I’m even mad about the Scarlet Witch’s multiversal crimes after Agatha’s latest revelation

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along Episode 6.

yet Agatha all along Episode 6, I’m angrier than ever about the Scarlet Witch’s multiversal killing spree. The end of WandaVision Set up Wanda’s villainous turn Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, And I was personally excited to see how this would be handled. Although I like Doctor Strange 2 A fair amount and I think Wanda was a compelling antagonist, I found there to be some aspects that could have been explored more thoroughly, namely how Wanda was corrupted by the Darkhold, thus explaining how she is suddenly okay with committing multiversal mass murder .

yet Agatha all along By the end of episode 6, however, I found myself looking back on Scarlet Witch’s turn more negatively. Although the reason for this is rooted in solid storytelling based on Joe Locke’s Marvel character of Billy Maximoff, I can’t help but be disappointed with how Wanda’s actions have been rendered completely unnecessary. Through the stories of Agatha all alongThe cast of characters, Wanda gets a lot of retroactive context, with no plot point suffering from it more than her universe-spanning killing spree in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Wanda’s villain story gets even darker

As I mentioned before, I feel that the reveals in Agatha all along Play Wanda’s multiversal killing spree from Doctor Strange 2 Totally unnecessary. In the meantime, I will note that these revelations do not increase my unhappiness from the last one, and this feeling is more rooted in a tragic irony, which makes for an obsession. Regardless, the fact that Wanda searched the multiverse and killed several people in the hopes of finding her children was sadly unnecessary due to the fact that one of them, Billy, was in the next town over in Westview.

This adds the aforementioned level of ironic sadness to Wanda’s story. Despite Doctor Strange 2s Finally doing a good job of condemning Wanda’s actions, I felt sad to see you get down because of how WandaVision And the previous MCU stories made me care about her.

Why can’t Wanda find Billy or Tommy after WandaVision?

Agatha all along somehow explains this


Billy and Tommy disintegrate into the hex in WandaVision

As I mentioned earlier, Agatha all along has recontextualized Doctor Strange 2 In this way, though with a story that makes sense. The first way the former did this was by investigating why Wanda couldn’t find Billy and Tommy on Earth-616, subsequently resulting in her searching for America Chavez and traveling the multiverse. At least where Billy is concerned, Agatha all along Addresses this potential plot hole through the revelations about the seal that has been placed on him since the series premiere.

Here, Lilia’s powers of divination reveal to her that William will eventually become Billy Maximoff, resulting in her placing the seal on him to protect him from the ramifications of being the Scarlet Witch’s son. As Agatha explains in episode 4, even the witch who placed the sigil will not remember doing so, explaining why Lilia – as well as every other witch in the world – cannot sense Billy’s powers.

Once the sail breaks in Agatha all along Episode 6, the titular character explains that any witch with a heartbeat will be able to sense Billy now. Herein lies the explanation for why Wanda can’t feel Billy yet WandaVision. The sigil was preventing this, resulting in her multiversal rampage. Where Tommy Maximoff is in Agatha all the same, However, the answer is somewhat less clear, although I have a theory.

In the comics, Tommy is reborn as Tommy Shepherd, a troubled youth. Tommy’s super-speed powers eventually manifest and he destroys a school, leading to him being contained in a high-security facility that dampens his powers. If it’s revealed that the MCU’s Tommy Maximoff has a similar fate, that could explain why Wanda can’t feel him either.
