[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 312031, member: 5079"] A lot sitcoms of the 2000s used the confessional, direct-to-camera style, but the main inspiration here is MODERN FAMILY. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1642680639730.png"]34350[/ATTACH] I was fond of her too, although I liked the eventual Photon name. For me, there's only one Captain Marvel -- the Big Red Cheese himself. I know all of the legal complications behind that name, and why it makes perfect sense for the name to be primarily associated with Marvel Comics, but I've never been wild about another character having that name -- not Monica and not Carol. (I didn't mind Mar-vell because of the variation in spelling and the character was dead before my entry into reading comics.) And few comics related things irk me more than DC eventually giving up and calling him Shazam! Poor guy can't even say his own name without turning back into a kid. If its any consolation -- or, possibly, bursting your sense of accomplishment -- it was widely assumed from the first episode that Agnes was Agatha. The main mystery there was if she was friend or foe and -- still unresolved -- if she's the Big Bad or a Little Bad. Normally such drastic changes to a character would annoy me but, for the most part, the MCU has been reasonably faithful in its interpretations that I'll give this one a pass. Wanda really doesn't have that many significant foes, so I can understand using Agatha. Quite reminiscent of the music from THE MUNSTERS theme song. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1642681154402.png"]34351[/ATTACH] Hard to peel back all the layers on the onion on this one. In non Wanda related scenes, Kathryn Hahn's performance isn't quite so OTT; so there's the feeling that Agatha was still playing or even mocking Wanda's comic reality. Even if her performance as a whole is broad, that's in keeping with villains in comic book films usually being performed in a florid manner. While I suspect unintentional, most of the immortal (or very long lived) characters we've been introduced to have been ... weird. Someone living for centuries probably would get awfully eccentric. In continuity, it was officially dropped in INFINITY WAR when Wanda was incognito. I hadn't noticed the lack of the accent in this scene, but I just went back to it. At best, I would say the accent started wobbly and disappeared. I also went back to the corresponding scene from CIVIL WAR. Strange thing is, her accent[I] there[/I] is mostly missing too, even though it's consistent and pronounced in the rest of the film. I can't think of any in continuity reason for this, so it just seems like a blunder; and so the scene in WV was also a blunder, or they chose to match the first error. Incidentally, I'm impressed that you didn't just blast through the final episode. [/QUOTE]
