In a surprising twist, Agatha All Along episode 6, “Familiar By Thy Side,” dives deep into the MCU’s timeline and unveils critical details about the Avengers’ status in Phase 5. This episode serves as a nostalgic callback to WandaVision, while simultaneously revealing new insights that will resonate with long-time fans of the franchise.
The episode brings us back to the aftermath of WandaVision’s finale, a pivotal moment that saw Billy Maximoff, played by Joe Locke, take center stage. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a tragic event: William Kaplan’s Bar Mitzvah, which was abruptly interrupted by the Scarlet Witch’s manipulations, ultimately leading to William’s demise. This tragic turn of events allows Billy Maximoff’s soul to inhabit William’s empty body, marking a significant moment for the future of the Young Avengers.
As the episode progresses, we see a conversation between Billy and his boyfriend, Eddie, who nonchalantly suggests that the chaotic events in Westview were merely an “Avengers training exercise gone wrong.” This statement not only references a key plot point from the MCU’s inception but also subtly hints that the public’s perception of the Avengers may still be intact.
The show cleverly ties this moment back to Iron Man (2008), where Tony Stark’s first mission was downplayed as a training exercise after he was intercepted by military jets. This historical parallel not only reinforces the interconnectedness of the MCU’s narrative but also hints at how the public has likely romanticized the actions of the Avengers over the years.
But what does this all mean for the Avengers? Since Avengers: Endgame, the team has faced uncertainty. With President Ross urging Sam Wilson’s Captain America to rebuild the Avengers, it appears that the team’s official status remains ambiguous. Eddie’s comments imply that while the public might believe in the Avengers’ continued existence, the reality is far more complex. The Avengers, operating with a skeleton crew during the Blip, had new faces joining the ranks, but their disbanding after the events of Civil War has led to confusion about their status.
Moreover, the public’s belief in the Avengers likely stems from the monumental Battle of Earth, which was heavily documented. The spectacle of heroes uniting against Thanos has left a lasting impression, fostering a collective memory that the Avengers are merely dormant rather than disbanded. The show’s clever storytelling reinforces this idea, setting the stage for future MCU projects that will undoubtedly explore these themes further.
As Agatha All Along continues to unfold, viewers are left with tantalizing questions about the future of the Avengers and the implications of their public persona. The series masterfully blends nostalgia with fresh narrative elements, promising an exciting road ahead for Marvel fans. With new episodes dropping every Wednesday, the excitement only builds as we edge closer to understanding what’s next for our beloved heroes in this expansive universe.
In the meantime, fans eagerly anticipate how these revelations will play out in upcoming films like Captain America: Brave New World and the long-awaited Avengers 5. The MCU’s intricate web of storytelling remains as compelling as ever, drawing viewers into a narrative rich with history, character development, and the promise of future adventures.
