I smiled so hard my face almost split in half. "AND I KILLED SPARKY TOO!" And her cackle! "Agatha All Along" was just perfect. Hahn's always been good but man.

Until this episode I never really realized how traumatized Wanda is. She had to kill the love of her life to save the universe, then had him resurrected and killed in front of her.

Doom2020! posted:Sorry- might have worded that poorly. I'll try and only spoil the episode stuff to avoid black block but I really don't want to spoil anything for goons. I didn't mean that I wanted the bad guy to be Mephisto or Nightmare using an Agatha illusion rather than Agatha herself, rather I want Wanda to be the real reason behind all this and Nightmare/Agatha is just looking to manipulate her power and exploit her fragile state of mind. There's nothing I've seen that truly contradicts that take on things. We've seen several instance where Wanda has been presented with a choice between allowing something to disturb/change her sitcom reality and suppressing/ejecting it. She's gone for the latter every single time. She rewound time to keep Vision from seeing the Bee guy, booted out Monica, actively hidden things from Vision and ultimate expanded her fake reality to encompassing many more homes and businesses to save Vision. Whether Wanda consciously started the WandaVision world, isn't that relevant. We have seen her make multiple conscious choices to keep it going and make it grow because in the end she wants what she wants. Also, at this point, I'd just like to see some kind of Wanda/Vision/Darcy/Jimmy double-date camper road trip or something.

On top of that she had to see him all dismantled and not given a proper burial. That's a hell lot of trauma. Worst part is that it seems none of the other (the few ones left) Avengers noticed or gave any sort of emotional support. Edit: Rogers is gone, Tony is gone, Natasha is gone, Clint was dealing with his own issues, Banner barely knows her, Thor is dealing with his own trauma and barely knows her, Ant-man barely knows her. She's completely alone.

StrugglingHoneybun posted:Agnes doesnt wear her broach in scenes after the kids are born, and in her reveal, the kids are missing and she has it again. I think the kids were fake using broach magic and she has re-absorbed them into it She's not wearing in the "you want me to hold the babies" scene where she's in Jane Fonda Workout Gear, but she is wearing it late in the same episode when she offers to take the boys and Sparky on a walk, and again later when Sparky turns up dead. So it doesn't totally disappear after the kids are born, at least.

To be fair, "Hey, would you look at this weird, gross thing that's growing on my skin?" is actually a pretty good way to get somebody to hustle you out of their house. Agatha wanted the kids out of there because they'd keep pushing Mom to find Dad. Agatha wanted Wanda to be alone and kind of depressed. The kids being there worked against that so she came and got them. And then used the mole thing as part of a "sitcomy" way to get Wanda to want her and the kids out of there.

Okay I should be doing more productive things but I looked up as many "Ralphs" as I could find that exist in the Marvel Comics universe, and the list is incredibly thin. One of the only Ralphs that appeared more than once is Ralph Roberts, aka The Cobalt Man. He was an early X-Men villain, and apparently blew up and died in his second appearance in a Hulk comic. He's appeared in a grand total of eighteen comics since his first appearance in 1967, and it seems like he gets blown up in about half of them and then I guess by the time someone thinks to use him again, they forget he got blown up a few years prior. Agnes's husband Ralph is (I assume) not Cobalt Man. Pretty much every other Ralph (countless hapless police officers, the original Nova's dead uncle, a racist South African landlord, two different Hydra agents, an alcoholic whose corpse was used to resurrect Pip the Troll in the Infinity Gauntlet, one of Iceman's racist neighbors, a beat poet from an Ann Nocenti comic, a drunk driver who burned at the touch of the Man-Thing) appeared once and died in their only appearance. BUT. There is a character who fits into the hypothetical "sitcom actor" mold. Who has worked alongside Katherine Hahn. Who is kind of a Ralph. Who is known for long cons and died/faked his own death:  I would be fine with this casting for the non-Ralph role everyone is assuming "Ralph" is.

I'm still pretty sure that Agatha isn't the true villain, but it's gonna be Nightmare controlling her or working through her. Agatha likely accompanied Wanda when she went to free Vision, since we've seen a pair of feet in the footage that isn't accounted for. Then when Wanda brought Vision back, maybe through attempting to recreate the Mind Stone, she and Agatha used magic and something went wrong. Either Agatha was already not herself, or at this point when the world was created, evil Agatha was created too. But I think the key moment is definitely when Wanda went to free Vision where this world was created. And since we know this leads into Dr. Strange 2, I think the actual villain won't be stopped in this series, but Wanda will join Dr. Strange to go after the real villain because of what happened in this series, and potentially to rescue the twins. Since we know America Chavez is in the next Dr. Strange too, it makes a lot of sense for her to meet Billy and Tommy. Also yeah it's still Fox Quicksilver and he'll save the town from whatever the dick SWORD director has planned.

So does anyone have any theories about why in the intro to episode 7 Friday the tenth has a heart on it, similar to how in the first episode there was a heart on August the 23'rd? Because I'll admit I'm drawing a blank.

Theory I saw on twitter re:the shark commercial that may tie into next episode: The shark's surfboard is purple like Agatha and the kid is color-coded red, like Wanda. The shark "snacked on yo(ur)-magic!" and the kid withers as he doesn't have the strength to open up the yogurt (also red) or jello or whatever idk. It would also tie up with Agatha's basement being covered in roots (absorbing Wanda's power?)

I'd recommend going back and watching the last scene with Wanda and Vision in infinity war, they really sell how hard it is and you can see Wanda basically welcoming death when she gets snapped. It's crazy to think this is only four weeks later, and with the timing she basically immediately woke up and then went to find visions corpse dismembered. Also they really had to write around Vision and Wanda not loving Thanos and the Black Order up in that movie it's painfully obvious

Re: The moon buggy. Has anyone brought up the theory that the guys and gals who brought the buggy aren't actually, you know, people? What I mean by that is, they could all be Skrulls. Specifically Major Goodner or whatever her name is (the main SWORD lady we see) being Talos' daughter from the Captain Marvel movies. Would also kind of explain some things I think?

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet but is worth speculating on: Wanda's powers code to red and alter reality, while Vision's code to yellow and he can affect minds. Now we have Monica the astronaut with blue powers and Agnes with purple powers that manipulate other powers. Respectively they map perfectly to the Reality, Mind, Space and Power Stones. We also know Strange is coming, still with the powers related to the Time Stone. Which begs the question: where is the orange Soul Stone?

Phylodox posted:I’m open to being wrong about Agnes, but, honestly, I’m still not 100% convinced. It seems like such a jarring tonal and thematic left-turn to have there suddenly be a campy, mugging villain to the story. It kind of short-circuits the heart of the show. I think Agnes’ little ditty might be Wanda latching onto forcing Agnes into the villain role because that’s an easy answer and absolves her of any blame? Billy saying Agnes is “quiet inside” kind of makes me wonder if Agnes even exists at all, and isn’t somehow, like, a tangible expression of Wanda’s subconscious or something. I think this is entirely possible and very consistent with everything the show has shown us about how Wanda is in control of the hex reality and the people in it. With two episodes left I suppose we'll find out in the last 60 seconds of next weeks episode if you are right and then the final episode can be 'the real enemy is not moving on.

It's more likely that the next two episodes are about stopping Agatha and/or Hayward and the last five minutes or even the post-credit sequence is Nightmare/Mephisto/whoever's "I'll do it myself" moment.
