I suppose 'sucking' magic from other magic users is not really using magic:Īt first I thought, why wouldn't Agatha just 'suck' Wanda's magic while Wanda was prevented from using her magic because of the runes in Harkness's basement? I guess in order for witches to 'suck' magic from other witches, the latter need to be able to use their magic. Wanda must have cast a spell to 'suppress' Agatha's magic. So I guess Harkness still possess her magic (and obviously lives because once witches' 'suck' other witches' powers, they end up looking like mummies). One thing I will say is that Wanda didn't 'suck' Agatha's magic when Wanda took HER magic 'back' from Agatha. Writing wise there is really nothing that groundbreaking.)Įven if that is true, I would say 'innovation' is not worth pursuing when you are not even familiar with the most basic techniques. People may want to applaud MoM for 'innovating'(which is a weird claim because all it did is bringing back some retro camera works.

I recently finished Stormlight Archive and there is a whole arc about believing yourself to be some kind of divine champion and then got info-dumped into realizing 'oh, I am actually becoming the big bad's champion.' Good old basic ass subversion/rewarding narrative. Ahhhh, sure you are telling me a mass muderer is the dark anti-Messiah/anti-Christ? No shit, Sherlock.

This idea could have worked IF Wanda is sane and moral for the most part and then this whole goddamn castle thing is revealed to hint at her dark future and give her some existential horro and shit.īut nope, she is insane the whole time, so the impact of the Darkhold castle reveal is just mehhhhh. Wanda should be mortal candidate, the nature of her prophecy is more like 'nothing set in stone' while MoM literally has her goddamn statue, not even veild statues, literally statues with her face.) I am all for 'ironic fulfillment of the prophecy' type of story.īut again MoM kinda already ruined that with the totally not sutble Darkhold castle(seriously, who the fuck think of this shit. All I can say is that there was more sucking going on in Episode 9 of WandaVision than your regular porn flick. Wanda didn't 'suck' Agatha's magic when SHE put runes around Agatha so that makes sense.I think. I'm counting on it.Īt first I thought, why wouldn't Agatha just 'suck' Wanda's magic while Wanda was prevented from using her magic because of the runes in Harkness's basement? I guess in order for witches to 'suck' magic from other witches, the latter need to be able to use their magic. Wanda Maximoff : My powers work out here, or did you forget?Īgatha Harkness : No, dear. I suppose 'sucking' magic from other magic users is not really using magic: So I guess Harkness still possesses her magic (and obviously lives because once witches' 'suck' other witches' powers, they end up looking like mummies). But she didn't do it even though she was probably really mad at her. That means Wanda could have easily dropped Harkness from the sky. When Wanda 'sucked' her power 'back' from Agatha, Harkness couldn't use her magic because of the runes. I don't think Wanda felt like a murderer-in-waiting at the end of WandaVision though. Look, I kinda understand why the creators of the MoM might interpret Wanda becoming a destructive force later on, even if they HAD watched WandaVision. Wanda Maximoff : I'm not what you say I am. No one taught me magic!Īgatha Harkness : Your power exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme. Did you know there's an entire chapter devoted to you in the Darkhold? That's the book of the damned.Īnd I guess Wanda was inevitably gonna do bad shit?:

Wanda Maximoff : If I do, I know where to find you.Īnd I have to say that Agatha DID warn Wanda that the Darkhold was not a particularly benevolent piece of literature:Īgatha Harkness : Wanda, you've never been up against another witch before. It seems pretty obvious to me that Wanda and Agatha will probably meet again in Hahn's new series:Īgatha Harkness : You've no idea what you have unleashed.
