Howard Stark - Blog Posts
I think my favourite fuck you moment is when Howard Stark says in Captain America the First Avenger said that Hydra won't be attacking them with a pocket knife, and then Hydra and many, many other villans throughout the MCU proceed to attack with knives or types of blades multiple times. Like bitch they took that personally and said Imma fucking show you.
Imagine Tony appearing in the afterlife
Imagine him appearing and Nat being there and just sadly smiling at him and vision welcoming him.
Imagine his mother seeing him and telling him how proud she is and that she loves him.
Imagine him meeting Howard and him recognizing his son as the wierd guy he met that one day.
Imagine him seeing them all again.
Imagine Tony being happy and watching over the people he left behind while being with the ones he has now seen again.
I saw this and had no idea where he was from fandom-wise; but it's very cool all the same! (I'm not great at drawing people so its fun to see people who can do that really well) Also, it reminded me of Gomez Addams and Howard Stark when I saw him. And now I want to look up The Magnus Archives so yay! š

TV Shoutout: Marvel's Agent Carter
Marvel's Agent CarterĀ isĀ ending its first season this week and it's time for another TV Shoutout!
What it is about: Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) returned from the war and fighting alongside Captain America, to being a glorified secretary in covert agency SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve) and she was none too pleased because of it. When Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) came calling about a raid on a vault full of his inventions, she decided to help her friend.
Why you should watch it:Ā Because Peggy Carter kicks ass. End of story.
Well, not end of story, because what makes Agent Carter special is that it's also a rich period piece. When World War II ended, men came back from the war and women sidelined once again, so it was only up to Carter's determination to push herself above and beyond sexism of the era. Agent Carter is about her journey blasting through all the expectations of how a woman should be in that time. The show also have great, fulfilling script and 3-dimensional supporting characters all around, male and female alike; from Jarvis (Stark's original butler, played by James D'Arcy), Howard Stark, and the people Carter worked with.
For Marvel fans, Agent Carter acts as a sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger and prequel to the others, so this is obviously for you if you ever wonder about what happened in between. Surprisingly, this season did not dwell into S.H.I.E.L.D and HYDRA (considering we know that Carter later founded S.H.I.E.L.D) at all, opted out instead for another "evil" organization as the villain, but the show is none the worst because of it.
Don't be intimidated with the ever expanding universe of Marvel Cinema though, Agent Carter practically have no direct connection to any previous movies or show, except maybe Captain America. Even then, it was only as an emotional basis for Peggy Carter (sobs!) and none of the plot directly related to it. The show is pretty much self-standing.
Who should watch it:Ā Those who wants to see strong, well-rounded female and male characters, great action and spy-work, and just general 1940's period class.
Where you should start: Oh come on, don't be lazy ;) It's just 8 episodes so start at the beginning!
Status:Ā It's first season is an 8-episodes mini-season devised to fill the slot of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Ā during hiatus. There are still no words regarding second season (fingers crossed), but the showrunners are up for it if opportunity arises.

So, Tony could have meaningfull and quite beautiful conversation with his father and Steve could stare at Peggy for what felt like minutes, but Thor couldnāt even glance at Loki as he passed by? Even if he is dead for him? Come on, give us something!
Ok so I was watching Agent Carter the other day (2 years ago) and do you guys get a vibe between Howard Stark and Peggy Carter??? Because I definitely do and I wanted to know what y'all think about that ship
