7My musings on the MCU Disney + series Agatha All Along episode 7 where Disney does some product placement Sound effects ...
Greetings everyone,
Episode seven of "Agatha All Along" had a surprising twist that actually piqued my interest. Although I often find myself criticizing the show for its various flaws, this episode had a glimmer of excellence that deserves an honourable mention. Despite the usual issues with inconsistent characterization and baffling script, the storyline revolving around Lilia caught my attention and showed some emotional depth. However, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had seen a similar plot in another film or show but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
The episode kicks off with a disoriented Lilia, clearly lost in a world of darkness. Her attire points towards a well-known green witch, perhaps Glinda from "The Wizard of Oz". This, paired with the costumes of the other characters, seems to foreshadow upcoming events. The story gets more convoluted as we follow Billy and Agatha on their journey, their characters shifting depending on the requirements of each scene. Their constant chatter feels heavy and pointless, making their scenes a bit of an ordeal.
The episode starts to unfold as we witness Lilia's trial. The trial takes place in an underground passage, which, although well-designed, is poorly executed. However, the story starts to redeem itself as we delve into Lilia's life. Throughout the series, Lilia's character has been dropping random statements that seem out of place. But in this episode, we realize she's been living her life in a non-linear fashion, creating a patchwork of scenes that are surprisingly well put together.
Patty Leone expertly portrays Lilia's confusion and ultimate acceptance of her fate. We learn that Lilia's first coven had all met an untimely death, which explains her reluctance to join another coven. She also discovers that Rio is Death, a plot twist which many of us saw coming.
However, despite its high points, the episode still suffers from inconsistent writing and character development. The plot's lack of logic and coherence is annoying, as events seem to happen just for the sake of it. The characters of Billy and Agatha flip-flop depending on the needs of the scene, which undermines their credibility.
On a positive note, the episode shines in its portrayal of Lilia's journey. The time-jumping is handled with finesse, and her end is satisfyingly heroic, a quality that has been sorely lacking in recent MCU productions.
But the episode is not without its moral quandaries. Lilia saves a group of evil witches from the wrath of those seeking justice, indirectly assisting the villains. This raises several ethical questions and adds a layer of complexity to Lilia's character.
In conclusion, while this episode had its shining moments, particularly with Lilia's story arc, it was still tainted by the usual issues of inconsistent writing and character development. However, it was a refreshing change to see a more nuanced and complex storyline, even if it was wrapped in a package of mediocrity.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree that there were some redeeming qualities in this otherwise average episode, or was it just more of the same? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
