To be fair ... Tony had been zapped by Wanda when he made Ultron. Hulk‘s one recent rampage was also inflicted. Ronin’s victims were presumably vicious killers themselves. Black widow wasn’t given a choice at first, and was probably mentally conditioned since she was a child. TomB

Except, there was that scene in the hospital, which was chaotic, and there were complaints that there were too many patients. Was that was just the chaos of the moment? (Comics and all, this doesn’t really need to work. I’m not stuck on the point.) TomB

Yeah. It was interesting the mentions of both the snap and the unsnap, and the ramifications of each. In reality, the unsnap would be an unmitigated disaster, with five years of decay of infrastructure. Delivery pipelines would be structured for half as many people. Half as much production...

Yeah, but, wouldn't there be one if not several organizations actively tracking all high level supers? Both as support staff and as external monitors. I just can't see any of these folks not having a constant halo of "observers". And even with the paucity of true Avengers, would there be...

I have to admit ... there is a bit of a disconnect at the end. There should be other Avengers on-hand to assist. And the initial issue was the town being put into a reality bubble. That should be seen as at least kidnapping, and definitely as causing emotional distress to a few thousand...

Haha, a fish called Wanda!

Hear hear! Bittersweet indeed. I’m looking forward to the resolution, yet am sad the series is ending. Thanks all for the lively speculation. TomB

Can we label this as undecided? I had a hard time reading Agnes during her confrontation with the coven. She displays just hints of a few thinks. Not enough to tell clearly. To me she seems a little unaffected, but there are possibles reasons. I suspect the confrontation was deliberately...

Yup. This whole idea of ”magic” was only briefly hinted-at. The audience is being introduced to some additional structure: Witches exist, and have power sources and spells and covens, and a detailed history.

I’m thinking Agatha is being used, in part, to flesh out the “magic” part of the MCU universe. Previously, MCU only had Dr Strange, Wanda, and bits from the TV shows. Putting in Agatha seems to be a first step into stories that feature magic more prominently. I agree, we will only get bits...

Well, they could have said more. I’m thinking the vagueness is deliberate. They’ve painted Agatha darkly, but not enough to keep us from wondering. That also makes Agatha much more interesting. Note that the director of SWORD even has some ambiguity. Heck, even Thanos made a valid point...

Sure. But staying within what was presented: Agatha trifled with forbidden power, and Agatha’s mother truly believed that Agatha could not possibly control them or do good with them. “Daughter, you’ve saturated your body with radioactive plutonium.” “I can suppress it so that it won’t hurt...

I dunno. We are missing a lot of details re: The fight with the coven. But ... Who else would police secretive and powerful witches except the witches themselves? it is conceivable that certain powers irrevocably cause a descent into madness or evil. It is also conceivable that the coven’s...

So Agnes ... perhaps the wrong turn was getting stuck in town, and she was actually trying to leave town when discovered by Vision, except Wanda’s mental control made leaving impossible. I’m thinking more is going on with Agnes. TomB

A different take on the Babylon 5 theme: The Aleph Continuity had long retired to the great empty voids between galaxies. Their thoughts slowly cooled towards absolute zero in the billion light-year vastness. Except, two refused to pass into quiescence: Brothers Harachim and Haranesh. Chim...

I thought there was a fuzzy line between "private" and "privateer", with the latter having a commission to capture enemy merchant vessels? And, that often "privateers" might become "pirates" (haha: not "privates"), if their commission expired, or if they just didn't want to stop plundering, or...

Say, the demons that arrived through a portal: Perhaps a physical ring (ala stargate) or an outline, with enabling components at key points. The lava was intended to destroy the key components, but demons and cultists were able to scatter them in time. Many of the demons fled or were...

Any thoughts as to the meaning of the calculations that vision is doing? I’m thinkinking this is important, but I have no ideas beyond that gut feeling.

some questions: What is the tech novel of the target civs? Is there any resource which is scarce? What are their motivations? Are these idiosyncratic or highly emotional or irrational? Are any of the civs non-emotional and highly ordered? Are the civs comprehensible to each other? Are you...
