The subsequent time we see Rio, she crawls her means out of the bottom and seems with the coven on the Witches’ Road, instantly conjuring a flower to coyly give to Agatha. Even although the 2 actually tried to kill one another the final time they noticed one another and Rio sent the Salem Seven after Agatha. When the 2 share a semi-private dialog within the recording sales space Rio says that perhaps this journey could possibly be “like old times,” to which Agatha replies “work and play.”
As the coven shares tales of their scars, Rio says that “A long time ago, I loved someone, and I had to do something I did not want to do, even though it was my job, and it hurt them. She is my scar.” To which Agatha replies by stealing a look at Rio and instantly saying she must go stretch her legs as an excuse to go away the dialog. Rio quickly follows, and the remainder is historical past.
As Sasheer Zamata so eloquently put it in a current interview with Variety, “Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons. This show shows a really good representation of different types of people and that we can all use the power we have within to go forward and be great.”
Agatha All Along already had an inherent queerness to it simply by present. It’s a present about ladies solid out from society, attempting to reclaim their energy. Then they added the Teen (Joe Locke) who’s established as canonically homosexual within the second episode once we see his boyfriend name. But most different Marvel tasks possible would have stopped there.
The first confirmed queer character within the MCU will endlessly technically be a Russo brother cameo in Avengers: Endgame as a result of a scene confirming Valkyrie’s (Tessa Thompson) bisexuality was cut from Thor: Ragnarok. She lastly obtained her second in Thor: Love and Thunder, 18 Marvel tasks later. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) was confirmed as bisexual in season certainly one of his present barely earlier than that, and Eternals featured the franchise’s first homosexual couple not lengthy after, however queer illustration continues to be not the place it needs to be in a collection with such a big quantity of content material. We shouldn’t need to beg for crumbs as a way to see ourselves on display.
