Cynical and heroic, secretly kind… Continue reading Howard Stark Deep Dive

We unravel Peggy’s split second decision and how… Continue reading What If Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?

Caroline and Genn team up again for sorcery (not really), truth and history lessons, and plenty of savagery as they tear apart Zemo and Walker... and analyze the rest of the episode too.
