Well, you brought up the possibility of someone else, maybe exerting some influence, with her brother who Wanda told Vision wasn't her doing. Someone maybe not as powerful but powerful enough to move about in the background. Perfect for someone like Agnes aka Agatha, who let's be real, no one would suspect, especially after Vision's encounter with her on Halloween. Who knew that was all an act
Agatha and Mephisto had been highly speculated by people, I was more on the Agatha side. It was really fun to watch all the reactions when this came out and seeing how people speculated before the reveals. Something I currently enjoy with Ahsoka, but I look forward to Emme catching up with the MCU too.
Well most comic book fans might of known long before the show even came out that she was playing the comic character Agatha harkens but in the comics she usually a bad guy but sometimes she like reformed and like a babysitter for the Wanda children and the fantastic four kids .m.. so there were alot of theories wiether sh was evil or not and if she was being controlled by Wanda or if her magic protected her and or if she was the actual one in control Also in the comics Wanda children are I believe are made from her magic but thier souls are like actually parts of some demons soul which doesn't seem to be the case in the MCU I think they just made from Wanda magic
Yeah this is where the comics kinda helped those fans and hurt the non comic fans. Comic fans kinda know what Wanda and Agatha Harkness relationship was in the comics. Non comic fans must have been like WTF, this is stupid.
So the reason Billy says that Agnes/Agatha is "Quiet...on the inside" is because unlike the rest of the town, Agnes is operating as her own person: there might be a script she can see, like a teleprompter in her mind, but she's doing everything of her own volition. The rest of the town is essentially constantly screaming to be let out, to be free, crying to have the puppet-like control over them end. Think about "Agatha All Along": if she was in control of her self that means she intentionally broke character in the 80's episode to ask about doing another take; she and the neighbor were having that 'over the fence' conversation about Wanda to start to make Vision question the reality; she sent Sparky and then killed him in order to get Wanda to start thinking more and more about Vision and Peitro's deaths, things she was actively trying to ignore; she made fake Pietro to ask Wanda questions about how the Hex was being made and controlled; she drove out to where Vision would be at Ellis Ave in order to plant the seeds of worry and doubt into Vision; she asked the "do you think you deserve it?" question to Wanda to further break Wanda's comfort in this reality Wanda is creating. There's probably even more little things that Agatha has had a hand in tweaking to figure-out what Wanda's doing and how.
@@OlmanWillo The first or second episode had the DIck Van Dkye show house, even the front door and furnature was pretty close, the Bewitched house and Brady Bunch house were pretty spot on. Those are shows I watched, the newer ones I could not tell as I was pretty busy in Europe and the Middle east.
Look I'm just gonna come right out and say it. Kat Dennings is literally the best part of this show. I want MORE Darcy in the MCU. We DESERVE MORE DENNINGS Ok little pretty easily overlooked detail (unless you've watched it a billion times, or have seen any of the MCU egg hunt videos) at 10:28 (video time (20:20 in-show time for anyone that wants to check themselves)) when Monica opens the hatch... she doesn't open the hatch... she clean forces it off the hinges. It doesn't open... that door goes FLYING. Which is a direct hint at how her DNA had been rewritten... twice... They planned on releasing a wandavision soundtrack that had Agatha All Along on it... but the song became so popular that they released it early. Kathryn Hann was such a perfect casting for Agatha. Just the entire casting was ON POINT. Most of their casting is just amazing. There are a few people I'd change around here and there, but it's so minor it'd make almost no difference. I can't wait for more Monica. I actually REALLY enjoyed the comics she was in. (I did stop reading comics in like... 2012, so I mean things like between her origin in Spiderman to New Thunderbolts era. Especially Warren Ellis. I just enjoyed his writing in general. NTB was fantastic imo)
It's so fun seeing people who don't know the Marvel characters react to things, like not knowing Monica is Photon and would get powers, or what the Darkhold is on sight. Like when Agnes said she was Agatha Harkness I gasped so loud and knew she was also a witch powerful enough to be controlling everything but Emme still thinks it's just Wanda lol.
This episode brings WandaVision up to the mockumentary period of television, which included programs like Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, and The Office (both in the UK and the US). Producers frequently conduct off-screen confessional conversations with characters. In one instance, the microphone attached to the chest of the Vision is even clearly visible. Some of the most memorable movie and TV songs in recent memory were written by Robert Lopez and Kristin-Anderson Lopez. In a recent interview, Anderson-Lopez talks about the spooky and bizarre classic sitcom influences that went into the making of "Agatha All Along." Surprise, surprise: The Munsters and The Addams Family served as major influences. Under her space suit, Monica is wearing an official uniform that resembles some of the clothes she has worn in the comics while portraying different superheroes, such as Captain Marvel. It's apt because this episode marks another significant turning point in her superhero origin tale and because there is no longer any doubt that she is developing powers as a result of her frequent visits to the Hex. The fact that Monica survived the Hex this time is probably due to her newly acquired abilities, as she was able to perceive energy patterns and signatures once she emerged. Monica's "Superhero Landing" was spectacular.
i think, in a world where some supes can teleport, it's possible to manipulate this story such that Vision is actually is an independent living being. Eg. his "essence" does the teleport thing at the moment of his "death", but into, say, the void .. and re-materialises in Wanda's fantasy wish-fulfilment (witch-fulfilment?) Vision.
The Bunny familiars name is Senor Scratchy...as in Nicholas Scratch...the son of Agatha Harkness. 😮 AGatha harkNESs = Agnes Agatha Harkness in the comics was Franklin Richards nanny. Franklin Richards is the son of Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four and she is in fact a witch. 🧹
Hey, Emme! A NEW HERO is born and AGNES is finally revealed! The sitcom being parodied this week is "Modern Family" complete with character interviews that put the audience into the role of documentarian. The title sequence is straight out of "The Office". A SWORD team loyal to Rambeau delivers the specially-designed vehicle to penetrate the Hex but the AEROSPACE ENGINEER remains a mystery. Vision unlocks Darcy's mind and they make their getaway from the circus punching out the SWORD strongman. Astrophysicist. Hacker. Welterweight, too? She remains PREPOSTEROUS! The commercial is a classic parody of anti-depressant pharmaceuticals that come with a laundry list of gruesome side effects. This one is called NEXUS. Is Wanda a nexus of multiple realities? The Marvel Comics Nexus is guarded by the Man-Thing in the Everglades! Agnes is babysitting the boys with Senor Scratchy when Wiccan expresses relief that her home is quiet. He can't hear the minds of the trapped Westview residents there but Agnes' mind is also quiet. Does this mean she has the ability to shield her thoughts from telepaths? Is the rabbit her transformed son from the comics, NICHOLAS SCRATCH? Monica's tank isn't quite up to snuff and gets rewritten into a pick-up whereupon she powers through the barrier and gets rewritten herself into an energy being. SPECTRUM has arrived and the electromagnetic spectrum is hers to see and manipulate! Darcy lays out the truth for Vision as they head to town but they're continually blocked by obstacles. Does Wanda want to delay the confrontation or is Agnes trying to isolate Wanda? I love how Vision walks out of the "Modern Family" interview! Agnes directs Wanda to the basement where she discovers a vine-choked, eldritch temple and the DARKHOLD! Agnes reveals herself as AGATHA HARKNESS, puts a spell on Wanda and reveals in a montage set to a "MUNSTERS"-like theme how she's been pulling Wanda's strings all along! She even killed Sparky! Lol. END-CREDIT SCENE: Undeterred by Agnes, Monica tries to get into the house by using the basement door. She detects the odd energy signature emanating from within but she gets stopped by Pietro! Is he MCU Pietro or Fox Pietro? Is he Agnes' servant or master? Is he Agnes' son, Nicholas Scratch, in human form? Is Agnes the BIG BAD or is she the agent of Mephisto or Nightmare aka "Ralph"? If so, is she a willing or unwilling participant? Where is the beekeeper? Who is the missing witness? Was Dottie identified as a resident? Is Westview actually NEW SALEM from the comics? Are we done with sitcoms? THE DARKHOLD is an ancient tome of magic and an item of incalculable power in the Marvel Universe sought covetously by magic-users and akin to the Lovecraftian Necronomicon. It has previously appeared on "Agents of SHIELD".
Vanda/Vision Has a Lot of Layers (And very Meta Moments) Also the commercial ''Nexus'' (Scarlet Witch'' Is Considered a Nexus Being...So is ''Kang the Conqueror"" ) I could bore you to tears with all that Comic nerd stuff lol... Anyway, The End of the Season Is Kinda Amazing and Makes the Show a lot clearer in some regards.
Amazing?! Could have been if they followed through and did something with Agatha, but just devolved into ordinary superhero stuff. Thought a lot of the speculation was more interesting than the actual show.
yea... the sad truth about anti depressants is they can amplify your depression and have lead many people to "unaliving themselves" as we have to say today. they didnt have these warnings untill like the 2000s
So excited to see next episode!!! Also excited for Hawkeye, make sure you wait until it’s close to Christmas to start it. You could maybe even watch it all during December. Love you eme
So this quicksilver is from the “Days of the future past” run of xmen movies, so he’s a variant technically. Also i love your reactions so much! And your bangs look great!! 😂😆
Pietro/Peter is a weird crossover with the X-Men Universe. They're both Quicksilver, but in the MCU he's Pietro Maximoff while in the X-Men Universe he's Peter Maximoff. They got the actor (Evan Peters) from the X-Men Universe to play Pietro/Peter here in the MCU.
Monica had her powers before the show even started. We see her with them throughout. She ripped the hatch open, tearing the titanium hinges like they were nothing. The hex may have enhanced her powers, but she is most likely a mutant. Her powers also probably manifested from the teseract radiation from hanging out with Captain Marvel. Those are just theories except for her already having powers. If she just got them, she would have shown some sought of surprise, I think. The Agatha Harkness reveal is great for most of the audience, but since I used to read Marvel comics years ago, I realized who she was by episode 3. They actually hid clues to who she was in a few earlier episodes that I did not pic up on. I read about it in comments from a different reaction channel. The MCU does a good job with easter eggs.
Emme, yesterday I thought you would post Falcon and Winter Soldier, giving your usual upload pattern. You didn't really post a schedulle, but I got confused. Was that really the plan, no video yesterday?
I believe she was ill when black widow came out (on patreon) so Black widow came out when TFATWS Ep 4 was supposed to come out but she put it back in it’s original spot on RUclips just so it wouldn’t cause more confusion. Hope that makes sense lmao
I thought that was weird too because I saw her schedule on Patron and it said Falcon and Winter Soldier was coming yesterday. I also saw her posting stuff on her other channel and streaming on Twitch so I don’t know the reason why.
Probably the most underwhelming reaction to the Agatha reveal I've seen. But I like that finally we have someone who didn't guess that Agatha was evil 5 episodes back so I'll take it.
This was a fun episode, though it's also the set-up for why many comic MCU fans felt really rugpulled, because... well, the production also admitted they intentionally rugpulled the comic fans. Which is kind of a shitty intention here as a narrative choice, since it was based on putting in suggestions that comic fans would know and be able to piece together, that intentionally were not supported by the less interesting resolution they actually delivered. *Vague but not really Spoilers* (because it never happens) Comic fans knew that Scarlet Witch was frenemies with Agatha Harkness, a witch that served a demon villain character in the comics named Mephisto. Mephisto's power is tied to chaos magic, but he's extra-dimensional, and can't directly physically interact with earth unless the dimensional barriers are weakened, which is something that happens the more chaos magic is used. In the comics, Agatha is sort of jiggly-poked in the noggin with a spell and made a background support character, like Alfred in Batman. She actually takes up the role of nanny, when in a mini series Scarlet Witch and Vision decide to leave the Avengers and move to a little suburbs area to live out a "normal" life as a retirement. They *have* twins, which are created by magic, that they name Tommy and Billy. Tommy and Billy later become members of the Young Avengers. The comic fan theory early on here was that Agatha, working for Mephisto, was trying to urge Wanda to use more and more of her chaos magic until the boundaries between dimensions weakened and Mephisto could come through. Comic fans theorized that Dottie, the "For the Children" organizer was actually Mephisto in shape-shifted astral projection, or perhaps using a possessed local. The actress playing Dottie was also the same actress from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, and her character Anya was a demon in that show. So the narrative would make sense that triggering events like killing Sparky to try to get her to resurrect him, or pushing Vision to exit the hex, would force Wanda to increase her power usage. Also there were a bunch of cut scenes and reshoots for the finale and Mr Scratchy (also a play on "Old scratch" for the Devil) but that's another story. After wrap, the show runner and production bragged that they'd cast Emma Caufield to play Dottie and put in lines like Agatha saying "she controls everything" as a false Easter egg, to suggest to fans that she might be playing Mephisto. They also highlighted that they put in scenes like Dottie tending to her flowers during the Monica/Wanda face-off in front of the house, with Dottie watching things and moving while everyone else within sight was frozen. So, a lot of people felt like the show would be great enough by itself... but why go out of your way to pump up your fanbase based on their knowledge of the characters if you have nothing deeper written to make the pay off more interesting? Seemed kind of mocking and bad spirited. Personally I have always been a huge Monica Rambeau fan and was kind of let down that they changed the timeline and didn't have her be the focus of the movie, since she was comics canonically the first Captain Marvel, so the post blip origin story here for me was welcome. I'd also said I hoped they'd cast Teyonah Paris either for Monica or for Storm years back, so I loved seeing her in the role. I would have been fine with 8 episodes centered on her.
Agnes who woulda THUNK
Even tho most people had assumed it was her when it was releasing, it was still such a shock lol. This show was amazing!!
Well, you brought up the possibility of someone else, maybe exerting some influence, with her brother who Wanda told Vision wasn't her doing.

Also in the comics Wanda children are I believe are made from her magic but thier souls are like actually parts of some demons soul which doesn't seem to be the case in the MCU I think they just made from Wanda magic
Yeah this is where the comics kinda helped those fans and hurt the non comic fans. Comic fans kinda know what Wanda and Agatha Harkness relationship was in the comics. Non comic fans must have been like WTF, this is stupid.
You skipped over in the edit one of my favourite bits of the episode.
"I promise I won't bite"
"I actually did bite a kid once"
The "and I killed sparky too" it's what gets me
@Anonymous_Magician which is a refeeence to the Wizard of Oz, "And your little dog too!"
To quote Malekith from Thor the Dark World, "WITCH!"

There's probably even more little things that Agatha has had a hand in tweaking to figure-out what Wanda's doing and how.
Agatha's house is literally the house from Bewitched, the 60's sitcom based on a witch.
One version of Wanda's house was exactly like the Bewitch house as well
@@ghstdnsr the Wanda house from that era was the Dick Van Dyke show if I remember correctly.
@@OlmanWillo The first or second episode had the DIck Van Dkye show house, even the front door and furnature was pretty close, the Bewitched house and Brady Bunch house were pretty spot on.

Agatha Harkness has been around since 1970 and a pretty powerful character in the Marvel universe.
And usually a good guy lol
And becomes Wanda's mentor in the comics
"There's no one around. Who cares about traffic laws?" This kind of thinking is a sure way for you to get arrested, young lady.
The good ol' "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
now that the cat, err bunny's out of the bag, Agatha Harkness is an established Marvel character. stay tuned for her back story.
16:19 I love the way Emme said '...what?' 😂😂
I love how throughout the show you've been constantly asking the right questions, even when you can't answer them
🙌

Their is end credit scenes for some of these later episodes. Major important end credit scenes!
thats why i keep saying its important to read the comics...
Hello Emme from the past
Thanks, Emme! 📺 The "Agatha All Along" song is the best!!! MUNSTERS theme vibes. #EmmeReacts #Marvel #WandaVision
It's played as a joke but more than a few antidepressants can make depression worse. Speaking from experience here.
yea... the sad truth about anti depressants is they can amplify your depression and have lead many people to "unaliving themselves" as we have to say today. they didnt have these warnings untill like the 2000s
So excited to see next episode!!! Also excited for Hawkeye, make sure you wait until it’s close to Christmas to start it. You could maybe even watch it all during December. Love you eme
It was Agatha All Along.
So this quicksilver is from the “Days of the future past” run of xmen movies, so he’s a variant technically. Also i love your reactions so much! And your bangs look great!! 😂😆
It´s still a bob tho Agatha ALL ALONG
Su'c'dal idiation is a side effect of anti-depressants unfortunately. Which is what thw commercial was referencing.
Pietro/Peter is a weird crossover with the X-Men Universe. They're both Quicksilver, but in the MCU he's Pietro Maximoff while in the X-Men Universe he's Peter Maximoff. They got the actor (Evan Peters) from the X-Men Universe to play Pietro/Peter here in the MCU.

Yes that was the plan
Agatha Harkness is from the comics.
I read that in Ryan George Producer Guy voice XD
Probably the most underwhelming reaction to the Agatha reveal I've seen. But I like that finally we have someone who didn't guess that Agatha was evil 5 episodes back so I'll take it.
What is fun about these reactions is seeing someone so far off base and the script flips on them,
I'm sorry you cut your own bangs. They don't look bad, but I have heard that is a rough situation for a gal to be in.
This was a fun episode, though it's also the set-up for why many comic MCU fans felt really rugpulled, because... well, the production also admitted they intentionally rugpulled the comic fans. Which is kind of a shitty intention here as a narrative choice, since it was based on putting in suggestions that comic fans would know and be able to piece together, that intentionally were not supported by the less interesting resolution they actually delivered.
*Vague but not really Spoilers* (because it never happens)
Comic fans knew that Scarlet Witch was frenemies with Agatha Harkness, a witch that served a demon villain character in the comics named Mephisto. Mephisto's power is tied to chaos magic, but he's extra-dimensional, and can't directly physically interact with earth unless the dimensional barriers are weakened, which is something that happens the more chaos magic is used. In the comics, Agatha is sort of jiggly-poked in the noggin with a spell and made a background support character, like Alfred in Batman. She actually takes up the role of nanny, when in a mini series Scarlet Witch and Vision decide to leave the Avengers and move to a little suburbs area to live out a "normal" life as a retirement. They *have* twins, which are created by magic, that they name Tommy and Billy. Tommy and Billy later become members of the Young Avengers.
The comic fan theory early on here was that Agatha, working for Mephisto, was trying to urge Wanda to use more and more of her chaos magic until the boundaries between dimensions weakened and Mephisto could come through.

So the narrative would make sense that triggering events like killing Sparky to try to get her to resurrect him, or pushing Vision to exit the hex, would force Wanda to increase her power usage. Also there were a bunch of cut scenes and reshoots for the finale and Mr Scratchy (also a play on "Old scratch" for the Devil) but that's another story.
After wrap, the show runner and production bragged that they'd cast Emma Caufield to play Dottie and put in lines like Agatha saying "she controls everything" as a false Easter egg, to suggest to fans that she might be playing Mephisto. They also highlighted that they put in scenes like Dottie tending to her flowers during the Monica/Wanda face-off in front of the house, with Dottie watching things and moving while everyone else within sight was frozen.
So, a lot of people felt like the show would be great enough by itself... but why go out of your way to pump up your fanbase based on their knowledge of the characters if you have nothing deeper written to make the pay off more interesting? Seemed kind of mocking and bad spirited.
Personally I have always been a huge Monica Rambeau fan and was kind of let down that they changed the timeline and didn't have her be the focus of the movie, since she was comics canonically the first Captain Marvel, so the post blip origin story here for me was welcome. I'd also said I hoped they'd cast Teyonah Paris either for Monica or for Storm years back, so I loved seeing her in the role. I would have been fine with 8 episodes centered on her.
