Agatha All Along Finale Recap: Like Mother(s) Like Son(s)


This story’s ending (and beginning, and middle) confirms Agatha is not a good person, but she is a great character.

I know exactly what I thought we’d be getting from Agatha All Along: a solid TV series starring some of the greats, with a couple fun twists that nonetheless would eventually give way to a CGI fight and typical tie-in to the greater Marvel universe. But we also got a surprisingly bold and astonishingly self-assured piece of TV work that managed to avoid the usual Marvel pitfalls — endless blue-screen sky fights, Ouroboros references to Avengers lore, any single agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., et cetera — to become something all its own. This sequence also has the grounding force of Billy, now decked out in full Wiccan garb, at the height of his powers even after donating some to Agatha — who, in an extremely uncharacteristic act, manages to stop herself before sucking every ounce of it out of his body.
