So, Wandavision?

Based on what? The events of the episodes so far seem to show a consistency in the time outside and inside the Hex.

You mean aside from the fact that many times it was night in the outside world, but day inside the Hex? And there was a line in there somewhere by Darcy to the effect of she had been watching whole seasons for each decade, not the single episode per that we saw?

Why would Pietro‘s death specifically get media play though?

Because they're gorram superheroes, and they saved hundred of people in a huge fight with hundreds of robots in the presence of civilians! Because every single person who got out of that city would have been interviewed by media. Because Pietro saved a young boy's life, and Hawkeye would have made sure people knew it. Because some politicos used this event to come up with laws, which would have been talked about a lot in the media, who have every reason to try to look at it from every angle, because that gets eyeballs and clicks.

And because, quite simply, there's no specific reason to keep Pietro secret, and there's no specific in-canon statement that his presence was hidden.

We are trying to figure out what Agatha's up to, sure. But there's enough clearly weird stuff that we shouldn't go manufacturing it.

You can do that by producing light. You don't need a temporal anomaly for that.

A season of 20-odd half-hour episodes would be... 10 hours real-time action inside the Hex - so one day.

So, one prediction for how Wanda could short-circuit the whole confrontation with Agatha - I think, unless she was being very smart and setting Wanda up, Agatha may have out-smugged herself back in the basement when she was showing off her superior witchy knowledge.

She pointed out the warding runes to Wanda, and told her that when a practitioner puts them up in her domain it prevents anyone else's magic from working there.

Well, the whole Hex is Wanda's domain, its physicality under her control, and there's nothing stopping her from erecting a set of 500-foot-tall warding runes at its borders and powering them up with chaos magic.

Which also raises the question why doesn’t the sorcerer supreme do the same thing for The Entire Planet

Isn't that kind-of what the Sanctums were doing? Not stopping all magic, but certainly warding against external threats.

Except that Wanda could not see the runes when Agatha tried to point them out to her and she would have no knowledge of the right ones to use or how to cast them. But if the power of the Phoenix ...... Scarlet Witch fully manifests in her, it will not matter what Agatha tries to do.

Because users of magic have limits to their power, generally speaking. Wanda seems to be about at her limits with her control of Westview, for example. Warding an entire planet would just be too big.

Plus, the infinity stone that each Sorcerer Supreme had been guarding, and maybe drawing power from, is now gone. That is sure to be a hit to what the MCU version of the character can do.
