Agatha: Coven of Chaos – A Phase 1 Callback and a Major Avengers Reveal!
Agatha: Coven of Chaos Episode 6: A Blast From the Past and a Shocking Truth About the Avengers
Whoa, Marvel fans! Agatha: Coven of Chaos episode 6 (“Familiar By Thy Side”) is seriously packed! We got a major callback to Phase 1 of the MCU, and a surprising revelation regarding the Avengers! This episode builds on the shocking reveal (episode 5, “Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power”) that Joe Locke’s “Teen” is actually Billy Maximoff! This reveals some never-before-seen plot details around how he ended up possessing William Kaplan's body; showing events unfolding between WandaVision and Agatha: Coven of Chaos!
This whole thing ties into WandaVision’s finale–it happened on the same day as William Kaplan’s Bar Mitzvah, which got interrupted because the Scarlet Witch shrunk Westview. That led to the Kaplan family crashing their car. This left William dead–creating that moment when Billy’s soul ends up inhabiting him; this unexpected twist creates enormous amounts of potential story lines.
A Familiar Trick: Recreating Iron Man’s Cover-Up
After Billy reveals his identity to his boyfriend Eddie (Miles Gutierrez-Riley), they discuss WandaVision’s ending. Eddie describes it as “an Avengers training exercise gone wrong!”— This becomes another surprise! This totally brings back Iron Man’s first mission, back in 2008! Remember that mission where Tony Stark saved a village? He clashed with fighter jets –then claimed the whole thing was just a messed-up training exercise to cover his identity!
This clever detail from Agatha: Coven of Chaos recalls Iron Man, while subtly confirming something extremely surprising about the Avengers! The way those ideas come together makes it entirely unforgettable; an unexpected reunion of ideas perfectly tied together into this specific episode! And it is something else, and very memorable.
The Avengers' Secret: The Public Still Believes
The Avengers haven't been a team since Avengers: Endgame (2019). We got trailers showcasing the team's disbanding; that’s confirmed for Captain America: Brave New World, despite President Ross’s efforts to bring them back. But get this– this reveals the massive implication surrounding how these characters remain public figures: even if they are not a formal active team anymore, that might not be something public knowledge for now, which is implied from Eddie’s words; making the implications regarding what these might entail completely impactful.
This is highly plausible given the intense, global scope surrounding the Battle of Earth. The fact that Endgame saw that incredible multiversal fight between so many MCU heroes makes it obvious it would have received world-wide news coverage. This likely convinced people that Avengers were returning! But it wasn’t actually the truth; creating one of those crucial moments which hints at future revelations for various series and movies. The MCU will need to make all this very clear, so expect it in future titles.
Conclusion: A Clever Nod to the Past, Seeds of the Future
This small Agatha: Coven of Chaos moment perfectly displays clever storytelling! It’s a massive callback to Iron Man while cleverly setting up potential Phase 5 narrative aspects, and adding significant storytelling for future installations. Even tiny details in casual conversations could seed plot developments: That casual comment confirms that the Avengers remain part of the collective consciousness; yet hints at something more dramatic which will certainly appear sometime later; raising an essential aspect; audiences remain engaged without any indication. And it totally leaves us wanting more– those key plot revelations continue and it becomes extremely likely this theme of a secretive Avengers status will emerge again.
