Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for Agatha All Along episodes 1 & 2Agatha All Alonghas already made some pretty blatant references to Scarlet Witch, so I’m going to be mad if it doesn’t end in what we’re all thinking. The first two episodes of theMCU’s latest Disney+ show center around Agatha breaking free from the spell Wanda cast on her, though Agatha hasn’t been the only one down on their luck since the events ofWandaVision.Wanda became corrupted by the Darkholdin her multiversal search for her children and eventually sacrificed herself to destroy the book at the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
It’s always a tough pill to swallow whenever a belovedMCU character dies, but Wanda’s death was particularly harsh considering how abruptly it happened. Since no character ever has to stay dead for good in the MCU, I’m still holding out hope that Wanda can return in some way.Agatha All Alongseems like the obvious project to bring her back,considering Agatha’s direct ties to the Scarlet Witch origin story, and with allthe references to Wanda that have been made in the showso far, I’ll be pretty disappointed if none of them lead to a return.
Agatha All Along’s First Two Episodes Lean Hard Into Scarlet Witch References
Scarlet Witch Played A Crucial Role Despite Not Fully Appearing
Even without physically appearing in the first two episodes ofAgatha All Along, Wanda has already made her impact through being referenced. From the opening moment when Agnes investigates the mystery corpse, it is heavily implied that it is the Scarlet Witch. The cause of death was indicated as blunt force trauma, andthe victim’s fingers were black as Wanda’s were after using the Darkhold. The library card that was found on the victim’s body was for a book that was stolen three years ago, which was the exact time that Wanda imprisoned Agatha and took the Darkhold from her.
Is Scarlet Witch Really Dead? & 8 Other Burning Questions From Agatha All Along
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor WandaVision, the new Marvel series Agatha All Along poses a number of important questions and mysteries.
When Agatha examines the victim’s body in the morgue, she sees a strand of scarlet hair sticking out from underneath the sheet. Finally, as if all signs weren’t already pointing to the corpse belonging to Wanda Maximoff,the body tag confirms that it is indeed her. Scarlet Witch is also referenced more passively, such as how the Westview residents dislike saying her name. Fans of Wanda have plenty to work with in the first two episodes ofAgatha All Along, and it’s understandable why so many are expecting a revival to come from it.
Agatha All Along Better Be Setting Up Scarlet Witch’s MCU Return
Scarlet Witch’s Return Is The Show’s Biggest Fan Theory
With the show’s direct ties to the character,Agatha All Alongis the obvious project for Scarlet Witch to make her MCU return. The whole first season will revolve around the Witches’ Road and Agatha and her coven’s journey on it. A plane of existence reserved for only witches and those who practice magic,the Witches’ Roadfeatures a series of challenging threats. If the individual can survive the journey, they are given the thing that they truly desire. Thanks to a new MCU character,the Witches’ Road can be Wanda’s way to return.
I’m thoroughly convinced thatJoe Locke’s Teenis actually Wanda’s son Billy, or at least a variant of him. There have been a few hints already pointing to his identity, including the fact that Agatha can’t hear him talk about his true identity. The running theory beforeAgatha All Alongpremiered was that Billy would travel the Witches’ Road in hopes of resurrecting Wanda. Even though Teen told Agatha that his intent is just to gain power from the Witches’ Road, he could expect to use his newfound powers to bring back his mother.
Why I’ll Be Furious If Agatha All Along Doesn’t Bring Back Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff Deserves Better Than The MCU Gave Her
Wanda had one of the most underwhelming endings in the MCU, and I know plenty of people agree with me. After getting her brilliant character development inWandaVision, her turn to villainy inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswas too abrupt. Scarlet Witch actually made for an intriguing villain, but her arc was too rushed to begin and end in just one film. The way her character was treated by the end was entirely undeserved andI’ll never get over the fact that she was killed off-screen, with fans only getting official confirmation from Marvel months later.
Scarlet Witch has become an iconic MCU characterand deserves to be brought back. Unlike the deaths of Tony Stark or Natasha Romanoff which felt fitting to their respective stories, Wanda has so much more potential for the MCU to explore. Above all else, it’d be strange forAgatha All Alongto make so many Scarlet Witch references if it’s not to set something up. I’m not saying that Marvel has to play to every fan theory, but having Scarlet Witch return inAgatha All Alongis such a natural setup that they need to take advantage of it.
