Maybe I'm slow, but I have no idea what image I'm looking at or what they're trying to emphasize.

The costume looks more like Vision's. But that stuff is on the TV screens on the Disney+ title page, so I'm not sure what's relevant to the silhouette in the mind stone thing she saw.

The belt is new, though. The below image is from the D+ page



and this is from the show, without the brightened effect that C@LAg posted

The line about love and grief was way too good to be in a show like this. Kudos.

Maybe wait a week and see how this all plays out first before accusing the rest of us "eating slop." Good Lord.

TexAgs is never not ground zero for people overreacting to a plot point before seeing it fully play out, only to have it be revealed that the creators knew what they were doing all along. I'm not saying that's the case here, but either way... chill.


My favorite TexAgs plot point was either December 2015 or September 2017.

Did the rabbit eat the bird?

I thought the bird turned back into a cicada when the rabbit caught it.

I think that was hands down one of the best pieces of content Marvel has put out so far. Absolutely fantastic.

The Ghosts of Christmas Past scenes to develop Wanda's backstory and Vision's relationship was just so well done. The emotion conveyed as well as explaining Wanda's motivation and trauma... so good.


And what a homerun of an outside-the-box hire with Kathryn Hahn. She's been awesome.

Maybe Agatha needs Wanda to try and unleash on her so she can suck her powers out. The witches in Salem tried to use spells on her and she drained them dry.

Maybe it's not something she can do without her opponent tapping into their powers themselves.
In the Salem flashback, I'm also not sure that it was Agatha doing that intentionally (at least at first) rather than an inherent reaction that she wasn't entirely controlling.
very obvious she was in control and it was intentional.

her fake scared demeanor changed immediately and then she easily and with almost no effort broke the magical bindings.
Need to rewatch, but it didn't seem that way at the beginning. Bindings broke a few minutes into that scene.
Ok, rewatched the ep and I'm curious to get more thoughts because I'm still feeling the same way.

When Agnes is "tied" to the stake and the witches initially attack her, she seems to be purely defensive until her magic instinctively reacts. It's fighting off the other witches' magic and she seems to not quite grasp what's going on at first. It isn't till she faces off against her mother that she starts to take control of what she's doing.

Thoughts?

Her entire purpose this episode and apparently the entire show is to find out how and where Wanda learned the magic she is using. In her mind magic is just that, structured and learned. She begged the witches to teach her in the intro. And that is why she spent the time lecturing Wanda on the types of incantations and asking where her training/ learning came from. She was operating on the assumption Wanda was like her. It was only later that the chaos magic/Scarlet Witch theory took hold.

As for the intro scene, they spell it out she had been reading and practicing unauthorized magic.
She had learned the spells she cast on her fellow witches. It is very obvious that was the first time she had used them on someone.

I'm still leaning toward Agatha being morally gray, and not the big bad some on here are making her out to be that needs to be defeated. I bet Agatha and Wanda end up with some form or relationship that comes out of it once all is said and done, even if it is a love/hate one. Just the vibe I was picking up.

Thanks.

And fig, I am not making any claims that my take on this is any more right or wrong than yours, so I hope my frequent responses are not drowning you out. I fully see your POV, but am just trying to bring in more context to the discussion.

I have been wrong on many things throughout this thread over the weeks, but I at least try to justify them if I can.

That is why I typically drop out of these threads in the middle part of the week, essentially putting a big virtual sock in my mouth.

I stopped reading all your posts, because all the quarreling was annoying. So, hopefully this isn't repeating what someone else already said.

I think Agatha only arrived after Wanda created the Hex. She played no role prior. She was just drawn to the power.

So, who sent Wanda to Westview? Her grief at the empty lot may be a clue. A character that feeds on grief.

Finally, I'm still not sure Wanda intended to create the Hex. It came out of her power, but it almost looked like she was not in charge of herself when it happened.

Not at all, I'm all about the differing points of view. Half the fun of shows like this is seeing what other people take away from it.

Agree. I think Agatha felt the hex and went to it to learn about it and who created it. After finding out it was Wanda, maybe she suspected she could be the "Scarlet Witch" and she started manipulating her to draw out her powers to know for sure.

Vision has the best lines in the entire MCU.

An actual conversation a friend and I had...

When Wanda and Vision have sex, do you think he is in human form? And if not, does he fashion himself a human *****, a robot *****, or something else entirely?

I swear all these people calling the cicada a fly or moth really drives me crazy... do people not know what a cicada is? If they don't, I think this is the year the whole east coast is gonna learn, I think it's time for the Cicada Brood X to appear from the ground soon!

I would still be OK if there is no bigger Big Bad behind the scenes.

But given the book has yet to be explained, I think it is inevitable that there is.

The book point to Mephisto or Chthon.

The whole Nightmare idea which has been gaining grounds the last few weeks makes sense more in a Multiverse of Madness sort of way

But given that Spider-Man is in between both of them.. I have no guess which way it goes.

In the Spider-Man comics, they use Mysterio tech to open the walls between universes. No Big Bad necessary.
