Me: "Isn't this a world based on a comic universe where clones, brainwashing procedures, and Pod People Skrulls exist? How can you be sure it's the real Peggy?"

See, I'm a conspiracy nut. So that helps me to see Peggy get stabbed and actually feel fear for her, because this is Marvel and in a universe where Ben Urich gets choked to death by Kingpin and Madame Masque is Hedy Lamarr, I can believe just about anything. A clone that can age and have Alzheimers, huh? Yes. When have you ever heard of a clone that couldn't age? Heck, the Alzheimers even fits that, since clones are riddled with imperfections that manifest as illnesses.

Though something I just saw somebody post is also true: Peggy never walks. Winter Soldier? She's sitting in the past and lying down in the present. Ant-Man? Sitting down. They speculated that while Peggy doesn't die, she could become paraplegic. Yes, I know that can age but having Alzheimers is really far-fetched. Again, this is a world where Phil Coulson was brought back from death by the corpse of a dead alien, where Thor is an actual, living being, and a human was perfectly preserved in ice for 70 years without decomposing and was successfully revived. And that's not taking into account the actual comics, where crazier things have happened.

Is anything actually that far-fetched?
