Exactly. Have people forgotten how worked up she got over the fact that Howard kept Steve’s blood a secret? Her reaction? That was probably the first time her team saw her cry, OVER STEVE CAUSE SHE “WANTED TO SAVE HIM ONE LAST TIME.” For goodness sake, must I put in the scene of her pouring Steve’s blood out on the Brooklyn bridge? How she tried to convince Howard to turn around, who I must say loved Steve too? There is no proof she ended up with Sousa.
Omg, freakin thank you! I loved your reply so much, I had to reply to it this way, I hope you don’t mind.
Just THIS. Everything you said. Those scenes and how they unfolded and her body language spoke volumes. Hayley did such a great job conveying what Peggy was feeling in those moments and what Steve means to her and how his death has affected her.
Exactly! People always point to the bridge scene as her moving on, but it’s more layered than that. She got rid of the sample to protect Steve and his legacy, so no one could use his blood for their personal gain. It also gave her a physical means of saying goodbye to him, so, yeah, she could have some semblance of closure. She deserved that.
The thing that gets me is people are treating Steve and Peggy like they had a messy breakup, when that’s far from what actually happened. She literally though he was dead. He was frozen for 70 years. It was extraordinary circumstances that kept Peggy and Steve apart, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to be together.
For real. There’s no proof she ended up marrying Sousa. Honestly, if the showrunners had wanted to say that he was the husband. I think they would have said something in the years following Agent Carter. Like when they’ve spoken of what their plans were for season 3.
So, I’m not going to assume that they actually haven’t seen it. But with people who keep bringing up Agent Carter solely to be like “Peggy moved on” and get really high and mighty about it. I do question rather they have actually seen the show and are just acting like they have. Just from the way they speak about Peggy as if her only value is when she’s “moved on from Steve.” And, a lot them don’t seem to know who Violet is, which is freakin hysterical.
