    I'm surprised Agatha hasn't had more interaction with Doctor Strange.

    • @Dynamo001
      @Dynamo001 3 роки тому +17

      True. One would think, since Strange is the Master of Mystic Arts, and would know about all powerful magic wielders, that they would have interacted more and called on one another for aid -- or fought.
      I always wondered about that, when I was a kid, reading comics.

    Many people assume that Agatha has been a villain in Wandavision. But I think there is more evidence to suggest otherwise.
    - She only emerged at all because of the scale, power and complexity of Wanda's spell.
    - She spent time in the Hex to understand what Wanda's power was and manipulated events to further that understanding.
    - Based on her reaction to Wanda truly becoming The Scarlet Witch, it seems more likely that she wanted the power for herself because she would be able to keep it under control seeing as she's been a witch and seemingly lived with her own powers for centuries.
    Now, there was the flashback of her sucking the powers from the other witches including her mother, but we don't know the entirety of the circumstances. That could have been self-preservation (they were the ones that captured her after all.) Marvel tends to get rid of the bad guys who are only ever bad guys and they didn't do that with Agatha. She's probably much more than meets the eye.

    • @tideoftime
      @tideoftime 2 місяці тому +1

      It's pretty clear that Agatha is a villain -- that is, power-hungry and willing to have others suffer for her in order to accomplish her goals. That isn't to say she's as Evil(tm) as many demons or similar entities (Mephisto, for instance, or Cthon, et al), but rather selfish/self-centered to an extent that is dangerous to those around her. She's a narrative mirror in the MCU to Wanda, except that where the latter succumbed to loss and suffering it then in Agatha's case was about envy and the desire for power from the beginning. Just because Agatha has no doubt suffered herself to "x" degree, nor is arbitrarily malignant (however capricious she can seem at times), doesn't mean she isn't a villain -- she very much is, just one (much like MCU Thanos) whose motivations can at least be understood even while not necessarily agreed with/condoned.

    This the Marvel Universe (MU) Agatha Harkness -- that is, AH in the comics with first appearance in FF Vol. 1 #94 in 1/1970. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. We also have right now, following Wandavision episodes 8 and 9, the MCU/Disney Agatha Harkness portrayed by American actress Kathryn Hahn. These two versions are different characters, though they share the same name and a few storyline similarities (e.g., appearance in the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s). I would like to see, in future films, the MU Agatha Harkness portrayed by Jane Lapotaire or Eileen Atkins.

    This was very interesting. I’ve read some of the comics ( Storm and the Scarlet Witch are my favorite two) and my husband bought me a book which was a collection of scarlet Witch stories when he was in NY a few years ago but I’ve been too dam* busy to read it. I’ve been calling myself a Blerd ( Black Nerd) but I wasn’t up on my comic lore like I shoulda been. Agatha isn’t really a villain in the comics? I know they like to change things up and I have zero issues with Wandavision ( it’s my favorite MCU installment besides Black Panther and Winter Soldier) but it would have been interesting to see her more like this. Maybe they’ll do that for the Fantastic Four movie. I like your channel. Some of the other ones that explain comics are too dam* long. The house of m video is there dam* hours!!! He has a voice that puts me to sleep too so I can’t get through it and it’s frustrating. I’ll definitely subscribe here.

    I LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF (AGATHA HARKNESS) IN MARVEL STORIES & MY VERSIONS:
    First off, I can imagine the possibility that there is an alternate version of (Agatha Harkness) who isn’t power obsessed, but instead she is just lonely, and not only that I can imagine that at some point in her life she might of become an adoptive parent of an orphaned child.
    Now I can imagine that the alternate version of (AGATHA HARKNESS) who I envision as a genuine good person, she could of become great friends with one of the powerful Asgardians, and not only that I can imagine that she knew the best magic-spells to protect herself from wicked beings, and from evil beings.
    In addition the names of the Asgardians who got married, and had a child; Those names are AMORA aka (The Enchantress) & I imagine her husband being FANDRAL.
    I also can envision another version of (AGATHA HARKNESS) who is great friends with (Morgana Le Fay) & I imagine that it was she who had fallen genuinely in love with (Loki) in that different dimensional realm.
    My third imagined alternate version of (AGATHA HARKNESS) is one who is great friends with two Asgardians, and these two were married to each other for 80years, and then they fell out of love with each other so they got divorced; Now the names of them are (Lorelei) 2nd. daughter of (Sylvie Lushton) & (Skurge) he is a honorable warrior, and he has a job as being the Executioner when one is needed.
    To add I imagine that before (SKURGE) & (LORELEI) got divorced from each other, they had one child it was a baby girl, and I imagine that it was named after Lorelei’s mother (SYLVIE) who was the first Enchantress, and to add I imagine that later in life LORELEI had become a very selfish person, irresponsible person, really greedy, and a very, very vain type of person as well.
    So when the divorce between her, and her husband SKURGE happened, I imagine SKURGE decided that he wanted to try to raise their child, that is if LORELEI had no objections to it, and I imagine that she said I have no problems with it, after all our daughter is now about 4, or 5years old, and I have had enough of her.
    In addition so when the day came that a disaster was threatening the planet:ASGARD, I imagine that Sylvie’s father SKURGE was called to help out, and then he realized that there is a chance he might die trying to help out, and there for I imagine that he called out for his old friend (AGATHA HARKNESS) to come to the planet to talk to her about his daughter SYLVIE, and what he wants to ask her to do for him that involves his daughter’s well being.
    Plus to add I envision that the alternate version of (AGATHA HARKNESS) was destined to raise SYLVIE, who is destined to be the future hero of both plains of existence, and that is both hero to her own race the Asgardians, and hero to the human race of the planet:Earth, and that would be as the successor to her grandmother’s great powers who was the first Enchantress, and so SYLVIE would be labeled as the new (Enchantress) & by another title that is the (Emerald Sorceress).

    Huh, didn't realize Franklin had vaporized Mephisto at one point. Perhaps that explains why that ridiculous Wannabe Satan went after MJ & Peter's marriage but stayed well clear of Sue & Reed. Of course, like Agatha, Aunt May also babysat for Franklin (at least one that time she became a Herald of Galactus) so maybe she could call in a favor from him and get the Parker marriage re-instated under threat of repeating the "break you into pieces" thing. Or, of course, she could just reclaim the Golden Oldie mantle and whup Red herself. Mephisto never did very well against Heralds.
