Agatha All Along Episode 1 Review #Axat

Hello my fellow Marvelers, excelsior and welcome to my MCU reviews!

Agatha All Along maintains the Wandavision facade, taking the mickey out of Mare of Easttown starring Kate Winslet in its opening episode. :)

Aubrey Plaza has sure come a long way since her deadpanning Parks & Recreation days. Or has she? In this new Marvel Television Wandavision spinoff, her character is another version of her snide-snipe-smirk April.

Nevertheless, I am happy to see her as the newest addition to the MCU.

I love alliteration. I love the MCU. Hence, I love AAA. I am Axat, and this is my review. What are your thoughts about AAA? Share in comments!

Seekest Thou The Road follows Agatha as Agnes the Mare of Easttown doppelganger, shadowed by the Darkhold, acronymized as a book title.

It's not slow, but it's not fast, either. There is an understandable lack of CGI, given the overdose viewers [voyeurs?] have been given in the past.

Judging too early? Maybe, but that's what we do these days of instant internet inquisition, don';t we? I thought The Acolyte was not too bad. Check out my review of each episode of that Star Wars series, and tell!

So we move to the next level of Westview, with Agatha back in Wanda's make-believe US TV-recreation of the real world, which was a show too!

Aubrey Plaza's witch doesn't seem settled in her skin, and the little domestic throwaround is more to test the stunt team than the story.

No wonder Tom Cruise has to do his own stunts - he doesn't have the luxury of free-flowing hair to hide the fall guys 'n' gals from the camera.

The Fall Guy was an over the top stunt trip too, but that WAS in the title.

That's an example of "Exactly what is says on the tin," a widely used TV Trope that can be researched via wiki-walking through the website. xkcd

A nice spiral in the links I mentioned above is that the page image for Exactly what is says on the tin on TV Tropes is the xkcd of River Tam.

Spiraling back to AAA, I feel the first episode could have done without the physical altercation between Agatha and her-as-yet-unnamed foe.

Let's see the next rhyme-named episode, Circle sewn with fate / Unlock thy hidden gate unlocks for us as we go along the yellow brick road! Ciao
