* MagnificentBitch: [[Characters/MCUAgathaHarkness Agatha Harkness]] is a witch who desires [[Characters/MCUScarletWitch Wanda Maximoff]]'s Chaos Magic for her own purposes. Infiltrating Westview and Wanda's sitcom fantasies, Agatha plays the role of "[[NosyNeighbor Agnes]]", engineering scenarios such a dog dying or "[[Characters/MCUPietroMaximoff Pietro]]'s resurrection" to emotionally string Wanda and [[Characters/MCUVision Vision]] away from each other. Capturing Wanda in her basement, Agatha examines her past before attacking Wanda and her loved ones to absorb the Chaos Magic. In a last ditch effort, Agatha frees the people of Westview from Wanda's spell, guilt tripping Wanda into lowering the Hex and emotionally wrecking her into almost making a deal to allow her, Vision, and her twins to live in a more perfect fantasy to keep that latter three existing.

** In Episode 7 as the illusion of the Hex begins to bug out, the video game controllers that the twins are playing change from UsefulNotes/NintendoWii remotes to UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube controllers to UsefulNotes/Atari2600 joysticks. All three, even the 2600, featured [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Remote their own]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaveBird_Wireless_Controller cordless]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/b8/d0/6fb8d0a2c02a2a3ea29a6b3c7b081895.jpg controllers,]] although thanks to the rarity of the latter two, the props department chose to modify the normal controller to be cordless.

Added DiffLines:

* IKnewIt:
** Many fans correctly guessed that Creator/EvanPeters' character in the show would be Quicksilver recast, though maybe not the later twist.
** Since her first appearance and Kathryn Hahn's role in the show being announced, many fans guessed Wanda's gal pal, Agnes, was really the Marvel comic witch, Agatha Harkness, in disguise, which was confirmed at the end of Episode 7.
** As soon as it was confirmed that the Hex was rewriting Monica's DNA, many fans guessed a repeat visit would give her her powers from the comics. Sure enough, after breaching the Hex again in Episode 7, she gets powers.
** After the white Vision was revealed, many had a feeling there would be some type of FusionDance between him and the Hex-Vision to bring him back to life. While not completely a fusion, the Hex-Vision unlocks White Vision’s memories of his original life through a ShipOfTheseus discussion. Though it still remains to be seen if this "resurrected" Vision yet.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: While Agatha is generally well-regarded in the fandom, there are [[https://medium.com/cinemania/agatha-ruined-wandavision-cd69c1bdaa57 a number]] [[https://gamerant.com/wandavision-episode-7-ruined-best-element/ of people]] [[https://mashable.com/article/wandavision-agatha-fix-it who feel]] that her introduction as a villain ultimately hurts the story; up until her reveal, ''[=WandaVision=]'' revolved around a concept a lot of MCU films (and superhero films in general) tend to gloss over -- [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the]] realistic [[RealismInducedHorror outcome]] of a superpowered being struggling with [[TraumaCongaLine a lifetime of trauma]] -- and with Wanda's role as both the hero ''and'' the villain, many were interested in how Wanda would end the series. After Agatha is revealed with her somewhat generic motive to gain more power, Wanda now has a physical villain to fight which changes her motivation from internal to external, which in turn makes both Wanda's arc and the ending of the series much more predictable.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Absolutely no one believed that Billy and Tommy would be gone for good once Wanda took down the Hex, considering that the two are popular characters in the comics (especially Billy). Sure enough, the second post-credits scene of the final episode showed Wanda hearing their cries for help while studying her magic, indicating that the two will make a re-appearance at some point.

** A number of fans disappointed with Evan Peters' character (Fake Pietro) being revealed to be Ralph Bohner, [[TheGhost Agnes'/Agatha's much mentioned but never seen husband]], flooded the internet with more "acceptable" explanations. The two most prominent on ''Reddit'' is that he's either Jimmy Woo's missing federal witness mentioned in Episode 4, or the ''X-Men'' Pietro who was '''somehow''' transported to the [=MCU=] and was hiding in Westview by sheer coincidence.
** With a sequel to ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' and [[Series/SecretInvasion2023 a Disney+-series based on]] ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' already announced at the time, a bunch of fans speculated that Hayward would be revealed to be a [[{{Shapeshifting}} Skrull]] to set things up. While nothing in these regards is revealed (at least in the series itself), a Skrull ''does'' appear in the series finale.
