I loved it! It had such a great start! I just hope it doesn't get judged based off previous projects from Marvel! I enjoyed your reaction and your channel is so incredible!
I love that the show is using a similar formula to Wanda Vision and we get to explore different popular cinematography, love Aubrey Plaza, and love the end credits that shows a time capsule of witch culture.
It's intriguing. I'm wondering if Aubrey's character is a shapeshifter, and she's on the road with them disguised as the rabbit. I'm also wondering if the spell that is keeping the "teen" from saying who he is affects just Agatha.
No, you gotta add five years later to that because after endgame in the very beginning of the movie, it says five years into the future five years had passed so anytime something new from Marvel comes out yet that add five years
@@Christian_Ada1 No it’s late 2026 or early 2027 when this show takes place is look it up and wandavision was after endgame so wdym add another five years to every marvel film
We all know that Agatha was under the influence of Wanda's enchantment at the end of Wandavision. So what we actually seeing at the start of this series is the POV of Agatha being Agnes - being emprisoned to someone's magic. Ang her neighbors are playing along ang humuoring her.
@@wilhelmhedin8845 yes and for loved one’s people getting married would exchange locks of hair and have something made with it but a lot was also for memorial pieces they would cut the hair off the body and have all sorts of stuff made like shrines pictures lockets the list goes on
I know that they say that ep. 1 is a spoof on some Danish show, but it seems clear to me that "Agnes of Westlake" is clearly, at least partly, a spoof of "Mare of Easttown", the award winning Kate Winslet crime drama. Kathryn is clearly being Mare here. Just look at the similarity of the show/episode names too.
They were pointing out that a lot of these crime shows are based on or adapted from Scandinavian media, but yeah it was pretty much Mare of Easttown based on the accents they were doing (since Westview is in NJ not Pennsylvania)
Yeah, it's definitely based on _Mare._ I think people are thinking of _Forbrydelsen (The Crime)_ (2007), a Danish crime drama with a female lead, which was remade for Americans as _The Killing_ (2011). There are also Turkish and American remakes.
Everybody assumes that there is a wolf in the middle of the street because the close-captioning says that there is a "wolf howl;" however, the actual howl is from a coyote standing in the street.
My theory is they took their shoes off because the Witches' Road is holy ground for witches. Also, when the "Chief" mentions the soil samples were from Eastern Europe, that's a reference to Sokovia, where Wanda and Pietro are from.
I thought Ref to Mt wundagore.. Where Wanda 'died' - Same as the author name Andrew Ugo = wundagore as the first darkhold spells were on the walls there.
@@annfran3543 thats what i thought too, and the burned part of the library and the guy saying every last copy was burned was a reference to the darkhold
The name of the author of the book Agnes/Agatha checks out is an anagram for Wundagore. Wundagore is where Wanda's shrine/temple was in Multiverse of Madness.
I can’t believe how hard this show kicks so far. It’s so, so awesome. Every actor is killing it, but Aubrey Plaza in particular is incendiary. Her chemistry with Kathryn Hahn is incredible.
Watch “Mrs Hart” be a low juice green witch the entire time, casually aware of what was going on but not powerful enough to be a player until walking the road. Could be how she could break character in WV season 1 to tell Wanda to “Stop it”
After episode 2: Yikes 😬😂 Also, she was telling Mr Hart to stop it, not Wanda. The scene plays out like Mr Hart is fooling around and pretending to choke and was laughing telling him to stop it.
@@jager3090 You're completely incorrect, thanks though. She was telling Wanda to stop it. Also yes, she's dead because they neglected to put her hair in the potion, but if you watched episode two, you'd know Sharon's flashback was centered around telling Wanda "Stop it, you're choking him" You're arguing now that she was telling the choking person to stop choking because "he" was choking "him" which.... Nope.
I love the show so far, and the best part is that there really isn't much in terms of lore from the comics for them to go off for Agatha herself, so Kathryn Hahn can really make the character her own. In the comics her backstory is pretty similar, being a witch from the Salem Witch Trials and fleeing Salem, but then she founds a new settlement in Colorado during the 17th century called New Salem that's still around in the modern day of the comics and was briefly a nanny for the Fantastic Four then later a tutor for Wanda Maximoff before she married Vision in the comics. I'm gonna stop there since afterwards it gets into potential spoiler territory.
@@talesyuki just saying a lot of people just buy lockets and just put pictures in them now. It's like the glove box in a car, it's still called that but you rarely see gloves in there.
@tonyjackson4078 i mean, i was confused too when she said it found it strange. Hair lockets are pretty common in popular culture and IRL. But maybe a lot of people have never geard about it.
fun fact: in Wanda vision Agatha's brooch depicts the three fates(figures in Greek mythology who represent the past, present and future) but i think for this show the design changed to depict the maiden, mother and crone. These represent the three important stages in a woman's life. maiden: coming of age, Mother: self explanatory and Crone: when a woman becomes elderly/old and has gained wisdom from the life they've lived. wondering if this has anything to do with the plot of the show and where its going? first time watching your channel btw loved your reaction.
i forgot to add that in multiverse of maddnes at the end when wanda destroyed the scarlet witch temple she also destroyed every copy of the dark hold(as in every single copy in every universe) so thats why in the beginning there a massive hole(and toasted books) taken out of the shelves at the library.
@@Seonghwa_is_MOTHER Even with the design change the brooch was never the Fates it was always Maiden, Mother, Crone in Witchcraft it's known as the Triple Goddess representing the three phases of Hecate the Goddess of magic, a Goddess that has been attached to Agatha since the 70's in Marvel Comics. More recently in the comics Wanda visited the road and met Agatha's spirit and her own mother and the three of them where empowered by Hecate for a while as the embodiment of the Triple Goddess, Wanda as the Maiden, her own mother as the Mother and Agatha as the Crone.
@@Querl_Dox thx for letting me know, this info was very interesting to read. I guess i never really looked before(I have a replica of the necklace and i didn't notice lol) edit: now I've had a closer look at my replica and i can confirm the design has changed but both versions do depict the maiden, mother, crone.
@@Seonghwa_is_MOTHER Glad to share the info here is a bit more if you feel like a tiny info dump lol, the Triple Goddess foundational belief from "real world" Witchcraft/Wicca/Occultism is also found in many fictional media about Witches for example the movie "The Craft" refers to "The Power of Three Times Three" or the Show "Charmed" who when originally created by Constance M.Burge based the show off of "real world" principals of Witchcraft the three sisters wield "The Power of Three" also represented by the Triquetra symbol both the name, symbol and the sisters themselves as a coven of three also all refers to the Triple Goddess of Magic, Hecate: Maiden, Mother, Crone.
I've only watched the first two episodes before coming here. I really think the kid knows much more than what he's letting on, and is doing a really good job masking himself. In fact, he may be the one behind Plaza's witch.
I wonder what Sharron’s thing she “most wants” if she makes it to the end that is. I hope she does. It would be really sweet if her husband comes back but I think it be cool if by the end she wants to be a witch and she becomes one because she made it the end.
Idk why people hate on this show, it has interesting set design and Agatha seems pretty interesting so far. And yes I am a marvel hater but I don’t hate this
Episode 2 was so strange, I am digging this so...Debra Joe Rupp gonna be a favorite 😊emme would you travel the road yourself. You would be perfect with that kick ass hair 🔥 looking forward to your instinctive guesses 😊
The fake car was what she had been using when she thought she was driving around places. It never happened just like how she was never a detective. That’s why the teen was in her closet and not at the jail.
I’m happy you’re checking this out with the rest of the world. I doubt this show will give away anything you’ve yet to catch up on. You should be good. The show was written by Jac Schaeffer. She also worked on WandaVision. And you’re right: this show will end on the day before Halloween with the last two episodes. It’s hard to believe that you also reacted to Werewolf by Night about a year ago. The Octobers are gonna be watching that soon, and not long after that Wakanda Forever. On a side note, we’re gradually getting closer to Guardians Volume 3, Loki season 2, and Echo. Deadpool & Wolverine will be streaming soon, but you’ll need to watch more X-Men so you don’t spoiled by accident - at least all the way up to Deadpool 2.
Loving your hair...and everyone's internal monologe is external 😊😊😊 what is really going on ??? Its an Danish true crime series. Hilarious 😅😅 and that just episode 1.
I don't trust that bunny Senior scratchy in Wandavision the original was gonna have a scene in which it turn into its true form a demon and chased the kids around the cut the scene but is that bunny just a normal Bunny or is there a demon waiting for it five minutes of fame ...
Thanks for the reaction. I don’t have my Disney+ back yet. In a way I been waiting for Dr. Who season 15 part 2. But it don’t start till Christmas. About this show. I have see people not liking it. That are using the word (gay) about the show. From what you react to. I’m not See that. Good reaction Emme. Thank you.
I can't believe she hasn't figured out who the teen is yet the clues are right there anyway I think Aubrey Plaza just became my new favorite witch she's hot 🔥
Love Aubrey Plaza, and Kathryn Hanh is brilliant in the supernatural detective role. I knew that it wouldn't last, but I would have loved for the entire series to be like the first 20 minutes. Unfortunately I lost interest as soon as the tone shifted. I'll probably keep watching only beacuse of the two actresses.

A piece of hair is actually *the most* normal thing to guard in lockets afaik
Not so much in modern times, but with witches being hundreds of years old, they would have used them as intended.

Cool start to the show. Great reaction as usual.
YESS IM SO GLAD U REACTED TO THIS!
Once again, Aubrey Plaza just plays herself. I am here for that. :) I wonder if the 'pet' that she can't hear talk at times is one of Wanda's kids.
You mean it isn't obvious that it is Wicked? I know he doesn't have a headband on but you can't see it?
He says he's looking for power; maybe he's actually looking for his brother, or to get his mother back

Food for thought...
Salem Seven; Seven people.
Agatha's Coven; Seven People.
The brooch is Agatha's. She wears it in Wandavision.
Technically this takes place after DS:MoM
For at least one theory regarding Joe Locke's character, take a peek at the WandaVision Halloween program.
WandaVision takes place in 2023, so this is in 2026
Someone might have put a protection spell on him Wanda perhaps
