So in case no one is keeping score, The MCU has four Uber-powerful beings that can solve every issue. Captain Marvel, who can reignite suns if the plot calls for it, among other things, Emilia Clarke’s Super Skrull/Super Adaptoid, who has the powers of every Marvel super powered being, She-Hulk, who can punch through reality and ask the producers to change things around to suit her whims with the power of Karen, and Wiccan, who can time travel and create whole worlds. Robert Doom-y Jr will have his ass handed to him minutes after the Avengers title card.

@@alexanderfletcher3375more because witches and death go together thematically. Thanos in the MCU is technically an alien and more part of the guardians side rather than the mystical side like witches, death, potions, etc.
I wonder why, if Agatha's intention in gathering a coven was to steal their powers by means of the Witch's Road hoax, then why have Diverse Witch #4 or Kitty Forman in the coven if neither had powers? I guess the no-prize explanation is that Agatha didn't care and was just going to kill them along with the others. Maybe Kitty Forman was just a placeholder to convince the other witches that the Witch's Road was legitimate, and I guess Diverse Witch #4 sort of had powers anyway, despite being bound.
You can have an unlikeable morally bankrupt character and still like them. Too bad that's not what happened here. Agatha is a morally reprehensible evil murderer and not in an entertaining way.
So... in the comics, Thanos kills the whole universe in an attempt to woo Death. I guess only snapping half got him ignored. But also, didn't he curse Deadpool to never die so he could never be with Death? Again, I feel this rendition of Death would ignore DP.
Agatha was just unlikable and that’s a huge problem. Like not in a charming way or well-written way. Take Walter White. He’s egotistical, he’s manipulative, a liar. But we like him because the performance is done well and the writing is too. Either Kathryn Hahn just isn’t that good, or the writing wasn’t that good.
Ding on both counts. Katheryn Hahn doesn’t have a tenth of the talent Bryan Cranston has, able to handle comedy and drama (his Hal is still one of the best tv dads) that’s ever been.
@fishjones4618 Okay but is it just a matter of having the talent to pull off the performance? I guess what I'm asking is it an acting problem or writing problem? Is it because Hahn isn't as good an actor enough to do the performance OR is it a problem from the writers?
@@Thed538dhsk Both. Look at people like Billy Zane. He played a relatively bit part in a terrible show called Charmed, but he added inflections and gestures to give life to a terrible script. A good actor can't save terrible writing, but he can make a moderately memorable character in an otherwise terrible show. Likewise, a bad actor can kill good writing. Hahn doesn't have the chops and the writing is godawful.
@WhiteManOnCampus What could she do better in her performance to have made the character of Agatha be better? What do you feel the writers could've done to make the character of Agatha be better written?
22:48 "(Lady Death) can do better." Hells yeah! In the comics, she had Thanos, the Mad Titan, following her around like a puppy dog... but did she APPRECIATE him? Nooooo... It's like Lady Death was Jerry Hall and she dumped Rupert Murdoch (Thanos) to go back to Bryan Ferry (Agatha)! The woman has no taste! Death of the Endless is so much a better representation of... death than Lady Death.
Well, Wiccan did stuff without knowing how to do it, so that's a plus, but also a double edge sword because that leads him to be a walking Deux Ex Machina, every time they get cornered he could just solve the plot and not knowing how he did it. Yeah, that's an issue 🤔🤔. I don't think Lillia's plot was pull out from her ass, we got glimpses from her plot in previous episodes, she "time travel" but not in the traditional way, it was more like Everything Everywhere All at Once, but instead of "possesing" her alternate self, she was "possesing" her younger and older self just to see not to control, that's why she said random stuff, because she wasn't in control. Agatha being awful makes her a terrible main character, she is not complex enough to fill the role, they tried to make her more complex, but she end up more awful and one dimensional than before, hell, the idea of her getting power to revive her son not only could be a better idea, but also would make more sense because in Wandavision she was intrigued of the possibility of Wanda resurrecting dead people. But well, the show is not bad, but is full of flaws, too many plot holes, too many inconscistencies, too many plots that are irrelevant, we didn't even got answers to important questions. How Agatha got her unique set of powers? How she got the Dark Hold? What was the bid deal with the Salem Seven at the end? I could only theorize that she got her OP absorbing magic powers in her execution because Lady Death save her by giving her that power and she should've died that day, that's why Lady Death was after Agatha, but that's my theory. Again, the show is not awful, at least it's not She Hulk, but it's not the best thing ever, it's meh. I didn't hated it at least.
@MaxEdrox We know they can shape shift into animals. We don't know what makes them so dangerous other than them being creepy witches set on revenge who behave animalistic. The difference with the Salem 7 vs another coven is they are feral vs other covens are just a group of somewhat like-minded witches who team up. The Salem 7 are animalistic and rabid. Other covens are human-like and can be reasoned with or convinced to not maul Agatha like beasts I guess. Agatha can't reason with or manipulate the Salem 7 unlike other witches she can convince to spare her.
The whole out-of-sequence time jumping plotpoint is a straight up rip-off of that very same plotpoint that was used in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5. And before you ask, yes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did it better. Not surprising
Lilia put the sigil on Billy because Wanda or death would've been after him the moment he possessed Kaplan's body. Lilia gave him time to get his bearings and find out who he is before meeting death or wanda
@@thoriasunlimited4053 How can we be sure if that, he didn't even know who he was? Death could've easily told him to come with her and he wouldn't have known better after his car accident. He couldn't read Rio's mind during this series or Agatha's. He was frightened, confused, and vulnerable to have listened to Rio after the car accident.
@@MamaMOB Depends, from a certain point of view. You could view it as: Option A: Lilia co-conspired in Billy controlling William Kaplan's deceased body and taking over his life Or Option B: Lilia basically was a mid-wife and mother like figure who helped Billy be reborn and enjoy having time to grow up gaining a 2nd life. Billy and William were both SUPPOSED to die. Or Wanda was SUPPOSED to have gotten Billy after the events of Wandavision. Lilia prevented Wanda AND Death from noticing him and allowed him time to avoid both of them until he learned more about himself.
Honestly, I'm not really sure. It wasn't explained, just implied. I THINK Agatha was killing witches to keep her son alive, but if that was the deal, it was made silently.
Mistress Death, the “sister” of Galactus and Eternity, three of the most powerful entities in existence below the Living Tribunal, is supposed to be in a love triangle with Deadpool and Thanos. What is all of this?
Wiccan was dressed as maleficent because like maleficent he wanted to be party of the coven but was treated as an outsider, a familiar. There is a reason for it. You can like the reason or not, that's your choice. But the reason exists nevertheless. Maleficent only put the curse on sleeping beauty because she wasn't invited to the kings party, she was treated as an outsider. Billy didn't think he was part of the coven, just Agatha's sidekick. But then roles are reversed when Agatha in the last EP is revealed to be Billy's sidekick or spirit guide
Additionally, in the last episode Agatha tricks, and kills several witches, some of which are black, even worse because those black witches would be alive during slavery, which means at some point most of them or slaves, which are subjected to horrible things like rape and torture.
Oh this was it already? Well.i cant say that i expect much from mcu. Atleast DC has some great animated series i can now watch from HBO Max..Justice League action was pretty fun
15:33 Did he look in the mirror and see all the people who traveled on the road with him in the reflection and then they were there in the room with him and they danced while a David Bowie song played?
No Lilia isn't quantum leaping. She's seeing visions of the future, she is a psychic. She just experienced them in a fuge state aka doesn't remember them much. It's not time travel, just seeing the future.
I'm pretty sure the "you saved one!" Comment was about tommy, not kale. And yeah, wiccan is one of the strongest characters in all of marvel (stronger than both his parents). Doing him, like his mother, is always going to be a catch 22 between making him comics accurately OP and being easy to write. It's a real superman problem in that all struggles have to be something internal like moral, emotional, and psychological - as you can't rely on external clashes alone.
Even as fan of redemption arcs I cannot see Agatha as anything but a evil being. I mean I now love Negan (TWD) the man who killed brutally two of my favorite characters Abraham and Glenn. Yet they did such a good job showing this man going from a narcissistic dictator of the Saviors to a redeemed man trying to move on with what was left to live for, Agatha being redeemed is like Alpha being redeemed. Oh sure she cut heads off of people still alive, tortured others, murdered her own husband, tormented Carol especially, but... she LOVED her daughter Lydia. 🙄 Also, Lady Death needs to get with Deadpool already. She wouldnbe treated so much better by Wade Wilson. Let Gagatha rot in the darkness she craves. Also, while I didn't hate Wiccan, the actor needs to work out more before I truly see him in that role. R.I.P Kitty Foreman hopefully Red Foreman will stick his foot up Agatha's ass in revenge.
@@toddholland7511 Truth be told, Thanos’ motivations made a lot more sense than the “simpimg for Death” reason in the comics. Thank goodness the Infinity Saga wasn’t produced nowadays or you would have gotten your wish and have Thanos be a cuck for Death.
The entire show is so pointless. In future if Agatha showed up in anything they could've just mentioned how she got her powers back.. It was more about Wiccan than Agatha.
Agatha is such a terrible and irredeemable character that I couldn't get behind her at all. She's literally a serial killer that shows no remorse for her actions and yet we're still supossed to feel sympathy for her? I like Death and Wiccan though but ultimately this show was yet another MCU disappointment.
So a really shitty show gets slightly less shitty by the end, not gonna really win anybody over with that Marvel ... the MCU and its vestigial TV sidekick shows are as good as dead, and it didn't even require Lady Death for that to happen 😅
To be honest, I'll watch you for honest reactions. I click on others to watch the rage reviews for entertainment. When I see you rage, I know it's a horrible show 🤣
Im attracted to Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza, but I have no interest in watching this show, and that's weird because I watched Wandavision just for Elizabeth Olsen
I liked the show but the whole preaching the importance of Covens /sisterhoods felt counter productive. I liked the other witches but I think the show would’ve worked better with just Agatha and Wiccan
What are you talking about? The last episode clearly shows Agatha thinks nothing of covens/sisterhoods. How did you take that message from the show? I guess the other witches learn that but this "sisterhood" is what helped them almost all die? How would this show work if it were only Agatha and Teen tho? Would ep 2 just be them conjuring the road themselves with none of the other witches? Then there wouldn't be any stakes because nothing could kill them but with the other witches each trail has stakes since witches die from the trials. It'd be like Halloween with none of Laurie's friends being killed by Meyers, the film is ONLY Mike Meyers and Laurie Strode
@ That’s what I meant, this show kept having a subplot about the importance of covens but it was all for nothing. And what I meant was maybe the show should’ve just been about Agatha & Wiccan with a different plot instead of the witches road. I did like all of the actresses on this show but again if their whole point was that coven plot it does almost make everything they went through feel pointless whereas the stuff with Agatha & Billy at least felt like it had a somewhat satisfying conclusion
@patrickmcguire7896 I wouldn't say the coven subplot is ALL for nothing. It does serve the purpose of paralleling Wiccan to Agatha. As he says in the last EP, he tends to kill his coven mates just like Agatha does. The difference between them is he feels bad and didn't do it on purpose whereas Agatha has. What plot do you feel would service the character Agatha and Wiccan better? Or even service the other witches better too?
I'm fine with agatha not being a good person she's not supposed to be it's just the bad story that bothers me were supposed to be following a villain and not a redemption tell or a heroic one as for the scratch thing that was her saying the father was the demon
Telling a story about a villain would be one thing - hell, The Penguin made it work - but if that's the case, you need to own it. The writers seem to want Agatha to be kind of the hero of this story and they apparently don't understand how hateable she is.
So i didn't hate the show...not great, it was "fine" imo. But i don't think the writers were trying to troll the audience about the witch's road... I actually quite liked the reveal that Wiccan made it happen (very Usual Suspects), just like his mother, and since Agatha made up the road, thats how she knew so fast who he was.
16:24 ah how did I miss that: "Trans Lives Matter" flag in Billy's room to the left on that screenshot. Haha I remember when former MCU producer Victoria Alonso got flack from her higher ups because she wanted to put that in Ant-Man 3 but was told not to since that's just kinda propaganda and she started fuming about it. Funny how hypocritical Disney can be
@art23428 i was getting those vibes from him anyway tbh so that doesn't surprise me one bit. That's what this show seems to be, just propaganda for the alphabet community, specifically the L,G, and T in the in the alphabet
@@art23428 seeing as how that flag is there, in actually kinda surprised they didn't go full on woke like CW's Gotham Knights show and hire a trans actor to play Billy. Like, he jumps into a female body then transitions to identifying as a male
I really enjoyed the show most of the time, despite of much of the stupidity in it that you mentioned. As someone who's really into witchcraft and the esoteric things in general, it was a fun ride. Really hope to see Deadpool and Lady Death together.
@@francoiseeduard303 how is Wican unsympathetic, I thought that he was the only character with a proper moral compass and his goal of getting his brother back was extremely sympathetic.
Yeah, the show got way better when they dropped the road trip comedy act and focus more on being grittier. Sure it is not the best by any stretch, but after episode six, the show did get better.
Maybe im in the minority, but agatha is my least favorite character AND actress on the show. I actually enjoyed the tarot witch, but damn the Salem Seven was the Knights of Ren all over again
@ when they dont give them as much screen time it was kinda easier for me to id them as:agatha, wiccan, tarot witch, mrs foreman, potion witch, and aubrey plaza. I know there was another witch but like her only significance was her mom was a singer, she had no character of her own
@ i did that for simplicity because they had scarce character development and it was super easy to forget their names. Saying i enjoyed what they did with her (lyla i think) was only disagreeing with how he shit on those characters more than agatha and i was just saying i thought she was a more likable and interesting character than agatha. I found agatha frustratingly annoying
4:09 they did not “pull a plot point out of their ass” the plot point about her seeing her life out of order is genuinely one of the best bits of writing in the entire show because it is set up all the way from episode 2 with the dementia moments. You can’t say that they didn’t set it up when the entire episode is pointing out how this plot point was set up throughout the entire series. 5:15 that’s because it isn’t time travel her consciousness is travelling back into her previous body there is no time travel and nothing is changing whatsoever.
@@James_Beewell it’s not full time travel because she only ever goes back for a few seconds and she can’t change anything because what she did then she always did because it was always her mind in the body at that moment. So his point of time travel is illogical since it doesn’t act like time travel and doesn’t allow for the alteration of the future

I wonder why, if Agatha's intention in gathering a coven was to steal their powers by means of the Witch's Road hoax, then why have Diverse Witch #4 or Kitty Forman in the coven if neither had powers?
I guess the no-prize explanation is that Agatha didn't care and was just going to kill them along with the others. Maybe Kitty Forman was just a placeholder to convince the other witches that the Witch's Road was legitimate, and I guess Diverse Witch #4 sort of had powers anyway, despite being bound.
That is an excellent question.
You can have an unlikeable morally bankrupt character and still like them.
Too bad that's not what happened here. Agatha is a morally reprehensible evil murderer and not in an entertaining way.
So... in the comics, Thanos kills the whole universe in an attempt to woo Death. I guess only snapping half got him ignored. But also, didn't he curse Deadpool to never die so he could never be with Death? Again, I feel this rendition of Death would ignore DP.
Agatha was just unlikable and that’s a huge problem. Like not in a charming way or well-written way. Take Walter White. He’s egotistical, he’s manipulative, a liar. But we like him because the performance is done well and the writing is too. Either Kathryn Hahn just isn’t that good, or the writing wasn’t that good.
How could Agatha have been better depicted in the show for you to make her more like Walter White, a likable evil person?
Ding on both counts. Katheryn Hahn doesn’t have a tenth of the talent Bryan Cranston has, able to handle comedy and drama (his Hal is still one of the best tv dads) that’s ever been.
@fishjones4618 Okay but is it just a matter of having the talent to pull off the performance? I guess what I'm asking is it an acting problem or writing problem? Is it because Hahn isn't as good an actor enough to do the performance OR is it a problem from the writers?
@@Thed538dhsk Both. Look at people like Billy Zane. He played a relatively bit part in a terrible show called Charmed, but he added inflections and gestures to give life to a terrible script. A good actor can't save terrible writing, but he can make a moderately memorable character in an otherwise terrible show. Likewise, a bad actor can kill good writing. Hahn doesn't have the chops and the writing is godawful.
@WhiteManOnCampus What could she do better in her performance to have made the character of Agatha be better?
What do you feel the writers could've done to make the character of Agatha be better written?
22:48 "(Lady Death) can do better." Hells yeah! In the comics, she had Thanos, the Mad Titan, following her around like a puppy dog... but did she APPRECIATE him? Nooooo... It's like Lady Death was Jerry Hall and she dumped Rupert Murdoch (Thanos) to go back to Bryan Ferry (Agatha)! The woman has no taste! Death of the Endless is so much a better representation of... death than Lady Death.
6:35
Lady Death is another character, she is Mistress Death... In theory...
AY UP THORIAS
In a video about Agatha All Along: “Let’s move this along, I don’t want to be talking about this damn show all night!”.
2:50 dosent get me excited for North Star in the MCU
Well, Wiccan did stuff without knowing how to do it, so that's a plus, but also a double edge sword because that leads him to be a walking Deux Ex Machina, every time they get cornered he could just solve the plot and not knowing how he did it. Yeah, that's an issue 🤔🤔. I don't think Lillia's plot was pull out from her ass, we got glimpses from her plot in previous episodes, she "time travel" but not in the traditional way, it was more like Everything Everywhere All at Once, but instead of "possesing" her alternate self, she was "possesing" her younger and older self just to see not to control, that's why she said random stuff, because she wasn't in control. Agatha being awful makes her a terrible main character, she is not complex enough to fill the role, they tried to make her more complex, but she end up more awful and one dimensional than before, hell, the idea of her getting power to revive her son not only could be a better idea, but also would make more sense because in Wandavision she was intrigued of the possibility of Wanda resurrecting dead people. But well, the show is not bad, but is full of flaws, too many plot holes, too many inconscistencies, too many plots that are irrelevant, we didn't even got answers to important questions.
How Agatha got her unique set of powers?
How she got the Dark Hold?
What was the bid deal with the Salem Seven at the end?
I could only theorize that she got her OP absorbing magic powers in her execution because Lady Death save her by giving her that power and she should've died that day, that's why Lady Death was after Agatha, but that's my theory. Again, the show is not awful, at least it's not She Hulk, but it's not the best thing ever, it's meh. I didn't hated it at least.
"Who is Nicholas Scratch's father?"
(i wanted it to be Mephisto)
@@budgiecat9039he seemingly has no father. A fatherless birth which kinda parallels Wanda who made her kids "from scratch".
We did learn the big deal about the Salem 7, they were the kids Agatha spared from her original coven
@@Thed538dhskyeah, but what they can do? What makes them so dangerous? What's different from any other random coven?
@MaxEdrox We know they can shape shift into animals.
We don't know what makes them so dangerous other than them being creepy witches set on revenge who behave animalistic.
The difference with the Salem 7 vs another coven is they are feral vs other covens are just a group of somewhat like-minded witches who team up. The Salem 7 are animalistic and rabid. Other covens are human-like and can be reasoned with or convinced to not maul Agatha like beasts I guess. Agatha can't reason with or manipulate the Salem 7 unlike other witches she can convince to spare her.
The whole out-of-sequence time jumping plotpoint is a straight up rip-off of that very same plotpoint that was used in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5.
And before you ask, yes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did it better. Not surprising
There's still hope. As soon as Velma became a ghost her series was IMMEDIATELY canceled. Now that we have Ghost Agatha maybe, just MAYBE...
Lilia put the sigil on Billy because Wanda or death would've been after him the moment he possessed Kaplan's body. Lilia gave him time to get his bearings and find out who he is before meeting death or wanda
So she co-conspired in his literal identity theft? Gross.
But even if she hadn't, Death still wouldn't be able to do anything. She said she needed him to come willingly and he wasn't about to do that.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 How can we be sure if that, he didn't even know who he was? Death could've easily told him to come with her and he wouldn't have known better after his car accident. He couldn't read Rio's mind during this series or Agatha's. He was frightened, confused, and vulnerable to have listened to Rio after the car accident.
@@MamaMOB Depends, from a certain point of view. You could view it as:
Option A: Lilia co-conspired in Billy controlling William Kaplan's deceased body and taking over his life
Or
Option B: Lilia basically was a mid-wife and mother like figure who helped Billy be reborn and enjoy having time to grow up gaining a 2nd life.
Billy and William were both SUPPOSED to die. Or Wanda was SUPPOSED to have gotten Billy after the events of Wandavision. Lilia prevented Wanda AND Death from noticing him and allowed him time to avoid both of them until he learned more about himself.
I like when u review things u like
The only love of Lady Death is Deadpool now we can have Audrey in Deadpool
The one bait and switch that doesnt go to a woman goes to a gay. Smh.
Wait so she has to kill witches daily to keep her son alive? Or death just punked her on that one day like a monkeys paw?
Honestly, I'm not really sure. It wasn't explained, just implied. I THINK Agatha was killing witches to keep her son alive, but if that was the deal, it was made silently.
Mistress Death, the “sister” of Galactus and Eternity, three of the most powerful entities in existence below the Living Tribunal, is supposed to be in a love triangle with Deadpool and Thanos. What is all of this?
Pretty sure that Jac Shaeffer has said that she's not following the comics, so stuff like this was to be expected.
No, the writing is not on the wall, it's in the toilet.
So who's the more morally compromised: Batwoman or Billy? Agatha is just a serial killer, after all.
Batwoman. At least Billy feels bad (sometimes) when he does bad things.
I been watching you for awhile but just to let you know, Brett from the Pop Culture Crisis podcast gave you a shoutout recently 😊
Cool! Got a link? I'd like to see that.
Wiccan, sympathetic? Not even a little
Wait, Lady Death and Deadpool are a thing in Marvel Comics. Wonder if that's going to come up moving forward.
no. Death is a thing in Deadpool. Lady Death is a busty white skinned babe from an independent comic and owned by Brian Pulido.
Can’t wait for this show to be ultimately unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
What an insufferable show.
Thank you for suffering for us.
Wiccan was dressed as maleficent because like maleficent he wanted to be party of the coven but was treated as an outsider, a familiar. There is a reason for it. You can like the reason or not, that's your choice. But the reason exists nevertheless. Maleficent only put the curse on sleeping beauty because she wasn't invited to the kings party, she was treated as an outsider. Billy didn't think he was part of the coven, just Agatha's sidekick. But then roles are reversed when Agatha in the last EP is revealed to be Billy's sidekick or spirit guide
Additionally, in the last episode Agatha tricks, and kills several witches, some of which are black, even worse because those black witches would be alive during slavery, which means at some point most of them or slaves, which are subjected to horrible things like rape and torture.
And how many of them were indentured servants and white that you don't care about? You know not everything has to be about black people right?
So Lady Death was a simp for her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh this was it already? Well.i cant say that i expect much from mcu.
Atleast DC has some great animated series i can now watch from HBO Max..Justice League action was pretty fun
What about Penguin
@Thed538dhsk yeah that too.i try to watch that
@@trainerredcharizard7982 how did you feel about that show?
@Thed538dhsk i havent started it yet.heard good things from it.
@@trainerredcharizard7982 I recommend it if you like gangster dramas like the Sopranos, Power, or that Gotham show that used to be on FOX
15:33 Did he look in the mirror and see all the people who traveled on the road with him in the reflection and then they were there in the room with him and they danced while a David Bowie song played?
No Lilia isn't quantum leaping. She's seeing visions of the future, she is a psychic. She just experienced them in a fuge state aka doesn't remember them much. It's not time travel, just seeing the future.
She literally changes things in the future and the past. That is magical time travel.
Hey can you react to the daredevil trailer I want to hear your thoughts
I'm pretty sure the "you saved one!" Comment was about tommy, not kale.
And yeah, wiccan is one of the strongest characters in all of marvel (stronger than both his parents). Doing him, like his mother, is always going to be a catch 22 between making him comics accurately OP and being easy to write. It's a real superman problem in that all struggles have to be something internal like moral, emotional, and psychological - as you can't rely on external clashes alone.
Wait but the son of Agatha(at least in the comics)is the one who founded the Salem Seven, why bring him up if they're already gone?
I liked the episode before two last ones
Even as fan of redemption arcs I cannot see Agatha as anything but a evil being. I mean I now love Negan (TWD) the man who killed brutally two of my favorite characters Abraham and Glenn. Yet they did such a good job showing this man going from a narcissistic dictator of the Saviors to a redeemed man trying to move on with what was left to live for, Agatha being redeemed is like Alpha being redeemed. Oh sure she cut heads off of people still alive, tortured others, murdered her own husband, tormented Carol especially, but... she LOVED her daughter Lydia. 🙄
Also, Lady Death needs to get with Deadpool already. She wouldnbe treated so much better by Wade Wilson. Let Gagatha rot in the darkness she craves. Also, while I didn't hate Wiccan, the actor needs to work out more before I truly see him in that role. R.I.P Kitty Foreman hopefully Red Foreman will stick his foot up Agatha's ass in revenge.
Yes. And Red needs to call her a dumbass too. Agatha definitely earned that one.
this is a setup for young avenger if anybody care for movie
At this rate, they're not going to be so young anymore by the time they get around to making that thing.
How about Death be with Thanos like she should have been?
But she's not. Thanos is a simp for death in the comics but she likes Deadpool, not Thanos. She isn't interested in Thanos, just kinda leads him on
@@toddholland7511 Truth be told, Thanos’ motivations made a lot more sense than the “simpimg for Death” reason in the comics. Thank goodness the Infinity Saga wasn’t produced nowadays or you would have gotten your wish and have Thanos be a cuck for Death.
The entire show is so pointless. In future if Agatha showed up in anything they could've just mentioned how she got her powers back.. It was more about Wiccan than Agatha.
Yeah it was basically Wiccan show pilot and now I heard we are ..... getting a Wiccan show 🙄
@@budgiecat9039that's unconfirmed rumour. He could be in a different show, solo show, or a film who knows
Wdym? How is it teen all along instead of Agatha? How is the show pointless?
@@Thed538dhsk did you watch this review
@budgiecat9039 yes. I liked it. Did you?
Agatha is such a terrible and irredeemable character that I couldn't get behind her at all. She's literally a serial killer that shows no remorse for her actions and yet we're still supossed to feel sympathy for her? I like Death and Wiccan though but ultimately this show was yet another MCU disappointment.
I felt sympathy for her when she lost her son, but then they instantly ruined it.
Ahh Doo Thorias my lad, 24 likes, 119 views in just FOUR MINUTES...Thy doin oreyt son.
So a really shitty show gets slightly less shitty by the end, not gonna really win anybody over with that Marvel ... the MCU and its vestigial TV sidekick shows are as good as dead, and it didn't even require Lady Death for that to happen 😅
Thank God I am watching The Penguin besides this piece of crap.
Another OP character? The next Avenger movies are going to become pointless now.
Like I said. This is going to create a lot of problems for the writers.
@9:40 DTS ✂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lady d needs to get with DP
To be honest, I'll watch you for honest reactions. I click on others to watch the rage reviews for entertainment. When I see you rage, I know it's a horrible show 🤣
Im attracted to Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza, but I have no interest in watching this show, and that's weird because I watched Wandavision just for Elizabeth Olsen
I liked the show but the whole preaching the importance of Covens /sisterhoods felt counter productive. I liked the other witches but I think the show would’ve worked better with just Agatha and Wiccan
What are you talking about? The last episode clearly shows Agatha thinks nothing of covens/sisterhoods. How did you take that message from the show? I guess the other witches learn that but this "sisterhood" is what helped them almost all die?
How would this show work if it were only Agatha and Teen tho? Would ep 2 just be them conjuring the road themselves with none of the other witches? Then there wouldn't be any stakes because nothing could kill them but with the other witches each trail has stakes since witches die from the trials. It'd be like Halloween with none of Laurie's friends being killed by Meyers, the film is ONLY Mike Meyers and Laurie Strode
@ That’s what I meant, this show kept having a subplot about the importance of covens but it was all for nothing. And what I meant was maybe the show should’ve just been about Agatha & Wiccan with a different plot instead of the witches road. I did like all of the actresses on this show but again if their whole point was that coven plot it does almost make everything they went through feel pointless whereas the stuff with Agatha & Billy at least felt like it had a somewhat satisfying conclusion
@patrickmcguire7896 I wouldn't say the coven subplot is ALL for nothing. It does serve the purpose of paralleling Wiccan to Agatha. As he says in the last EP, he tends to kill his coven mates just like Agatha does. The difference between them is he feels bad and didn't do it on purpose whereas Agatha has.
What plot do you feel would service the character Agatha and Wiccan better? Or even service the other witches better too?
Wait, where was the middle finger to the algorythm? did I miss it?
13:28
I don't use that bit in every video. That's just for movie reviews.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 Gotcha! Big fan!
I don't know why this show is so popular... straight 🗑 to me 🤷♂️
So if he reincarnates take him again lol what's the problem.
I'm fine with agatha not being a good person she's not supposed to be it's just the bad story that bothers me were supposed to be following a villain and not a redemption tell or a heroic one as for the scratch thing that was her saying the father was the demon
Telling a story about a villain would be one thing - hell, The Penguin made it work - but if that's the case, you need to own it. The writers seem to want Agatha to be kind of the hero of this story and they apparently don't understand how hateable she is.
So i didn't hate the show...not great, it was "fine" imo. But i don't think the writers were trying to troll the audience about the witch's road... I actually quite liked the reveal that Wiccan made it happen (very Usual Suspects), just like his mother, and since Agatha made up the road, thats how she knew so fast who he was.
I watched the first 2 and a half episodes. This show is a piece of shit, end of discussion
16:24 ah how did I miss that: "Trans Lives Matter" flag in Billy's room to the left on that screenshot.
Haha I remember when former MCU producer Victoria Alonso got flack from her higher ups because she wanted to put that in Ant-Man 3 but was told not to since that's just kinda propaganda and she started fuming about it. Funny how hypocritical Disney can be
@budgiecat9039 billy is trans now
@art23428 i was getting those vibes from him anyway tbh so that doesn't surprise me one bit. That's what this show seems to be, just propaganda for the alphabet community, specifically the L,G, and T in the in the alphabet
@GUSTAVINNESSONN and we get bitched at because we don't like the show yeah for good reason
@@art23428 seeing as how that flag is there, in actually kinda surprised they didn't go full on woke like CW's Gotham Knights show and hire a trans actor to play Billy.
Like, he jumps into a female body then transitions to identifying as a male
I really enjoyed the show most of the time, despite of much of the stupidity in it that you mentioned. As someone who's really into witchcraft and the esoteric things in general, it was a fun ride. Really hope to see Deadpool and Lady Death together.
Wow this show is fucking terrible.
Another dei show that is worthless and noone watches.
I stopped this cw level garbage after episode 1. It's amazing how far marvel has fallen. I am saving a lot of money though.
I hat(orad)e Wiccan and he is unsympathetic.
What a waste of Aubrey Plaza & Lady D!🤦♂️
@@francoiseeduard303 how is Wican unsympathetic, I thought that he was the only character with a proper moral compass and his goal of getting his brother back was extremely sympathetic.
You mean Death, not Lady Death.
@ right I get that, I rescind my point about him being “the only one” but that doesn’t change the fact that he very much has a moral compass
@sonofpears4691 You’ve heard of the “magical [black in spanish]”, he’s the “magical 🏳️🌈”!
Yeah, the show got way better when they dropped the road trip comedy act and focus more on being grittier. Sure it is not the best by any stretch, but after episode six, the show did get better.
Maybe im in the minority, but agatha is my least favorite character AND actress on the show. I actually enjoyed the tarot witch, but damn the Salem Seven was the Knights of Ren all over again
Funny how you say that but you don't even know her name 😂
@ when they dont give them as much screen time it was kinda easier for me to id them as:agatha, wiccan, tarot witch, mrs foreman, potion witch, and aubrey plaza. I know there was another witch but like her only significance was her mom was a singer, she had no character of her own
@ i did that for simplicity because they had scarce character development and it was super easy to forget their names. Saying i enjoyed what they did with her (lyla i think) was only disagreeing with how he shit on those characters more than agatha and i was just saying i thought she was a more likable and interesting character than agatha. I found agatha frustratingly annoying
The Salem Seven were utterly pointless. Contributed nothing to the story at all.
4:09 they did not “pull a plot point out of their ass” the plot point about her seeing her life out of order is genuinely one of the best bits of writing in the entire show because it is set up all the way from episode 2 with the dementia moments. You can’t say that they didn’t set it up when the entire episode is pointing out how this plot point was set up throughout the entire series.
5:15 that’s because it isn’t time travel her consciousness is travelling back into her previous body there is no time travel and nothing is changing whatsoever.
The Butterfly Effect (movie) is still a form of time travel.
If her consciousness enters her body in the past AND she has control of her body and actions, it's time travel.
EXACTLY like Wolverine in First Class.
@@James_Beewell it’s not full time travel because she only ever goes back for a few seconds and she can’t change anything because what she did then she always did because it was always her mind in the body at that moment. So his point of time travel is illogical since it doesn’t act like time travel and doesn’t allow for the alteration of the future
Can We Please stop referring to a Virgin Birth as an Immaculate Conception ?

The Immaculate Conception Does not Refer to Jesus being Born of a Virgin, it Refers to Mary being Born without The Stain of Original Sin.
