When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
I'm glad they kept these cameos out.
The story felt more self-contained and didn't need to remind us of every bit of the MCU.
I'd even argue that Debra Jo-Rupp was wasted as a coven member and a callback. They didn't do anything interesting with her as a character. But at least she was from Wandavision so it was less of a stretch to include her.
That really was one of the good things about Agatha All Along. All you really need to know is that we open with Agatha imprisoned in her own mind after trying to manipulate an extremely powerful witch who'd gone mad with grief. The rest is optional if you're willing to roll with a few otherwise weird ideas that arise out of the MCU-ness of the show.
I guess? I would really struggle to suggest watching Agatha All Along without first having seen WandaVision. Despite the different names it's really a season 1, season 2 situation.
I think you could survive without Multiverse of Madness since the first episode of Agatha clarifies that Wanda is dead, but WandaVision sets up so many things that are further explored in Agatha.
Debra Jo-Rupp really was underutilized.
Episode 8 spoilers
Her death, in hindsight once we know Billy created The Road, is huge for both Agatha and Billy.
Agatha gets to understand that Billy, intentionally or not, will kill people while on The Road. It's clearly unintentional since when Billy is looking for Tommy he asks if he's purposefully killing "new Tommy" or if "new Tommy" is already dead.
I think a moment where Billy reflects and really gets to understand that he killed Mrs. Heart/Sharon would have been helpful.
(Although maybe they can throw that into the future. Billy will be tasked by Agatha with needing to kill someone. Billy will be torn, stating that he's never killed anyone before. Agatha can just nonchalantly mention that he killed Mrs. Heart, causing Billy further distress. Although for that to happen Agatha has to remember her, so that's less likely.)
Totally agreed about Debra Jo-Rupp. I was pretty sure her death was a fake out and that we would be seeing her again.
I'm guessing not having Hulkling is to leave the "young green superhero" slot open for Skaar.
Also the person you date as a Teenager (full name) is rarely the person you ultimately end up with.
Also also, Billy is about to go on a HUGE adventure. Teasing Hulkling on the sideline with no intention of using them and just leaving them in the sideline would annoy fans and limit your ability to introduce Hulkling in a new way later on.
They’ve combined characters before. Maybe Skaar will become known as Hulkling and not be Teddy, but take on some of his personality traits?
I haven’t read much about either character in the comics so I dunno how well that would work out, but do we really need two more big green characters?
