Here's What AGATHA ALL ALONG's Two-Episode Premiere Reveals About The Scarlet Witch's Fate - SPOILERS

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+, but what do they reveal about the Scarlet Witch's fate following the divisive events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

In WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff finally became the Scarlet Witch after Agatha Harkness made the Avenger aware of just how powerful she really is.

Later corrupted by the Darkhold, Wanda went on a rampage through the Multiverse on a quest to regain the sons she lost when the Hex surrounding Westview fell. Heading down that darker path eventually led to the Scarlet Witch destroying every copy of that book (in every reality) and burying herself beneath Mount Wundagore. 

Decisions made in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness haven't sat well with most fans and the hope is the Scarlet Witch will be revived in her long-rumoured solo movie. As you might expect, Agatha All Along does address Wanda's fate but exactly how much do we learn in those first two episodes?

While the body "Detective Agnes O'Connor" discovers in the woods is clearly meant to be Wanda, her face is never shown. We also learn that the whole scenario is playing out in the villain's head after the Scarlet Witch's disappearance and the destruction of the Darkhold distorted her spell.

The insinuation is that Wanda's death has caused that but our first hint all isn't what it seems comes when Herb tells Agatha their victim is definitely dead, prompting "Agnes" to respond "You never know" with a cheeky wink. 

Rio Vidal later says that Wanda is simply "gone," but the second episode sees Teen mention in passing that his mom is dead (and if he really is Billy, then it seems the Scarlet Witch is at least believed dead right now).

While the first two episodes don't provide the answers we'd hoped for - in fact, we barely get anything more than what was in the trailers - it seems Marvel Studios is taking the Steve Rogers approach to Wanda's apparent demise by not confirming her status. In doing so, it leaves the door open to a return or, if Elizabeth Olsen declines, leaving the character permanently on the shelf. 

However, we still have a pretty strong feeling that definitive answers will arrive by the time the finale rolls around, particularly as the Scarlet Witch has an interesting history with the Witches' Road on the page. Could she be what Teen is actually searching for?

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+.

Scarlet Witch is an evil villain now. No redemption.

@Malatrova15 - wtf was wrong with the MCU?

And also, Sam Wilson rushing to save the villain that got shot and never giving a shit about his friend Sharon Carter, that also got shot.

@JobinJ - And why exactly does she need to be redeemed in order to have a movie? She's an interesting character and we've had villain projects before

Granted that Agatha All Along already has it's own story to tell, I think Chthon should have been the big bad for this Coven of Witches storyline that began with Wandavision and continued with Multiverse of Madness and Agatha All Along and I think should have come to a close with "The Scarlet Witch" solo movie that would have Wanda and Chthon face off. And that movie could have been a set up for a Ghost Rider movie. Zarathos, Mephisto, and Agatha could have played supporting roles in the Scarlet Witch movie. And maybe the seeds for a Midnight Sons could have been planet with the introduction of Lilith.

@SonOfAGif - thats a lot worldbuilding for a real MCU feature...how about just introducing a variant of a C list baddie and then fired him after some minor scandal (pick Tenoch or Majors is the same)

I don't think 'Teen' knows anything about the Scarlet Witch beyond what he probably researched. If he is Billy Kaplan, (which I believe he is), he's probably referencing his biological mom, Rebecca Kaplan. In the closing credits, Joe Locke's placard says, "Near Death in Westview". So, the producers are alluding 'Teen' had a near-death experience. His parents probably died in some incident, probably in a car crash, and 'Teen', (Billy Kaplan) "died" with them but was revived through chaos magic (Billy Maximoff) entering into his body.

If every episode will center on a particular witch, when 'Teen's episode has its turn, we'll probably get flashback scenes to his parents' deaths and his own.

@String - So do you think his wish will to get his mother back and it resurrects Wanda because it's the soul of Billy Maximoff?

@String - One of my theories was that the MCU would go with kids who Doc's thought were braindead on life support wake up due to the souls of the twins occupying the 'empty vessels' so you theory could be spot on as a way of implying that is the case whilst still allowing headcanon that it is still the same as the source as the souls of the twins drifting back in time a number of years and reincarnated.

@SonOfAGif Seems like a TV thing to do that he at least wants to speak to his Mum again and sets up the expectation we will see it be Wanda not who he expects. If that is the end result or not remains to be seen as could play the card that he DOES see his birth mother but as passed over she has awareness of his full story and delivers a line that directly or at least implies his connections to Wanda and his brother even if not fully explained/revealed.

Which ever way they go it could be tricky to land well but the cast is strong enough if the writing is on point to pull off what they go with. Considering Scarlet Witch put the spell on Agatha however and in the comics at times she lives on the Witches Road if memory serves so her turning up isn't out of the question for both Agatha and Teens narratives.

@Apophis71 - Since the Scarlet Witch trope is to paint as this globally hated being, I have a theory myself that continues to paint her as the villain. What if when Wanda created Billy and Tommy it was around the time that Teen was involved in a car accident that killed his parents. And the reason is because he was at the wheel and his soul was taken to create "Billy" and it caused the accident and when he woke up a few days later after Wanda reopened Westview, His soul returned to his body but with vague memories of Scarlet Witch and Agatha and the events of Wandavision. So for three years he's been researching how to walk the witches road to get his mother back.

@SonOfAGif - Yeh, something like that was another way I considered the MCU would play it.

@Apophis71 - It also continues to paint Wanda as the monster humanity sees her for and sets up a massive redemption arc in her solo film and in Secret Wars. Perhaps her and Loki working together to forge a new reality and timeline and becoming the creators of space and time and the cosmos of the new forged universe.
