    Hahn is such a wonderful comedy actor, think I first encountered her in Parks and Rec. Hope this opens up more roles for her, she has wonderful range.
    Totally agree, loved that character.
    PONCHO!

    If you haven't seen Mrs Fletcher before it is well worth a watch she is front and centre in it, still classified as comedy seemingly but a world away, she is brilliant in it.

    7: Oh I wasn't expecting
    that line about killin Sparky! That turned it from a fun jingle to a WHAT!!?!?

    Thought the credits scene was good!

    To be honest I'm not really feeling this so far, it has its good moments but overall I could take it or leave it. Seeing as it's seven episodes in, I'll watch the rest of the season. Not a big fan of the sitcom style but I like all the little easter eggs or nods to other stuff. Kind of feels like this could have been a film and it would have done the same job

    Was this the first ep with a mid credit scene?

    I think there being an mid/end credit scene in this episode signifies that Wanda's sitcom vision is over. We're now back in the MCU and the MCU has these scenes.

    Elizabeth Olsen is very pretty.

    If its done the same job of a film then that's mission accomplished.

    That's a given. What is more evident is that Elizabeth Olsen is an amazing actress.the tone changes had made her a real stand out for me

    First encountered her in Martha Marcy Mae Marlene and I would say she's one of the best actors out there. One concern about her being stuck in Marvel verse and not facing the challenges she would elsewhere. But must say she's shining in this. Do hope she goes back to normal cinema at some point in near future.

    She’s so so good in Parks and Rec. In a show filled with strong performances she really stands out as exceptional. An absolute delight in every scenes she’s in.

    And it’s the same in Wandavision. She’s knocking it out of the park every week

    I do not remember Hahn in Parks and Rec at all, was she in to for long?

    I think the first thing I saw her in was Step Brothers, fantastic comedic performance. I feel she's played a lot of those comic side characters or best friends. She's kind of the successor to Joan Cusack, another brilliant and underrated actress.

    She was a recurring character. She was a campaign manager who would help Leslie's opponent usually.

    She was brilliant in it.

    While she was just a recurring character she had what was probably the single best one word line of the whole series. As already quoted upthread; PONCHO.

    Love Hahn. She's got great comic timing

    I guess you had to be there :)

    I’m loving this show. Everything about it I’m loving. I’m delighted it’s a tv show and not a movie as trying to stuff this into a 2 hour movie would be horrific.
    The tv show format inside the show is also such a fun idea and something I haven’t seen before.

    The Agatha jingle was genius. It replaced the standard speech a villain normally gives to the hero when they reveal themselves.

    I’m genuinely wishing away the days to get to the next episode. FATWS has a lot to live up to after Wandavision.

    Can other comicbook readers answer a question on Agatha. I'll spoiler it to be on the safe side.
    Do you consider her a villain? I have never taken Agatha to be a straight up villain. She's got her own agenda sure, but she's a hero/ally more often than an antagonist. She was Franklin Richard's nanny for many years and protected him and other FF members at times. Her relationship with Wanda is complex but she is often someone who helps her out.

    I had to Google her and that's the impression I got too.

    This is all supposition based on the show... One thing that I don't think is clear is how much Agnes is actually doing. Her song for example indicates that much of her role has been breaking the TV show so things begin to break and Vision started to break free. So I have a suspicion that most of the reality is still manufactured by Wanda. I'm not sure if Agnes is doing something truly nefarious.

    My sentiments exactly, I agree with every single thing you’ve said here. It really is a delightful show, and the evolving sitcom within the show is just so original and fun. I love Elizabeth Olsen’s performance in the role of the American housewife and mother just trying to do her best in this strange situation that she’s found herself in. Really do look forward to Friday’s more than ever, and I’ll be sad when it comes to an end.

    But the song says she was behind it all? She introduced Pietro at a pivotal moment when Vision was getting close to the truth but at the same time I see where you would get that impression because it also showed her deliberately messing with Vision which led to him trying to leave. I am very confused and it did occur to me that she seemed to arrive when the "sitcom" was already in full swing as we saw her fly in and change her outfit.

    Something I noticed about her character when I was doing my own research and I'm going to spoiler because it hasn't been mentioned in the show yet
    is that in the comics she has a son, Nicholas Scratch, who is more of a villain and I remembered that she called the rabbit Scratchy, probably no more than a knowing wink but still.

    I sort of think TV show being a product of Wanda's mind has to turn out to be true rather than her being controlled or something. Cause it heavily damages the concept of what the trauma did to her. The created world is such a powerful concept and I think losing it would strip away the strength of the show.

    Looking like we're waiting for the big Mephisto reveal... it's most likely someone from outside the town.....plus with Agatha Harkness on board..is Herb going to turn out to be ebony?

    I’m not going to Spoiler this as it’s assumed everyone reading is up to date with the latest episode....

    Agatha hasn’t actually killed anyone or done anything particularly unforgivable yet except killing Sparky. Whether it’s Wanda or Agatha or a mixture of both controlling this town of people they haven’t crossed the line yet. Yet.

    Not seen the John Wicks movies then ;)

    Marvel misdirection has always been at play I can see one or more other characters Hayward and maybe some of the townsfolk being true villains there is a big ploy in the adverts seen in each episode with those brands changing but the ones mentioned have relationship to Wanda either her past present or future.

    Puppy murder isn't crossing the line?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    I still think there has to be something in the recaps being slightly off. There was another one in this when Vision told Agnes (as he knew her) that he was going outside to apprise the situation and get help.

    Kidnapping a whole town, terrorising them... people on the outskirts trapped in monotonous boomerangs whilst crying...some things are perhaps worse than death

    It could be the case that Agatha here is
    kind of a combination of the Agatha character from the comics, but with her comic son's more villainous side.
