#mcu death

[velvet4510]

We all knew Rio was Nicky’s other parent but it’s glorious to see it firmly confirmed and so no hater is able to deny it anymore.

And now we can really bask in just how deep and unique the writing is for that final episode.

From conception, Nicky was half-life, half-death.

Death isn’t supposed to create life. It’s a total paradox that explains why Nicky was meant to be stillborn. How could the child of Death live? Agatha becoming pregnant must’ve turned Rio’s world upside down.

Also Rio doesn’t see death as a tragedy. How could she when it’s her job? When it’s the natural order of things? Before meeting Agatha, it never crossed her mind that death could be seen as bad.

But it’s when she fell for a living human, a mortal, that she finally saw what death means for humans. How much pain and fear and grief it brings.

And suddenly here’s Agatha pleading and pleading for her to NOT do her job, to NOT take their child with her. If she does this, she’ll break Agatha’s heart - the antithesis of her understanding of death. Rio suddenly comprehends that as long as Agatha lives on, there’s no way for the three of them to ever be together as a family. No wonder she chokes back tears.

As for Agatha, she only has the living person’s perspective. How could Rio want THEIR child to die? It’s the antithesis of parental instincts to want or allow your child to die. Death or no Death, surely Rio can see why this would be wrong?

Agatha and Rio are looking at the situation through totally different and incompatible lenses.

So out of love for Agatha alone, Rio lets Nicky’s “life” half take over not just for a few hours or days, but SIX WHOLE YEARS.

Then when Rio can’t stretch the rules any longer and she comes for him, Nicky knows her. He does not fear her, or where they are going. How can he, when she is his mother, when she needs him home?

Then Rio pays the price, as Agatha cuts ties with her and wants nothing to do with her anymore.

I also think this explains why Rio is so determined to kill Agatha herself or to let the Salem Seven do it, during the rest of the show. Again, as Death, she doesn’t see death as bad, or a harm, or a pain. If Agatha dies, then Rio can take her to Nicky and they can finally be a family. But Agatha doesn’t want them to be a family together. She still sees what happened as a loss and betrayal that Nicky would never forgive her for - the opposite of how Rio views it.

Ultimately, Agatha makes herself into a ghost who can’t cross over to where Nicky is, and Rio’s dream of her family being together is shattered.

Truly one of the greatest and most profound tragedies in television history, let alone MCU history.

I’m really emotional right now about the finale of Agatha and the only thing keeping me sane is the image of Tom Hiddleston running from Aubrey Plaza every time Loki was supposed to die

Jennifer Kale turned out NOT to be an agent of Mephisto.

In reality she was the most under developed character. Even her own episode/trial didn't do much to answer her history or flashbacks like all the other characters, even Alice who out of all of them got the cruddy end of the stick. (That's a post for another time).

Red’s Controversial Opinion

It was so much better than what I wanted!! We tied up all of the plot lines, except for Senior Scratchy!

FIRST OFF: PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER MUCH??? YAY BILLY! Thanks for getting my psych nerd to show up omg. #Anditwasalladream vibes

ALSO AGATHA’S ACHILLES BEING CUT IS EVERYTHING TO ME

Agatha is a ghost and will mentor Billy

Rio still loves Agatha and vice versa

Jen will go on to be the High Priestess and start New Salem

Lilia, Alice, and Sharon will be remembered.

We know that Agatha has always just been a pure villain, but she feels bad for traumatizing Nicky through her need for magick.

The Young Avengers set up!!! Ahhh!!!

The set up for Agatha to learn how to heal post-Nicky.

And overall, I am so damn happy! Also that kiss was so long omg my heart is happy too :)

Don't you recognize me, Lilia? Rio is... Death.

I could be way off here, but I feel like part of Agatha’s character arc might be to learn humbleness and accept that she cannot be the most powerful witch ever. She resents Wanda, and now Billy, because of their level of power. She sees it as completely unfair that Wanda’s son escaped death, when her own son did not. But the fact remains that Wanda and Billy are both long prophesized by Chthon. They are destined to be the greatest witches to ever live. Agatha needs to realize and accept that that isn’t her destiny, but that’s okay; she doesn’t need to have the most magic in the world in order to find some sort of internal peace and healing. Power or not, she is special in her own way. Out of all the witches in the world, Death gave her heart to her, Agatha, not the Scarlet Witch or Wiccan. That means a lot.

"This walk with another woman's son on a road that doesn't exist."

Are we really suprised that Rio crashed out at the end? Not only did Agatha reject her once again and say she never wanted to see her again. Rio was jealous as fuck about her care for Wanda's son when she's a single mom in the afterlife raising Nicky because Agatha's avoiding them both.

I NEVER thought I'd see this in the MCU...

They say what you do to someone is what happens to you in another reality~

What remains the same is the undeniable tension of different sorts between the two
