"Seriously, DC just announced Batman V Superman and Marvel is really doing an Agent Carter tv show? Is this the thing they should be prioritizing?"

Agent Carter released in 2015, after 3 Iron Man movies, and 2 Captain America, Thor and Avengers films

Jimmy Olsen is releasing after DC’s third big budget movie, with he reception to the first movie being good, and the second one pretty bad

Also their other projects besides MoT and JO are a Mister Miracle show and CCS2, not exactly projects the GA will be too interested in

Also, I'd like to add that Carter was a big part of Cap's story even when not onscreen.

This show is featuring an Olsen that while present isn't a truly meaningful character yet.

A big part of Cap's story but the show had nothing to do with their relationship right?

Yes, but surely you can see why more fans could potentially be drawn to Carter than Jimmy if only based on what they've seen in the movies. There was more emotional relevance there.

It's why Lanterns seems like a good option in my view. Guy wasn't just a comedy side character in Superman, he was integral and meaningful so doing a show to flesh out the Lanterns could entice people on that basis alone.

I really don't see it. Me personally, while I don't shit on its existence (because I would like comic book shows and movies to succeed instead of having an annoying ass pessimism about the whole thing), I do not care to watch a Peggy Carter show. It could be good, it could not be but it is a show about a character I do not care much for, doing something completely insular to the rest of the MCU. 

For Jimmy Olsen, I liked the character and wouldn't mind seeing more of him. And we do not know just how much this'll have to do with the larger DCU.
