Agatha all along Featured an unexpected cameo from The Simpsons and fueled an MCU theory that had me convinced. Agatha all along is well underway in depicting the titular witch traversing the Witches’ Road and tackling her trials alongside a ragtag coven. Unsurprisingly, themes of the occult permeate the show and offer a refreshing horror-tinged spin on Marvel’s typical formula while being full of pop culture references and inspirations – with the parallels between Witches’ Road and Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz Being especially prominent.
The show is also liberal with plot-related breadcrumbs for the audience to follow. Before Agatha all along It was aired on September 18, it was revealed that the original song used to access Witches’ Road contained details about how the plot would progress. Sharon Davis’ death was one event heralded by the lyrics of “The Ballad of the Witches Way,” but another hint was contained in the credits as white lilies—flowers typically associated with death—were included next to her name. This fact makes me believe there are more clues hidden in the Agatha all along Credits.

The Simpsons characters that were once owned by Fox now also fall under Disney’s purview after its acquisition of the studio in 2019, which is also why Fox’s X-Men have already appeared in the MCU. That’s also why The Simpsons is available to stream on Disney Plus. According to the credits already signposted a great development, however, I am convinced that using a shot of the Simpsons episode, in particular, runs deeper than Disney simply flaunting his rights.
As Agatha All Along’s Simpsons Reference Fuels Wiccan Theories Explained
Lisa insists in the scene that she is a Wiccan
Despite sporting a stereotypical witch’s outfit, Lisa Simpson insists on “Treehouse of Horror xix“That She is a Wiccan and not a witch After Milhouse compliments you”Witch costume.” Marvel may be replicating this misunderstanding by including Lisa in a montage full of witches, but I doubt it. Marvel has a famous track record of hiding pertinent Easter eggs throughout its movies and shows, and Agatha all along is mature with them.

Until now, the “Funny“Crossovers in the MCU were when two Marvel IPs collided, such as the three Spider-Men in Spider-Man: No Way Home And the many cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine. All of these have been facilitated in the multiverse saga of the MCU by the multiverse itself, which makes it completely understandable that the non-MCU Marvel movies of the past take place in alternate universes.
