WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO ME? | AGATHA ALL ALONG EP 7 REACTION

[@reelqueerreact]

Hi Witches! Thank you so much for the support on this series! This has been a fun ride and I cannot wait to see the other witchy things Marvel gets into~

[@demibeans]

Agatha All Along is what “let them cook” would be if it was a show lol. People get so impatient nowadays because streaming has gotten us used to just getting the answers. Proper build up and tension is a dying art. But I’m so glad that they chose this direction for the series, and that they really thought through how to weave Lilia’s story into all the past episodes. This is one of the best paced episodes I’ve seen from any of the Disney+ Marvel shows and just Marvel in general tbh. At least for a very long time now. I’m so stoked to see the double finale episodes. Need next week to come sooner 🤩

[@lowkeyproductions6681]

Yes! I couldn’t understand when people were hating on the show after episode 1 just because they were confused. I thought we all learned after WandaVision that this team loves to play with form and storytelling tropes, so I don’t get why they were put off by it being a detective show for one episode.

[@stevenrogers2684]

This is why it's better NOT to dump these shows all at once to binge watch.

[@Rutabega_NG]

At the end Lilia left her coven with a few gifts - She returned Billy's book (brain) to him She told Agatha what do when when she's called a coward (courage) And sharing herself with Jen gave Jen some empathy for someone else (heart). For herself, she went home. That's The Wizard of Oz tie-in. I can't take credit for deciphering that one, wish I could. ------------------------ Jac Schaeffer understands the difference between television episodes and cutting a movie into eight chunks. They let her do her thing for this one, that's why it works. Hopefully the buzz around this episode will get people pausing and deciding to give this a shot because this is just some brilliant television. This show is definitely not getting the love it deserves, but maybe all of the buzz around this episode will finally get people giving it a shot.

[@Jumbaride]

One of the things I love most about this series is the symbolism to real world social issues. Without going into detail, Agatha and her Mother (LGBT), Agatha's struggle to not take power (addiction), and now Lilia (the invisibility of an older woman in American society; the forgotten woman) and (how people with Alzheimer's and similar mental illnesses are often dismissed as kooky and then ignored; the forgotten woman). I'm sure people will disagree with my assessment, but that's the beauty of art... it affects many of us in different ways. This episode was the definition of Art; the writing, directing, visuals, music, and Patti Fu**ing LuPone made this the best episode to date (in my opinion).

[@Lolamy]

I aso think Agatha and her mother can represent how some mothers are somewhat hostile to their daughters and can see them as like a "competition". Think those "boy moms" and the like. They praise their sons but then dismiss their daughters.

[@V_4_Versace]

I definitely saw the Alzheimer’s and dementia feel with Lilia so I like your other assessments as well! I never thought of them like that

[@Jumbaride]

​@@V_4_VersaceThank you! 🩵

[@jholmes553]

YES! Lilia is the GOAT but also, Jen's character development in this episode was amazing. The Jen who entered the Witches' Road would have picked the path to the subway and out to safety. But this Jen is different now. This Jen is the High Priestess who will soon get herself unbound.

[@Jumpoable]

Jennifer Kale in the comics (although a white blonde woman LOL) is a powerful sorceress that Dr Strange thought could become Sorceress Supreme, & is also good friends with the nexus being Man-Thing (already debuted in Werewolf by Night already).

[@carrieknief7490]

This is one of the greatest episodes of television I've seen from any series. So many feelings; it's so bittersweet. Give them all the awards!

[@Jazz41173]

I don't believe Lilia's power is only seeing death. I think she meant it felt like all she saw was death. Like when she left each one with a piece of advice before closing the exit.

[@ThatsMyUsborneBook]

An episode to sit with - just the idea of how we experience time, how if we become unknown or disregarded at any point in life, can we still know ourselves, remember ourselves.

I don't understand people who don't like this show. I understand it's campy, but it's got a lot of serious emotion underneath. I saw people SO MAD that Billy was wearing makeup in this one. (As if actors are not always covered in makeup.) They did this really cool structure and set it up from the beginning and you're mad about some lipstick? Anyway, I cried so hard. I liked how her relationship with Jen grew in this episode.

[@zenithquasar9623]

People are idiots and farming hatred and snobbery on the internet for clicks. Sooner people stop caring about what others think and just enjoy what they enjoy is better. This show is clearly amazing for the right audience, let's be happy that we are getting fed exactly what we want. The haters can just seethe in their hatred and just miss out on something fun !

[@stevenrogers2684]

Mad? Where'd you see "mad"?

[@zenithquasar9623]

This show is a masterpiece! Honestly, one of the best surprises I have had in my life! Like, it is not just one of the favourite things from this year, it is one of my favourite things ever so far!!!

[@Jumpoable]

Riiiiiiight???

[@yesitislikethat]

Why did I boo-hoo cry at the end? 😭 I mean, _literally_ sobbed. Patti LuPone delivered. I’ve always loved her. 🩶 Also, funny that you mentioned LOST, because this episode reminded me of the _The Constant_ episode. 🧡

[@normaladjacent]

At the end of Jen’s trial, she shoved Lilia out of the way to escape through the oven first. At the end of Lilia’s trial, Jen urged Lilia to go ahead of her. A really nice parallel. ❤ I think Jen will escape the Road soon (maybe through the subway tunnel she and Lilia saw), but I don’t think she’s going to die. Jen’s the path ahead, Lilia says. She’s found her power and opened herself up again, and she has more work to do as the “high priestess” back in the real world. And hopefully back on our screens in future Marvel projects. 👀 Agatha and Billy have done a bit of a switch-up, from Billy falling over himself to praise and defend her, while she dismisses and mocks him, to Billy shutting her out completely, while she seems desperate to regain his admiration and trust. I hope they can have a heart to heart in the finale because I think they both need each other! I also think Rio is going to want to claim Billy’s body. He broke the rules, according to Agatha. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he and Rio showed up in Westview on the same day, with Rio telling Agatha she was there to do her “job.”

[@ThatsMyUsborneBook]

Great insight about Jen's growth

[@katschaccc]

This one made me cry. She is really a good witch. And now that she starts again, maybe she can save her coven with all that she knows now. This episode deserves all the Emmys! ❤️😭

[@ThatsMyUsborneBook]

I think the fact that the episodes are so short and are a week in-between, means that there is time and space to fill in stories and theories. It's very much how I remember experiencing Lost live. The theories we had!

[@NTC-SChinEngoTaganos]

It's the stress after watching the episode and realizing that it is the best episode of all episode and if not, the best out of all episode of MCU 😢❤

[@dean1543]

This episode had me in tears when I first watched it. Didn’t help that I was smoking 🍃 while watching it. Such a beautifully written, directed, and acted episode! Patti LuPone deserves an Emmy this very minute.

[@LentrellDeal-d3e]

The best episode 🥺

[@AmanCreatesArt]

Jen is the hag version of Evil Queen from Snow White. Billy is Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. (I guess folks get them confused because they both cast sleeping spells.)

[@shakeshahollins]

I felt that ending all the way. I wish it was longer.

[@georgeweatherford1027]

They don't NEED to be the target demographic. Nobody NEEDS to have asked for it. (Who asked for Lost or for Prison Break or for The Bear?) It is ridiculous to assume that a streaming service would only serve one group of people when they asked for it.

[@graphiquejack]

Incels turn into whiny bishes when something isn’t tailored made for their sorry azzes. The irony is the shows they want all feature hot muscle guys in tight costumes (no homo). Are they self aware enough to know how ridiculous that is?

[@samanthat.2633]

Agreed: need more Lilia! Damn can’t we keep a good witch. I appreciate your Editor’s notes cuz I too get after thoughts. I learned too that the roots on the walls were yellow to match younger Lilia’s training dress. Seems to not only represent the Queen of Cups but also symbolize Hope and finally having a sunny disposition towards the inevitable which is Death.

[@maikosaikomusic]

not you catching all the little character moments 🥰 this episode felt like such a reward for actually paying attention.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

This is the greatest episode of ANY show I have ever seen. Cam Squires and Gia King wrote episode 7 of *Agatha All Along* and for me, that is a perfect example of why you need diversity in the writer's rooms. This was beyond perfection in every department: acting, costumes, set design, practical sets (!!!), directing, Script Supervisor (the person on set who keeps track of continuity), and, of course, the writers!!!!! I love Jennifer so much! And when you look at her beautiful growth over the course of the show, it is no wonder she will be the path ahead (hello Midnight Sons!!!). In the 3rd episode, when the oven door opens for them to leave, *Jennifer literally PUSHES Lilia out of the way* so she can escape first! And now, in episode 7, she says, *"I'm not going ahead of you!"* WOW!!!! Just...wow. Perfection. I have LOVED experiencing this show again through your amazing channel!!!! (2 more episodes to go! 🤗🥰)

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

One other comment. I seriously hate the people who say they "aren't the demographic" for this show because realistically, this show is appealing to EVERYONE who wants quality television. I am not part of the LGBTQ community and I don't need to be to enjoy seeing REAL PEOPLE in a show!! I LOVE that no one in *Agatha All Along* is treated like a stereotype. I love that a young man has a boyfriend and they are allowed to kiss like Any Normal Couple Would! If you miss the days of having QUALITY television, This Show Is It! Let's be real: *the lack of quality is why I am STILL pissed off about Secret Invasion!* 😆😅

[@79mib]

You CANNOT destroy me with that song at the end 🥲

[@oathy03]

Watched this 3 times already, granted another shorter episode but it didn't need to be longer these shorter ones give the biggest punches. The acting was amazing and it was brilliant how they put all those comments together from the previous episodes, The part at the end was heartbreaking, but the reveal of Rio while we expected it was scary you could see she loved every second of it. Noticed Billy is showing a darker side to himself not quite sure I like it. Don't believe for one moment he's not interested in Wanda he might be angry. Disney have a brilliant blueprint for the future they dont need to spend millions on a series get the right actors and script. This is by far the best show I've watched for a long time.

[@ParticleZon]

A darker side, or is it just rebellious teen attitude because the witch he was fangirling over majorly fell off her pedestal and now he doesn't think he can trust her at all. And he's making with the judgements, which is what I think caused Agatha to fall back into her Bad Witch persona. ("You are so much like your mother.") She's lived there for centuries.

[@JADTO]

That ending hit me

[@seese9456]

Lilia's life is technically cyclical, which you could tell from this episode because the starting shot was the same as the ending one, forming a loop like the snake eating its own tail. She can also be considered immortal because her mind and spirit experience time in a nonlinear fashion. At the end of the episode, she stayed behind because she wanted to protect her "new" coven to get closure for not being able to save her "old" coven. Additionally, her witch trial and life journey was her learning to accept fate and the nature of her existence. As a sidenote, 2 witches from the Salem Seven might be still alive because we only see and hear 5 of them get impaled by the ceiling swords - since two of them can transform into flying animals.

[@mstaylor1073]

Hey there! I loved what you said in the beginning of the video about hate watchers. Nothing will get me off your channel quicker than a hater so thank you. I subbed cause of that and you are hilarious. So my thoughts.. Fantastic episode! This one and last weeks were my favorite. Jen is the future. Shes not dying. Thats what the tarot said and then Lila said it before she closed the door. Love that. Def need more bw in the mcu. Its billys coven. Not wandas. And i think only 5 of the 7 are dead. Aren't there two birds? Excited for next weeks dose of two.

William made a comment that covens are formed by mysterious forces so that is supposedly saying that he didn’t create the coven nor did Agatha. The coven formed naturally. They were drawn together.

[@jcs1025]

I’m still holding to the theory that William/Billy has created this version of the road in his subconscious. First, he’s the one that initiates every single trial. Second, some of these match up to what we saw in his room, like this episode. There’s some connection here that hasn’t been put together yet.

[@x0habiib0x]

Ooooh. Witches aren’t good or evil. They’re either on their journey or evolved. They’re all witches at different steps of life. The “evil” witches of the coven still haven’t found their way. Lilia finds hers in this episode. She evolves.

[@rhaelicent]

Waiting a week is both incredibly annoying but also so cool. It’s been years since I felt this big of an urge to see the next episode (another show I love is HOTD, but I know the source material and also knew spoilers so I wasn’t as impatient for the next episode)

[@jcs1025]

After the first or second episode, I kind of understood why the show might not appeal to everyone. Honestly, I didn’t watch WandaVision and I only started watching this because I’m in love with Joe Locke (Joe, I’m single if your reading this 😂😂), but since then I’ve gone back and watched WandaVision and continue to watch this every week. This show is amazing. It has incredible casting, a great writing, and all of that on the lowest budget Marvel project ever.

[@nyasahndrx3331]

Agatha saw a body while she was under the curse? Maybe that’s why she’s unclear?

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

there's too much to list, Agatha's mind is blown by all of this and I think she doesn't want to give anything away and either make her vulnerable to Teen or risk destabilizing whatever mind he has any further than it already is, and she also doesn't know if the body was even real

I think a lot of your theories are spot on! there’s a bigger one I won’t spoil yet but you’re already on the right track. Re: Agatha’s expression in the beginning when she’s looking at Billy ahead of her - I see hurt there. As he says later, she’s been telling him the truth, and he hasn’t been listening. He basically hasn’t stopped going for her neck since the end of ep 5. He’s been making her the villain but she isn’t, not truly. Also plays into a larger theory I have that I won’t expand on here but I can’t wait to see where it plays out. But whenever she snaps at him or turns on her evil villain mode, it’s always a reaction to what people are assuming she is (aka evil, the worst, etc.), and then she tries to take control of the narrative by being the best villain she can be. But it’s an act, a mask, a defense mechanism. At her core, Agatha is deeply wounded, which is reflected in her tarot card. She needs to heal those wounds to step into her true self and show the coven and especially Billy who she really is, which is where I think we’re headed in the finale. But if we’re following WandaVision structure, which we kind of have been, then episode 8 is the flashback/trauma dump episode for Agatha so grab your tissues for that.

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

[@LynnLeFey1]

in retrospect, it's still not clear to me if Lilia put the sigil on Teen to keep him hidden from Wanda, or Agatha, or Rio, or maybe even herself. Or all of those.

[@nox_tech_]

maybe wanda, mostly. billy upon reincarnation, was an amnesiac, traumatized, confused, and immensely powerful. wanda, who owns the darkhold by the end of wandavision, might not have handled it well, especially with how the darkhold would corrupt her intentions. billy, our little reality warper witch, would not have handled it well at all. he needed time, and that was the call lilia made.

[@kamenriderloong2673]

When Lilia mentioned it ( I hated this the first time !!) which timeline is she mentioning or linked to ?

She said that in the first episode in her home, she heard that sound. She is referring to the sound that happened on the ouija episode, when Agatha is possessed

[@urbnctrl]

Gotta say I am a traditional superhero kinda guy that was very sceptical about this because lets be honest, like alot of other marvel fans I had grown very critical to the MCU because of all the, dare I say it even? I hate to misuse the term, but for lack of better words, because of all the "wokeness" that was being injected into projects. I thought it was just some agenda that was being forced on me which I could not identify with at all. Agatha all along showed me it was not the "woke" element that annoyed me, at all.. it was literally the bad writing of the characters and story. Agatha All Along really blew me out of that bubble, after coming from Deadpool and Wolverine which I really loved. I am not even gonna lie, AAL might be myfavorite MCU project so far. I think the criticism on this show are from people who have let the setbacks of the past cloud their judgement and not see this show for the marvel that it is. They managed to reel us in with an amazing story and set of characters, and still make this inclusive without making it feel forced or fake at all, all the characters are just bosses in their own right, I hope marvel sees the positive reaction to this and keeps it up.. Cause I am a fan. I got woken up by the amazing writing of this show and the characters, how they use symbolism and representation in such a sublime manner to expand our horizon, and this episode actually made me tear up a bit lmfao!

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

10:00 ❤ 😢 that's why she's the good witch probably, she's always trying to stick her neck out to help others mitigate fatal confrontation 😭 she floats in and out and dispenses strange guidance jen is hawking hazardous concoctions for consumption by the naive (sharon didn't stand a chance) wm/b is brimming with power (and malevolent-appearing plots?) that leads to massive fallout and unintended consequences (the maximoff tell is probably related to that, like that juvenile octopus in finding nemo that inked when it was startled) and agatha is miss gulch, difficult to satisfy in class and the subconscious mind's worst nightmare

[@jenny_lee_87]

💜💜

[@somewhereonlyweknow2814]

The ONLY critique I have about this show is how they’re focusing waaaay too much on Billy and his whole story. Like…….. I want AGATHA lmao and the witches and also Agatha and Rio’s relationship, I’m not clicking on this show to know about no Wanda son lol it’s so hard to care. I also don’t think it’s fair that they’re using Agatha and HER SHOW as a sort of Trojan horse to introduce Billy into the MCU. Agatha is a badass lesbian witch in love with Death herself, and that’s more than interesting enough to keep the whole show going, but they keep shifting the focus to show a man’s story. Like… he will go on to have so many more opportunities to shine in his own projects, can we just FOR ONCE let the women and their relationships take center stage??? It’s so tiring when every women-centered media (ESPECIALLY LESBIAN ONES!!!) keeps finding a way to shift focus to some man on the cast. Mind you, he’s the ONLY male character in a show stock full of amazing women (lesbians and straights) and they STILL managed to make the whole thing about him. 1 entire episode about him alone (one of the longest episodes on the whole show even) when they couldn’t even give us enough backstory on the main character herself. Again, SO TIRING.
