Trailer Marvel Television’s Agatha All Along | Teaser Trailer | Disney+

Holy cow! That looks 100000000000x better than I thought.

It definitely looks better than I expected.

Not that I think it will be, but it would be cool if it turned out to be the same character as she played on Legion. Given that they're working on bringing in mutants and all, I mean.

It would be, but my solid belief is that Jac Schaeffer's attitude towards non-MCU Marvel stuff is that it's basically a joke and that Disney in general and Feige generally feel the same way (give or take). Which to be clear, I'm not condemning her for - it's a valid approach and clearly she's very talented - but I also don't think we'll see anything like that, no matter how apposite and timely it might be. Maybe it's for the best, too, the more like "normal Marvel" WV got, the worse it got.

To be specific, I think WandaVision started really well then gradually vanished up its own bum, though a combination of a terrible trite-even-at-the-time Marvel ending (and general increasing "generic Marvel"-ness), and just undermining its own premise in various ways (not least trying to say "Uh well torturing all those people was okay-ish actually", which was particularly dumb given the post-credits scene). Also I know people love/are desperately horny for Kat Dennings but she was terrible in WV, like genuinely made the show worse. Hopefully they don't have anyone doing that this time.

Yeah, initially it seemed like it might be going in the direction of "police detective gains supernatural powers through repressed personailty", and that did sound like a good time.

They could have just had her jumping through different TV show genres like the early, good episodes of Wandervision.

Did they really? I thought that wasn't really excused; more that they couldn't do anything to Wanda for it because of her power level.

I didn't think it got that bad at the end. I thought the resolution with the Visions was good, and Wanda's victory over Agatha made sense. There was more CGI pew-pew than I'd have preferred, but I always like it when one of these superhero shows or movies resolves and beats the baddie with something clever or characterful rather than just CGI violence. Which I was glad was the case with WV.

I have seen the trailer like four or five times at this point. Really excited for this.

Yes absolutely it did, Spectrum (iirc - someone like that) basically approaches her and says "Oh well you didn't really do anything wrong at all! Let's just forgive and forget!", and yet she did a lot of extremely wrong stuff, which is basically discounted as like, sour grapes or not really worth considering because they're just NPCs and this other PC told you to not care. This was discussed at great length at the time, so that you've forgotten such a contentious point is interesting. The show did a classic awful MCU thing and brought up real and kind of horrific concerns, then casually handwaved them.

It's a huge pity and perhaps intentional that the MCU turned Damage Control into a weird FBI-like government agency, rather than the people who have to deal with the absolute disasters this awful superhuman creatures so casually create and flounce away from.

A real Damage Control show, about the actual Marvel Damage Control, not the weird one from Ms Marvel would be tremendous, honestly, because they could look at what it would be like for people to live in a world like this, some the MCU shows seem weirdly keen on bringing up, but allergic to actually dealing with. It's like someone has a peanut allergy and they keep buying packets of peanuts or something.

Which I was glad was the case with WV.

That wasn't really the case though. It was still 95% CGI pew-pew. The stuff with the Visions, weirdly, felt much better and also somehow like the show cared about that more, even though that was also CGI. Can't help but think Paul Bettany being one of only two people on the show to give a consistently good performance was part of that (the other being Kathryn Hahn - Liz Olsen was great in some scenes but not consistent).

Both the last two episodes featured a ton of generic Marvel drivel too, instead of the much more imaginative stuff that had come before.

This is the closest I'll get to a second season of Wandavision, which is still my fav MCU D+ show, so I'm into it.

The teaser was more exciting but I guess this does give us some more idea of the conflicts that will arise along the way.
