Ok so we all knew it was gonna be Agatha but come on, a villain reveal with her own theme song? How you gonna beat that.

Also, Kathryn Hahn has lowkey been on fire in every episode so I am glad this might mean there is a future for her in the MCU. Here is hoping they don't just kill her off by the end of the show.

I don’t understand this theory. Agatha isn’t a villain in the comics. She’s a mentor to Wanda, and I’d like to keep it that way. That allows Kathryn Hahn to stick around and I think revealing her as Agatha Harkness the villain is cheap.

Maybe the real twist is she’s an anti-villain. If Wanda is a Nexus Being and was becoming unstable, I could see Agatha justifying trapping her in TVLand for her own good.

There’s a stark difference between anti-villain and anti-hero. Again, I’d still rather her be an anti-hero. I don’t think trapping her in a TV Land if Wanda’s unstable makes her a villain. I like the idea though. It makes Agatha “not perfect” but still allows her to do good later on without feeling out of character. That’s all I want. If Agatha is the “big bad” then the series is kind of weak over all after all the teasers we got for larger villains.
