    Love the connection of Agatha saying that she left Jen alone because what she was doing was important. When Jen was doing work in obstetrics and midwifery. Since Agatha almost lost Nicholas in childbirth, that would be very important to her because she didn't have anyone to help her

    My theory is that Agatha needs to kill in order to keep Nicholas alive. That's why the day she doesn't kill the witches, Nicky dies. That is why she tells him that killing witches is the only way he'll survive. It's like a deal Rio had with Agatha in a way. To give her more time. That is why she tells Rio that the truth is too awful and that what she did to her was only take. She became a serial killer to save try to keep her son alive. She lost her humanity. And then kept killing out of spite or to gain more power to try and get Nicky back with the Darkhold.

      No, I think she was assbackwardly using the powers of a coven to keep him alive, she has a bit of the powers she steals for a little while before it all goes purple. So, she goes around killing Healing Witches to keep him healthy, Earth Witches for food, and Protection to keep them hidden, safe. Like she said, _her_ power can't do any of that.

    There are ALOT of little Billy things that made watching in hindsight amazing (just my opinion)
    1) In the first trial Billy was able to give the witches nightmares because he is a mind-reader but he couldn't read Agatha's mind. The Hallucination she got came directly from Jen telling Billy she traded her son for the darkhold, Agatha was the only one to see something that wasn't true
    2) The only time Billy actually got hurt by the road wasn't actually the road, it was the curse that Alice brought onto the road.
    3) And Billy starting every trial.

    • @Amanda-rt3bq
      @Amanda-rt3bq 21 день тому +8

      Was it the curse that hurt him though? The curse tried to burn everyone else but Billy gets thrown through a window, very similar to how he’s thrown through the greenhouse when fighting Rio. I think Rio tried to kill him on the Road during Alice’s trial, but she played it off as if the curse hurt him.

The way Agatha was talking and Guiding Billy. Everytime Billy became scared or doubtful, She remained and responded in such an optimistic, firm, realistic, humous manner. I loved and rewatched the scene so many times before moving on. Kathryn Hahn is so phenomenal.

  • @MusicLover-my6fo

    The revelation that Billy (unknowingly) created the Witches Road is both totally creative and hilarious in context. It's creative because it's not often that a studio can take this approach in any film or series by playing with its audience by dangling what is and isn't real because something like that has to be earned. However, Marvel has earned that reputation with its audience, and it paid off here, I never once suspected that Billy was the originator of the road the entire time. And what makes this funny is that Agatha was lying the entire time during the series because she only acted like she knew what she was doing despite claiming to have experience from walking the Road prior.

It removed all the stakes for Billy because he would’ve just willed himself to survive.

That's why she dissappear when she is unbound and why Agatha tells Billy that he actually saved someone.

      It can definitely be both. In the comics (e.g. young avengers 2014) Billy’s powers are quite different from Wanda’s. He is capable of creating entire dimensions and worlds that are real physical places. So I personally believe that the road is both a manifestation of Billy’s subconscious and a genuine physical place in spacetime away from earth.

    There also seems to be 2 phases of each magic crown.
    For Wanda it started off as a crown made of light, and then progressed to a solid crown.
    I think the light crowns are a sort of magical indication that they're nearly the strongest, if that makes sense. Kind of like a prestige system in a video game.
    Evanora was only ever seen with a blue crown made of light. So she was on the verge of having a solid crown.

The Crone is her defense mechanism persona - the cruel scheming witch she sometimes portrays to do the things she feels she has to do.

      Mate, awful ending, all that teasing with Mephisto, why his kid would die at birth... that pointless lgbt stuff that didn't add anything to the story arc..

      It almost nailed it.... the last 10 minutes seemed rushed and didn't make any sense.

    Agatha’s statement that she got her power at the end of the witches’ road is perfect. She was the end of the ‘fake’ road and it always gave her power! Incredible writing

    Did love the big twist that the road was a creation of Billy's making.
    Also, did anyone else find the scene at the end of Billy, In full Wiccan costume, just walks to, gets in drives off in his car, to be really funny.
    Like anything mundane but in full super hero attire is just too funny to me. lol

      It kind of speaks to how such people still live in an ordinary world!

    The scene in the last trial when agatha wanted Billy's power and he refused reminded me a lot of young avengers v2 when loki wanted his powers to stop "mother"

    Surprised you didn't notice the nod to the moth and cocoon story aimed at Jennifer's struggle and rebirth. She even flies off!

    Your analysis is excellent, but I doubt the producers thought of all that. And that's why I enjoy watching this channel, because it adds an extra layer to the series.
