Pretty sure Agatha was a nosy neighbor for three years and only flipped to detective mode the moment Wanda died. Wanda's spell was meant to keep her as nosy Agnes permanently, but her death distorted the spell. Watch the conversation with Herb after the spell is broken again. He talks about her sudden change to true crime enthusiasm as if it were very weird and not just the latest in a long string of TV related fantasy worlds.

She may have switch to True Crime after Rio breaks into the spell to get to her. And Rio is trying to tell her that Wanda is dead, hence the True Crime.

[@akuma_saint]

It's small but the opening credits for Agnes of Westview doesn't use the actors/actresses names IRL but the characters names like Hurb which also hints that the "show" is taking place in Agatha's head.

[@barbarahultman5450]

The hiding of Teen’s real name and backstory from Agatha is probably a protective spell placed on Teen by Wanda to protect him from Agatha and any vengeance she might want against Wanda and her children

[@gazorpazorp9798]

This.

[@brentrn]

Even the closed captions call him Teen

[@kelseywolf8577]

I might be reaching but also feel like when you watch the movement of his mouth as it’s being covered it almost looks like he ends his name with Maximoff which 👀

[@fhamirah]

And Billy ultimately becomes Wiccan. Notice when he put up the posters and when Agnes took them down the W didn’t fall off. It is a wild theory that what if Agnes is actually under Billy’s spell right after she got out of Wanda’s. And now Billy is manipulating her to walk the road so he can revive Wanda.

In the credits, when the actors names are shown, each image corresponds to their character. For example, the tarot cards being Patti Lupone (the fortune teller), the bugs for Aubrey Plaza (the green/earth witch), and the plants for Barbra Jo Rupp (the gardener). In the episodes they are not in, their name is missing, which is why the first episode has a bunch of blank spots that only show the imagery.

[@jonkehoe7542]

When they ripped the welcome sign down, only the W remained - like how the scribbled on Toto/Billy’s mouth looked like a W, I think Wanda has a protection spell on him and she is present in some way.

[@runewynd]

"If one be gone, we carry on, Spirit as our guide." That's a line from the Ballad (I dunno why the lyrics are incorrect in the transcription, but I listened with my headset several times to check it).

i think the jade agatha took may be kind of important later on. jade is known to heal in many ways. i know it’s kind of a stretch but i think it may be part of how agatha gets her powers back, healing her energy. i also think that maybe it could be used to mend the relationship between her and aubrey plaza’s character, healing their relationship. it’s also earth related cause ya know, it’s a rock, and i think it may have something to do with the earth witch. also, i think that it’s kind of apparent that joe locke’s character says “billy maximoff” when he’s being bleeped. i could be wrong on that though.

What about the part in episode one when agatha asks "are you sure she's dead" and he replies "she's really most sincerely dead"? This is a line from the munchkins in the wizard of Oz. Thoughts?

[@captainmorg95]

I'm only halfway through the video so maybe you touch on this later but: I think that Joe Locke is actually playing Nicholas Scratch. The only time we see him with Mr. Scratchy is when he is alone. I think the Darkhold maybe had Agatha give up something, a child sacrifice, but it was binding placed by the Darkhold onto Nick, binding him into the form of Mr. Scratchy. Now that the Darkhold is destroyed, the binding is weakened allowing him to maybe project himself into a limited form. But Agatha refers to Joe's character as her pet and her familiar. When he tries to say his name Agatha sees words across his mouth, as if a written binding.

[@CS-qc7np]

This what I thought too. I didn’t associate the “teen” with Billie. However, now I’m not sure who he is. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@realquadmoo]

2 things I noticed: Agatha has been displayed frequently with wizard of oz references as you mentioned, but remember that there was even one in WandaVision with her boots being left after the car hit her!! Also, this is kind of random but I never saw anybody talk about: I think the credits of WandaVision were showing chaos magic working

[@heidixmarissa]

in the end of vol 2 of scarlet witch, the series mentioned in this video - agatha & wanda survive the witches road with the help of natalia maximoff (wanda’s biological mother in the comics continuity) teen/billy says agatha is the only person to have ever completed the witches road. it’s gets a little muddy if you directly compare the comic run to the show, bc at the time when agatha & wanda go down the road, agatha is a ghost. they ultimately meet natalia on the road who helps them & sacrifices herself so that wanda & agatha can continue and succeed with the road. agatha then comes back to life and is not just a ghost. this is just a stretch of a theory. this comic run is just fresh in my brain because i read it within the last month.

[@ZackFord]

"she's really most sincerely dead" has to be another Wizard of Oz reference from the coroner's bit in the munchkinland sequence: "and she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead"

[@sparkpelt]

Great video! But small thing from a real practicing witch here: the Star in a circle is actually a PENTACLE not a Pentagram. The circle marks the difference. And although many see both terms as synonymous, since we’re dealing with magick and witches here it’s definitely a pentacle being used.

[@travisleathern4315]

Yep. The pentagram used to be a symbol of protection but over time it has shifted into a symbol associated with evil so the pentacle was created to more or less battle the stigma the pentagram has garnered. The pentagram is now used to symbolize devil worshipers whereas the pentacle is used to symbolize, again, protection but also the modern day witch/pegan/wiccan.

What an incredible show!! I wasn't expecting it to be that great. Can't wait for the rest 💜

I hope Agatha end up Being the nanny for the Richards children!

I'm pretty sure there was a reference to That 70's Show just prior to The Ballad: 1. They're in a basement that *sort of* resembles the Foreman basement 2. The camera pans in a circle to show one character in frame at a time as they each speak their line 3. Mrs. Hart (Kitty Foreman) says she "doesn't do drugs", which is what normally happens in these scenes but her character is a straight edge in the referenced show

Bummed we didn't get the "Agatha All Along" song, but the first two episodes were SO good! Cautiously optimistic!

[@dreworyan5652]

as someone from New Jersey... it warms my heart everytime I hear "Woodur" and "Crick" hahaha

I thought the letter in his mouth was a W, just as the W is the only letter standing from the banner For you know… Wiccan

[@kylesmith3211]

I thought it was for wanda

[@magister343]

It looked like a W and an M to be, probably for the initials of Wanda Maximoff.

[@constantine9142]

I had chills many times during rhe two episodes! Such a good sign. The Hecate song, the crawl your way out, kitty, and etc im so happy with this show so far

[@OtakuAnime01]

Blackheart is Mephisto's "son". He is a common antagonist to Ghost Rider as seen in the first Ghost Rider movie.

I think Teen is either Chthon, or the Darkhold itself attempting to re-enter this reality.

[@mrbmore410]

I got True Blood vibes when I heard episode 1 intro theme.

[@Ace20999]

Same

[@mildhoof]

Me too! God i loved that show

[@jeden75]

It also throws in some True Detective. The captions say "Ballad of the Witches' Road (True Crime version) playing" so it seems like a mix of a bunch of HBO theme songs.

[@Froginth3bog]

The pentagram with a circle around it is actually called a pentacle! :] - a practicing witch

[@wwholesome]

I really want to know if that statue in Deadpool and Wolverine is actually Wanda's from the 616. Only because that was the original script of the Darkhold.

[@JohnLaw3742]

In the comics, Blackheart is also the son of Mephisto…. Not the Bees!!!

[@LeonScottKennedy69]

Maybe videl is daughter of mep?

[@thomashouleandabbyking5925]

I liked the first 2 episodes the first episode fells like a slow burn but episode 2 things start to get decent.

[@Kaelon16]

He’s not Billy. It’s Nicholas Scratch for suuuuuuureeeee

[@blairhoughton7918]

It's Mephisto.

[@Kaelon16]

@@blairhoughton7918 possibly in the body of Nicholas cuz that happens in the comics too

[@marcusyates3044]

I'm still for the episodes that are tributes to horror film eras
