Things I loved:

- Wanda beating Agnes by enchanting the runes on the hex.
- Vision getting into a philosophical debate with White Vision, who I assume we'll see again. It's the WandaVision equivalent of killing off Gamora and then having a slightly younger Gamora join the team in the very next film.
- Jimmy saying "flourish" when he got himself out of his handcuffs. What a dork.
- Monica showing Wanda the compassion and forgiveness she desperately needed.
- Emma Caulfield! She's so gorgeous. The fact that her character is named after an historical figure from the Salem Witch Trials is extra delightful. If anyone is interested, she spoke to Vanity Fair about being a deliberate red herring, here!

Things I didn't love:

- fucking Hayward. What a badly written, weak ass villain. All the little moments of him pointing out that it is hard to live in a world that's constantly turned into a battleground by superheroes etc - and any sympathy he might have garnered by living through and being in charge after the blip; dude certainly didn't ask for giant purple Josh Brolin to come down from space and kill half of everyone - were completely eroded by the end. They could have made him nuanced and sympathetic, even with his ambitions; they didn't. In a story about the multifacets grief, it's a letdown.

Anyway! Thank you all for coming on this journey with me, I really enjoyed reading everyone's comments.

Here's one last gift - it's Agatha All Along but in Animal Crossing. ♥

Yeah. Hayward was such a one note villain at the end. The could have had him paranoid about future threats, or bitter and suspicious of super heroes because of what happened. Instead we got "mwhahahaaa they'll sure promote me and give me money now that I made a super weapon for them!"

May Jimmy get to flourish in future shows.
