Agatha All Along Arrives
The much-awaited Agatha All Along has landed! Through its first trailer, Kathryn Hahn's Agatha All Along invites us all on a bizarre voyage through the most unusual corners of the Marvel Comics universe. If the trailer is a fair indication, this series has the potential to be Marvel's long-due apology letter to its fans.
Setting the Scene
Drawing from the familiar aesthetic of network TV crime thrillers, the series starts and ends similar to WandaVision — shrouded in mystique and eccentricity. However, where Wanda isolated herself amidst nostalgic sitcoms, Agatha immerses herself in a foreboding milieu tinged with the specter of death.
The Twilight of Agatha
Agatha All Along, reminiscent of True Detective minus tedious monologues, unfolds in the town of Forks, known as the stomping grounds for the Twilight vampires. The sight of an unnerving crime is set to haunt our purple witch as she dives into this somber forest setting. Gloom and desolation will guide the heartbeat of the crime narrative.
Kathryn Hahn takes on the role of Agatha Harkness once again. While the risk of the series nose-diving into the cliches of a typical crime drama looms, the entry of Aubrey Plaza quickly dispels that fear. Instead, the show plunges headlong into pure chaos – populated by witches, hexes, seances, and a rabid abundance of paranormal mayhem.
Agatha All Along in the MCU
For the first time in forever, Marvel has thrown its fans quite a curveball with Agatha All Along. A trailer promising a fresh take on good television and redemption for Phase Four reignites the celebration among the Marvel universe fandom.
Social media reactions have been enthusiastic and full of anticipation
User @DiscussingFilm tweeted, “The first trailer for ‘AGATHA ALL ALONG' has been released. Releasing on September 18 on Disney+”
In response, @WarlingHD commented, “Ngl, this surprised me, it looks so good ?. Hope it delivers?” while user @dinmurdock marvelled, “WHY DOES IT LOOK SO FUN OMG”.
Fan @english_sharmar added, “Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza. Yeah, this is going to be really good”, and @richyrich323 concluded with “Here for it! Time for a reset.”
A New Marvel Success?
With Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, and Patti LuPone joining the team, Agatha All Along promises a wild ride. Coming after WandaVision saw Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch trapping Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness in Westview, this new series breaks free from that design and promises something fresh – a potential MCU smash hit.
“I miss the glory days,” Agatha laments, perfectly summing up the anticipation for this new wave in the Marvel Universe. Agatha All Along premieres on Disney+ on September 18, 2024.
