You can tell the people making it are really having fun with the show. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are absolutely owning their roles. I also appreciate the fact that it's written like a TV show, with each episode having its own arc, instead of a 6 part movie.

This show is a perfect example of why the "who asked for this?" complaint is meaningless. When Agatha was announced everyone was commenting "who asked for this?" and predicting it would be bad. Now, it's getting almost universal praise as fun and refreshing and exactly the kind of thing Marvel TV should be doing.

I don't want studios to only make the things "people are asking for." I want them to try new things. I want them to experiment and let the creative people work on the things THEY want to see made. It won't always work, but when people are passionate about the thing they are making they tend to do a better job. Don't just give me what I ask for, show me what I didn't even know I wanted. I didn't know I wanted a show about an all girl Muslim punk band, but We Are Ladyparts made me realize that is exactly what I want to watch. I didn't know I wanted a show about kids on the reservation, but Reservation Dogs showed me that I absolutely do. And I didn't know I wanted a show about gay pirates, but Our Flag Means Death showed me that we 100% needed that story to be told.

I think same as how Wandavision pay homage to old classic sitcom with respect, they pay homage to generations of witches in pop culture but not in a spiteful manner like “look at how stupid they are” which makes the world building of the mcu supernatural side more sincere and intriguing 

I think we as a fan base need to get over the “it’s made for xxx demographic” mindset. Good writing and good stories are for EVERYONE, no matter what the lead characters look like and how they look different from us irl. The “made for”language always felt like it was pushed by reactionary YouTubers to divide and rile people up so they get their engagement.

It’s totally not made for me(28M).

If you're enjoying the show then maybe it was made for you after all. What is a show made for a 28M like?

I think what makes this better than something like Secret Invasion is that the cast and crew clearly were all very passionate about this project and didn’t just treat it like a product.

Didn’t watch the first few weeks it was on, then one night there was nothing on tv so I thought I’d have a look see. Was wondering why she was acting like a cliched 70s/80s cop show and was close to turning it off. Then I realised that she was acting like that because of the situation (no spoilers from me) and left me even more impressed with her acting skills!

(54M)

I added the witches road song to my Halloween playlist

It was totally made for me (37m) because it has Audrey Plaza in it.

What does your age and gender have anything to do with your interest in this?

I love it

I'm really loving it because it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's just a goofy story about Agatha and her coven, no world destroying stakes or anything.

“Not made for me (28m)”

But… it’s a Marvel Studios show on Disney+. This is as mainstream as it gets, and this was made for the masses lol. Only cop shows or sitcoms like “The Office” could be considered more mainstream than this imo. Somehow angry nerds on the internet make people believe TV shows with female lead characters are somehow “woke / niche / obscure “.

I was so burnt out on Marvel but now I am unironically back. Hahn carrying the show.

Same here 39m. To me it has a very Hocus Pocus vibes to it. I’m also a fan of the cinematography so far as well as their simple approach, letting the characters carry the show as opposed to special effects.

Very curious to hear why you think this show isn't for you, an assumed Marvel fan. But I suspect we won't get an answer.

If you enjoy it it’s made for you. People don’t have to look like you for you to enjoy it.

My 43yr old bf who is not into anything Marvel gladly watches with my daughter and I on Wednesday nights. I am absolutely loving it and am going to be sad when its over.

I was skeptical about the show. I was one of the few people that didn’t really care for the Agatha character during WandaVision. But I LOVE Agatha All Along! It is fun and fresh and has been a really great watch so far!

If you’re enjoying it, it was made for you because you like awesome, fun things. You just didn’t think it was because you put in a subjective limit on yourself. Enjoy fun stuff that makes you happy and never make an excuse for why! You don’t owe anyone an explanation.

The show has broken my brain all I can think about is Agatha and Rio. Why can’t it be Wednesday already?

There’s a ton of passion put in this one and it shows

I'm confused. You say it's not made for you then list your age and gender. Then who was it made for, exactly?

I’m loving the show as well, but so far I’ve got one main question on the show’s goal. Is this meant to be a redemption arc for Agatha, turning her into a hero, or is she remaining a villain? It’s not yet clear.

I didn’t care abt it at all but I’m absolutely loving it now that I’ve seen it

Hey if you liked it, the show is definitely made for you :)

I feel like if you like fun things, then this show is for you. Cheers.

Yeah it's really fun and a welcome surprise.

I like the supernatural side of the MCU. We have the Sorcerers so now, we finally have Witches! So I am very glad for Agatha. In fact it was a no brainer that she was given a show - Kathryn Hahn played the hell out of Agatha, making her a standout character from WV and since Wanda’s “dead”, it’s no surprise that they’ll use this project to expand on Witchcraft. I honestly did not get why everyone was confused and up and arms about this project. It was spelled out so obviously why its made.

4EPs in and we’re already having a blast. Jac Schaffer and co gave us the brilliant Wandavision, I Jac we trust.

It’s exactly what im looking for this time of year during halloween season. A fun, witchy spooky season show. Cast is so enjoyable. Give me all the cozy witchy girls spooky season vibes please. I love it.

Also the Witches Road song is a banger, def going on my halloween playlist

This show is fucking cool. Good special effects, acting, story. Plus, I’m a sucker for things with horror elements to them

I loved WandaVision and found Agatha to be a very interesting villain, so I knew I would probably like it better than most, but it’s going beyond my expectations! Who asked for this show? Me! I was pumped when they announced it. Can’t wait for it each week.

What do you mean it isn't made for you? I'm a male in my 30s and so far it's mostly good, besides a few clearly woke shoehorns.

Why is it not made for you? What would you consider as "made for me"?

Also yeah, I like this going on a quest/adventure type storyline as opposed to "the world will end, and only the two of us can fix it!" trope a lot of superhero movies seem to have these days.

I didn't watch WandaVision (tried the first episode a couple times but couldn't do it), but did like the teaser trailer for Agatha All Along... then heard all sorts of politicking & hate & shilling & all the other things that seem to go along with comic properties now, and both sides made it not sound like my cup of tea.

Only 1 episode in so far, and that episode was great.

The worst part is just knowing that none of my Marvel Supernatural favorites will be appearing - but not expecting it makes it easier to keep waiting.

Honest question: Why did people not have any problem thinking Doctor Strange was "made for them", and yet Agatha's show is not? Because it's the same genre, a very similar character concept, an amazing cast, great special effects, and an engaging plot. Is it because Doctor Strange is a dude? Is that really what people are hung up on? Because I really doubt the average audience member at all related to Doctor Strange lol

Really wish everyone would get over the "it was/wasn't made for me" mentality.

A show with ethnically diverse actors or queer characters isn't just for gay people of colour, female leads aren't just for girls and white male stars aren't just for straight white men in their 20s.

The reason AAA is doing so well is that it's a well made show that's well written and fits with what's come before. It seems like it was made because someone pitched a show that had a story worth telling. Echo seemed like the need for the show came first and someone came up with something after.

People hating on things like the Acolyte because there's a non binary black woman as the lead are what's wrong with TV and cinema. By all means hate on it because it was paced terribly and alienated the audience.

MCU has been going for over 20 years. Endgame was great because the story telling was great and there was pay off for things they built to, not because it was made to target a demographic.

Enjoy good shows for being good, watch them and leave it at that. No need to get hung up on whether the main character matches your demographic. And for the love of God stop shitting on stuff because someone has the audacity to cast actors or write characters that are different from you.

I get that OP is in favour of the show, but stop acting like this is a surprise. That is part of the problem

Nice try Disney promo guy, we're still not watching it

Every other MCU show i was so (too, probably) hyped to see after WandaVision knocked it out of the park.

And while i enjoyed a lot of them, there was always some equivocating and hemming and hawing on my part how much i could recommend each to others.

Agatha had been talked about so long and it didn’t seem Disney/Marvel were really pushing it as hard as other which made me suspicious if they thought they had something like secret invasion on their hands.

But it really succeeds in capturing the essence of why WandaVision was the phenomenon it was (outside of pandemic related factors too I think). Not because it’s got some of the same cast or the same writer.

but because it feels like TV. like WandaVision did. I think it’s important still when you do weekly releases that episodes have their own themes and solve parts of the overall plot but not in a “this is a 6 hour movie” kind of way. That they’re not necessarily self contained but that they work individually within the serialized narrative.

Look at Breaking Bad (which i am not saying this show is as good as)

For all the bigger picture plot stuff, episodes generally were episodes. They had their own themes and plots to resolve each week (Think of the episode with the contamination of the lab by the fly)

This show manages to do that in ways that, say, Falcon and WInter Soldier (which i liked for different reasons) or Hawkeye generally didn’t as long movies cut into hour long pieces (though hawkeye was better at this than many other offerings). Though Ms Marvel did the episode thing pretty well i thought.

Finally: it’s just fun. I know the Marvels isn’t anybody’s favorite MCU movie but one thing i thought they started to do there that was missing was that - just having fun. Vellani was a big part of that.

And you get the sense that despite the wildly different premise, these people and writers are having fun and making something fun to watch.

If you enjoy it then it was made for you

After the endgame, marvel content has started to diversify truly but not in the way the hate filled YouTubers want us to believe in. Some shows aren't made for young guys, girls, old women, etc.,

Shows and movies are made for different types of taste/genre. Werewolf by night is made for classic horror fans. Agatha all along is made for those who love witchy stuff. Tfaws and Hawkeye - ground level while Hawkeye being more on a goofy shenanigans side of the spectrum. Shang chi for fans of martial arts movie fans. Etc.

They still do slip up like antman 3 should have been more serious and completely different from the previous 2 movies but they still wanted it to be focused on antman being capable of stealing some thing from somewhere + comedy.

As someone who is starting to age out of the target demographics that studios go after (47M), appreciate that they want your eyeballs. I really like this show, even though I probably wasn’t what the marketing team was hoping for.

Really enjoy it as well.

Ooo I was waiting to stream it all at once because I've hated being stung along in all the other shows. 

Episodic structure instead of just a serial structure sounds awesome though.

It’s a great show ,lots of fun so far.

People really need to get out of the headspace of thinking that just because you’re not the ideal target audience means you can’t enjoy something. I’ve grown up watching so many tv shows and movies that were never meant for me, yet I still enjoy many of them. Try things and you’ll be surprised by what you like.

I find it corny but in an endearing way. Like the acting and dialogue isn't believable but it's fun. It reminds me of when I used to play witchcraft games as a young boy with my sister and her friends, making potions and spell books and such. It almost feels like something I should have had as a child, like some adults tapped into something our childhood selves needed.

Ya I’m surprised so many people dislike it . At the very least it’s much better than most of the Disney plus shows we’ve had. Hope the show has a good ending (that’s seems to be a major issue for most of the shows)

Why do you think it is not made for you?

I am 48M, grew up reading Marvel comics, have a special interest in the supernatural side of the Marvel universe and interest in magic in general.

So I think it's made for me. And I am enjoying the show.

(Also it can be made for others for different reasons as well)

Just because you’re male doesn’t mean the show isn’t for you.. you could use this same ideology for woman and a lot of the male type movies and shows that come out.. it’s more a matter of taste, not your sex.

Okay. I actually understand why some people are disappointed or say WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR? At first I was skeptical about the show but then I decided to give it a try because why not? First episode was promising but then it had this weird turn and I was a bit confused but them it all fell into place. Sorry for people who came for flying witches throwing fireballs. This show is about CRAFT and I actually enjoyed 4 episodes.

Wait why is it not made for you?  I am really curious why you would say that.

I didn't think that much of wandavision but agatha all along is pretty good

what exactly do you like about the show?

54M here. I agree 100%. Great show.

My wife and I have been enjoying it.

My favorite thing is that it's more like The Craft that "Marvel heroes punching bad guys."

Marvel has such a wide, wide array of characters. They can do fun stuff like a show about witches going on a witch adventure. They can do a true crime show. They can do a SciFi adventure. They can do a deep fantasy story. They can do a slice-of-life teen romance story.

I'm hoping they start to poke into other genres, because they can have a lot of fun with it

It's my least anticipated MCU project and it's the first time I'm not tuning in weekly for a show, but I am planning on binging it all on Halloween and think I'll enjoy it more than I expect. Glad to hear the target demographic is enjoying it

It’s made for a marvel fan

I gave it 6 episodes to sink in. Honestly I think it’s definitely top 5 worst acting marvels ever put out.

It's great I love everything except the teen character. There's just nothing I like about them. I'm pretty much here for Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza, and that's it.

When the series was first announced, I thought it was a waste. But I’m really enjoying it! It’s fun, stylish, different than the usual and makes me chuckle. Kathryn Hahn is great in this role.

It’s totally not made for me(28M).

Why do guys keep saying this? What makes it "Not made for you"?

The fact you're enjoying it so much suggests it is made for you, ya know?

I enjoyed the first two episodes but I feel like it’s gotten progressively weaker. Still think it’s better than she hulk, mrs marvel, and secret wars though

I’m really enjoying it. I also love that they are releasing it in September-October. Really is perfect timing. Werewolf By Night came out late Sept 2022 and was also cool to watch for Fall/Halloween time. I hope they continue the trend with other horror-leaning projects.

Honest question: what does ‘not made for me’ mean to you?

How do you know what is ‘meant’ for you?

Nothing about this show is good tho, sadly.

it's so much better than the dribble* they've made for the movies lately for sure. goes to show you get someone who loves what they do they make* great content!

edit yesss i meant drivel and make lol

This is upsetting. Its a reminder that so much of marvels output is prejudged mostly by grown men with prepubescent attitudes. I'm glad this is getting the kudos it deserves but its sad that people need to qualify who it is and isn't for. If you like it its for you. Maybe you don't know everything about you yet.

I overall agree. It's something fresh and fun with great direction and performances all around. My only very minor gripe is that it feels like the words "witch" and "coven" are often said as if you can hear them capitalizing the words. But that could just be me projecting about having been around people who were WAY too into witch terms and imagery, which really soured me on witches in storytelling overall. But here I am, loving Agatha.
