@@zoulogist9171"The road kills you" what Agatha says in ep2. I think it's literal. Like once you've passed your trial, you have reached your end of the road and you will die and be rebirth back in to the regular world with what you most "desire". What they "desire" isn't power, it's a coven, a family, a sense of belonging. As Sharon wasn't really a witch but she accepted her friends really quickly so her road has ended and "died" returning to the regular world, Next was Alice, when she lifted her generation curse, she found "sisters" who bare her burden together. She "died" saving Agatha, so her trial has ended then died and returned to the regular world. Now Lilia "I love you guys" found what she needed and passed her trial so she too has died. Jen have not fully accepted her role in the sisterhood, so she is still walking on the road, same as Agatha and Billy. That's my theory and copium tho. I really like the characters and don't want them to all be dead by the end of the show.😂
OMG that's such a good observation and i've just realized now thanks to you, she's always put herself first but this time with lilia. just made me like even more the episode and their duo
Lilia is not really dead. Time is an illusion. She lives on at every moment of her entire life. This makes her immortal in a sense. She has embraced her destiny at the end of her trial/path. The fears from her childhood no longer plague her. She can now live the life she has always wanted. At any point in her time.
@@HeisenStark13 Not really, because her actions in the past already played out. However, she "lost" years of her youth while she was skipping to other times. Now she gets to live her youth, her conscience is back in the 1500s.
@@YURRRR84this episode wouldn’t be as impactful if the other episodes weren’t building up to it lmao. Hop off, y’all don’t know how tf storytelling works
The traveler: Lilia What's missing: the coven Path behind: Alice Path ahead: Jen Obstacles: Agatha The Windfall : Billy Destination: Death The way everything, every single pieces came together, was just so smart and cool!!! Loved this episode so much
jen being the path ahead because she’s the only true survivor of the road as well oh my godddd (considering agatha and billy created the road themselves they don’t really count)
This episode was PHENOMENAL! Easily the best of the show so far, really liked how we kept following Lilia's perspective. And that reveal at the end? I understand Agatha, Thanos, and Deadpool now. 😂
@@scootermcgaffin I hope she gets it. This show could set an example - Hollywood has a tendency of not casting older women in general, and never for main or important roles. This show has no acting flaws and it's all due to the amazing cast and writers they have. They should really get their flowers, but Patti was just above and beyond here
I think the ending was a strong indication that Patti's character, now that her gaps are filled in, can begin her witch journey in full. It's heart warming.
Both Alice and Lilia were real ones. They were my favorites in the coven. No disrespect to Alice whatsoever, but Lilia went out like a boss. She is DA GOAT.
15:44 I just realized from ya'lls reaction that the way off the witches road was referencing back to Sharon in episode 2 when she thought they'd find Westviews failed public transit system. LOL
So when Rio said in episode 3 that she had a scar from having to do something that hurt someone else, she was definitely talking about having to take Nicholas away from Agatha.
32:52 I think the reason people say this doesn't feel like a marvel show, is because the supernatural side of marvel has never been explored in dept in the mcu aside from the Dr. Strange films. I'm so glad this show exist.
True. I mean, MCU mostly explored the cosmic, multiverse, and science in most of their projects, and we barely know about the supernatural side of MCU, only shown by Moon Knight, Doctor Strange movies, and Werewolf by Night so far
And Dr. Strange’s use of magic is ridiculously bad, it’s shallow, a yellow light imitating weapons most of the time. Covens, rules, WITCHCRAFT is extremely more interesting, and the script for this show is LOVELY well done.
Lilia experiencing so much guilt over not being able to save her original coven but then using her last moments to save her new one will never NOT give me chills. Just a masterful episode all around.
FYI - since you asked. The cards in Billy & Agatha's reading were from a standard Tarot deck. The cards in Lilia's reading were a special set of cards that Marvel released as promotional materials. The Three of Pentacles shows five individuals that look like the six coven members. The other cards clearly represents characters in the show. The Tower usually shows a gold crown falling, for example, but in the released cards it instead shows Billy's coronet. They all have a tiny signature in the corner that looks like the sigil. Very cool. This was the Best Episode!!!!
Get jac schaeffer her own movie. She’s killed this episode in the most beautiful way possible. Lilia character arc was so beautiful. Very emotional but satisfying. That big reveal at the end tho 😱💀
This episode brought me straight back to Loki's Glorious Purpose moment. I wasn't ready to lose Patti at this point, but the way she went, it was only befitting for a legend like her.
Fantastic episode. The writing was amazing. They handled her “premonitions” from the previous episodes so much better than I could’ve imagined. Seeing it all together in order (of Lilia’s POV) makes so much more sense. It’s also so cool to see they made the tarot cards actual shots with the actual characters. Not to mention, the reveal of Death gave me chills, and Time In A Bottle over the credits is so perfect. It’s even better the second time you watch it
It's not SURPRISING that Patti LuPone delivered such an amazing performance but it still is a joy to watch. I've loved the entire series so far but this was absolutely a level above.
Not only is this my favorite one it’s also my favorite Disney plus episode of anything in a long while. I posted on Coy’s review, but thought I’d share here. Best directed, written - and definitely acted, episode of the season.
I didn’t tear up until it played - it was so perfect! And the perfect tie-in from Days of Future Past with Quicksilver. Hopefully it means we get Tommy soon.
I was with my mouth hanging open throughout the whole episode, but the song sent me over the edge and I cried real bad. Still fighting tears rn. Crazy.
My theory: Agatha has never been on the road, she just spread this rumour to gather witches over the centuries just to “lead them to the road” but tricks them and steal their powers like how she tried to do with this coven at first👀 and Rio would collect the bodies
Yeah it’s obvious that she’s never been on the road and that she even believed that it wasn’t real. I like the theory that she lured witches to the road and stole their powers. I hadn’t thought of that but it would make sense and would go with my theory that Agatha and the other witches all thought the road was a myth and in fact the only way to access the road is with the power of Billy. I don’t agree with the theory the other RUclipsr had that the road is a Hex like WandaVision but I do believe the only one who can actually unlock the road is Billy and his coven to be. So I also believe the ones who die somehow come back at the end of the road.
@@bRyaN.K.B3nz That's true. And i think if the road is a hex made by billy, he will not allow the witches to die unless he doesn't have a control over it which is impossible.
I just finished watching the episode, it’s been a long time (besides Loki) since I watched a marvel project where I loved absolutely every second. Lilia is my favourite character of the show, Patti’s acting is top tier. The directing and editing of the episode also so good!
I'm not sure if I cried because I was sad for the death of Lilia, the perfection of the writing, the triumph Lilia had over her fear, the peace she found at the end, or the exquisite beauty of the tapestry the plot reveals itself to be. Bless you Jac Schaeffer! Also, not only is the credits song perfect for both subject matter and emotional tone, but I suspect the fact it was used in Xmen: Days of Future Past for a scene involving TWO "Maximoff's" was NOT A COINCIDENCE!
This felt like a Christopher Nolan movie! All these seemingly random events throughout the show that we knew were gonna pay off somehow, but paid off in an even bigger, more emotionally powerful way. I knew all of the odd things that Lilia said and did this season weren’t random. Especially name dropping all the tarot cards during important moments of the show. But I didn’t expect it to be done so beautifully. And my heart broke when she sacrificed herself to save her coven, Agatha better find a way to bring them back at the end of the road.
YES! This and the last have really kicked the show along amazingly. And I don’t think that’s too hyperbolic (probably). This has passed the last one to be my fave.
This is one of the greatest episodes/moments of the MCU. Everything about it from the writing to the acting to the cinematography. Freaking chefs kiss 👏🏽👏🏽
@@yo-kaimaster2826 The CGI budget would've killed it, remember Secret Invasion? The Eternals have powers that would require a big budget for a tv show.
A week after Evan Peters shows up, they use Time in a Bottle at the end that was also used in one of the best comic book movie scenes ever in Days of Future Past
THIS is why you cast Patti LuPone! She better get a freaking Emmy nomination for this. She was already a legend, but I’m so happy that far more people will want to look up Patti’s work after this show.
@@Justitia_Nomen yes that she was made to be the evil witch, people put her into that role because she was too different and after trying so hard to fight against those lies and fighting for the good in herself she just ended up conceding and becoming the wicked witch they wanted her too be. It became much easier for everyone to know her as an evil witch than the person she truly was... this meaning Elphaba kkkk sorry for the spoiler for Wicked😅
The fact you all know her as Elphaba rather than the Wicked Witch of the West is tragic. Even _more_ tragic is that none of you know how Elphaba is like as a character from the books. Just the terrible high-school drama musical, which was awful.
@@arc7375 I never saw any of the broadway musicals or read the book(s?). I have seen the wizard of oz, the wiz, and oz the great and powerful. Definitely know her as the wicked witch of the west. I only mentioned elphaba because I thought she wasn’t as evil as she was being presented. Thought hey, Agatha might surprise us? This might be something related to her character as well? Which I kinda think based on snips from trailers. Agatha says to teen the truth was much worse, referring to him asking why she let people think that about her. *shrugs*
Maybe the best ~30 minutes of marvel content ever. Absolutely incredible television. No surprises, I knew who Rio was since ep 1 (that dagger is just too iconic) but the execution here was simply unmatched. How layered and detailed it was all woven into the story from the very beginning of the show with all Lilia’s outbursts and everything…and Patti Lupone’s performance. My god.
I love Mike Flanagan’s work so watching this episode was just so amazing to see them fit all these pieces together so beautifully it is absolutely incredible!!
Whilst this was definitely Patti’s episode, I have to say it was Sasheer’s “No!” that fully broke me at the end. The one who put herself first in every trial finally finding a friend and then being unable to put her first 😭
One of the best MCU tv episodes ever. Genius nonlinear writing that would make Christopher Nolan burst with pride, and a truly S tier performance by Patti LuPone!
This episode had strong finale energy with the way it wrapped things up so satisfyingly. I loved how Lilia was able to heal her core wound before she died. She never got over her inability to save her coven, but now she saved her coven 🥲 I'm interested to see what happens with Agatha in the finale, as she's been acting less like a witch and more like an energy vampire. I get it that she's not a specialist in various areas of the craft, but she also seems to know nothing about things like potions or Tarot, and doesn't want to learn. That's strange for a woman addicted to the acquisition of power, as we all know that knowlede is power. At any rate, I feel like that's her specialty - power theft. And that's why witches hate her. Agatha didn't take time to learn the craft - like her mother said, she quickly reached for magicks above her station, advancing fast and dangerously, at the cost of those around her.
The whole season I was wondering why they cast Patti LuPone. It kind of seemed like a waste of talent. But this episode brought me to tears. She was incredible.
This episode really did a nice job waving Lilia’s life through multiple times together and how wild it is to live it but also dealing with people that just think you’re “crazy”. Patti did a great job as Lilia and had a touching end. Aubrey cast as Death is Amazing and S tier casting alongside RDJ as Tony Stark and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. 👏👏
You were one of the few reactors to actually catch on to what the writer was doing as the episode progressed. It was extremely satisfying to watch your reaction after seeing so many others just not quite “get it” because it went way over their heads
One of the greatest screen deaths ever - Patti knocked it out of the park This is by far the best episode and a great moment in Television So so so good
this was definitely the best episode in the show. honestly it’s one of if not the best written piece of media for any marvel project if im being honest. it handling the fear of death and time and the acceptance of that at the end while having all the pieces connecting was soooooo good. lived this episode so much and im going to miss lilia sm
This is one of the best episodes to ever come out of Disney plus shows. The gays and girls kow what a legend patti lupone is, now the entire world knows. No doubt, give Jac the scarlet witch movie.
this was by far the best episode i liked all the tarot stuff it actually made me forget that its a marvel show and i hope idk why with lilia’s warning to agatha she becomes the comic version who helps people control their powers
Oh this one is up there in my list of MCU best moments. Jac Schaeffer needs to be in everything magical side of MCU. She can take her time with everything I trust her 😭
She must take over the supernatural side of the MCU in it's entirety, starting with the Scarlet Witch movie, Midnight Sons, Blade, Ghost Rider,Moon knight, Werewolf by night, Man Thing... everything that is supernatural from marvel must be given to her and her team. Give her all the time she wants to make it great.
@44:13 - Yes, those are all classic tarot drawings, but slightly altered to resemble the cast. Look closely at each and you can see their faces and Billy's blue crown. This episode was a MASTER CLASS of just everything!! Loved it so much! *chef's kiss*
@@ThomasMees haven’t seen it. Won’t watch it. They blew it on the Star Wars content for me. Every single one has been a miss. And yes, rogue one is bad.
@@procrastinator547 stupid ass reply you don’t know what you’re talking about and can’t complain abt quality tv then purposely choose not to watch quality tv, and no rogue one isn’t bad
@procrastinator547 Let's not pretend that Star Wars pre-Disney was back to back masterpieces. It's been an IP churning out mid content for decades, with the occasional diamond in the rough mixed in there. Andor is the most prominent diamond in the last few years. You are doing yourself a disservice by not watching it.
I really liked the way you articulated your thoughts and the points you brought up. I'm always impressed by how detailed and nuanced your reviews are. And thank you Coy for being vulnerable and sharing with us, why this meant so much to you. This was touching, just like the way Lilia came full circle this episode.
I said I wasn't going to watch these until the show finished but after watching I knew, there is no way Coy didn't love this. I appreciate the acknowledgement of a lot of the discourse surrounding this show. I cried so much. Having people in my family deal with Alzheimer's and Dementia as they aged and then passed, this episode hit me so hard. I am still crying as I remember it and as I watched your reaction. Thank you for this. It was never about you all needing to love this show, it was always about giving it a fair chance. You can argue that you did, and maybe you'd be right, but even if you guys hate the rest of it, this was redeeming in so many ways. Ugh, EMOTIONS! lol
it’s funny because i was just waiting for rio to be revealed as death because i as well as many other fans had the death and wiccan reveal spoiled. Funko pop had released an agatha funko pop but on the back, there was a wiccan and death funko in that set/series. the wiccan reveal was obvious like i think we all knew when joe locke was casted but majority of us did not see death being involved so that was spoiled. however, the way the reveal was handled still made it soooo satisfying
Yeah, even though both reveals were spoilt, I must give them their flowers that they managed to do both in a way that I was expecting which genuinely made me feel like I was on the edge on my seat for such satisfying reveals
This episode alone has to be one of my FAVORITE episode of the show! Seeing everyone as Disney characters especially Maleficent Billy was the highlight of the season. I'm really glad Lilia & Jennifer returned. It hurt me to see Lilia sacrificing herself to save the other's even though we just got her back, the scene alone was very emotional & devastating to watch 😢
Love that they end this episode with the same song that plays during Quick Silvers slowed down action scene from Days of Future Past. Billy is looking for his brother. The road ends with him. And the song fits so well with Lilia’s arc/life. And that movie was all about sending Logan’s conscience through time just like Lilia was experiencing.
I think Tommy’s name is going to be quicksilver in the mcu instead of speed because he’s actually never been called that onscreen in the mcu or in the fox universe I think and it would pay homage to both versions of the character.
This has got to be my favourite episode. I loved Lilia's character and after this she's so solid I feel I need much more of her. What a beautifully crafted episode.
Not even joking, Eric Voss pregamed this episode by comparing Lilia to Desmond from Lost and a spacific episode where he is unstuck from time. Then he said something about age groups, Lost is his age group (my age), and younger ages will probably turn to Rose from Haunting of Hill House.
The Constant, probably one of the best Lost episodes. I can totally see it. As well as Greg's reference about Lilia being like Amy Adam's in the Arrival, time is linear kind of sense. Both comparisons work perfectly. Great great episode.
Scarlet Witch, Blade, Ghost Rider, Dr Strange, Moon Knight, Werewolf by night, Man Thing...hell everything that has to do with supernatural stuff Disney/Marvel should give the(Agatha All Along) team create control. We could have an amazing supernatural MCU side if all of it was under their control, the Agatha show is proof of that.(Also let the supernatural side be fully rated-R all of it)

“You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me"
glad to hear Cory is finally onboard! also loved this episode, it's great to see how they was able to, in a single episode, made Lilia the most likable character in this show so far... now I am super sad that she's gone... although, I guess she's not really gone, she's gone back to her beginnings and is reliving her life again with renewed purpose hopefully :D
I love the concept time is an illusion from the episode. Lilia’s experiencing anything in any where at any time in her life. Like before she end up die, her mind can travel back to the beginning and then some where else she wants. She’s immortal in her life time
What an incredible episode! This is the kind of TV that helps build a legacy that will last for a long time. Phenomenal work all-around for this episode and this for sure takes my top spot for the season so far. 10/10! I can't wait for the double-feature finale next week!
I relate so much to Coy's fear my greatest fear is that I will change who I am my views my rational my personality emotions without me being in control without me understanding the change to lose who I am the way I think and feel as I grow older this is why I've picked up journaling and writing down things to remember and flesh out.
My grandmother passed away from dementia some years back,and Lelias experience this episode reminded me of her final days. Her mind would go back and forth from when she was a little girl, then back to her 90s, it was difficult to witness that😢
im not gonna lie, i legit shed a tear this episode..definitely the best one so far. Reminds me of the queen from castle rock or the constant from lost. time travel through consciousness revealing an inner meaning that the tortured traveler learns thats either good or bad, always a mix. In the end, its about acceptance.

Someone should have said "We're going to die!" like Indiana Jones in the temple of doom as the swords were about to get them.

@@zoulogist9171 I hope you're right. They really deserve to reach the end of the witches road after all they've been through including Sharon.

@@StardustandMadness and the fact that Evan Peters is in this show
My theory: Agatha has never been on the road, she just spread this rumour to gather witches over the centuries just to “lead them to the road” but tricks them and steal their powers like how she tried to do with this coven at first👀 and Rio would collect the bodies
@@pesewilliams5424 i think this road is not real. It's a hex made by Billy...
I think on the witches’ road is where she lost her son. She made it back because Death wouldn’t reap her but her son was sacrificed instead.
Yeah it’s obvious that she’s never been on the road and that she even believed that it wasn’t real. I like the theory that she lured witches to the road and stole their powers. I hadn’t thought of that but it would make sense and would go with my theory that Agatha and the other witches all thought the road was a myth and in fact the only way to access the road is with the power of Billy. I don’t agree with the theory the other RUclipsr had that the road is a Hex like WandaVision but I do believe the only one who can actually unlock the road is Billy and his coven to be. So I also believe the ones who die somehow come back at the end of the road.
Oh my god they were partner in crime
@@bRyaN.K.B3nz That's true. And i think if the road is a hex made by billy, he will not allow the witches to die unless he doesn't have a control over it which is impossible.
this episode is why they cast THE patti lupone
I just finished watching the episode, it’s been a long time (besides Loki) since I watched a marvel project where I loved absolutely every second. Lilia is my favourite character of the show, Patti’s acting is top tier. The directing and editing of the episode also so good!
I'm not sure if I cried because I was sad for the death of Lilia, the perfection of the writing, the triumph Lilia had over her fear, the peace she found at the end, or the exquisite beauty of the tapestry the plot reveals itself to be. Bless you Jac Schaeffer!
Also, not only is the credits song perfect for both subject matter and emotional tone, but I suspect the fact it was used in Xmen: Days of Future Past for a scene involving TWO "Maximoff's" was NOT A COINCIDENCE!
Not to mention the music itself!
Not to mention taking out the Salem Seven 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This felt like a Christopher Nolan movie! All these seemingly random events throughout the show that we knew were gonna pay off somehow, but paid off in an even bigger, more emotionally powerful way.
I knew all of the odd things that Lilia said and did this season weren’t random. Especially name dropping all the tarot cards during important moments of the show. But I didn’t expect it to be done so beautifully. And my heart broke when she sacrificed herself to save her coven, Agatha better find a way to bring them back at the end of the road.
Is This ALSO Your Favorite One Thus Far?!
This episode was fire this show is a masterpiece
Yesss!!!!
The best episode so far!!!!
R. I. P. Lilia
Episode 6 and 7 are my favourites I can't wait for 8 and 9 because the episodes are getting so much better
YES! This and the last have really kicked the show along amazingly. And I don’t think that’s too hyperbolic (probably). This has passed the last one to be my fave.
John or Greg, you know how many bots I have to get rid of on your comments 😂 I appreciate you guys and this is my mission. 💪
The ending has wizard of oz reference, Lilia gives Agatha instructions to be back home , Billy the spell book ( the brain) ,Jen a heart .
Kale, the only Jen is She-Hulk
This is one of the greatest episodes/moments of the MCU. Everything about it from the writing to the acting to the cinematography. Freaking chefs kiss 👏🏽👏🏽
This episode was just a masterpiece. One of my favorites out of any Marvel Studios show.
If Eternals was a show, they would have enough time to explore the characters and lore.
@@yo-kaimaster2826 Executed right, that could’ve been amazing.
Easily top 3
This is my favorite out of ALL disney plus shows. Lol
@@yo-kaimaster2826 The CGI budget would've killed it, remember Secret Invasion? The Eternals have powers that would require a big budget for a tv show.
I cried a lot. I'm sensitive. Was waiting for the reaction! I loved this ep!
This was one of the BEST episodes to come out of Marvel TV EVER!!! Whoever wrote this show, MARVEL PLEASE KEEP THEM AROUND!!!!
A week after Evan Peters shows up, they use Time in a Bottle at the end that was also used in one of the best comic book movie scenes ever in Days of Future Past
THIS is why you cast Patti LuPone! She better get a freaking Emmy nomination for this. She was already a legend, but I’m so happy that far more people will want to look up Patti’s work after this show.
Agatha being the wicked witch is fitting considering the reference to wizard of oz in wandavision
Specifically isn’t she supposed to be Elphaba? Wasn’t she misunderstood or something in the broadway story?
@@Justitia_Nomen I'm not actually too sure, but reference anyways 🤷♂, also rip lilia calderu
@@Justitia_Nomen yes that she was made to be the evil witch, people put her into that role because she was too different and after trying so hard to fight against those lies and fighting for the good in herself she just ended up conceding and becoming the wicked witch they wanted her too be. It became much easier for everyone to know her as an evil witch than the person she truly was... this meaning Elphaba kkkk sorry for the spoiler for Wicked😅
The fact you all know her as Elphaba rather than the Wicked Witch of the West is tragic.
Even _more_ tragic is that none of you know how Elphaba is like as a character from the books. Just the terrible high-school drama musical, which was awful.
@@arc7375 I never saw any of the broadway musicals or read the book(s?). I have seen the wizard of oz, the wiz, and oz the great and powerful. Definitely know her as the wicked witch of the west. I only mentioned elphaba because I thought she wasn’t as evil as she was being presented. Thought hey, Agatha might surprise us? This might be something related to her character as well? Which I kinda think based on snips from trailers. Agatha says to teen the truth was much worse, referring to him asking why she let people think that about her. *shrugs*
When they first announced this show, I saw a plethora of "nobody asked for this" comments. Who cares if anybody asked for it--it's fantastic!
All those comments turned into praises now 😅
Maybe the best ~30 minutes of marvel content ever. Absolutely incredible television. No surprises, I knew who Rio was since ep 1 (that dagger is just too iconic) but the execution here was simply unmatched. How layered and detailed it was all woven into the story from the very beginning of the show with all Lilia’s outbursts and everything…and Patti Lupone’s performance. My god.
got literal goosebumps when Lilia keeps on travelling through time. she's my favorite witch right from the start
I love Mike Flanagan’s work so watching this episode was just so amazing to see them fit all these pieces together so beautifully it is absolutely incredible!!
This episode is so great and my favorite episode of the show so far! 👍
i feel like other than death and time concepts, I think they also used this as a metaphor for dementia I believe...
Same thoughts!!
Whilst this was definitely Patti’s episode, I have to say it was Sasheer’s “No!” that fully broke me at the end. The one who put herself first in every trial finally finding a friend and then being unable to put her first 😭
One of the best MCU tv episodes ever. Genius nonlinear writing that would make Christopher Nolan burst with pride, and a truly S tier performance by Patti LuPone!
Joe Locke's (Billy) favorite episode. 💛
Ladies and Gentlemen, PATTI LUPONE.
Omg I saw that interview, he was definitely correct🙏🏼
This episode had strong finale energy with the way it wrapped things up so satisfyingly. I loved how Lilia was able to heal her core wound before she died. She never got over her inability to save her coven, but now she saved her coven 🥲 I'm interested to see what happens with Agatha in the finale, as she's been acting less like a witch and more like an energy vampire. I get it that she's not a specialist in various areas of the craft, but she also seems to know nothing about things like potions or Tarot, and doesn't want to learn. That's strange for a woman addicted to the acquisition of power, as we all know that knowlede is power. At any rate, I feel like that's her specialty - power theft. And that's why witches hate her. Agatha didn't take time to learn the craft - like her mother said, she quickly reached for magicks above her station, advancing fast and dangerously, at the cost of those around her.
The whole season I was wondering why they cast Patti LuPone. It kind of seemed like a waste of talent. But this episode brought me to tears. She was incredible.
This episode really did a nice job waving Lilia’s life through multiple times together and how wild it is to live it but also dealing with people that just think you’re “crazy”. Patti did a great job as Lilia and had a touching end.
Aubrey cast as Death is Amazing and S tier casting alongside RDJ as Tony Stark and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. 👏👏
so many shows dropping absolutely killer episodes recently! loving this TV renaissance
I still crying for lillia's death. Trully loved this episode, one of the best Marvel episodes so far.
You were one of the few reactors to actually catch on to what the writer was doing as the episode progressed. It was extremely satisfying to watch your reaction after seeing so many others just not quite “get it” because it went way over their heads
Aubrey Plaza looks amazing as Mistress Death
Yes, she does ❤
They all look amazing
I can't decide if I'm scared of her or want to ask for her phone number
Exactly
She really does!!
I ended up getting very emotional this episode wasn’t expecting it at all.
Omg I know right! ❤😢
I can't explain how much I love this episode.
nice vid yall :) this ep just soldified for me that if wanda got her own movie, i’d want Jac Schaeffer to direct
One of the greatest screen deaths ever - Patti knocked it out of the park
This is by far the best episode and a great moment in Television
So so so good
Aubrey plaza has had a hold on me since legion, her playing lady death is up her alley
Legion is my absolute favorite marvel piece. Hands down.❤❤❤❤ I'M SO EXCITED SHE'S BACK😂😂😂
this was definitely the best episode in the show. honestly it’s one of if not the best written piece of media for any marvel project if im being honest. it handling the fear of death and time and the acceptance of that at the end while having all the pieces connecting was soooooo good. lived this episode so much and im going to miss lilia sm
This is one of the best episodes to ever come out of Disney plus shows. The gays and girls kow what a legend patti lupone is, now the entire world knows. No doubt, give Jac the scarlet witch movie.
this was by far the best episode i liked all the tarot stuff it actually made me forget that its a marvel show and i hope idk why with lilia’s warning to agatha she becomes the comic version who helps people control their powers
She did help Wanda with the runes and navigating her grief and trauma. She's lowkey trying to help Billy too
@@heyitsmira17she only helped wanda to get what she wants its probably the same thing with billy
The way Jen screams No to Lilia just pierced my Heart knowing what was about to probably happen 😢
This Episode felt like a Beautiful love letter, definitely my new favorite episode .. Patti Lupone WENT OUT LIKE A G & KILLED IT. 🔥✨📺
Oh this one is up there in my list of MCU best moments. Jac Schaeffer needs to be in everything magical side of MCU. She can take her time with everything I trust her 😭
She must take over the supernatural side of the MCU in it's entirety, starting with the Scarlet Witch movie, Midnight Sons, Blade, Ghost Rider,Moon knight, Werewolf by night, Man Thing... everything that is supernatural from marvel must be given to her and her team.
Give her all the time she wants to make it great.
@44:13 - Yes, those are all classic tarot drawings, but slightly altered to resemble the cast. Look closely at each and you can see their faces and Billy's blue crown.
This episode was a MASTER CLASS of just everything!! Loved it so much!
*chef's kiss*
Absolutely blown away. Wasn’t aware that Disney was capable of a quality tv episode like that. More of this Disney
… andor exists
@@ThomasMees haven’t seen it. Won’t watch it. They blew it on the Star Wars content for me. Every single one has been a miss. And yes, rogue one is bad.
@@procrastinator547 stupid ass reply you don’t know what you’re talking about and can’t complain abt quality tv then purposely choose not to watch quality tv, and no rogue one isn’t bad
@procrastinator547 Let's not pretend that Star Wars pre-Disney was back to back masterpieces. It's been an IP churning out mid content for decades, with the occasional diamond in the rough mixed in there. Andor is the most prominent diamond in the last few years. You are doing yourself a disservice by not watching it.
You tell 'em, @@TBelen91.
I think this episode also makes the rewatchability that much better. I can’t Wait to rewatch this show and seeing all the things i missed.
The best episode I’ve ever watched from Marvel
This episode was a spectacle, a true CINEMA, RIP LILIA 🖤
A month later, it still brings me to tears.😢
Very fitting end credits song. Especially with Tommy
I really liked the way you articulated your thoughts and the points you brought up. I'm always impressed by how detailed and nuanced your reviews are. And thank you Coy for being vulnerable and sharing with us, why this meant so much to you. This was touching, just like the way Lilia came full circle this episode.
This episode broke me… I was sobbing by the end… still not sure why/how but totally got me!
I said I wasn't going to watch these until the show finished but after watching I knew, there is no way Coy didn't love this. I appreciate the acknowledgement of a lot of the discourse surrounding this show. I cried so much. Having people in my family deal with Alzheimer's and Dementia as they aged and then passed, this episode hit me so hard. I am still crying as I remember it and as I watched your reaction. Thank you for this. It was never about you all needing to love this show, it was always about giving it a fair chance. You can argue that you did, and maybe you'd be right, but even if you guys hate the rest of it, this was redeeming in so many ways. Ugh, EMOTIONS! lol
Christophe Beck’s musical signature is a powerful and recognisable as ever. Brings back a lot of Buffy memories.
THIS EPISODE MAKES ALL THE OTHER EPISODES EVEN BETTER NOW. LOL
it’s funny because i was just waiting for rio to be revealed as death because i as well as many other fans had the death and wiccan reveal spoiled. Funko pop had released an agatha funko pop but on the back, there was a wiccan and death funko in that set/series. the wiccan reveal was obvious like i think we all knew when joe locke was casted but majority of us did not see death being involved so that was spoiled. however, the way the reveal was handled still made it soooo satisfying
Yeah, even though both reveals were spoilt, I must give them their flowers that they managed to do both in a way that I was expecting which genuinely made me feel like I was on the edge on my seat for such satisfying reveals
That is one amazing Nnemonic episode, ridiculously well written, Oscar worthy acting, stupidly hypnotizing!
Perfect timing. Got the notification right as the credits hit on my first watch.
This episode alone has to be one of my FAVORITE episode of the show! Seeing everyone as Disney characters especially Maleficent Billy was the highlight of the season. I'm really glad Lilia & Jennifer returned. It hurt me to see Lilia sacrificing herself to save the other's even though we just got her back, the scene alone was very emotional & devastating to watch 😢
Love that they end this episode with the same song that plays during Quick Silvers slowed down action scene from Days of Future Past. Billy is looking for his brother. The road ends with him. And the song fits so well with Lilia’s arc/life. And that movie was all about sending Logan’s conscience through time just like Lilia was experiencing.
I think Tommy’s name is going to be quicksilver in the mcu instead of speed because he’s actually never been called that onscreen in the mcu or in the fox universe I think and it would pay homage to both versions of the character.
This has got to be my favourite episode. I loved Lilia's character and after this she's so solid I feel I need much more of her. What a beautifully crafted episode.
Not even joking, Eric Voss pregamed this episode by comparing Lilia to Desmond from Lost and a spacific episode where he is unstuck from time. Then he said something about age groups, Lost is his age group (my age), and younger ages will probably turn to Rose from Haunting of Hill House.
The Constant, probably one of the best Lost episodes. I can totally see it. As well as Greg's reference about Lilia being like Amy Adam's in the Arrival, time is linear kind of sense. Both comparisons work perfectly. Great great episode.
Whoever the creative team behind the show is. They need to do more marvel stuff. This show gets better with each episode
Scarlet Witch, Blade, Ghost Rider, Dr Strange, Moon Knight, Werewolf by night, Man Thing...hell everything that has to do with supernatural stuff Disney/Marvel should give the(Agatha All Along) team create control.
We could have an amazing supernatural MCU side if all of it was under their control, the Agatha show is proof of that.(Also let the supernatural side be fully rated-R all of it)
“You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me"
glad to hear Cory is finally onboard! also loved this episode, it's great to see how they was able to, in a single episode, made Lilia the most likable character in this show so far... now I am super sad that she's gone... although, I guess she's not really gone, she's gone back to her beginnings and is reliving her life again with renewed purpose hopefully :D
the song at the end, 100% easter egg for Tommy and quicksliver. No chance that was just a nice touch for us fans... so excited for the next episode :)
I love the concept time is an illusion from the episode. Lilia’s experiencing anything in any where at any time in her life. Like before she end up die, her mind can travel back to the beginning and then some where else she wants. She’s immortal in her life time
What an incredible episode! This is the kind of TV that helps build a legacy that will last for a long time. Phenomenal work all-around for this episode and this for sure takes my top spot for the season so far. 10/10! I can't wait for the double-feature finale next week!
NO WONDER Joe said this episode is his BEST EPISODE.
I relate so much to Coy's fear my greatest fear is that I will change who I am my views my rational my personality emotions without me being in control without me understanding the change to lose who I am the way I think and feel as I grow older this is why I've picked up journaling and writing down things to remember and flesh out.
My grandmother passed away from dementia some years back,and Lelias experience this episode reminded me of her final days. Her mind would go back and forth from when she was a little girl, then back to her 90s, it was difficult to witness that😢
"like a mid season of a Mike Flanagan show" 😭😭 exactly my thought, I love these kind of episodes ngl
When Rio first showed up on the road, she also said she was THE Green Witch. With emphasis like that, it usually means the first or best.
I was waiting for this to come out just after I finished watching the episode ^^
I think this is my favorite episode so far, it told lilia back story so well
im not gonna lie, i legit shed a tear this episode..definitely the best one so far. Reminds me of the queen from castle rock or the constant from lost. time travel through consciousness revealing an inner meaning that the tortured traveler learns thats either good or bad, always a mix. In the end, its about acceptance.
