy from being caught by the SSR]]. Particularly remarkable since she had no idea what was happening, just that her friend was in trouble, so she did not even hesitate to help.

** We switch scenes before we can see [[spoiler: Dottie]] take a dentist drill to a man's eye.

* HatePlague: The elusive "Item 017" turns out to be [[spoiler: 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.]]

** "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, [[spoiler: 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]].

---> '''Jarvis''': (shouting up to the roof) ''For God’s sake will you please stop shooting things?!''

--> '''Peggy''': We...caught a possum on this property earlier this morning. Vicious little creature.
--> '''Hunt''': (from the trunk) Let me outta here!
--> '''Peggy''': Or I have a man stashed in the boot.

* IWorkAlone: Peggy's attitude at the beginning of the series, especially after [[spoiler: her roommate Colleen]] is killed. Luckily, Jarvis talks her out of this mentality.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In order to get a vantage point for sniping, [[spoiler: Dottie]] goes to a dentist's office under the pretext of a job interview. The Dentist is a sleazy creep who seems to have been planning to [[CastingCouch persuade her to have sex with him in order to get the job]] and perhaps would have outright tried to assault her, given that the "interview" was being conducted in an empty office at the end of the day. [[spoiler: Dottie]] was definitely planning on killing him from the outset, but his behavior may have played a role in the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath manner in which she killed him]].

** [[spoiler: Season Two ended with Thompson being shot by some mysterious person who promptly takes the file on "M. Carter" he had in his possession. It's unknown whether he survives, let alone whodunnit.]]
** [[spoiler: we don't even get to find out whether the file was about Margaret (Peggy) or Michael Carter.]]
** [[spoiler: Dottie Underwood escaped and heaven knows if Peggy ever found her again.]]
* LegacyCharacter:

** [[spoiler: Dottie]] [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/28/marvels-agent-carter-dottie-black-widow is effectively]] a [[spoiler: previous ComicBook/BlackWidow]], and "The Iron Ceiling" gives some backstory on [[spoiler:the Black Widow program that eventually gives rise to Natasha Romanoff decades later]].

* MookHorrorShow: The fourth episode starts off in the POV of the {{Mooks}} who have [[spoiler: Howard Stark]] held captive. One of their fellow {{Mooks}} is knocked out by some killer in the shadows, and when they try and find out who did this to him, they only end up being knocked out by the same killer, who, of course, is none other than Peggy. The scene is complete with spooky background music, too!
* MurderousThighs: How [[spoiler: Dottie]] disposes of Mr. Mink.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Played with. Peggy is absolutely a self-made woman. The problem is, this trope is so enforced in the minds of her superiors and coworkers that they all assume she got her job with the [=SSR=] by virtue of her relationship with Captain America; their relationship never got any farther than planning a first date before [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Cap crashed Schmidt's plane into the ice]]. The truth, as Jarvis points out, is much closer to being the opposite: Cap got the opportunity to prove himself ''because of Peggy'', and he depended on Peggy for support and guidance.

** [[spoiler: 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.]]

--> '''Jarvis''': Oh! Sorry. I had to park around the corner -- street cleaning. Back in a jiffy.

** [[spoiler: Doctor Faustus]], for instance, is best known as a Captain America villain.

* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: Peggy's first roommate]] is killed in just her second scene to demonstrate how ruthless Leviathan agents are.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Agent Krzeminski]] bites it after only three episodes, followed by [[spoiler:Chief Dooley]] in the penultimate episode.

* SecondLove: One thread running through the series is Peggy's slow movement towards finding this after Steve's death in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. She spends much of Season 1 learning to let go of him, and Season 2 places a few love interests in her way. Turns out her second love is [[spoiler: Daniel Sousa]].
* SelfMadeMan: Howard claims his parents were working class people from the Lower East Side of NYC, so he had to fight his way to the top and his millions.
* SheFu:

** [[invoked]]WordOfGod says that Ovechkin, the Russian private seen in the flashback in "SNAFU", is a reference to hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler: with the knowledge that "Ivchenko" is actually an alias, Dr. Fennhoff may have intentionally chosen it as an anagram for the soldier's name.]]

* SignatureMove: [[spoiler: Dottie]] pretending to surrender and then roundhouse-kicking someone's gun away.

** 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'' [[NeverASelfMadeWoman it's on a man's coattails]].

** 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 NeverASelfMadeWoman -- 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.

* SoundtrackDissonance: In "A Sin to Err," Peggy beats up the [=SSR=] agents sent to isolate her in the automat while the very upbeat "It's a Good Day" plays in the background.

** In the season 2 finale stinger, [[spoiler: Thompson is shot by an unknown assailant who retrieves his folders before leaving.]]

-->'''[[http://tvline.com/2015/01/27/marvels-agent-carter-preview-peggy-stark-jarvis-sousa-finale/ Fazekas]]''': One of the things I believe came from ABC was they didn’t want an episodic show, they didn’t want it to be Gadget of the Week or Bad Guy of the Week, which is such a nice change from five years ago. I think that because of the influence of cable and DVR and binge-watching, they’re not afraid of continuing storylines.

-->'''Howard Stark''': [One handful] would level a city block. I'm not talking the short ones. ''Avenues.''

* SubliminalSeduction: The "Black Widow" trainees are shown learning to speak English from watching ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''. When Peggy Carter finds the training room, she runs a few frames through the projector and finds the words INSTALL FEAR.

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: 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.]]

** A more straight example are [[spoiler: Dottie and the other girls from the Black Widow program]].

** "The Iron Ceiling", in which Carter and the Howling Commandos from ''The First Avenger'' uncover [[spoiler: the Black Widow training facility]], culminating in the most action packed and tense climax thus far in the series, Agent Thompson's HiddenDepths are revealed, and the full extent of [[spoiler: Dottie's]] backstory, badassery and psychopathy are revealed.

* WhatTheHellHero: Pretty much everyone calls Peggy out on [[spoiler: breaking Dottie Underwood out of prison]] in "Life of the Party". Herself included.

** This is how [[spoiler: Dottie]] continually gets the jump on even trained agents: they just don't think she's capable of overpowering them.

[-[[caption-width-right:315:While the star-spangled man with a plan is away, the red, white, and blue lady shall defend the USA.]]-]

* TheyFightCrime: She's a badass secret agent and WWII veteran. He's a domestic butler. Together they clear Howard Stark's name and fight Leviathan!

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Jarvis and Peggy have to question Howard Stark's ex-girlfriends, who don't hold back at expressing their outrage over TheCasanova who loved and left them. Cue Jarvis getting repeatedly slapped in the face as a handy surrogate for his boss. When Peggy intercepts one slap, he gets kicked in the shin instead. Averted when Peggy herself gets angry at Howard; she flat-out punches him.

* Anachronistic Soundtrack: The first episode opens with "That Man" by Caro Emerald. The episode is set in 1947 but the song is from 2010.

* NiceHat:
** 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.
--->'''Rose:''' Love the hat.
** 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 ArchEnemy Dottie Underwood robbing a bank.

** Jason Wilkes in S2. Also an AgeLift and a complete AdaptationPersonalityChange.

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 Creator/WynnEverett as Whitney Frost, Creator/LotteVerbeek as Ana Jarvis, and Reggie Austin as Jason Wilkes.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Captain America, for the moment anyway, and in the first episode [[spoiler:Peggy's roommate, Colleen]]. Both of them together are responsible for Peggy's (our hero and protagonist's) immense degree of angst.

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 points[[note]]such as who shot Thompson and why they wanted the redacted dossier on Peggy, and the fate of Dottie Underwood after her escape[[/note]] have as such never been resolved, we do learn some of what happened to Peggy and Howard after the events of the show in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.

** In the first season, the name of the dairy company that Peggy Carter investigates at one point is "Daisy Clover", from the 1965 film ''Film/InsideDaisyClover'' with Creator/NatalieWood.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Due to the aforementioned MadonnaWhoreComplex, Peggy is looked down upon and often pushed aside by her superiors and coworkers, who at best dismiss her as a young lady who simply hasn't learned that as a woman her proper place is either at home raising kids and making dinner or doing something not dangerous (like fetching coffee and reports) since anything dangerous is "man's work" or at worst think she's trying to use her relationship with ComicBook/CaptainAmerica to get ahead in an environment that is no place for a woman. Ultimately Peggy ends up using this to her advantage, since everyone either sees her as "a stray kitten" or "a secretary turned damsel" actually makes it easier for her to sneak around and do her own investigating.
** "The Blitzkrieg Button": Sousa struggles to get a homeless man to tell him what he saw, even after he talks about their shared service in WWII. The man still refuses to talk to cops. [[spoiler:Thompson simply bribes him with a bottle of whiskey and a burger.]]
** A sad case with Sousa in "SNAFU": [[spoiler: even an honest-to-god NiceGuy like him is still going to have ''some'' sexist leanings in the setting the show has; he might respect Carter, but he still views her with a MadonnaWhoreComplex.]]
** Similarly, in "Valediction", while Thompson and the SSR honestly acknowledge Peggy's good work [[spoiler: Thompson still takes all the credit when a politician shows up to congratulate the person responsible for stopping the attack. No one at the SSR stops him or, besides Sousa, even seems perturbed. For what it's worth, Thompson does look a little uncomfortable taking credit for Peggy's accomplishment.]]
** Jason Wilkes may be a brilliant scientist, but in the 1940s he still has to deal with an incredible amount of casual racism everywhere he goes.

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, Creator/LotteVerbeek as Ana Jarvis, and Reggie Austin as Jason Wilkes.

The series was initially tested out with a [[Film/MarvelOneShots Marvel One-Shot]] [[Film/AgentCarter of the same name]] released with the ''Film/IronMan3'' Blu-Ray in fall 2013. The executive producers of the show were [[Series/{{Reaper}} Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters]], Steve [=McFeely=] and Christopher Marcus (writers of the ''Captain America'' movies), and Creator/JephLoeb.

* NotSoDifferent: In s2e04 "Smoke and Mirrors" the flashbacks show that Peggy Carter and her adversary Whitney Frost are both quite similar. They're both women who aspire to much more than the gender roles of the early 20th century would like them to.

* RealityEnsues:
** Due to the aforementioned MadonnaWhoreComplex, Peggy is looked down upon and often pushed aside by her superiors and coworkers, who at best dismiss her as a young lady who simply hasn't learned that as a woman her proper place is either at home raising kids and making dinner or doing something not dangerous (like fetching coffee and reports) since anything dangerous is "man's work" or at worst think she's trying to use her relationship with ComicBook/CaptainAmerica to get ahead in an environment that is no place for a woman.
