I LOVED this episode - especially the reveal of it being Agatha Harkness (with the nod to the old "The Munsters" TV theme at the end.) <--- That was really great.
I'm also an OLD Fantastic Four fan - and hadn't really kept up with anything beyond the early to mid 80s - and knew most of Marvel's 'history from the early start in the 60s (I collected a lot of back issues as a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s) to the very late 70s when my interest in Marvel waned and I only kept up with a couple of series (pretty much FF, Avengers, Thor, X-Men and Hulk) and I was wondering why (if it was Agatha Harkness ) people here were saying "She's the Villain" because I remembered her from the Fantastic Four stories in the 70s where she was a somewhat neutral character who did help Franklin Richards control his vast powers growing up - and defeating Ultron with them.
So yeah, I then went online and read the rest of the Agatha Harkness character history since then, and wow - she really turned out to be not so 'nice'.
Still as a BIG FF fan who can't wait for the MCU version of them - it was interesting to see a character who started in FF 'lore' show up in the MCU. I guess it all depends how the MCU introduces the FF (IE - Will they actually put their origin in the current time of the MCU or will they say (like they did with Ant Man) that they've been around in the MCU for awhile, dealing with other unseen (so far) threats and maybe the situation with Franklin Richards already happened in some for, and they'll tie in their version of Agatha Harkness to that...) We'll see.
But yeah, they did a marvelous job with this; and were I up more on the history of the near modern to modern comics era, I probably would have caught on sooner - but for me it was just right out of left field.
So yeah, I really wonder IF we'll actually see Doctor Strange make an actual appearance in the final WandaVision episode next week?
But yeah - LOVED what they've done with this whole thing to date.
