Nothing deserves a 0/10 IMHO

 

Correction: Nothing except for Paul Blart Mall Cop deserves a 0/10

While yes, the finale was weaker than ep 8 (almost every show ever) the Witches Road story was SO WELL DONE. Just excellent stuff.

What is interestin to me is that 

Spoiler

The whole Ghost angle gives the MCU a way for some dead charecters to reappear without undoing their deaths.

Re; Musicals.

This total hatred for Musicals by some geeks is ,imho, stupid and ignorant.

And then it dropped for Episode 9... did people switch off the tv thinking the show ended? 😛

Speaking personally (and I’m assuming that was aimed at me since I’m the only one who mentioned disliking musicals recently in this thread), they’re just not for me. As soon as people start singing and breaking into elaborate dance numbers it just makes me cringe and drags me completely out of the story. Fair enough if you like them, I’m not saying they shouldn’t make them, but saying it’s “ignorant” not to like a piece of art is pretty stupid in itself.

@Eric Harris You've been surprisingly silent on this and Joe Locke's character considering you've been hoping for a gay superhero since a long time.

 

Apologies in advance if I'm thinking of someone else

I don't watch these Marvel shows anymore, and I really didn't like WandaVision, so this means nothing to me. Sorry!

IMO this is superior to Wandavision. The smaller budget allowed them to be bolder and take more risks.

 

If you want LGBTQ+ rep in superhero fare, then this is undoubtedly unparalleled, even if that's a low bar.

Supergirl had a trans superhero! Doom Patrol was gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. Agatha was like dipping a toe into the LGBTQ+ waters.

Almost the entirety of Agatha's cast is queer though, including the four characters with the most screentime. That's definitely more than Supergirl rep (though the show was great for trans rep)

 

I honestly don't know much about Doom Patrol rep beyond Matt Bomer's robot man being gay. I know there were flashbacks and stuff back to when he was human but eh, still don't think it beats AAA (though do feel free to let me know if there were more main characters who were gay)

The ultimate sign of streaming success

Matt Bomer wasn’t the robot, he was Larry Trainor, the character who is wrapped in bandages and has an entire back story about his forbidden relationship with a man in the 40’s. There’s also a non binary “living street” that talks via street signs in Doom Patrol called Danny that is a refuge for LGBTQ+ people, not to mention a character called Flex Mentallo who causes people to orgasm when he flexes his muscles in a certain way. It’s much gayer than Agatha. It’s also brilliant.

 

Back to Agatha though, I finished it last week and really enjoyed it. Thought it was a couple of episodes too long as there were a few episodes in the middle where it seemed to be treading water, but overall it’s a good follow up to WandaVision. I loved all of the stuff with Agatha thinking she was Kate Winslet’s character in Mare of Easttown 😂

That non-binary living street providing refuge to LGBTQ+ folks sounds like the mutant living island of Krakoa from the X-Men. Still lowkey holding out hope that's the era they adapt for the MCU.

 

I don't know how my brain forgot all about Dead Boy Detectives, the spin-off of Doom Patrol that came out earlier this year which I did watch and was high on queer inclusion too. TBF to me though, Netflix did an ass job of promoting it.
