Oh So Geeky

Peggy's legacy is one of the most beloved and inspiring examples of female characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hoping her journey on television would fare better, it was a disappointing loss when Agent Carter was one of many, many shows to be cancelled. Even though the spirited leader's spin-off was critically acclaimed and adored by fans, ABC studio execs weren't convinced to keep the crime-and-sexist fighting maven around longer. Marvel and ABC may be short-sighted in fully exploring the female protagonists we want to see more of. For what it's worth, we'll always have both seasons of her show and Peggy's presence in the Captain America franchise. We know the value of Miss Carter, and anybody else's opinion doesn't really matter. If you're still head over heels for the brains, brawn, and beauty kick-assery that Peggy inspired, you might like some of these similar books, movies, and tv shows. Know of a book or movie that's n...

Nominate other bloggers (up to 11) and give them 11 questions to answer. Here are Samantha's Questions: 1. Favorite movie genre, and why? Comedy and drama are pretty equal genres that I love. It's good to have a healthy amount of laugh riots and tear jerkers in our lives. But I also really love movies that feel like plays - limited cast, a lot of the action or conflict is through the talking, so.... 2. Favorite movie that's an adaptation of a book you've read? Not sure it's a favorite but I really like  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 's adaptation. It certainly has it's issues. Moaning Myrtle scene, anyone? But a lot of the book felt like it was dragging out the story, like Hermione's S.P.E.W., so I was happy to see a lot of stuff cut. 3. An actor or actress yo...

It's no secret that Twister is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've watched it to the point of having memorized it, raved about it , and visited the now defunct movie attraction  at Universal Orlando Resort. Now with the 20th anniversary around the corner, I wanted to celebrate the film's two main women: Melissa Reeves and Jo Harding. Let's be honest: they are both true boss ladies of the disaster genre. If you want to celebrate even more Twister (who doesn't?), check out:  5 Epic Facts You Didn't Know About Twister !

Batman used to be my favorite superhero, and I was mostly obsessed watching every franchise from Tim Burton to Christopher Nolan. It's fair to say I was far outside the Captain America bandwagon when The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier hit theaters. And, at the time other movies picqued my attention more like  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Hunger Games,  and Divergent . When my sister introduced me to the Sentinel of Liberty with The Winter Soldier  in 2014, a whole new world opened up. My first time watching the movie sparked an obsession for everything Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, and their whole universe. Two years later and I was quite literally jumping out my pants for the Ultimate Captain America marathon. I didn't know I could get so excited! It was months in the making, and then it was finally here!

This is a new little end-of-the-month series I'm hoping to start - a collection of things I did over the past few weeks. I didn't realize it was May already! Crossing my fingers this will help me keep a better track of time. Here's some things I did in April. What did you do last month? Read Me Before You - It may be obvious a little but I'm obsessed with the book , and a little more importantly, the movie coming out this summer. Finishing it actually helped me reach good ol' number five out of sixteen books for this year's  goodreads challenge . Went Bowling - For my sister's birthday we went bowling. We actually haven't done it in years. If a few pins were knocked down, we'd be pretty happy. My goal was to get at least one strike, and I did! But my poor sister, it was one gutterball after another. I'm only a little sorry to say (she's older and beats me at everything), I scored highest. Love ya sis! Enjoyed Blue Skies - Here in Flori...

Tumblr is a pretty amazing epic blog space for everything and anything you're a fan (or hater) of. So this post doesn't even scratch the surface of Captain America awesomeness you can find on there from gif sets to artwork and meta.

I love Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers. They might be one of, if not, my biggest OTP. With Captain American: Civil War  coming soon, there's no way we can't celebrate this amazing realtionship. It's too complex and touching for words. From gifs to illustrations, here is some incredibly heartfelt  artwork  of the life they shared in the films (and could've shared beyond them). Hope you enjoy and that I don't break your feels!
