Nobody Really Wanted This F-ing Thing in the First Place

In case you missed it, a new MCU TV show was released yesterday, Agatha All Along. I haven't seen it, because Disney+ is not in my budget. Neither is setting piles of cash on fire, or flushing them down the toilet, which would be a better use of cash than spending it on anything Disney, let alone Disney+.

Then there are the "purple carpet" clips on YT and X. Agatha All Along is apparently the gayest MCU production ever. OK then. Which is why The Critical Drinker asks "Who was this even made for?"

The consensus seems to be, as Drinker states, that it was made for suburban wine moms, with a passing interest in the MCU. (Talk about a niche audience!) Maybe with a side-order of the mythical modern audience. For an MCY show, there are no superheroes, it is vaguely a spinoff of a spinoff, and it is about a character that literally no one, except for people deep in the nerd culture, ever heard of before the failed TV show, Wanda Vision. It would make more sense to make a show about Amanda Waller minus Task Force X (The Suicide Squad) than to make this movie. (And that would make no sense at all.)

In other words, it is more Disney/Marvel drek. Whether it descends to the level of schlock remains to be seen.

Since we are stuck with others' opinions it is good they are entertaining.

This is Critical Drinker's video Agatha All Along - Who Was This Even Made For?

The title to this post is basically a quote from Drinker and this video.

The Critical Drinker is not the only one to have this take. Here are three:

• Derek Anderson - The D.A. - INCOMING TRAIN WRECK! MCU’s Agatha All Along Looks Like Another WOKE DUMPSTER FIRE For Marvel!
• Snarky Jay - AGATHA ALL ALONG is a "GAY EXPLOSION!?" | Disney's NEW STRATEGY!
• Valliant Renegade - "Gayest Marvel EVER" - Agatha All Along IS The Acolyte Season 2

Valliant Renegade's video seems to have been deep sixed by the YT algorithm, so I hope you will watch it. It is only 11 minutes.

Alan Ng of Film Threat also reviewed the first 2 episodes, but it is part of a 2 hour podcast. If they publish a short excerpt, I will update this post. In the meantime, here is what he said on X.

Unlike the Acolyte, there is no lore breaking because it's based on no lore. There are gay characters, but being gay is irrelevant and exists solely for virtue signaling. It's not woke garbage...it's just garbage.
