DISCLAIMER: All of these were my own personal subjective interpretations, opinions, and experiences of the characters of Agatha and Loki. I do not meant for all of these to be objectively true.

Just watched Agatha All Along and the title says it all.
I'm glad to see that Agatha remains evil and wicked throughout the whole show, because that's what makes her HER. That's her personality and that's what makes her a beloved character of mine. Even though the show gives her the opportunities to change her values, she's still power hungry deep inside. And yes, she's somewhat of a "mentor" to Billy at the end but I believe she have some personal agendas. Her tragic past doesn't really change her to be a good person nor her realizations in the witches' road. She knows she killed people and she's doesn't care. She only cares about her son.
She's not S2 Loki where she completely becomes a hero. Idk if the show painted him to be the "hero" but to my own personal interpretation, he turned good and sacrificed himself for the greater good. I kinda lose interest in S2 Loki since there's no mischievousness to his character anymore (the reason I hardly love his character in the first place) unlike Agatha.
I'm all for redemption arcs. I love S1 Loki as an anti-hero because that suits him well. In S1, though he had some realizations that changed his character, he's still the same old Loki inside, with a bit of mischief and some wickedness. In Season 2 though, sacrificing himself for trillions of people is out of his character and makes him boring. And I understand that the existence itself is at stake but still.
I love my villains because they're bad and horrible people. Agatha's trauma doesn't transform her into a good person. Her love for her child doesn't makes her morally right.
She's cunning. She's manipulative. She's mischievous. She's evil. She gaslits and kill people. She's wicked. She's rude. And I love her villainy.
If you love Loki's complete transformation in S2, I'm happy for you, it's just wasn't for me and that's fine. #movies #video source
