The MCU introduced a new rule in its latest Disney+ series, Agatha all alongWhich makes the Scarlet Witch more intimidating despite her death two years ago. One of the biggest questions of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was about whether Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, actually died. She was crushed in the collapse of Mount Wundagore, but a burst of red energy led people to believe she might still be alive. However, Marvel essentially confirmed her death in Agatha all along By Rio Vidal hinting that the witch is gone.
With Wanda’s death, Agatha can finally climb out of the spell the Scarlet Witch put her under and go the witches’ road to regain her powers. The first two episodes of the Wandavision Spinoff further establishes the world of witches in the MCU and its wider lore. It introduces new rules that witches follow, in addition to Agatha’s coven and the Salem Seven. One rule that Agatha explains in the second episode makes the Scarlet Witch more powerful, even after her death.
Agatha all along establishes witches exist very close to each other
Agatha all along Has some conveniences that Agatha uses to quickly find her coven so she can embark down the witches’ road. The witches she finds are all very close to Westview, but there is an explanation. While she and Joe Locke’s mysterious character search for witches, Agatha explains the Cowenstead Rule, which states, “Wherever you are, there will be an alliance.” This phrase means that within a three mile radius, there will be a “Gathering of Vichy-enough people to form a coven.”

This rule creates many plot holes, because if someone is in a less populated area, it may be less likely that they will find many witches near them. However, since Westview is set in New Jersey, a densely populated state, it is possible that Agatha may find many witches near her. Still, it feels like a made-up rule to explain how Agatha can find her coven and the show can move the plot along.
How Marvel’s new rule makes Scarlet Witch even more powerful
Agatha all along Shown that many witches live near Westview and there may be even more than the ones Agatha recruits for her coven. This means Many witches were in the area when Agatha and Wanda fought in Wandavisions finale. They would be able to detect any magical activity happening near them, and they would be able to investigate the situation or intervene, especially those looking for Agatha.
However, the Scarlet Witch is possibly more powerful than any other witch, and the other witches may have stayed away for fear of fighting her. Wanda is even more intimidating, knowing that the other witches might have stayed away due to how powerful she is. While Agatha all along It’s all about Wanda’s antagonist, it makes the Scarlet Witch more terrifying with the presence she still has over Agatha and Westview.
