Wonderful homage to late 70s early 80s teen slasher movies. I particularly relished the retainer being put in it’s carrying case. 😆

I think someone else already mentioned it but the style of each episode is great. It gives each episode unique feel and is a nice spiritual callback to WandaVision where each episode was a different era of TV (mostly).

Ok fuck the haters this show is killing it!

I wasn’t sure at first. Agatha Harkness is a side character in the comics and was a side character in a show.

All I knew pretty much is that she was a grey area character that interacted with Wanda and Dr Strange a lot. Also that she was a wrinkled old woman, not sexy-ass Kathryn Hahn.

I didn’t know what to expect. It’s not super connected to the MCU right now, but man this show is a super fun Halloween romp.

It’s not super connected to the MCU right now

I hope it continues to grow and we get more films and shows exploring the mystical side of the MCU. So far Doctor Strange (and his films) are the only ones to explore it.

Obviously the multiverse, but things like the mirror dimension or Dormamu have plenty of story left to explore.

Don’t forget Werewolf By Night.

If they continue the pattern of a Halloweeny project every year we should get some pretty fun supernatural stuff.

I totally did forget it. Swamp Thing especially needs a return.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

*Man-Thing

Swamp-Thing is DC :)

And yes. They should just make the 2006 movie canon

And why didn't Rio come out of the trial house?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think that's a setup for next episode. Is she doing something in there with Alice's corpse? Rio said (last?) episode that she is tagging along on the Road to "get my bodies."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Also Rio appeared from the grave of Sharon/Mrs Hart, and they called her out specifically in this episode.

Assuming she was taking care of Alice the rest are all in the ground. (Except Teen).

So I think we get to learn what getting the bodies actually means.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What!

I have so many questions.

So is Teen... The bad guy?

So my immediate guess is that they all just died and we're about to learn a lot more about Rio.

At first I thought Teen was controlling the other witches, but clearly not, but someone was.

Also you can't just kill Alice like that. Was Agatha really out of control?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Something very sketch is definitely going on. I'm not sure how much of the episode to believe really happened. Agatha's comportment completely shifting and her sudden awareness of who Teen is, the casual way Lilia responded to Alice's death and Teen's outburst, nobody was behaving in-character for the last scene. Maybe we just saw the beginning of a trial for Teen?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

That last shot of Teen wearing (Wanda's?) crown after burying the witches in mud seemed to me like he may have been physically somewhere else? Potentially dreamwalking like Wanda did in DS2? Also the music in the credits after Billie Eilish sounded very similar to the Multiverse of Madness Main Titles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

"Where is my book?" - "Where did you last have it?" - "on a broom :(" That was delivered so perfectly

Oh my good they killed Alice!

Agatha was reeking of Joker energy in that conversation with "Teen", taunting him for being "like his mother"... down to the big smile.

Also, "You should see me in a crown" obviously is a reference when seeing "Teen" wear a Wanda-esque crown.... but the song being by Billie Eilish? After we just had confirmation from the Ouija board that Nicholas Scratch seems indeed to be dead?

Wtf kind of rollercoaster was this episode?? I dont even know what is real anymore. It's peak Wandavision again.
