It may surprise some readers to learn that the Agatha Harkness of the comics isn't the big bad she's portrayed as in WandaVision. She's had her morally dubious moments, let's put it that way, but ultimately she served as a wise old mentor - first to the Fantastic Four, and then to Wanda second.
WandaVision's ending flips this relationship on its head a bit. Agatha offers to mentor Wanda on her new powers but rather than let Harkness retain her dangerous, conniving self, Wanda reverts her back to nosy neighbour Agnes. This way, she can access Harkness' knowledge as and when she wants to, without the threat of being desiccated by her gnarly purple magic.
It would be wise to count on Agatha appearing again, especially as Wanda learns to get to grips with her new abilities, and understand her destiny as the Scarlet Witch in that fantastic new (comics-accurate) costume.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
