A tear just rolled down Joss' cheek.

The hex is still there. After all, it is what will keep Agatha in "character" now that Wanda left Westview. Wanda now knows how to control her magic.
I enjoyed it all. The leads absolutely killed it. They had great on screen chemistry and it was cool seeing them given a bit more freedom of action over all.
I was also left wanting more Jimmy Woo, the character has a lot of potential for one of Marvels un powered additions.

Honestly I would tend towards more rewatchable not less as it didnt focus as much on reveals as we thought it might.
As I pointed out in my previous post, a strong, memorable Big Bad has always been Marvel's fatal flaw. Thanos was the exception that proved the rule. Hela was great but, as you pointed out, it was just one Asgardian fighting another.
The MCU also has a bad habit of making even the better Villains one and done. Red Skull had one film in his prime, then disappeared for seven years. And in his next appearance, he's little more than a ghost. Hela was fun, but there's no indication she'll return from being destroyed along with Asgard. Ego's dead, the Mandarin turned out to be a Troll job on the level with Bettany's, "surprise cameo" and the less said about Malaketh, the better.
Heh, well I loved Abomination and thought The Leader was set up well, I also liked Thunderbot Ross. Too bad they don't do Hulk stuff anymore.
I also thought the guy who played Yellowjacket was terrifying. Similar powers to Ant Man sure but it was necessary to set up for those "small world" fights on the toy train track etc.
The best marvel villains imo
1. Thanos
2. Red Skull
3. Loki
4. Mysterio
5. Vulture
That is a pretty good top 5 IMO, Agatha would have been in there if her motivations were a little more interesting.
What this show did best was style imo. Sprinkling bits of sitcom and comic book fan service over a plot that let a bunch of different directors/writers parody 70 years of American sitcoms using characters from the hottest film franchise on Earth right now should have been a mess. But it wasn't, it was a great ride, imo.
Even so, there were some misses. They shouldn't have let leak a Dr. Strange cameo if there wasn't going to be one, it's just sort of a useless disappointment. I don't really understand what happened with the Fox quicksilver, I feel they have badly besmirched his good name.
Agatha needed a little more complexity, maybe a whole episode of her own, we should have had a clear goal for her other than "powah, unlimited powah" - sure, she wanted Scarlett Johansson's powers but for what? To play with them? To buy a boat? What did she fucking want dawg?
Show hasn't really wrapped up

Another problem I had with this episode was Wanda's Vision vs KKK Vision. Both have literally identical power sets, so it never felt like there was any real threat to Good Guy Vision.
