I mean, ok? I love Kathyrn Hahn, but not sure how you hang a show off her character. I presume they'll take the standard approach now with villains as lead - and have a Big Bad somehow even more evil than the titular character.

I really dislike this new approach of making villains good guys, absolving them of wrong doing. The most grievous case being Jason Statham's heel about turn in the Fast franchise. I'm sceptical about this, we literally saw her drain the life from a whole coven of witches. The only thing I can see working is if they do an Agatha All Along series where we basically see her being behind various events throughout history but even then how do you not make her the protagonist.

When you look at her actions, has she really been a true villain? I think she is much more of a grey character, all we've seen her do that was villainous was absorb powers that killed a coven that was about to kill her and then try to take the powers of a witch who was holding an entire town hostage.

I think her continuing to do what is best for her in any show would be well within what we've seen from the character so far (somewhat Loki like).

House of M can't happen until the muties show up

Whatever this is or could be is anyone's guess definitely seems like another left swing the guessing and craziness of Wandavision and who we thought was coming who we thought different characters were too I just think sit back and enjoy the ride.

So, yeah....

Multiverse......

I don’t think we're getting a Season 2.

With a wink and a nod, how engrained is this show with Dr Strange 2? I get the impression if one hadn't watched this, you'd be fairly lost in the film.

Yeah, Wanda's story in this film directly follows on from Wandavision. If you went in blind without seeing Wandavision or at least some kind of recap video it'd be a pretty big gulf to get over.

Is it time to re-litigate the ending to this.

Spoilers for Dr Strange MoM below.

As someone who thought this ended on a somewhat optimistic note while accepting that Wanda had still done some horrible things, I was surprised that she was in full villain mode in MoM to the point that it didn't sit well with me. I'm going to have to rewatch this finale because I didn't see that turn coming to the extent that it did.

WandaVision ends in that isolated house with Wanda tapping into the Multiverse and as we learn in the film to do over she is the only Wanda to not have the boys for real.

As Strange says in MoM Wanda “has hold of The Darkhold and it has hold of her”.

It corrupts those who possess it and add to that Wanda’s desire to be with her children - she let them go in Westview but as their mother she couldn’t truly let them go.

Her descent into harkens during. the time in between in just something the audience has to accept. How do they show it ? Until her attack on the sorcerers she hasn’t actually done anything except A lot of hours of her meditating with The Darkhold open in front of her being creepy, And her telepathically hiring demons to hunt America Chavez

Agree with a lot of that. I am happy with how they approached it.

We didn't need to see a complete descent into further darkness - I am sure they probably had something shot for it but it didn't make the final cut. We saw how even before getting her hands on the Darkhold her idea of right and wrong was far off due to her grief. They beat us over the head in the movie that the Darkhold makes people worse and we see the 'real' Wanda come back out at the end of the movie when she says she isn't a monster and wouldn't hurt anyone.
