Agatha All Along, Witchcraft Hiding Mediocrity

Agatha All Along, Witchcraft Hiding Mediocrity

A month ago, the reactions for Agatha All Along had surfaced. The series was being bombarded with positive reviews only, which was weird enough as the series was not even released by then. At the same time, it was being speculated if the series would face the same problems “Acolyte” faced. Well, we can clearly see now that there was certainly something peculiar with the reactions, as they don’t seem to match the reception.

While Marvel continues on its comeback journey, Agatha all along has become yet another Fumble for the MCU. With immature deliveries and cringeworthy sequences, Agatha all along remains just another project working in favor of Disney’s woke agenda movies. This time the project is being called the “gayest” project, and it remains just that. A gay project, not a good one.

And that is not a bad thing. Just that, the show wants us to take it seriously all through its campiness. And at the same time, it tries too hard to be lighthearted for a story about witches and morally grey characters. Now, would it be wrong for it to face backlash? Recently, any backlash on these “DEI-centric” projects has been considered targeted attacks by the majority.

Agatha might have been better off being a one-off villain. Years passed since WandaVision ended; the hype about this “witchcraft” side of MCU was pretty much forgotten. To say that it is just the anti-woke crowd would be wrong. Disney has lost touch with its actual demographic, which it must regain if it aims to push forward by telling new stories rather than pooling in fanservice and nostalgia. Agatha all along remains a weak project, which can be watched just to stick with the continuity to which it contributes absolutely nothing.
