As a seasoned film critic with a penchant for all things Marvel and a soft spot for anything witchy, I must say that “Agatha All Along” has truly cast a spell on me. The show’s intricate blend of horror tropes and prestige television has left me captivated, not to mention the endless theories it has sparked.
Potential spoilers for Agatha All Along.
Autumn brings a slight chill, the aroma of pumpkin spice, and a fresh supernatural series to delve into. In the tradition of its predecessor WandaVision, Agatha All Along blends elements of horror films and high-end television, sparking numerous theories. The most intriguing question: who is Joe Locke’s “Teen,” a devoted fan with the power to free Agatha from her trance in Westview? Three episodes deep, and “Teen” remains an enigma, with the major revelation so far being he possesses a symbol, a concealment charm that masks his identity from all magical beings. (Imagine if Kevin Feige could apply one to Tom Holland during MCU press.) However, Agatha All Along has dropped hints about the true identity of “Teen,” so we’ll be exploring those and our theories as well.
Billy Kaplan/Maximoff
As a die-hard movie fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the buzzing theory surrounding “Teen” being none other than Wanda Maximoff’s son, Billy. In the mind-bending series, WandaVision, we witness Wanda, in her reality-altering abilities, giving birth to a set of twins, one of whom is Billy. Towards the end of WandaVision, when she releases Westview from her powers, she also lets go of Vision, Billy, and Tommy – characters who could only exist while Westview was under her control. Interestingly, in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we catch a glimpse of Billy (portrayed by Julian Hilliard), who appears to be very much real in one universe, suggesting he might not have been just a figment of Wanda’s imagination within Westview. Although it’s intricate and complex, it seems that Wanda decides against pulling Billy and Tommy from the multiverse they currently inhabit, leaving their presence in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline uncertain for now.
Through the rich history of comics, there’s a historical basis for their recurrence. In the “Vision and Scarlet Witch” comic series, it is disclosed that Wanda and Vision’s sons, Thomas and William, were fragments of Marvel’s depiction of the devil, Mephisto. Agatha, in an attempt to avoid traumatic consequences for Wanda, removes her memories about the loss of her children due to their disappearance. This comic book lore is full of strange, almost surreal elements, with a hint of misogyny interwoven. However, in Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung’s “Young Avengers” comics, we find Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) and Tommy Shepherd (Speed), who are later revealed in 2010’s “The Children’s Crusade” to be the reincarnations of Wanda’s original children.
In summary, there are several pieces of evidence suggesting that the character “Teen” in WandaVision could indeed be Billy Kaplan (Wiccan). Firstly, Agatha’s need to conceal his identity is intriguing. Secondly, Teen’s powerful magic, capable of freeing Agatha from Wanda’s spell, mirrors Billy’s abilities in the comics. Thirdly, Teen’s romantic interest, or “boyf,” as yet unnamed, echoes Billy’s relationship with Teddy (Hulkling) in the Young Avengers comic series. Given the MCU’s limited representation of queer characters, this connection feels significant. Lastly, Marvel’s promotional materials, such as a poster and a teaser, hint at Teen being Billy. If this theory proves correct, the exciting part will be how Agatha reveals his true identity in the series.
Nicholas Scratch
Wanda plays a significant role in this series, but it’s Agatha who is named in the title. The character referred to as “Teen” could be an intriguing twist for Agatha’s evil witch persona, or simply a misdirection. This is the first time we encounter “Teen” in the MCU, although you might recall Scratchy, Agatha’s bunny from WandaVision, who was likely named after her son and shared affection with Agatha and “Teen” in the initial two episodes of Agatha. However, episode three deluges us with information about Scratch, as Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata) tells “Teen” that Agatha gave up her son for the Book of the Damned and wouldn’t recognize him if he appeared at her doorstep. (It seems a bit far-fetched.) Kale continues by stating “no one knows what happened to him,” suggesting that he could be deceased, a demon, or perhaps an agent of Mephisto. In the comics, Scratch seeks revenge on his mother Agatha and even summons the Salem’s Seven against her – the same spectral group tormenting Agatha in this show. Interestingly, Scratch later becomes an agent of Mephisto, which aligns rather conveniently with our current narrative. This raises a suspicion that everything is too perfectly connected. Which brings me to…
Theory 3: We Get Ralph Bohner’d, Again.
Look, I’m not saying it will happen, but when Evan Peters (who played Quicksilver in the 20th Century Fox X-Men movies) showed up in WandaVision as an in-show and in-universe recast of Aaron Taylor Johnson’s Pietro, the MCU’s version of Quicksilver (yes, it’s the same character), all kinds of theories about the possibility of X-Men entering the MCU as a post-Fox/Disney merger project exploded across the internet. In the end all that theorizing was moot, and Peters was just a guy named Ralph Bohner. I doubt the mystery of “Teen” will result in another dick-joke reveal, but I’m still gonna cover my bases.
