The costume department deserves so many kudos for this, it\u2019s unreal, especially given the fact that they pulled off Peggy pretty much flawlessly.<\/p>\n<p>1) Her hair is\u00a0<i>completely wrong<\/i> for the 40\u2019s. No professional\/working woman \u00a0would have her hair loose like that. Since they\u2019re trying to pass this off as a military hospital, Steve would know that she would at least have her hair carefully pulled back, if maybe not in the elaborate coiffures that would have been popular.<\/p>\n<p>2) Her tie? Too wide, too long. That\u2019s a man\u2019s tie, not a woman\u2019s. They did, however, get the knot correct as far as I can see &#8211; that looks like a Windsor.<\/p>\n<p>3) That. Bra. There is so much clashing between that bra and what Steve would expect (remember, he worked with a bunch of women for a long time) that it\u00a0<i>has<\/i> to be intentional. She\u2019s wearing a foam cup, which would have been unheard of back then. It\u2019s also an exceptionally old or ill-fitting bra &#8211; why else can you see the tops of the cups? No woman would have been caught\u00a0<i>dead<\/i> with misbehaving lingerie like that back then, and the soft satin cups of 40\u2019s lingerie made it nearly impossible anyway. Her breasts are also sitting at a much lower angle than would be acceptable in the 40\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Look at his eyes. He knows by the time he gets to her <i>hair<\/i> that something is very, very wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>so what you are saying is S.H.E.I.L.D. has a super shitty costume division\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nope, Nick Fury totally did this on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no knowing what kind of condition Steve\u2019s in, or what kind of person he really is, after decades of nostalgia blur the reality and the long years in the ice (after a plane crash and a shitload of radiation) do their work. (Pre-crash Steve is in lots of files, I\u2019m sure. Nick Fury does not trust files.) So Fury instructs his people to build a stage, and makes sure that the right people put up some of the wrong cues.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the real Steve\u2019s a dick, or just an above-average jock; maybe he had a knack for hanging out with real talent. Maybe he hit his head too hard on the landing and he\u2019s not gonna be Captain anymore. On the flipside, if he really <i>is <\/i>smart, then putting him in a standard, modern hospital room and telling him the truth is going to have him clamming up and refusing to believe a goddamn thing he hears for a <i>really<\/i> long time.<\/p>\n<p>The real question here is, how long it does it take for the man, the myth, the legend to notice? What does he do about it? How long does he wait to get his bearings, confirm his suspicions, and gather information before attempting busting out?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the answer\u2019s about forty-five seconds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sometimes clever posts die a quiet death in the abyss of the unreblogged. Some clever posts get attention, get comments, get <i>better<\/i>. Then there\u2019s this one which I\u2019ve watched evolve into a thing of brilliance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a good example of telling a story with subtle details.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>experimentalfantasist: marguerite26: kk-maker: 2spoopy5you: lohelim: sabacc: Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman\u2019s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.
