Peggy Carter vs. The Captain America Adventure Program
the juxtaposition of this fight scene and that radio show was perfection. and lbr, it probably fuels most of that fight. “Betty Carver” is characterized as some helpless dumb bunny and “Captain America” as some sort of hypermasculine hero - god, how infuriating it must be to hear yourself and someone you loved mischaracterized so badly in these stupid jingoistic pop culture radio plays -
and you can’t say a thing to correct any of them.
no one knows who you are. no one can know who you are, who Steve Rogers really was, that he didn’t sound like that, didn’t talk like that, not at all.
meanwhile, you’re fighting against the tide of grief and loss in the wake of his disappearance that threatens to drown you, fighting a sexist system that wants you to file papers and make coffee for the rest of your career despite your record of outstanding service in the SSR, and now you’re fighting a dude in his living room, like no wonder she beats the hell out of him, she’s so fuckin done.
