I wonder what's next? They're sticking to family/comedy shows so unlikely to see a Breaking Bad (although that WOULD fit the theme of what's happening) intro or a West Wing one.

Given it's Disney they could get away with doing a direct Simpsons copy but it wouldn't match the tone of the next show. So far they've been good at using the right show format for the direction of the episode.

Well, it’s been progressing through the decades, so it should be a 2010s show next...

Incidentally ... 'Agatha All Along' is riffing on The Munsters.

I wonder if, given the darkening tone, they will move away from the family fun intros and into more sinister show openings? They like to play with the meta, self-awareness, of the whole thing as well so maybe an iconic streaming show like House of Cards.

I think now that we've had the Agnes reveal that the show might step away from the TV show themes.

We stepped away from seeing everything exclusively from the sitcom viewpoint at the end of episode 3, but everything that happens in Westview is still governed by it and whenever we see life in the town it’s always seen that way. We were in 4K super-widescreen in Agatha’s lair at the end of episode 7 but when they go back up into the town there’s still going to be a lot of trapped townspeople under mind control. The question now is exactly who’s control they’re under and whether Wanda is now going to fall fully victim to it.

I think if this becomes a struggle for control of Westview, there’s a good chance the next episode is going to start with a new version of Agatha’s theme, styled on a 2010s era crime or horror thriller (although bear in mind the show is rated for family audiences so they’re not going to lean in too hard on any 15- or 18-rated references).

An X-Files intro would work.

Also, everything else that went on this week seems to have led us to completely overlook Monica Rambeau's origin story as a superhero. Her comic book counterpart has had a lot of different names but given her mother's nickname in the MCU my money would be on her becoming Photon.

Also, Re: the closing credits always zooming through an RGB pixellated view of Vision's eye - last night we zoomed through Wanda's eye ... :spin:

All getting very interesting.


Please stop using spoilers all over the place, its incredibly irritating to try and read.


If people dont want to be "spoiled" then dont read the topic until you have watched the episode(s).

Loved the "superhero landing’... :D

There was a classic “super hero” landing, as exposed by Deadpool.

Comedy/Family shows but they could pivot now?

X-Files wouldn't match the era but I think they could get away with it because they're composite opening anyways so a hybrid of X-Files/Breaking Bad e.t.c could work.
