Agatha All Along

Unnecessarily long and complicated witchcraft. Either give the cast with interesting characters or shorten it because I regularly fell asleep during some episodes. The last two episodes, however, ran like clockwork. Not that I liked everything I was getting, but it had momentum and was interesting. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are both pretty good, but the rest of the cast failed to impress me. P.S: Thanos' beloved is finally on the scene, but I'm at a loss for words. The comic book lore is just so much more interesting. (03.11.2024)

Despite my initial aversion to the project (due to the unnecessary and uninteresting central character), I eventually got into the series quite quickly (also because Disney doesn't release that many new things) and surprisingly, I have much better feelings about Agatha All Along than I had hoped for. While a good portion of the episodes felt like they were going in circles and it was obvious that they were just filler material and the writers didn't really know how to make a full 9 episodes, I actually had a relatively good time with the rest and even hummed along to the central song, which surprisingly has its own style. It doesn't bring anything new to the MCU and casual viewers can warmly skip Agatha, but apparently due to the success of the series (which disappoints me twice over especially considering Star Wars: The Acolyte, which had greater potential), people at D+ at least watched that one episode. However, in the future, I hope that Marvel will focus on more interesting characters (like just next year on Daredevil!). (09.11.2024)
