WandaVision, Agatha All Along and VisionQuest: Disney's Unofficial Fantasy Trilogy Gets Even Better the Second Time Around
A family connects three shows
Marvel’s unofficial Scarlet Witch trilogy began with WandaVision, the first original Disney+ miniseries from Marvel, and expanded through Agatha All Along and the newly released VisionQuest. Each installment has its own identity while continuing the larger story.
The Maximoff family provides the connection: Wanda, her superpowered twins Billy and Tommy, and Vision, described as their father. Across the shows, family members confront grief, questions of identity, the search for power and the meaning of human connection.
Different genres, linked stories
The shows use distinct creative approaches. WandaVision looks at grief and love through the history of sitcoms, while Agatha All Along follows Agatha and her coven through dangerous magical trials on the Witches Road.
In VisionQuest, Vision and a group of friendly AIs communicate inside his retro, 1970s-inspired digital mind palace. The series places clues and narrative devices throughout the setting, giving episodes different ideas and details to discover.
A carefully built trilogy
The story develops as members of the Maximoff family try to reclaim a place in the world. Its shifts in genre and tone support the themes and character arcs, rather than simply repeating a standard superhero formula.
The piece describes the trilogy as unusually consistent and creatively ambitious within the MCU. It contrasts its cohesion with other Marvel trilogies, citing challenges in the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Ant-Man films, while noting that Spider-Man: Homecoming’s trilogy leaves Peter Parker without a solo spotlight.
