Agatha All Along
Warning : This article contains SPOILERS for Agatha All Along ’s finale
It used to be the case that you could determine your watch byMCU post - credits scenes , but times have shift . Starting way back withIron Manin 2008 , stingers became instantly and overwhelmingly synonymous withMarvel ’s tentpole franchise , and it was n’t untilAvengers : Endgameover a ten later that the tendency was broken . Now , MCU post - credits scene are no longer a warranty , even when they might seem to be inevitable .
Marvel ’s Phase 5TV show have actually almost all avoided a post - credits tantrum , which has been specially gratifying for the mature crowd of voice who do n’t think they ’re entirely necessary . The MCU has worked itself into a situation where too many stinger set up vague future projects that are n’t being paid off , and - lease ’s face it - we ’re all too raring for a repeat ofEternals ' post - credits anticipate Blade ’s comer when his real flick wallow in developing netherworld .
Echo is the only MCU Phase 5 show with a post - credits scene .
Despite that cynicism , you could have been forgive for believe thatAgatha All Alongwould include a post - credits fit , specially with the loom shadow of Scarlet Witch hanging about the blank space . It was a project that always felt intend to hint at her survival of the fittest afterDoctor Strange in theMultiverse of Madness ' ending , after all , but in a somewhat shocking turn of events : Agatha All Alonghas no post - credits scene at all . And even more shockingly , it was the right thing to do .
Agatha All Along Didn’t Need A Post-Credits Scene
The WandaVision Spin-Off Does Something Far More Satisfying
If there’sone affair to take fromAgatha All Along , it ’s how well showrunner Jac Schaeffer crafted her artful deception . 3 age after the MCU Internet Fanbase lost its corporate point over Mephisto hints that just were n’t there , Schaeffer weaponized the potential drop for Scarlet Witch ’s payoff in a fashion that consciously play into that same , painfully inevitable bubble of expectation .
There is , no doubt , a multiversal plane whereAgatha All Along ’s post - credits scene jumped back to the ruins of Mount Wundagore , and read rubble levitating at the spot where Elizabeth Olsen ’s Wanda Maximoff made her ritual killing , but that ’s not this universe , and we should be grateful . To do that would have been cheap and unneeded , and instead we all get to continue the bright hallucination thatScarlet Witch will return to the MCUsomewhere in the future without it overshadowingAgatha All Along ’s excellent close .
What Agatha All Along Offers Instead Of A Post-Credits Scene (& Why It’s Better)
We Didn’t Need Wanda, But That Doesn’t Mean All Hope Is Lost For Scarlet Witch
In place of any post - credits scene , Agatha All Along ’s end instead set up what come next with the specter of Hahn ’s delicious antihero offer to become the " feeling guide " alluded to in the phony Ballad of the Witches Road to Joe Locke ’s Billy Maximoff . Rather than leaping to a big tease to the - so far non - existent -Scarlet Witch solo pic , we got a tantalizing hook for whatever hail in spot ofAgatha All Alongseason 2 . If I were a play military man , I ’d suggest that would bea new version of Marvel’sAvengers : The Children ’s Crusade .
In that story , position in the wake ofHouse of Mand Scarlet Witch ’s spiral out of ascendency that take to the death of several Avengers , Wiccan and the Young Avengers countersink out to come up Wanda after her age - long absence from Marvel Comics . It ’s a typically complex plot line that deals with the aftermath of Wanda ’s infamous " no more mutants " spell , and unite far more Marvel characters - including the X - man - who would n’t yet work in the MCU .
ButAgatha All Along ’s ending offers some hint that Billy will now be on his own " youngster ’s crusade " to find not Wanda but Tommy , in a story that would surely have to deal with the Maximoff kids ' journeying to closure one agency or another . By avoiding a post - credits scene explicitly setting up Scarlet Witch , and terminate on the hope of finding Tommy , Agatha All Alongserves its last characters utterly . The next chapter is set up , and there could utterly be a itinerary back to Wanda , but we should all look up to the fearlessness of not giving it up so well .
