I really like the idea of Death being also the one and only Greenwitch. Something they created for the show but I think it's perfect for her. she wants the balance between life and death, she knows if something dies some other things can grow, like the death of Agatha but the flowers and mushrooms starts to grow above her body.
Oh boy. I've avoided this show because this very subject stabs so very close to home. If I could have begged someone for more time with my son, I absolutely would have, too. As it stands, I will just hope that I can one day either be with someone who has kids or maybe even adopt one day. We'll see where life takes me. Thank you, Jono, for covering this topic. Being an invisible mother is so much more difficult than many realize.
I have been waiting for you to analyze Agatha!! Cinema Therapy is the reason I watched WandaVision and then I was so excited when Agatha All Along was released!
I watched this and by the end... I felt like we knew each other's center 'Well 'o Strength'. That's what I call it. It's the thing that keeps me surviving against the odds (literally I should be dead) and it can really hurt to have that Well. But my life was different.
Agatha All Along was a fantastic show that made me go through all the feelings…. I fully believe any loving mother would always want more time with their child, if they knew the child would not live a long and happy life. I can’t fault Agatha for that. I think the person that moved the needle of Agatha being a better human the most was Billy. He became a pseudo son to her and she longed for him to really be Nicholas.
It was eye-opening, seeing Agatha's backstory; she became a sympathetic villain, similar to Thanos. I'm not sure Nicky needed a different father; since Death is a personification, there's no reason it couldn't manifest as a male as much as a female. The Rio persona was how Death related to Agatha. I'm also interested in what you think of Billy; how did he handle what he went through, how he took accountability for what he did on the Witches' Road. There's also a family matter that may be worth examining (spoilers follow): One of the issues people had with Wonder Woman '84 was Diana's involvement with Steve while he inhabited someone else's body; that person was seen as a victim of abuse at Diana's hands (though I doubt she intended that). Billy isn't in the same situation that person was, but he's not William Kaplan either. While I don't think he's been inconsiderate or selfish in not telling William's parents what happened to him, Billy is being dishonest. I would like to see that plot thread pulled a bit more (maybe in Vision Quest?) (I don't think Marvel mis-stepped with this the way DC did, but it's not been addressed as far as I know.)
It's the last episode. The second to last episode has a very season finale feel to it, so I could see thinking the show was over without realizing there's a whole episode left.
I’ll be facing the scariest time in my life in time , I’ll be losing my mother …. I know I can’t reverse it or stop it …. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone even those close to me who have hurt me badly beyond repair ,,, I know when that time comes I will be forever changed I won’t be the person I was ,,,, my wounds will be open but I’ll heal revealing the scars of the hurt on my forever changed heart , because I know I’ll never share a bond with anyone else and the only person that will ever understand me in my whole life , I’ll be walking this daunting world alone …. Forever changed forever more , but with love and peace not hate … 🙂
I have no one in my life that I can ask so I'm asking you because I know you do this kind of thing. Sorry if its the wrong place but I need help from somewhere. How do let go of the sense of worthlessness that someone left me feeling because they treated my like I was worthless? I can't seem to get over that. I saw this person as a spiritual leader and I had feelings for him and he treated me like I was a piece of trash and basically punished me for not being good enough by giving me the silent treatment. He messed up my spiritual life, my love life, my emotional life, my mind. I just don't know how to come back from that. I feel broken. Please, how can I navigate this?
I compare her to Alpha/Dee from the series The Walking Dead. To be frank, I stopped feeling sorry for either of them. They both were gaslighting abusive women who didn't deserve their kids love. Agatha is less sympathic to me than a lot of villians, she constantly backstabs and sabotages people, she even did such to Lady Death. I'm glad I watched the series but tbh, both the murderous wrenches get a big ol no sympathy from me. Even if in their own minds they were doing the best thing. The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all. I mean, I don't feel bad for male villians either who are like this, its a equal opportunity no sympathy.
Came here looking for Gilmore Girls gets Therapized 😞. Why this analysis of other TV shows goes to other day? I don't want to be a pessimistic, but at this pace we will never get to the season seven. Or the One yaear in life.
Someone on the last Gilmore Girls episode just complained that there was too much Gilmore Girls being covered. This channel is great for Jono to be able to explore multiple options that he may not get to cover on Cinema Therapy (for good reasons). I personally think it's great to see a variety of TV shows and other mental health topics be covered, and trust that he'll get around to covering what he can 😁.
If you therapized each of the characters in this show individually, it would not be a waste of time. Do Lilia (Patti LuPone) next!
Agatha All Along has one of the most unique interpretations of death I've ever seen!!!
You should watch Sandman! There’s an episode where he visits his sister, Death, and she reminds me of this version. I really love both.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother when I was 11 and he was 16. I remember how it affected my mom.
@jenniefelix2283 I'm so sorry for your and your mom's loss, as well. Losing loved ones is always so difficult, no matter the age or relationship 💙.
The book is called "The Darkhold"
Thank you for covering this series. I love it so much!
Aubrey Plaza was just so perfectly cast in this
I have been waiting for you to analyze Agatha!! Cinema Therapy is the reason I watched WandaVision and then I was so excited when Agatha All Along was released!
Thank you very much! I asked for this on the Cinema Therapy channel 💜

I love Agatha All Along Show so it makes you me happy you talk about the show thank you.

Man, I saw this entire series, but I never saw this episode where her son dies or where she made the song with him. How did I miss that whole episode?
Pretty sure it was the second to last one
It's the last episode. The second to last episode has a very season finale feel to it, so I could see thinking the show was over without realizing there's a whole episode left.
How can you have forgotten the name of "The Darkhold" ? Your Marvel card is revoked sir! :)
I’ll be facing the scariest time in my life in time , I’ll be losing my mother …. I know I can’t reverse it or stop it ….

I'm begging you either on this channel or on cinematherapy you have to do arcade league of legends season 2
I know y'all did S1 now do S2
She is just a villain! In the best way possible! It was Agatha All Along.

A comment to appease The Mighty Algorithm.
