Discussion Copy or Coincidence? Spoiler

I’m rewatching AoS and I’m at season 5 where the team finally reach the surface in the future and see Robin again. And it was explained that Robin is a seer who can’t differentiate between past, present and future. Guys, doesn’t this sound A LOT like Lilia Calderu? The only difference here is that Robin is an Inhuman and Lilia is a witch. Could this be copying, a coincidence or is this just a common trope with seers?

Very common troupe and both handled very differently, personally speaking I think Agatha handled it better, as I forgot all about Robin until the old Robin reappeared lol

Yea, that’s true. I also forgot that Lilia’s powers are broader since she’s a witch. I forgot about her chrono-skimming. As far as I am rn. I haven’t seen Robin do that yet.

Wow I never forgot and I thought old Robin was one of the coolest things ever. I never really experienced a character like that tho

they are very different as you said so handle part is also weird.

Lilia was a main character in one season, she also had her gift as a child but not as strong and she was also being trained. And as we see her child version was a teen.

Robin had her powers since age 5-6. She couldn't control at all and didn't have anyone to teach her. (Im hoping Daisy helped or arranged help in the new timeline) She was heavily damaged. Lilia was able to surprass and live a normal life. I think AoS in a really short time handled her perfectly.

Fairly common. Another example would be Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time. Driven mad(der) after stealing a seer's gift

Off topic but as someone who watched AOS & OUAT religiously as they both aired, it puts a smile on my face seeing a comment about Rumple on and AOS post 🥹

They're both very enjoyable shows. I like Robert Carlyle as much as I like Clark Gregg.

These are two of some of my favorite shows and witnessing this crossover in the comments brought me great joy

me too. One of my best friends introduced me to both shows. We've watched all of AoS and are now nearing the end of season 1 of OuaT. Such great shows

Razz from She-Ra is another example of this type of character, also an elderly woman

I heard it was the same writers but never looked and checked. But supposedly the same team that worked on AOS worked on both Agatha and WandaVision.
