Agatha: Coven of Chaos – A Phase 1 Callback and a Major Avengers Reveal!
Whoa, Marvel fans! Agatha: Coven of Chaos episode 6 (“Familiar By Thy Side”) is seriously packed! We got a major callback toPhase 1of theMCU, and a surprising revelation regarding theAvengers!This episode builds on the shocking reveal (episode 5, “Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power”) thatJoe Locke’s “Teen”is actuallyBilly Maximoff! This reveals some never-before-seen plot details around how he ended up possessingWilliam Kaplan'sbody; showing events unfolding betweenWandaVisionandAgatha: Coven of Chaos!
This whole thing ties intoWandaVision’sfinale–it happened on the same day asWilliam Kaplan’sBar Mitzvah, which got interrupted because theScarlet WitchshrunkWestview. That led to theKaplanfamily crashing their car. This leftWilliamdead–creating that moment whenBilly’ssoul ends up inhabiting him; this unexpected twist creates enormous amounts of potential story lines.
AfterBillyreveals his identity to his boyfriendEddie(Miles Gutierrez-Riley), they discussWandaVision’sending.Eddiedescribes it as “anAvengerstraining exercise gone wrong!”— This becomes another surprise! This totally brings backIron Man’sfirst mission, back in2008!Remember that mission whereTony Starksaved 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 fromAgatha: Coven of ChaosrecallsIron Man, while subtly confirming something extremely surprising about theAvengers! 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.
TheAvengershaven't been a team sinceAvengers: Endgame(2019). We got trailers showcasing the team's disbanding; that’s confirmed forCaptain America: Brave New World, despitePresident Ross’sefforts 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 fromEddie’swords; making the implications regarding what these might entail completely impactful.
This is highly plausible given the intense, global scope surrounding theBattle of Earth. The fact thatEndgamesaw that incredible multiversal fight between so manyMCUheroes makes it obvious it would have received world-wide news coverage. This likely convinced people thatAvengerswere returning! Butit wasn’t actually the truth;creating one of those crucial moments which hints at future revelations for various series and movies. TheMCUwill need to make all this very clear, so expect it in future titles.
This smallAgatha: Coven of Chaosmoment perfectly displays clever storytelling! It’s a massive callback toIron Manwhile cleverly setting up potentialPhase 5narrative aspects, and adding significant storytelling for future installations. Even tiny details in casual conversations could seed plot developments: That casual comment confirms thattheAvengersremain 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.
