Though Marvel’s track record on the big screen has been shaky as of late, its output on Disney+ has slowly but surely been redeeming the franchise. Its most recent series haven’t all been winners, but Loki, Echo, and X-Men '97 each brought something fresh to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. That’s especially the case for Agatha All Along, which rounded out the year on the live-action front. The WandaVision spinoff expanded the magical side of the MCU in a major way, but it also delivered on the potential of its title character, played to perfection by Kathryn Hahn.
Agatha Harkness embarks on a journey to recover her power in Agatha All Along, but her quest on the Witches’ Road doesn’t end the way many expected it to. Sure, the introduction of Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan (Joe Locke), was on most Marvel fans’ wish list — but revealing him as the inadvertent mastermind behind so many of Agatha’s witchy misadventures was definitely... not. Agatha also pays the ultimate price for centuries of magic appropriation, giving her life so that Billy’s can continue (with the Young Avengers, maybe?). Still, her journey doesn’t have to end with Agatha, as she manages to reappear as a ghost to mentor Billy further.
