Warning: This article contains spoilers for the finale of Agatha Agatha
It used to be that you could set your watch by a post-credits scene from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but times have changed. The beginning is iron man In 2008, The Stinger immediately became synonymous with Marvel’s mainline franchise until Avengers: Endgame More than a decade later, this trend was broken. Now, post-credits scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are no longer a guarantee, even if they seem inevitable.
The fact that Marvel’s Phase 5 TV shows have all but avoided post-credits Easter eggs is especially gratifying to a growing number of voices who feel they’re completely unnecessary. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has gotten into a situation where too many Stingers have vague future projects that don’t pay off, and — let’s face it — we’re all just too impatient to want to do anymore This happens again and again. EternalsWhile his actual film was stuck in development hell, the end credits promised Blade’s arrival.
“Echoes” is the only episode in Phase 5 of the Marvel Universe to have a post-credits Easter egg.
Despite this cynicism, you could be forgiven for believing this Agatha has always A post-credits scene will be included, specifically with the Scarlet Witch’s shadow looming over the place. This project always felt destined to suggest that she was Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘Ultimately, it ended in a shocking event: Agatha has always There is no post-credits scene at all. What’s even more shocking is that it’s the right thing to do.
Agatha never needed ending credits
‘WandaVision’ spinoff does something more satisfying
If there’s one thing worth learning from Agatha has alwaysthis was a clever deception orchestrated by showrunner Jacques Schaeffer. Three years after the Marvel Universe’s internet fanbase lost its collective sanity over Mephisto’s implication that he didn’t even exist, Schaefer has framed the potential for Scarlet Witch’s return in a way that consciously taps into that same, inescapable bubble of painful expectation. Weaponized.
There is no doubt that there is a multiverse in which Agatha has alwaysThe post-credits scene jumps back to the ruins of Windagore Mountain and shows rubble suspended over the spot where Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff died, but that’s not this universe, and we should be grateful. It would be costly and unnecessary, and instead we all continue to hold out hope that Scarlet Witch will return to the Marvel Universe at some point in the future without overshadowing its shine. Agatha has alwayshappy ending.
What Agatha has always delivered instead of the post-credits scene (and why it’s better)
We don’t need Wanda, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost for the Scarlet Witch
Instead of any post-credits scene, Agatha has alwaysInstead, Hahn’s ending sets the stage for what’s to come, with Hahn’s delightful antihero becoming a reference to Joe Rourke’s Billy Maximoff’s fake “Ballad of the Witches” “Spiritual guide”. Instead of jumping into the big drama of a heretofore non-existent Scarlet Witch solo movie, we get a tantalizing hook that could have been replaced by whatever Agatha has always Season 2. If I were a betting man I would suggest this will be the new Marvel release Avengers: Children’s Crusade.
In that story, it happened M House Scarlet Witch’s loss of control resulted in the deaths of several Avengers, and the Wiccan and Young Avengers began searching for Wanda years after she left Marvel Comics. It’s a typically complex storyline that follows the consequences of Wanda’s infamous “no more mutants” spell and unites more Marvel characters who haven’t yet worked in the MCU – including the X-Men.
but Agatha has alwaysThe ending offers some hints that Billy will now embark on his own “kid crusade” to find not Wanda but Tommy, a story that will surely deal with the end of Maximoff’s children in some way journey. By avoiding post-credits scenes that explicitly set up Scarlet Witch and ending with the promise of finding Tommy, Agatha has always Serves the surviving characters perfectly. The next chapter has been set, and there’s definitely a route back to Wanda, but we should all admire the courage to not give up easily.
After the events of WandaVision, Agatha Harkness attempts to regain her magic. She joins forces with unexpected allies, including the son of an old rival, to fight a mysterious new threat while uncovering the secrets hidden within the magical realm.
