This entire magical world of ‘Agatha All Along’ spawned from Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch’s ‘WandaVision’, where the telekinetic and reality-warping Wanda and her enhanced android husband settled in the white-picket-fenced apparent idyll of Westview, trying to live an ordinary suburban life without giving their secrets away to their nosy neighbour, Agnes, who wasn’t what she appeared to be. Agnes aka Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn, downplayed her witch aura for a majority portion in the series before unleashing her magic in the climax in the most enchanting manner. The solid side character soon became a breakout star and landed an MCU series of her own, exploring the tricks and trials of The Witches’ Road, which grants what one most desires (In Agatha’s case: Power).
