Unless Disney starts entering into temporary licensing agreements with studios/movies they will never own, these issues will no longer be issues in a few contract cycles. And even if you stream the most obscure thing imaginable like some random BBC show that lasted 2.5 episodes in 1973, it should be no skin off the original content owners nose to keep it on their streaming service, streaming services do not have the limits shelf space does; it should not matter how obscure/popular it is, and it would be a mistake to compare the most obscure content to the most popular content anyway. Infinity War is not ever going to be at risk, for example. With all of that said, sure I guess you are never going to have a physical copy of the movie on your shelf and you might never be able to stream Song of the South, but as I said before, the obscure should not be compared to the mainstream, and we don’t technically know that Disney won’t ever change their minds. But that’s the only real difference I’m seeing between the two in the long run. Again baring the scenario where we all end sending mankind back to the stone age, things will only get better.

Paragraphs man, please!

I think Fietro might still be an ordinary Westview citizen.

We still have another episode, this story isn't complete yet. Plus we also might not know until later. There is a chance you're correct. I don't think so, but I'm keeping my mind open.

It was never confirmed Wanda used a hex. That was only Agatha’s assumption.

That reminds me of another point, these streaming platforms have a product to sell, they’ll want to increase their customer base, not decrease it, when at all possible.

Well, thread has turned into a circus.

I can’t wait for the final episode so fan theories and hopes can be addressed. I loved that

[Show spoiler]Wanda’s first encounter with the Mind Stone started the path on her love for Vision.

Thank you for saying this.

I feel like a lot of people all over the internet are taking a lack of evidence to mean there’s no way he’s the Fox Quicksilver. Like just be patient and wait for answers, please.

I’m fine if he’s an ordinary person, but I’m not going to stop believing he might be from the Fox universe until the show gives us an actual answer who he is, and that’s sure to happen in episode 9.

No one's really talking about how this whole thing could have been Agatha manipulating her. She could have planted some memories in there (and explain any continuity issues people have)

And might have shown why

[Show spoiler]Vision came to love Wanda

I want a Disney+ series based on Agatha Harkness' time during the Salem Witch Trials.

I suppose that could be interesting. I found her more interesting as a quirky neighbor. Now we know she’s basically part of a female Palpatine coven who shoots colored light from their fingers and apparently can’t stop even when it kills them.

I was saying to myself from the moment she was confirmed to be Agatha at the end of Ep 7 that I really hope they give her a decent backstory and don't just make her a sudden foe to match Wanda's powers. I was delighted when we got something like 1600s Salem as a backstory for her. That whole sequence- and those damn freaky soul-sucked corpses- was awesomely dark and something I hope the MCU embraces in the future in stuff like Doctor Strange 2, etc.

They could've very easily just not done anything there, but honestly this show is just too smart and too well-crafted.

My wife, who will watch this stuff with me but isn't exactly 'enthralled' by genre filmmaking, really loved that sequence. We were discussing the possibilities of what they could do with her character set in that era, especially considering how awesome Kathryn Hahn has been in the role so far.

Hopefully she doesn't die in the finale. Would love to see her continue being a recurring character in the MCU for a bit going forward.

I truly hope she's not a one-and-done. We know Wanda's story will continue in Strange 2 next year and that Agatha more than likely either won't show up there or will have a small role next to the movie's big baddie (Mephisto still comes to mind honestly), but I hope we see her again.

The way they had her look at the end of this recent episode was so wicked (no pun intended). They really made her look like a villain and not just like Kathryn Hahn in a costume.

The combination of her practical costume and the particle effects were really cool.

She's honestly probably the coolest villain in the MCU since Loki. I mean that in the sense that even if you want to hate them, it's hard to. They're villains you enjoy watching based on both the performance and body language they use.

Again several people have. In the mutliverse there is no difference between the alt timelines created in Endgame and the Foxverse. One just happened to be way different than the other.

Nope.

Those branched realities of Endgame were fixed once Steve placed the Stones back where they rightfully belonged.

Even the one he changed by being with Peggy? Or the one where Loki escaped with the Tessaract? Or how about the one where Thanos doesn't exist in Guardians of the Galaxy due to him traveling to the future in Endgame? Everyone thinks everything was fixed, but we just don't know. So far we've only seen the main MCU timeline. As they say in WandaVision: Please Stand By.
