She’s not “forgiven”. That’s silly. Monica is empathizing with her. Which is particularly powerful, since Monica herself has developed powers. And Monica delivered the boys and fought beside them. No wonder she feels their loss.

A few random thoughts:
* Oh, are we mad that the fifth male lead of the fourth-best movie in a franchise where 11 movies total didn’t make what Endgame/Infinity War/Black Panther made was underused? Puh-leaze. Peters’ Quicksilver was fun and had two good scenes, but he wasn’t the cosmos.
* Notice how all the clamoring…
Hayward wasn’t fleeing, he was backing up to try to run down the kids. And he was head of SWORD, so while he clearly exceeded his authority, it’s unclear how much of what he was doing before the Hex was unauthorized. Certainly SWORD’s operatives would normally follow their director’s instructions, and he’d have his…
Wanda is supposed to be this horrible evil that’s destined to destroy the Earth, but we saw no hints of that in the show.
Why was Monica able to see that Agatha was using the necklace to control Fietro? I get that she can now see different spectrums of energy, but what does that have to do with magic?
The Scartlet Witch look is pretty awesome. It has the iconic crown, it doesn’t sexualize her, and I like how the dress and hair emphasize a kind of witchiness.
Re: “Agatha All Along”, have you watched the rest of the season? This is when the sitcom theme songs as part of the narrative stopped making sense to you? It’s well-established by now that the characters are somehow experiencing it all, including the themes, even if it doesn’t really make sense. That was all for…
It’s mostly a function of the four color age of comics. They could only do so many colors and to theme them they tended to use blue, yellow, and red for heroes and green and purple for villains, especially in Marvel. It’s also the reason comic books have such a ridiculously high percentage of blondes and redheads. The…
They mean Carlos Zantanna.
I knew Agatha killed Sparky! A dog-killing, child-snatching villain is far scarier than Thanos.
I think the apology was for the ‘amazing’ pun.
I think it was a non-apology for the potential Spider-pun (amazing)
The pun.
I’m actually hoping DC now casts her as another seemingly random person who turns out to be a comic villain, which by this point everyone will see coming so the fun will be guessing which one it is.
As a fellow board game designer that worked out the still unreleased Bomberman board game for IDW Games I will say the issue is more complex than it appears. IDW made some big bets in their media side of the company doing tv shows for streaming services and it cost them in ways that affected the other divisions of…
Green paired with purple is the big supervillain color scheme.
I didn’t spot this at the time, but saw it on Twitter that flashback Pietro and Wanda were dressed as Black Widow and Nick Fury.
Pietro thinking he died for nothing makes sense if he’s a projection of Wanda’s grief.
A lot of haunting images in this ep, but the one that will stay with me is the woman hanging the decoration, stuck in a loop, with a single tear running down her cheek.
