    Why Agatha All Along Didn’t Need a Post-Credits Scene

    Sakege Posted on

    Agatha All Along just broke with Marvel tradition by ending without a post-credits scene, but that’s a good thing in this case.

    Ever since Nick Fury approached Tony Stark at the end of Iron Man’s credits to talk about the “Avengers Initiative,” the post-credits scenes have become an integral part of the series. Wonder Cinematic universe.

    They’ve been used to introduce new heroes and villains, kill off jokes made earlier in the process, and have fans leaving theaters excited for what’s to come.

    Post-credits action has also become part of Marvel’s current television concerns, most notably the Ms. Marvel finale, which teased the wonders movie in a wonderful way.

    But the first one out was WandaVision, a show that ended with a post-credits scene in which Scarlet Witch hears her twins calling for help. Which brings us to the spin-off. Agatha all the timea show that we are going to detail below, so SPOILERS forward…

    Agatha All Along tells a self-contained story

    A 10-part musical fantasy comedy-drama, the show sent villain Agatha Harkness on an adventure down the Witch’s Lane, while also outlining her backstory to suggest why she does such evil things.

    There were revelations along the way, about Rio being Lady DeathThe Witches’ Road is a mental construct and the song at the heart of the show means nothing and is instead part of a long con.

    But the biggest surprise was that William Kaplan was actually Billy Maximoff, Wanda’s son, and the boy they call Wiccan.

    Which connected Agatha All Along to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fortunately, however, that was not the case then. rely about those connections, with Ralph Bohner (Evan Peters) the only notable cameo.

    Instead, the show told a standalone story about a coven going on a quest, the complicated feelings Agatha has for Billy, some witch killingand Billy’s desperate desire to find his brother Tommy.

    Which was a refreshing change from those shows and movies that often look to the future instead of focusing on the present.

    Why “let’s go find Tommy” is enough

    Nowhere was this more obvious than at the end of Episode 10, where there was no post-credits scene. Because Agatha All Along told all the story it wanted to tell before the cast and crew names appeared.

    In the final scene, Ghost Agatha appears to Billy and they argue before Billy attempts to banish her “to the light or Rio’s toxic embrace or wherever you deserve to spend eternity.”

    When that fails because Agatha can’t face her son, she comes up with an alternative and tells Billy, “You and I could make a good team.” And so, when one magical door closes, another opens, revealing a staircase leading to a bright white light.

    Agatha says, “Let’s go find Tommy,” the perfect final words, and they walk toward that light, an unequal duo embarking on a new quest. One that doesn’t need anything post-credits to set the stage or provoke a potential Agatha season 2since that work has already been done.
