So, Wandavision?

So, Tommy and Billy. Not a lot of talk on them (unless I missed it). But they are going to be major players in the final battle of the season right?

With Agnes saying in Episode 5 "{Sigh} Kids {Chuckles} You can't control 'em. No matter how hard you try." That now Means Something, right?

With Wanda vs Agnes, Monica vs Pietro, Darcy and Woo vs Heyward. That leaves Vision fairly alone with the boys being at least wildcards in the situation.

They will likely be deleted from existence when the big bad absorbs them to fully manifest. Thus casing Wanda to go completely librarian-poo and have to be imprisoned in the Dungeon Dimension by Doctor Who Strange.

I doubt they will be involved in any slugfest.

I think if that happens, it will be to fuel her going full godmode, and overwriting reality on a cosmic scale, creating a multiversal conflux that brings mutants and perhaps other stuff into the same world as the MCU.

I understand that's more-or-less what happens in the comic-book line that inspired much of the show, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll take the same tack here. I'm not sure Disney are going to be keen on essentially killing off a couple of kids - or jettisoning a popular female superhero character.

I expect that there will be some threat of it happening, and it will be serious motivation for both Wanda and Vision.

Fair point. But it would be a bit odd of them to make the book look like another book. If they wanted to disguise it, they could have disguised it as any other household item. So in that respect, I think it is fair to assume that the book is as we see it.

Have you not been watching? Cars turn into different cars. Drones turn into toy helicopters. People get fashion makeovers - the actual function doesn't change, but outward appearance does. It isn't so much disguise, as it is changing to match genre.

But I think given how prominently we are shown the book, that it isn't just a simple spellbook, or a book we've never heard of. It must be something very vital to the plot, and possibly also to Doctor Strange. The show is now really leaning into the witchcraft. Still, that does not exclude the possibility that they are introducing an all new book as their MacGuffin.

I wouldn't call it a MacGuffin. The MacGuffin is the object that has no other use than to drive the plot. The Maltese Falcon being the iconic example. It doesn't do anything at all in the story, but it is desired and sought. Nobody's looking for this book. If it wasn't set dressing to dirve the point that Agatha's about MAGIC to those who don't know the comics, it probably has significant actual function. So, not a MacGuffin.

I expect the kids to age-up one more time to help out their parents, leaving them properly Speed and Wiccan for the Young Avengers (show or movie - probably show). There almost certainly won't be a WandaVision season two, but a sequel show (not just Multiverse of Magic) should be fully expected.

If you trust the outward appearance of anything on the show, you may have missed the point.

(That said, as they moved into the basement, I think they switched to the "real world" aspect ratio, so I think what we see may be what we get in the Basement)

Maybe not, but if the basement is under/outside of the hex, I’d think they’d have to pass through an energy barrier?

The Necronomicon. It also has a history in the MCU as a bit of a "lesser Darkhold".

The Book of the Vishanti is supposed to be filled with "white magic", and so it probably isn't that.
The Book of Cagliostro gets mentioned in the Doctor Strange movie. Would it have left the library?
Marvel comics have several other magical tomes of note (the Book of Demonicus, the Tome of Zhered-Na, the Iron Bound Books of Shuma Gorath, etc) but they are all kind of obscure, and would just be "magical book" in this context... which is fine, actually. Agatha doesn't have to be working from a specific known book.

Speaking of which, that orange energy coming from the book looks a lot like the color-signature from the type of magic the sorcerers use. Can anyone confirm if it matches?

I expect Agatha was aging them. She was always present, after all.

It looked to me like acts of will on the kids part. They tend to look at each other, as if making a mutual decision, and such. She may be invested in encouraging them to age....

If, as they sang, it was Agatha all along, I don't doubt that she might have a location inside the barrier, but not subject to the transformations of appearance.
