another article calling out Marvel on their no homo, though this one focuses more about how horribly awkward it was. Some gems:

  • “It’s like the movie is smashing two very pleasant, but politely uninterested Barbie dolls against each other.”
  • “And what makes Steve and Sharon’s unsupported flirtation even more confusing is that the fierce bond keeping Civil War together isn’t a burly and/or witty man kicking ass for the love of a lady. No: Steve Rogers is kicking ass for Bucky Barnes.”
  • “Really, it’s just a shame that Civil War, an otherwise fantastically fun movie, defaulted to a stock and unconvincing romance, instead of figuring out how best to use Sharon’s skills.”

SPOILERS AHOYYYY! 

Although I think – I hope – most people know by now that she dies in Civil War (of old age, not of anything plot-related), and that’s the only spoiler here.

I took screenshots of Peggy’s obit in tonight’s Agents of SHIELD episode. Unfortunately you can’t read the whole thing (the camera only panned across part of it), but here are the parts fic writers might be interested in:

  • She was born April 9, 1921 in Hampstead, and was 95 when she died, putting her canonical death approximately when the movie came out (2016)
  • Her parents’ names were Harrison and Amanda.
  • Peggy’s career began as an office worker under the British Royal Military; she moved on to be a code-breaker and work for British intelligence (as we know).
  • Even if her brother Michael turns out to be alive in canon, he is still thought by the general public to have died in WWII; the obit mentions his death in the war as Peggy’s inspiration for joining the SOE. The obit also says that Michael is her only sibling.
  • She married and had two children who are both still alive as of 2016 (cagily, the obit only says that she married, but doesn’t say who).
  • Much of Peggy’s life is still classified.
  • The obit also describes her childhood as “one of adventure that served as a precursor to her later life as a spy and feminist pioneer”. Given that she grew up in Hampstead (an affluent suburb of London), I have no idea what THAT is supposed to mean. The family traveled a lot? They were once kidnapped by pirates who inexplicably wandered through Hampstead? Have fun, writers. :D
