AGATHA ALL ALONG Social Media Reactions Point To A Slow Start For An Overall Spellbinding New MCU TV Series

The social media embargo for Agatha All Along has lifted following yesterday evening's premiere and while it sounds like the series gets off to a slow start, the response is so far extremely positive...

The social media embargo for Agatha All Along lifted a few hours ago and we now have a roundup of verdicts from critics who were fortunate enough to see four of the eight episodes in advance (check back here tomorrow night for our full review).

As you can see, the overall consensus is extremely positive; however, the majority seem to agree that the WandaVision follow-up gets off to a slow start and perhaps tries a little too hard to generate fan theories. 

The cast and queer themes receive a fair bit of praise and some are, as you might expect, calling Agatha All Along one of the best and most unique Marvel Television projects to date. 

We'll see what tale that all-important Rotten Tomatoes score tells, but those of you who have had your doubts about the series can now put your minds at rest if these early verdicts are any indication of what's in store for us in the coming weeks. 

Check out a sampling of the Agatha All Along social media reactions in the X posts below.

In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing.

Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road. 

The series stars Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza.

The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer, who is also the head writer and directed three episodes. Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Monteiro each direct three episodes of the original live-action series.

Agatha All Along premieres on September 18 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.

I still question if this series needed to be made in the first place.

@fanboy03191 - they greenlit it off the back of a song that was popular for about 3 days 3 years ago. It’s the pinnacle of scraping the barrel

@KennKathleen -

Wait... If you don't watch it, you won't get your required amount of Disney gay crammed down your throat. Then you won't believe that 3/4 of the population is 75% LBTGQR2D2 when it's really a very small percentage and that there are 52 genders.

How can you want to miss out on that????

TitusAshview - 9/17/2024, 8:20 AM
@DocSpock - Only 52?

You're so out of touch. The number is growing...

DAMMIT!! Counting to 52 was already pushing my limits.

@DocSpock - "you won't get your required amount of Disney gay crammed down your throat". But the inside out2/xmen article says Disney says less gay?

I DON'T KNOW WHICH NARRATIVE TO BELIEVE!

xfan320 - 9/17/2024, 7:16 AM
Soooo...

Don't watch it until more episodes drop?

Got it. 😁

We'll see how this works out for Disney. I held the same policy for the Acolyte (and look how that turned out lol)

@xfan320 - Do think it is likely to be better in some ways to wait till Halloween itself to binge the show...


...but depends if into all the online theorizing and such like we had with WandaVision, which was also slow to start and on a number of levels only realy got going after episode three. For some the talking about a show between episodes can be a bigger thing than the show itself and even if it didn't work for the Acolyte it has worked very well for many, many other shows with a mystery element.

Sucker for Halloween so would have been interested in this even if it wasn't Marvel but completely get why it wouldn't be to everyones tastes.

Your OTT gushing review will be a spectacle no doubt.

@DravenCorvis - Ah, been looking for you. Apparently Josh has blocked you, therefore can't see his remarks, so here was a response on a Fantastic 4 article (completely unrelated to what I was discussing) that I FINALLY after a week of digging got some word. I noted (thank you) how you highlighted he re-posted articles from the past to get clicks:-

“So there is no report, on a website, that claims to be bringing news?” The hell does this sentence even mean? If your TV reviews were as incoherent as your comments, I can see why it didn’t work out for you and you’ve resorted to stalking me on LinkedIn and leaving dumb comments. Anyway, I’m about to hop on a flight from Florida that your hate clicks paid for. Ciao! 😘

I responded with this:-

"Ah, so the creature speaks!! Been waiting to finally connect to the sewer of content for the site.

If you don't know what that sentence means then you are certainly shit out of luck, Old Bean. Stalking? Hate clicks? My goodness, you are all that thought you would be. Paranoid and pretentious. Your level of journalism equates to the old days of the Daily Star snapping pics of Jordan when she went to the shops. I'm glad you get paid for being a whore as that is quintessentially what you do. I'm sure bending over for Disney makes you good coin and funds trips to Florida.

It has also been told to me that you block people that criticise you. Very childish and proves this site is nothing more than a personal sandbox in order to spill your drivel. Even one user pointed out that you rehash old articles just to get those 'clicks'.

My findings are complete anyway. This site is a zoo of mediocrity. Have a nice incomplete life."



I've seen your many comments against him and would be glad to add them as weight for my piece if you permit. It's about online hacks ineffectually spreading rumours and exploiting social media to try make a living. I want to take it on as 25 years ago these same people ruin lives and characters of hard working people than themselves. Josh isn't the only one the piece by the way. Been looking into this and other place for a while. He's a goldmine though!

@TitusAshview - Imagine spending time and energy on an expose about something no one contends doesn't exist.

I'm writing an expose on this whole "gravity" thing, still doing some research but would you be interested in participating in the article with your thoughts?

Good to hear the mostly positive reactions thus far from the critics for the first 4 (out of 9) episodes so hopefully that continues , if not gets even better!!.

I don’t mind a slow start especially since it has a mystery element to it which helps build that aswell as amps up speculation & theories though hopefully it doesn’t get as crazy as WV did lol.

I’m sure some of the comments from certain critics on there are gonna have the manbabies on here flip a lid but oh well , sucks for them…

Anyway , I’m looking forward to the show since it seems fun!!.

@SATW42 -

As much as I too want to see that crowd cry their guts out (literally, if possible), inviting such conflict via flexing and gloating like that is not preferrable unless one is absolutely certain, and I'm talking greater than 100% here, that the end product will undoubtedly deliver and surpass expectations.

In other words, we should troll the trolls only when we can afford to. Otherwise we end up looking like trolls ourselves.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/17/2024, 8:05 AM
@DrReedRichards - I get that but we know it’s gonna end up happening either way so why not call them out beforehand?.
SATW42
SATW42 - 9/17/2024, 8:23 AM
@DrReedRichards - trolls were trolling as soon as it was announced. It’s gunna be worse than she-hulk around here because this show unapologetically isn’t for them

This site is going to be deliciously delightful the next month. Just acolyte times a thousand because this show won’t be so self serious so it kinda takes the piss out of the whiners a bit.

I’m sure it’ll be just fine, but it ain’t for me.

Might watch it with the wife if she wants to, but I’m more selective about what I waste my time with these days. This seems a bit too much like one of those CW shows.

I saw a synopsis of this show and it said, “fans wanted to see more of Agatha after WandaVision.”
My question is who wanted more Agatha???!!!
If anything I wanted to see what Mike Boner was doing. 🤣

Prediction:

- Critics score above 80%
- Audience Score below 40%
- Very low viewership
- Actors and behind the scenes people lash out at those not watching the show and who don’t like the show
- Actors call those who don’t like show bigots
- People who don’t like show make fun of show itself and the actors / producers
- Show is not renewed
- Small fan base of show attacks those who didn’t like it
- Disney will have lost money on this but never admits defeat or learns from their mistakes.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Every single time with one of these things.

@mountainman - Pretty much. Our show is gay and diverse. If you don't like it you're a racist, sexist, homophobe. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I guess we know why they waited until couple of days from the first episode to release the reviews lol compared to The Penguin series, you can tell HBO was confident in it by lifting the embargo early.

Seems that almost EVERYTHING now is being geared towards the LGBTQ segment of viewers in movies and TV shows etc. Meaning as a STRAIGHT dude I'm NOT the target audience. FINE, I'm ok with that, but the PROBLEMS start when people like me don't watch and SUPPORT the queer content(it's just not for me but nothing WRONG with it)we get labeled as HOMOPHOBIC and anti yada Yada Yada. Im not the audience they want so why is it a. Issue of I don't watch it?
