I maintain that Agatha All Along is one of the best MCU series to date, but in the two-part finale I felt a little let down by the conclusion of the so-called miniseries, which definitely didn't end like one.

The final had strong elements. The whole idea that Witch Street was always a lie concocted by Agatha over generations to farm witches was very…Agatha and a nice twist (it really was…Agatha all along). It is also revealed that Billy manifested the whole thing actually Finding a path in life thanks to his Wanda-like powers is something I could support.

In the end, however, it felt like the show was back where it started, albeit with a few dead witches along the way.

The series began with Wanda's corpse and a supposedly impending MCU resurrection, but failed to achieve Billy's ultimate goal of reviving his mother, with whom he apparently no longer had a bond with after the confusing events in Westview, which he no longer fully remembers . So the series ends without Wanda.

Rather, we are told that Billy Strictly speaking wants to find his twin brother Tommy. But we didn't manage to do that by the end of the series either. Instead, Billy finds a corpse in Tommy in the form of a currently dying teenager, but we already suspected him had one body all the time. The series ends with a continued search for Tommy, which is what the series ultimately began with, and it seemed like no progress had been made.

Agatha's story here was… strange. We flashback to the birth of her child Nicholas, where she makes a deal with Rio Vidal/Death to save his life for an unknown amount of time. But as for the long-mentioned romance between the two, we're given no information about exactly how it began and how a witch and…literally, death became intertwined. I know a lot of people who were eager to see more of this romance were disappointed, despite the MCU-first “kiss of death” moment at the end.

For a show that felt very much like a TV show, it ended up feeling like another project that was supposed to lead directly into some other unknown other Marvel projects. A Wicca series, a Speed ​​series, a Wanda film, who knows. Agatha ended up as… a ghost, which may seem a bit coincidental, but it's a reference to a comic book story in which she becomes Wanda's ghostly mentor. If we see her again in the future, I hope she either solidifies or comes back to life, as I'm not sure the transparent version of her should stick around indefinitely.

I still really love the series as a whole and enjoyed the big “reveals” at the end. I just don't think the series has delivered on its central promise of actually reaching a meaningful finale that makes the perilous journey to Witches Road worthwhile. This is disappointing, although in the end I will still give the series a high place in the MCU catalog.
