still the fact that this kid is getting drowned by bullies has to be one of the darkest moments in the MCU, that's really diving deep into the darkness of the human heart
And also that there's no one to love him... like, he was dying and no one would even care that much. Heartbreaking. No kid should have this type of life, but it's more common than we even know
Wanda created her Westview reality out of grief, tapping into her favorite shows that brought her happiness. I think when the Salem 7 scared the bejesus out of Billy, he created The Road out of pure fear and tapped into all the comforting things from his bedroom. I think most kids feel safest in their bedrooms, so my theory makes sense to me at least. lol
Rio literally cutting through the set to leave is so great. Such a brilliant way to of showing Rio’s power to literally cut through reality, and the road’s artifice with a practical set.
@@TheRavenfish9 Like last episode (or this episode? time is an illusion) when Rio said something like "You're walking with another woman's son down a road that doesn't...." and we all thought she meant "doesn't end" but of course she meant "doesn't exist."
Can we just give it up for Sasheer Zamata? In my brain coming into this show, she was “just” an SNL bit player, but she blew my doors off all throughout this show. Absolutely BODIED this role. Hope we see her Jennifer Kale back in the MCU soon!
I only know her from Home Economics. I didn't recognize her until she got the long hair in episode 3 I believe it was. I watched her in that sitcom but that's the only thing I know her from.
I find it interesting how some people are annoyed with Alice's ending - But isn't it meant to be annoying? Because life isn't always fair. So I do like that at least she went out with purpose albeit too soon.
I'm assuming you mean it's annoying that she died protecting someone who was happy to kill her. I agree it's supposed to be annoying and confirms Agatha as the villain. I'm glad they didn't try to redeem her. She wasn't a good person, although there was a sliver of humanity in her because of being a mother, which led to her sacrificing herself for Billy.
Alice's death feels heartbreaking bc she died right when her life would be about to begin. Lilia's death felt like a proper closure so it was bittersweet and fulfilling. But at least she died knowing how much her mom loved her and knowing that she defeated the curse that took her family away from her
At its core, this is a show about death in all its forms. While I was sad at the time and still am, because I liked her character, there was purpose within the story to her death. It wasn't done for shock value, it was done to both show us things about Agatha and about the overall theme.
I also somewhat wonder if that is what Alice wanted at the end of the road. She may have been blipped by Thanos only to come back and be imprisoned by Wanda's grief, and prior to that she was alone if I'm not mistaken. And in Agatha she's obliviously walking down an underground road, maybe she wanted death by then.
The absolute BEST costume reveal ever. Wiccan looks phenomenal!! And all the Easter eggs in his costume are insane! Let's just say, the designer confirmed that both Wanda and Vision are represented and always with him in his suit. And I cannot wait to see tomorrow's reaction to episode 9!!!
That's what I thought too, the road change to Billy subconscious mind, even he doesn't know it. Even when he said he wish Lilia was there, the path pop up and they were at the right entrance to agatha and Billy. And he's always the one to start the trail.
Love that you guys caught on to Agatha’s act. Rewatching this series with the context from the end makes me really see Kathryn Hahn’s incredible acting throughout this show
It is so sweet of you to say “thanks peaches for being patient”, but the truth is, you absolutely deserve to take time off for you & your families to be together. Enjoy those little moments that become big memories. That’s what it’s all about.
i’ve seen some pretty mixed takes mostly leaning positive on this episode, i loved it. rio and agatha have insane chemistry. kathryn and aubrey’s acting choices just completely elevate the story of their relationship beyond what’s there in the writing. aubrey just eating up her performance as death oh my god the delivery of ‘im sorry i didn’t have a ribbon for you to run through’ has been stuck in my head for days
there are several hints to Billy making the road throughout the show but one of the ones that goes under the radar is that Sharon (in ep 2?) says the only thing she thought they'd find down on the Road was the unused subway system of Westview. In ep 7, Jenny and Lilia see the "Way Out" and its to an abandoned subway station. The road was both real and not real. Billy used the existing subway system to manifest the road upon
It wasn't a green screen. That was a practical, painted set, like Wizard of Oz. You can see it in the behind the scenes video. They didn't use the Volume or anything.
Just before they realise they've gone full circle Billy says "We're back to square one". He's literally making it up as he goes, he just doesn't know it.
I like how they doubled down on the Agatha is a selfish person down to the very end. Even when she wanted to do good and die so Billy could live, her instincts made her take advantage of his self sacrifice. It wasn't until he guilt tripped her that she actually went thru with it and accepted Deaths kiss.
Finally, someone realises that Agatha's "con artist persona" is controlling her. She's been doing it so long, she has to actively force herself to be herself...
Agatha deal with death was if she got Billy to surrender she didn't want to see deaths face when she died, meaning Agatha wouldn't have to crossover if she chooses not to
I've got to be honest, I thought it was funny the first time. Now it's starting to seem like pandering. Normally this kind of thing would be edited out. You don't just keep dead air in a video.
He's a reality-warper. It all happened: the places they went to, the deaths, and the others getting exactly what they wanted. The Road is said to give witches what they want and he believed that, so the Road was made into reality, made up of stuff in his and the other's minds. He made an actual wish fulfillment world!
@@TheFiddleFaddle Which is weird, because when they released the list of films that inspired the finale, TUS wasn't on it! But maybe that would have been too much of a spoiler, even if the article was released after the finale aired...
listen, i checked youtube religiously for this reaction, middle of doing something, i see this posted, and scream to my fiance to get in here, its go time lmaoooooo
I've been WAITING for thisssss, LFG! PS: JAY please tell me you didn't cough that the Buffy musical is overrated? Say it ain't so Jay, say it ain't so. 🥺🥺🥺
And that, ladies and gentlebeings, is why even the Cosmic Entities (Eternity, Galactus, Death etc.) in the comics are always very, very polite to William Maximoff.
According to the world bank, on average, 120 people die every minute (120.9, but an integer makes more sense). However, 301 people are born every minute.
Your reaction was worth the wait! Hope you had a good Halloween! "Am I killing this boy so my brother can live?" "No Billy, sometimes boys die" Those two lines are absolutely heart wrenching. The SCREAM I Iet out when Agatha kissed Rio/Agatha was so loud I'm surprised my entire apartment complex didnt hear me and someone didn't come knocking on my door. Kathryn Han the woman that you are, first person to show her bare butt on screen and her and Aubrey to share the first female/female on screen kiss in the MCU. (Run ways isn't part of the MCU officially and the kiss between Dottie/Peggy doesnt really count either in Agent Carter) Billy drove to Westview so it would make sense he left in the car. Plus after giving a good bit of his power to Agatha and being thrown around by Death the boy was tired. Jay, sir, you are pushing your luck with that comment about Buffy. Thin ice! I'm so looking forward to seeing your reaction to the last episode!!
First, I too love Kale. She cut a matte painting background not even a green screen. The effect of her cutting reality was hollywood cool for a cheap as fuck cost. I think the future of the MCU on TV is these smart affordable shows which maximize good content at good cost so disney keeps making them.
I nee more Aubrey Plaza in the MCU, but also what a wonderful shift of the trope of the MCU final act. Also that was a practical set she cut through, not a green screen. It's such a clever way to do that instead of the high CGI. But the entire Witch's road is practical!
My biggest takeaway from this episode of pReview'd that i dont think enought people are talking about is..........JAY THINKS BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER IS OVERRATED! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SA...........WHAT! TO QUOTE BUFFY......'LIE TOO MEEEEEE' lol
Aubrey Plaza has always been scary hot, but cackling hysterically on top of a house was another level. Agatha's coy body language & behaviour on the witches Road from episode 3 onwards was quite subtle and ambiguous like she was observing and waiting.
Oh gosh the fact it took me until watching this reaction to realise that the next episode is going to be absolutely devastating to dear Jay 😭 I know I was a sobbing mess 😭 Also that was an actual knife to the set! Jac said it was intentional for a number of reasons ❤
5:00 -- It's aesthetically similar to how in the mid/post-credit of DS:MoM they had Clea similarly "cut" reality so as to travel to whatever dimension(s). (Also, fun fact: the set of The Witches' Road was wholly practical: there wasn't a "green screen", as such, but the actual "screen"/background that Rio/Aubrey cut into; it's similar to how, for instance, the imagery of the beach, various houses, etc, on the road were visible images to the actors on the set and not just greenscreen'd in post -- shows like ST:SNW do similarly, albeit with a different tech approach, wherein the actors on the set actually see all the distant backgrounds that we the audience do, via on-set screens that create "x" imagery.) Also, In Re: Agatha's "sincere" voice vs her "making it up" voice later on -- the thing is, if you look back not only over AAA but also WandaVision, you'll see that when Agatha is sounding her most sincere/credible/what-have-you, *THAT'S* when she's actually being her most manipulative. In whatever moment, she may indeed even be speaking/using the truth but it's always with an end-goal of getting her way/ultimately deceiving others (again, whether what she's saying is a lie -- like when she promised Wanda that she (Agatha) would correct Wanda's hex so that the boys/Vision would be okay, but then later admitted that there was no way to do that; or when speaking to Billy as she did when she said "it should be me", which is indeed true but her saying such so as to emotionally manipulate Billy into offering himself so as to complete the deal Agatha made with Rio, etc -- or the truth, she's at her "worst" when she seems her most sincere/helpful). Minor spoiler, but you'll have already seen "x" by the time you've posted this: even Agatha taking in some of Rio's power (which killed her, as was expected), she still for that moment had some of Death's magic and is implied to have utilized it for a particular ploy... which we see at the end here and more so in the next episode.
Love when you said "thats her making up stuff voice" bc absolutely. Billy was about to give himself up, which was what Rio needed him to do. Turning on her evil persona made him second guess himself. But then would she really have left him there? I don't think we're supposed to know and that's ok. That's not the choice she made in the end. And then Billy "im not that nice" Maximoff effectively manipulating her into sacrificing herself for him? Wild. This scene puts them both in such interesting conflict. Great reaction guys!
I really appreciated the opening scene. My uncle beat cancer and then a year later died from a car accident. Death really doesn't care that you had plans and was the main character of your story and that is just the way it is.
fun (and super upsetting) fact: the line "I think I'll miss you most of all" was left over from a deleted love story sub plot between Dorthy and Scarecrow. They decided to leave out that interspecies (is a sentient scarecrow a species?) love story after already shooting a bunch of the scenes.
5:00 its also showing just how powerful Rio is as well, she can casually go in and out Billy's hex without any problems, and the next scene we see is them three witches not knowing how to get off the road. smart play by the writer.
Rio slicing into the backdrop was a cool way to hint at it all being fake. She knew the road didn't exist until the 16 year old son of Scarlet Witch manifested it subconsciously with his chaos magic. Everything that happened on the road was real, but how they all got there was all Billy's doing.
Agatha can't bring herself to do it without sounding sarcastic, but as soon as she realises that Kale is doing an unbinding ritual, Agatha doesn't resist and actively encourages her (while sounding sarcastic). And then when it starts working, Agatha doesn't interrupt, doesn't say anything. Just waits until Jennifer's free.

lol agreed.

They were celebrating Halloween! Reactions worth watching for
@@GladtoberanDOMyes but I’m selfish and I wanna see my boys
@@milesspence6004 Exactly. Feed me. Gimme gimme gimme.
The ‘cheap’ effect of Rio, leaving the road is a deliberate clue. It’s a clue to the ‘fake’ nature of the road.
They are under the basement 😅😅

And also that there's no one to love him... like, he was dying and no one would even care that much. Heartbreaking. No kid should have this type of life, but it's more common than we even know
We had Marc's mother in Ep5 of MK too.
Fr I thought Agatha choking the twins in WandaVision was bad but now there’s a child straight up being murdered by his peers.
Also Billy panicking and saying he isn't safe, there's no one to love him - it just really broke my heart.
I hope when we get to finally meet Tommy, Billy will give these boys some good spanking. In Visionquest I presume.
Wanda created her Westview reality out of grief, tapping into her favorite shows that brought her happiness. I think when the Salem 7 scared the bejesus out of Billy, he created The Road out of pure fear and tapped into all the comforting things from his bedroom. I think most kids feel safest in their bedrooms, so my theory makes sense to me at least. lol
This is such a great theory! It definitely makes sense.
@@texasyankee7774Thank you! 🩵
Reminds me of Labyrinth too, with all the things in her room being part of the labyrinth.
So we're all ready for Jay to weep next episode, right?
HE IS GOING TO BE A WRECK
He will break
Big time
I literally watched that episode thinking “Oh man, big guy is gonna cry big time.”
I bet 1k
Rio literally cutting through the set to leave is so great. Such a brilliant way to of showing Rio’s power to literally cut through reality, and the road’s artifice with a practical set.
It was such a double win move. It showed that she can cut the fabric of reality easily since she's Death, but also that the Road was fake.
@@heyitsmira17 Oh man, good point. Because she knows too. Yet another tell that none of us even clocked at the time.
@@TheRavenfish9 Like last episode (or this episode? time is an illusion) when Rio said something like "You're walking with another woman's son down a road that doesn't...." and we all thought she meant "doesn't end" but of course she meant "doesn't exist."

Hopefully alongside Man-Thing like she is in the comics.
Me too❤
Yeah, she'd be great with the monster boys from werewolf by night.
I knew she was funny, but she’s got some serious acting chops
I only know her from Home Economics. I didn't recognize her until she got the long hair in episode 3 I believe it was. I watched her in that sitcom but that's the only thing I know her from.
The look of Death when she turned to Billy.......ooooooooh so gooooood. Definitely resembled so of the looks of her in the comics
I find it interesting how some people are annoyed with Alice's ending - But isn't it meant to be annoying? Because life isn't always fair. So I do like that at least she went out with purpose albeit too soon.
It's very bittersweet

AMAZING writing
Sir, Buffy slander will not be tolerated. Iconic and ground breaking. You are on notice.
I also was like How dare you! Buffy is unmatched and iconic. Do not go there.
@@ReaganHamilton-m1q you know Adam left that in on purpose just to get Jay in trouble.
Thank you!
Well said I left a similar comment lol
Dude, this is the first time I've disagreed with Jay. I dont know what to do.
"I'm Robert. And I'm Vanessa!" 😂😂😂😂 Priceless, guys!
They returned to the beginning of the road right after Billy said, "we're back to square one." 🤔 Billy's mind is INSANELY powerful.
Agatha knowing he is making it all in his head too but can’t just straight tell him which is why she’s so mad makes it so much better.
@Byronic19134 And her not telling him is why he's so angry with her at the end. It's such a well-constructed story.
That's what I thought too, the road change to Billy subconscious mind, even he doesn't know it. Even when he said he wish Lilia was there, the path pop up and they were at the right entrance to agatha and Billy. And he's always the one to start the trail.
I mean yeah, if he has even fraction of the Scarlet Witch's powers, a locally contained reality bending of this scale should be within expectation.
Love that you guys caught on to Agatha’s act. Rewatching this series with the context from the end makes me really see Kathryn Hahn’s incredible acting throughout this show

The posters in his room sum up the entire series -- The Wizard of Oz, Once More with Feeling, The Craft, and Saw.
It's also the end credits sequence... all things found in Billy's room.
When she calls you a coward, ***HIT THE DECK!!!***

Hearing Vision and Wanda talking to the boys made me cry.
Tommy in a house, unloved made me cry.
gat dang it, agatha!
Getting to rewatch the reveals and twists through your facial rollercoasters was great :D
Did Jay just douche-sneeze Buffy?!?! THIN ICE YOUNG MAN 😤
Can someone please give a big fuzzy bear for Jay to be able to hug during episode 9? I am worried.
I'd KILL to see you react to Joe Locke in Heartstopper!!🍂
I have been waiting for you two, my loves. My favourite reaction channel
I need the finale reaction NOW 🤧
most surprisingly good marvel shows to ever exist ever
i hope you guys got that Rio tearing the set is a foreshadow for the explanation at the end of the episode 8 lol
your reactions are the best! worth the wait
LMAO omg I love my fellow Critters so much, we all had the same reaction to that scene “…uh, Caduceus?”
I luv that I wasn't the only one that was like, did he just 'drive' away.
These last 2 episodes were so good! In my opinion this show belongs at the top with the greatest! You’re guys reactions are amazing and so heartfelt
This show is so well written.
Jennifer Kale, cousin of the ghost rider. Maker of headpool.
fun (and super upsetting) fact: the line "I think I'll miss you most of all" was left over from a deleted love story sub plot between Dorthy and Scarecrow. They decided to leave out that interspecies (is a sentient scarecrow a species?) love story after already shooting a bunch of the scenes.
Been looking forward to this.😊
5:00 its also showing just how powerful Rio is as well, she can casually go in and out Billy's hex without any problems, and the next scene we see is them three witches not knowing how to get off the road. smart play by the writer.
Rio slicing into the backdrop was a cool way to hint at it all being fake. She knew the road didn't exist until the 16 year old son of Scarlet Witch manifested it subconsciously with his chaos magic. Everything that happened on the road was real, but how they all got there was all Billy's doing.
Did Jay just strike me through the heart and say Buffy was overrated?
Agatha can't bring herself to do it without sounding sarcastic, but as soon as she realises that Kale is doing an unbinding ritual, Agatha doesn't resist and actively encourages her (while sounding sarcastic).
And then when it starts working, Agatha doesn't interrupt, doesn't say anything. Just waits until Jennifer's free.
Watching youtubers reaction is the closest I can get to watching Agatha All Along for the first time again.
That reveal that it was Billy All Along was epic.
