Marvel Kills Four Agatha Theories, Including the Huge Scarlet Witch One We All Fell For.

Agatha All Along has totally disproved four main hypotheses on Teen’s goals and identity. Following the fallout from WandaVision, Agatha All Along is bursting with twists, evil Marvel magic, and secret identities. From viewers predicting everything from Mephisto’s arrival to a surprising Scarlet Witch reunion, theories about Agatha All Along have been whirling since the show’s start.

Agatha All Along episode 6, “Familiar by Thy Side,” dropped some bombshell intel that canceled out a majority of these theories, most notably one of the most commonly accepted about Scarlet Witch’s role.

Agatha All Along turned everything fans were expecting about the path of the show on its head in episode six. It was quite the revelation when it turned out that “Teen” was just a mystery man whose talents and past had all this while been kept under wraps.

The episode was rather conclusive about the character—now known as William—having died in an automobile accident at the same time WandaVision’s Westview spell unraveled. In a stunning twist of events, William’s body became the vehicle for Wanda’s son Billy Maximoff’s spirit.

No, Billy Not Looking For Scarlet Witch

One of the most prominent theories driving Agatha All Along was that Wanda Maximoff’s son, Billy Maximoff, was looking for his mother. Many believed that his secret identity and role in the story suggested a larger plot concerning Scarlet Witch, especially given Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness-after that, Wanda’s end was fairly ambiguous.
Audiences thought that Billy would be searching for her so that she could mend the broken family dynamic after WandaVision, finding a way to resurrect her mother and father because her powers were very much tied to her mother’s magic. But episode 6 destroyed this notion by showing Billy not much searching for his mother. Rather, he is looking for his brother Tommy Maximoff, who suffered Westview repercussions as well.

By emphasizing sibling love instead of a reunion with his mother, this turnabout changed the emotional center of Billy’s path.

The disclosure explained why Billy’s identity was kept under wraps for so long: Agatha or others were kept from knowing he was searching for Tommy, preventing their realization. This disproved the whole notion by demonstrating that sibling ties, not a parental reunion, drove the emotional intensity of the show.

Eddie is Billy’s boyfriend; not Hulkling

Another Agatha All Along idea that has been around centers on Billy’s romantic life, especially the arrival of his partner. Billy Maximoff, sometimes known as Wiccan, has a long connection with half-Kree, half-Skrull superhero Hulkling (Theodore Altman) in the comics. Particularly given his role as one of the Young Avengers, who the MCU has been gradually presenting, Hulkling’s arrival into the series has been much awaited.

Early Agatha All Along episodes seemed to line up with this idea, especially when Billy’s phone rang with a contact saved as “Boyf.” Many people thus concluded that his Agatha All Along boyfriend was definitely Hulkling. But episode 6 disproved this idea by disclosing that Billy’s boyfriend is Eddie rather than Theodore.

Eddie seems to have no relationship to the Skrull/Kree conflict or Hulkling or any superpowers like those of Hulkling. Having said that, Eddie might still be short for Theodore, or the show is laying a red herring to confuse viewers before a future disclosure.

Still, it appears most likely that Billy’s love interest is a completely new character, therefore negating the idea that Hulkling would show up in Agatha All Along.

Agatha All Along Debut Mephisto

One of the most eagerly awaited characters in the MCU, Mephisto could turn out to be the main villain in the series. Often planning terrible catastrophes all throughout the Marvel universe, Mephisto is Marvel’s answer to the Devil. Many believed Mephisto would ultimately make his MCU debut and that he was the actual mastermind behind Agatha All Along. The idea became popular as the show suggested sinister forces affecting the characters—especially Billy Maximoff.

A common assumption attributed Mephisto to be the person who had informed Billy of Agatha’s arrival in Westview and sent him to avenge. Contrary to the expectation, it was revealed that Ralph Bohner was the puppeteer in episode 6 of Agatha All Along, not Mephisto at all. It is Agatha who manipulates Ralph, a slacker of Westview, into acting as Wanda’s brother, Pietro, at the events of WandaVision.Ralph was not at all the sly, evil force fans were hoping for. Rather, he is a somewhat sad person still adjusting to his experience in Westview.

Ralph told Billy about the happenings in WandaVision, therefore starting his search for Agatha, instead of the plotting evil genius directing events in Agatha All Along. This revelation provided the farthest possible character from Mephisto for the key role, and it was thrilling and entirely out of left field. This also acted to stamp out any remaining hope that Mephisto would appear within the series, putting him firmly in place to have Evan Peters make a great cameo performance.

Pretty Much Every Theorized about the Sigil Went Pretty Correctly

Not long after the opening scenes of Agatha All Along, many have speculated on this mysterious symbol that hid Billy Maximoff’s secret. The insignia seemed to be a magical protection, which sparked intense discussion on who could have placed it and why. One of the most often accepted ideas was that Billy had constructed the symbol to hide his identity from Agatha Harkness. Others even thought that especially when Teen’s powers start to manifest in Agatha All Along episode 5, the sigil is supposed to ward off outer threats or perhaps hide it from even more potent magic.

Agatha All Along episode 6 proved that these guesses were wrong. Neither Billy nor any outside power kept him secret nor did he install the symbol. Rather, Lilia, one of Agatha’s make-shift coven witches, set the symbol. This was a shocking discovery made more difficult by the fact Billy’s spirit seized over William’s body prior to his death.

Although the episode did not completely explain why Lilia chose to conceal Billy’s identity, her specialization in divination would imply that she anticipated a need to keep him under wraps.

And what was she trying to hide from Agatha, and perhaps even from himself? It is amply clear that nearly every theory about the sigil’s origin or purpose was way off the mark, and what the episode delivers does little to clarify Lilia’s motives beyond Agatha All Along.

Conclusion:

Marvel’s recent debunking of four major Agatha Harkness theories, including the highly anticipated Scarlet Witch one, has left fans reeling. These revelations mark a shift in how the Marvel Cinematic Universe approaches fan theories, keeping viewers on their toes. As Agatha’s storyline continues to evolve, fans are now left to speculate where her character will go next, knowing Marvel always has surprises up its sleeve. The fallout from these debunked theories also hints at deeper, more complex developments in future MCU storylines.
