Hmm, where to start... the putting words into Steve's mouth? The "only WE can call ourselves chicks and you better not" spiel? (Who is this "Toni" btw?) Peggy Carter with a nose ring? Really?

Toni Ho, daughter of Yinsen Ho.
She was a big thing in Al Ewing's New Avengers and U.S. Avengers.

"so what's weirder, that you look the age I should have or that I have the age you should look?"

"Eh, not as weird as wether Steve sleeping with you is creepy or not"

And remember, they were SISTERS in the Silver Age and Bronze Age.

Thank God they never made Sharon her daughter!

So... who's ready to retcon Amanda's name into "Amanda Sharon Carter" and make it even creepier?

The weirdest thing to me is the nose ring.

Thanks for playing " young angry one " in this scene, Toni.

I think she's still irritated about Cube!Cap throwing her into a prison cell and making her watch Sunspot die (She stopped him dying and they broke out, but still).

God, I fear for the poor Marvel Wiki editor who has to clear this up on Peggy's page.

Didn't she have a funeral special awhile back, or am I conflating the Civil War movie??

Given how much of a splash she made in the MCU this was pretty much inevitable.

[scorntx]

Don't think she had a funeral special, but she did definitely die.
They had a funeral for her and everything.

(Of course, in comics, death is slightly less permanent than a powernap.)

[locuatico]

They just put "by unknown reasons she was brought back to life younger and with the codename Dryad to help Captain America's name".
Like this is nothing to when doctor who revealed there was a never before seem incarnation of the doctor in-between eight and nine

[lordultimus]

She had a funeral in Ed Brubaker's run.

They really should put Haley Atwell's picture next to "Gone horribly right".

Oh, for goodness sake...

I dunno about this. I mean, Coates is good, and I've heard good things about his run even if it does seem to be kind of flying under the radar in terms of buzz, but this seems like a really iffy decision.

I mean, Peggy was one of those characters who meant more dead than she ever did alive, and bringing her back would seem to substantially drain both her and Cap of pathos. Looking at things now, there's not a single major character from Cap's WWII life who's not alive and well some 80 years later. Plus given the way Endgame (awkwardly and wrongheadedly imho) positioned life with Peggy as Cap's happy ending, it seems like the main drama from having Peggy alive again is the will they/won't they question.

Bringing Bucky back worked out shockingly well, so maybe this will too, but it doesn't seem as original or interesting at this point.
