Agnes and Herb have both seemed aware of the situation to some extent. I wonder if someone else is involved as well? After all, Agnes' broach did have 3 figures on it. As far as the people closer to the Hex's edge - I remember Wanda made reference that she wouldn't be able to make sure everyone made it to their dentist appointments on time, so micro-managing everyone would be difficult. I wonder if she keeps certain people in that catatonic state when she doesn't need them. Or if being further away from the 'main production' causes them to go into catatonic state.
I don't think she's doing this on her own. I do think that the Yo-Magic was hinting at multiple things but I wondered if it meant, someone was boosting her abilities, feeding off her energy, or using her to cause people pain to feed off that.
As far as who Agnes is - I do think she is Agatha Harkness, but I believe she's working with either Mephisto, Nightmare or some similar or amalgam entity. Maybe even Dreamqueen?
"Pietro" - I'm positive that this isn't actually Pietro and I said it from the jump (to my friends). He doesn't behave anything like MCU Pietro. He does have a bit of XCU Peter to him, but it's off. I noticed his hair was supposed to be wind-swept, and an ode to the way he was drawn in early comics...but I felt like they were also representing devil horns. He also seemed interested on where the children were or how they got brought into this episode. He spends a lot of time with his nephews. So something tells me there is something nefarious happening with the children. Whoever the Magic-Baddie is perhaps is drawn to children and feeds off them, and Wanda had hid them in some way in the first 5 episodes subconsciously? |
