One thing I have SO many thoughts and feels about is how Agent Carter repositioned Peggy at the center, and made the 1940s part of the story about HER.
That was really amazing! I loved her from the start in TFA, but she was definitely not in the spotlight in that movie, so it was great to see that yes, this show is going to be about her and her life and choices.
the third one is unfinished) that mixes TFA footage with AC footage, and it has been an absolutely fascinating process to rearrange the TFA clips to reposition it in Peggy's POV, which is what I'm trying to do in all three cases. And it's subtle, that visual narrative POV -- it's whose face the camera lingers on, it's what order the reaction shots are shown in, it's whose face is in the center of the screen and who isn't; it's whose moments of weakness and doubt are seen, and whose aren't.
Oh wow, that does sound amazing. I love vids that look at the original source from a different perspective like that. Your talking about Engrenages also reminds me of the first time I saw Fury Road -- it was so non-exploitive, and the women really were front and center, and it was just an almost visceral difference. It really made me aware of how flipped around that usually is -- I take on the male gaze etc., just because it's the default and don't think about it. And then Furiosa was so obviously the HERO of Fury Road I was just blown back in my seat.
