Agatha: Dark Marvel Theory Explains That Shocking death and Fixes a Huge Plot Hole!
Agatha: All Along Episode 5 – A Tragic Twist and a Game-Changing Theory
Whoa, Agatha: All Along episode 5 ("Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power") was a wild ride! So many shocking reveals, especially "Teen" being revealed as Wiccan (Scarlet Witch's son!), and Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) showing her true colors during the third trial on the Witches' Road! Those earlier trials went okay, but episode 5 ended with complete chaos. This article explores exactly just what happened and will explore a theory that might resolve everything!
Agatha's new coven passed the first two trials (creating an antidote and singing a song). But the third? "Punish Agatha." They could've left her with her mom's ghost, Evanora Harkness (Kate Forbes), but that's not what happened. The exit opened. Did they pass the trial? A Reddit user, crashcanuck, suggests a darker interpretation of the entire trial and reveals a completely unexpected possibility! It changes everything, folks!
Agatha’s Punishment: A Shocking Death and a Twisted Resolution
At first, it seems like the third trial failed because Agatha wasn't with her mom. But that exit door opened! This means that they did, in fact, manage to completely fulfill that particular request and pass that specific trial, only leading to a truly horrific outcome! The theory presented explains that Agatha's punishment is that her power-stealing, killing Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn). Alice was protecting Agatha from her mother – and paid the ultimate price. This adds another level, too; that bond created throughout earlier episodes– turning into a profoundly heartbreaking and unexpected loss that significantly impacts those surrounding Agatha’s very character design.
Agatha’s grief— and that big reveal of her true nature—might be her true punishment. It suggests the coven completely succeeded in this unexpectedly complex ritual!
Agatha’s Punishment: A Gift in Disguise?
This wild theory argues that Agatha's punishment was always planned: getting power by taking Alice’s life; a horribly tragic way of getting what Agatha most wanted; regaining that power Scarlet Witch stole! For Agatha, that tragic loss and power acquisition; that very horrific end to a seemingly positive sisterhood; serves a dual-purpose, becoming a completely twisted gift of exactly what she desired the most. She succeeds! Through unimaginable losses; completely reshaping the existing storyline and that future narrative entirely. She might even be closer to fulfilling that particular goal – at least within those very particular events.
Conclusion: Agatha’s Path Gets Significantly Darker…
This theory reshapes everything from episode 5. Instead of some failed ritual it now might have been a planned event which fully completed this trial – demonstrating the writers' dark brilliance at resolving apparently random plots with an intricate design; creating unexpected but strangely believable revelations about the entire process involved and how different character’s desires interwove. Agatha's power increase adds fuel to future episodes; not merely focusing on those events leading toward the overall resolution and revealing these crucial underlying details; it might provide significant answers which would ultimately resolve much of the lingering questions surrounding the overarching storyline itself! This seemingly simplistic plot carries far more intricate depth than may otherwise be easily assumed.
