Who's ready for turkey season? The Wkly Hit List certainly is and we're looking forward to what happens during Thanksgiving which leads right into Christmas and the New Year. We all had high hopes that next year will be a fresh and secured start with no worries about dictators in this country, but reality has had other ideas, leaving people completely unsure on what's to come. I know that sounds cryptic, but I'm just trying to let everyone, especially KlicKNettars, know that they're not alone in these dark times. Luckily, I know something that can lighten the mood, and that's the return of the 5-Day Rounder which has seen news avoiding what's going on in politics; take a look.
Our Inside Scoop this week is the conclusion of our recap and review of the Disney Plus miniseries Marvel Television's Agatha All Along. The series ended in a two-part finale on October 30 and like I said last week: The whole thing was as sensational as anything you could have watch on television that doesn't have any politics in it. It's kinda that we won't be doing this again until the next great Marvel series comes on Disney Plus, but I'll try my best to keep my chin and talk about the final episode of Agatha All Along. WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Agatha All Along's Ninth and Final Episode yet, you better stop reading right now. But if you would like to continue at your risk, then be my guest.
I have a feeling that this is going to be short review because most of the final episode begins in 1750. From here, a young Agatha is running around in a purple cape about to give birth. When she starts to go into labor, Rio aka Death arrives in her green cape, waiting, making Agatha to plead with Rio to let her unborn son live, but Rio says she can only offer time before she disappears. At last Agatha finally gives birth to Nicholas and tells him that he was made "from scratch," whatever that is supposed to mean. Agatha spends the next six years raising her son while killing witches, which Nicholas grows more oppose to every time is happens. It a pretty sad scene to watch, he steals things from witches and runs away, luring the witches into Agatha’s house so she can get their power. Soon after that, Nicholas sings an early version of “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road,” and Agatha joins in; the song however begins to take on a life of its own. Later, Agatha tells Nick that while she can do many things with her power, she can’t heal him or protect him from what’s coming. Eventually, the inevitable comes, with Nick waking up one night very sick and seeing Rio waving at him with a torch, he goes with her to the afterlife. Agatha is horrified when she wakes to find her son dead, but with nothing holding her back, Agatha spends the next centuries murdering witches and stealing their powers in a sequence that is just incredible. She does all this by conning them with the promise of the Road, which does not exist at all, more on that later.
We cut to Episode 2, with Agatha looking straight at the camera after realizing who actually created the Witches' Road in her basement, then we cut to Episode 9 where a gray-haired Agatha shows up as a ghost in Billy’s room. She tells Billy that he made the previously nonexistent Witches' Road a reality with his magic, similar to everything Wanda did in WandaVision three years ago. Billy freaks out, feeling guilty for killing Alice, Lilia, and Sharon, but Agatha retorts that she was already planning to kill all of them anyway and that Jen is still alive. Fun fact, we see Jen escaping the Witches' Road and pulling herself outta the ground in front of the "Welcome to Westview," she extremely happy to have her powers back and she flies away. Back to Billy and Agatha, she tells him if he wants to be a witch, he has to get used to the feeling of killing, he’s adamant he never will. Billy heads down to Agatha's basement — to the Witches Road' portal — and Agatha's ghost is there waiting for him, he is trying real hard to banish her away, but she resists. Then, she finally admits she can't move on because she can’t face Nicholas in afterlife, using enough strength of will, Agatha is able to pick up the brooch she lost and put it on. Billy is resentful with having her around but he still allows her to guide him on his next quest. After sealing the entrance to the Road and recording the names of Alice, Lilia, and Sharon, we come to the final scene of the series where one door closes, and another had opened. A lit staircase appears as Billy and Agatha set out to find Tommy. Fade to Black. Roll Credits. The End.
It's excellent to see where this leaves us in the ever growing Marvel Cinematic Universe, this will likely takes us into the upcoming Vision series starring Paul Bettany, and that will likely introduce us to Teenage Tommy. Vision Quest is also rumored to introduce or lead into the Young Avengers, a project I've been waiting to see for a long time. There could be a chance that we might Jennifer again as it's been said in the comics that she's the cousin of the Ghost Rider, and you know that there's a Scarlet Witch project in the works by Marvel Studios; who knows how Wanda would think of Billy and Agatha and what they've become now. All and All, this was a fantastic series to watch, it gave us back the vibes that we've been missing from WandaVision, all while successfully doing two things at once in its seven-week run: Telling its own story and building the road to the next one.
