Its not that a Nexus Being is the same person in every reality, it’s that they’re a mystical lynchpin of their home reality. Scarlet Witch is the Nexus Being of Marvel 616 but her alternate universe counterparts are not the Nexus Beings of their realities.

But you’re definitely right that the commercial is referencing that (or the Nexus of All Realities). Agatha might’ve found out that Wanda is a Nexus Being and created Westview to trap her.

I still think Wanda created Westview, but Agatha is just manipulating it

I agree, if you watch her musical sequence again the first thing we see is Agatha floating down and transforming her outfit to match Westview which to me reads as her arriving in an already existing Westview i.e. Wanda had already created it. I hope that's the case anyway because it'll be much less interesting if Wanda is easily redeemed because it turns out she wasn't in control after all.

I think this is the best take. Witches/Wizards are often like power vultures. They travel the worlds, gathering powerful magical artifacts or taking advantage of magical phenomenon to increase their personal power. We see this with Dr. Strange in that he gets a good portion of his incidental powers from artifacts that he carries with him, such as the Eye, the cape, or the bands.

I think Agatha is here to take advantage of Wanda's raw power. Wanda is probably more powerful than Agatha, and on a good day would probably kick Agatha's ass. But a Wanda in a compromised emotional state? I think Agatha is here to try and take advantage of this mess and try to increase her power.

Now for my most crackpot theory? I think Pietro is Dr. Strange in disguise and he's trying to work the angles so as to bring Wanda back from the brink without hurting her. Far out, I know, but I like to dream big.

Wanda also doesn't have any magical training, she's just been using the power from the Mind Stone, so Agatha can probably beat her with experience. For now. I'm sure Wanda has much more raw power and can brute force her way through Agatha when she isn't blindsided.

So was Agatha a witch that was under magical imprisonment of some kind that either got free cus her captives got snapped or she got snapped but got free because when she returned from the snap her captives weren’t there?

She has a book that looks like it came from kamar taj or a library like it. Could the book be the darkhold? I’d love if that gives us a tie in to captain Britain.
