I will maintain that Agatha All Along is one of the best MCU series yet, but in the two-part finale I couldn’t help but feel a little let down by the conclusion of the so-called miniseries, which certainly didn’t. end as one.

There were strong elements in the final. The whole idea that the Witches’ Way was always a lie, concocted by Agatha for generations as a way to breed witches, was very… Agatha, and a nice twist (it really was… Agatha All along). Likewise, the revelation reveals that Billy manifested the whole factual The path to existence thanks to his Wanda-like powers is something I could get behind.

Ultimately, though, the show felt like it was right back where it started at the end, albeit with a few dead witches along the way.

Opening with Wanda’s corpse and a supposed resurrection of the MCU, the show failed to realize Billy’s ultimate goal of resurrecting his mother, who he apparently had no attachment to after the messed up events in Westview that he doesn’t fully remember. So the series ends without Wanda.

On the contrary, we are told that Billy Actually wants to find his twin brother Tommy. But we didn’t achieve that by the end of the series either. Instead, Billy finds a body for Tommy in the form of a dying teenager, but we already thought that was him had a body this whole time. The series ends with an ongoing search for Tommy, which is how the series ultimately began, and it didn’t feel like any progress was made.

Agatha’s story here was…strange. We flash back to the birth of her child, Nicholas, where she makes a deal with Rio Vidal/Death to save his life for an unknown amount of time. But as for the long-hinted at romance between the two, we’re not given any information about how exactly this started and how a witch and…literally Death became intertwined. I know a lot of people who wanted to see more of that romance were disappointed, despite the MCU-first “death’s kiss” moment we got near the end.

For a show that felt like it was a TV show, towards the end it felt like just another project that was supposed to lead straight into some unknown other Marvel projects. A Wiccan series, a Speed ​​series, a Wanda movie, who knows. Agatha ended up as… a ghost, which may seem a bit random, but it’s a reference to a comic storyline in which she becomes Wanda’s ghostly mentor. If we see her again in the future, I hope she… solidifies or comes back to life, because I’m not sure if the translucent version of her is supposed to last indefinitely.

I still love the series as a whole, and I liked the big “revelations” at the end. I just didn’t think the show delivered on its central promise of actually reaching a meaningful finale that made the dangerous Witches Road journey worth it. That’s disappointing, even if I’ll still ultimately rank the show high in the MCU catalog.
