The major plot for Agatha All Along seems to be about Agatha and her new coven traveling the witches road. Some fans were, rightfully, upset by this realization because this is one of Scarlet Witch’s major storylines from one of her few solo titles. Those of us that have been in the trenches of the internet for the last few years have heard things like, “Wanda can’t carry her own movie” and “there isn’t enough to her character for a whole trilogy”. Now both of these statements are blatantly wrong and show a distinct lack of comic book knowledge and common sense. But the idea that there is a lack of substance to her character is present in the fandom. So to take one of her major storylines and give it to Agatha is wildly insulting. That said, I have faith in Jac Shaeffer as she is the only one to handle my Wanda with care and respect. So what exactly is the witches road storyline and what parts of it will we actually see in the show?

Now if none of that sounds like it would fit in the current version of the witches road in the MCU, you would be 100% correct. I think that really the only part of this that they are going to use is that the witches road is a source of magic and power. And perhaps they will use it to resurrect Wanda. But considering that the comic book storyline is so tied to Wanda and her growth as a person and the people that she is emotionally tied to, I don’t think that this is a true adaptation. I really think that they probably just liked the name and the vague concept. So I am not extremely worried about it.
