AGATHA ALL ALONG: SOON TO BE FORGOTTEN TELEVISION?

It looks like it will be tomorrow at the earliest that I make my full blog post about the latest attempt on the life of de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. So here’s a much lighter topic.

(For Agatha and the Scarlet Witch fighting Necrodamus click HERE.)

Then came the multiple title changes for the upcoming series as Disney went from Diary of Darkness, Coven of Chaos, House of Harkness and Darkhold Diaries before finally settling on the obvious choice. House of Harkness as a title made me hope that it would be an anthology series with Hahn acting in-character as Agatha camping it up like an old-time Movie Hostess. (Think Vampira, Moona Lisa, Elvira, Stella from Saturday Night Dead, etc.)

You know, testing the waters to see if each character proved popular enough for their own series or movie. When the Werewolf by Night project was announced it got my hopes up even more that it might indeed feature Kathryn Hahn as Agatha doing an intro and outro.

Unfortunately, Disney is making Agatha All Along a traditional sequel to WandaVision. AND THEY’VE ALREADY BLOWN WHAT WAS INTENDED AS THE SHOW’S BIG REVEAL! Don’t read any further if you want to watch the series and are among the few people who didn’t catch the way Disney’s promo staff gave away the program’s big surprise before they could try covering it back up.

***NEWS – SEPT 19th- Not only did they already blow the big surprise on IMDb, but it was blown last night by crediting the character I mention below BY NAME IN THE CLOSED CAPTIONS! And that’s WHILE they’re making a big deal of a magic spell not letting Agatha hear clues to who he is. Hilarious! Continue reading

Avengers 128 bewitched, botheredAVENGERS Volume 1, Number 128 (October 1974)  Bewitched, Bothered … and Dead

I’m sure Marvel Comics gave special thanks to Quinn Martin for providing the title to this particular story. Yes, it’s a play on the usual “bewitched, bothered and bewildered.”  

ANYWAY, WE ARE IN THE HOME STRETCH OF THE CELESTIAL MADONNA SAGA! MISS A CHAPTER FROM NOW TO THE END AND YOU’LL BE CONFUSED.
