Agatha All Along’s Latest Cliffhanger May Solve One of Marvel’s Biggest Problems (Unless It Doesn’t)
Agatha knows every inch of Rio Vidal
Before the end of the episode, the coven spends time sharing stories around the fire. Rio announces to the group that she has a scar, and Agatha responds, “No, you don’t.” How would Rio have gotten that scar when she’s been a dead witch for years? What does this mean for Rio’s backstory and her rivalry with Agatha?
Agatha All Along Deserves to Be Queer Beyond Subtext and Casting
Agatha All Along is a show that is bursting with queerness at a base level, because witches will always be inherently queer. But the show also tackles queerness in a bigger way, with characters expressing their sexuality and gender freely. This is a much-needed representation of queer identities on screen.
As Sasheer Zamata, one of the show’s stars, pointed out in an interview with Them, playing queer roles has helped her realize her own identity. This show is not just about a group of witches, but about the power of queer representation and the impact it can have on people’s lives.
While it’s great to see queer representation on screen, it’s also important that the show doesn’t treat queerness as a minor detail. Queerness needs to be a central part of the show’s storyline, not just a box to check off. Here’s hoping that Agatha All Along will continue to explore queerness in a meaningful way.
I Wish I Didn’t Have to Be Skeptical
After this week’s episode of Agatha All Along, I’m left feeling unsure about the show’s willingness to fully commit to a queer storyline. While there are hints of queerness throughout the episode, the show still seems hesitant to fully embrace it.
As someone who doesn’t need representation from movies and TV shows to validate my existence, I may not be the target audience for this show. However, I recognize the importance of queer representation for so many people who are still struggling to see themselves represented on screen.
I hope that Agatha All Along will continue to explore queerness in a meaningful way, rather than just hinting at it. The show has so much potential to make a positive impact on its queer viewers, and I wish it would seize that potential.
