I Have An Agatha All Along Theory That Completely Changes The Marvel Show"s Story

I have a theory about Agatha All Along that changes the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, and it seems too likely to ignore. The series has already begun with several mysteries, including why Rio Vidal is unable to kill Agatha. However, I believe there is even more happening beneath the surface. I don"t know if I trust Agatha following the events of WandaVision and, despite Kathryn Hahn"s charisma in the series, I have some concerns about her plans that leave me fearful about the future of the character and her coven.
Agatha was a compelling character in WandaVision, which saw the old witch from Marvel Comics reimagined as something a little more unexpected. Outfitted with Agatha"s purple magic, the villain saw an exciting journey over the course of the prior series that led to her trying to steal Wanda"s magic while levitating above the town of Westview. This bombastic series ending was compelling enough, but seems to have already been forgotten in Agatha All Along, where the character is being presented as the protagonist. However, I don"t buy Agatha as a hero, and I don"t trust her in the show.
Why I Believe Agatha Was Lying About Having Walked The Witches' Road Agatha Harkness Does Not Deserve To Be Trusted Close Agatha claims that she has walked the Witches" Road before in the premiere episodes of Agatha All Along, but I don"t believe it. Kathryn Hahn is a compelling performer, and there is much to be gleaned from her reactions. As the coven enters the Road, Agatha seems to be surprised by just about everything that she sees. The door closing behind her and sealing off the Salem Seven from following her coven seems to confuse Agatha, and every facet of the Witches" Road"s entrance seems to be something new and strange to her. I don"t believe she"s ever seen this road before.
When the coven attempts to summon the door, it doesn"t appear immediately. As if to save face, Agatha becomes extremely defensive, blaming everyone else when it doesn"t seem to work, and trying to steal their powers by getting them to blast her. Before this, she sends Teen, the only one who seems to know more about the Witches" Road than her, out of the room. All of this seems to be an attempt to mask the fact that she has not done this before and does not know what will happen. She is attempting to do away with anyone who would know better so that her words can be taken at face value.

Related When Agatha All Along Takes Place In The MCU Timeline Agatha All Along naturally takes place after WandaVision as its sequel, but the first episode has confirmed where exactly the series falls in the MCU.
1 Most important, however, is the question of what exactly Agatha would have needed the Witches" Road for in the past. If she had previously traveled the road, that would mean that there was something in her life that she was missing and desperately needed. The Witches" Road does not seem to be a journey that is taken lightly, especially when it seems that the Salem Seven have come after Agatha and her coven in the series. If Agatha had been on the Witches" Road before, it seems strange that she would not have outlined her prior reason for the trip.
Evidence From Episodes 1 & 2 That Agatha Has Actually Been To The Witches' Road There Are Also Some Points That Suggest The MCU Villain Is Telling The Truth Close Granted, some moments suggest that Agatha does know what she is doing on the Witches" Road at the end of Agatha All Along episode 2. When she takes off her shoes, this seems to suggest some knowledge of the road that she is set to walk upon. Still, going barefoot to connect with the Earth has been a common theme of pagan traditions throughout the years, and there is nothing to show that this was actually required to travel the Road. This could simply be Agatha trying to manipulate the rest of her coven into looking to her as their leader.
By insisting the importance of removing their shoes, Agatha has made it seem to her group that she knows what she is talking about. This could be a trick that would allow her to take power over the situation by seeming like she knows what she"s doing. There is nothing about this action that actually seems to be important to their being there, but by insisting that this is the case, Agatha makes herself seem more knowledgeable than the rest of the group, and thereby more empowered.
How My Theory Completely Changes Agatha All Along's Story Full Details Of Agatha's Plans Have Yet To Be Revealed Close Agatha is a manipulative witch, and this detail, if true, would change her story significantly. From Teen"s entrance to the series, it seemed that he wished for her to take him on the Road, and his convincing her led to her convincing others. However, much of this convincing was possible only because everyone believed that Agatha had been on the Road before and had survived it. If this is not the case, then their whole journey is built on a lie.
Clearly, traveling along the Witches" Road is an important journey for Agatha in the series. She has been robbed of her powers, and it is certainly important for her to be able to get them back. With the Witches" Road being a dangerous and frightening journey, it seems that she needed a coven of witches to accompany her in order to survive. Perhaps this is what Agatha has been waiting for all this time, and she simply lied in order to make it happen.
Agatha All Along episodes 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Disney+; episode 3 will be released Wednesday, September 25 at 9pm ET/6pm PT.
Where Agatha"s story is going is unclear exactly, but one cannot forget what the witch has done in the past. During the flashback sequence of WandaVision, Agatha stole the powers of many of her own contemporaries. It would be foolish to think that she would not be willing to do that again, or sacrifice her new coven to ensure she gets to the end of the Road. The lives that surround Agatha are not as important as she is to herself, and it will be compelling to see where that story leads her.
Surely, drama will follow when the other characters realize that Agatha is lying about having been on the Witches" Road, and this could make for some good conflict in the series. Agatha is not to be trusted, and she has clearly shown a willingness to use and exploit people. Power is important to her, whatever the cost, and what she plans to do with her coven remains to be seen. Still, I am waiting for Agatha All Along to remind us all of how little trust Agatha Harkness deserves.
