Therelease ofAgatha All Alongcontinues Agatha Harkness' journey in the MCU, as she is now determined to get her powers back after being trapped in a spell by Scarlet Witch for nearly three years.
InAgatha All Alongepisodes 1 and 2, there were multiple nods to Scarlet Witch, to which a lot of MCU fans had strong reactions, especially following Wanda Maximoff’s death inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Check out several examples below:
@itsjustanxfelt the “EVIL WITCH” graffiti, as well as showing Wanda’s headpiece, was a sign of"they HATE hate her."
@ScarletWitchUpdadded that"this is nasty business"for the graffiti to label the Scarlet Witch as an evil witch.
@hannaeelizwas astonished that someone had gone to the lengths of adding"evil witch written on this foundation???“while reacting with a clip of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda crying inWandaVision.
In a follow-up tweet,@hannaeelizadded that Wanda"hasn’t done anything evil in her entire life,“despite how theAgatha All Alongcharacters view her.
@lizzieonfilmreferred to Wanda as"this cutie?“when seeing the “Evil Witch” call-out in theAgatha All Alongpremiere.
@AamirPheekept it short and sweet with a simple, sad emoji, while including the shot of “Evil Watch” and Scarlet Witch being emotional.
@bewitchedwandacommented that"this is who they’re calling an evil witch,“while still being"afraid to call her by her name.”
@lizziescoven_gave a detailed reaction byreferring back to Steve Rogers' speech inCaptain America: Civil Warwhile also including a reference to a deleted scene fromAvengers: Age of Ultronwhere he was getting similar reactions from citizens, showing howAgatha All Alongis mirroring that concept for Scarlet Witch.
@VasilIliev21couldn’t believe that"this is the evil witch in question"after seeingAgatha All Along’scommentary on Wanda’s actions.
What Agatha All Along’s Fan Reactions Mean
Ever since Wanda’s death inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,a large portion of MCU fans have made it clear that they were not happy with the direction of Olsen’s character afterWandaVision. If anything is clear from the reactions toAgatha All Alongepisodes 1 and 2, it’s evident that many do not look at Scarlet Witch’s actions inWandaVisionas evil, as Wanda’s spell was a result of her grieving the loss of Vision. Despite the villainous path that she takes inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, many, rightfully so, look at her trajectory as part of Wanda’s grieving process.
It was always going to be a given that many would tune in toAgatha All AlongafterWandaVision, considering Agatha and Wanda’s connection in the Phase 4 series. Since the show is told from Agatha’s perspective, it is obvious that Wanda will not be viewed in a positive light.Even though time will tell ifAgatha All Alongbrings back Wanda, it is expected that many MCU viewers will be keeping a close eye on the next few episodes to see what other nods and references there may be to Scarlet Witch.
Our Take On Agatha All Along’s Fan Reactions
