Warning! Occultic Marvel Show Promises It Gets ‘Gayer and Gayer’
By Movieguide® Contributor
New Marvel show AGATHA ALL ALONG will include heavy LGBT themes, with one cast member calling it the “gayest project Marvel has ever done.”
AGATHA ALL ALONG, a spin-off of the popular WANDAVISION, tells the story of witch Agatha Harkness, who “regains [her] freedom thanks to a teen’s help. Intrigued by his plea, she embarks on the Witches’ Road trials to reclaim her powers and discover the teen’s motivations,” per IMDb.
Aubrey Plaza, who plays “Green Witch” Rio Vidal, told Variety that the show gets “gayer and gayer” and promised viewers a “gay explosion by the end.”
Sasheer Zamata, who plays Jennifer Kale, agreed with an interviewer who noted the show has been described as “the gayest project Marvel has ever done.”
“I would agree with that,” she said, adding, “I think this show does a really good representation of different types of people, and that we can all use the power we have within, so like, go forth and be great.”
In addition to LGBT themes, AGATHA ALL ALONG will also promote dangerous occult concepts and witchcraft. Movieguide® previously reported:
The upcoming Disney+ show AGATHA ALL ALONG will promote dangerous occult themes, including witchcraft.
The show spotlights Agatha Harkness, a witch who was introduced to viewers in WANDAVISION. Kathryn Hahn is set to reprise her role as Agatha, with Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Joe Locke and Debra Jo Rupp rounding out the cast.
AGATHA ALL ALONG’s content reflects a dangerous growing interest in witchcraft and paganism among young people.
A study from the Barna Group found that “three-quarters of America’s youth (73%) have engaged in at least one type of psychic or witchcraft-related activity, beyond mere media exposure or horoscope usage.”
“The most common types of witchcraft behaviors were using a Ouija board and reading a book about witchcraft or Wicca, each of which had been done by more than one-third of teenagers,” the study continued. “More than one-quarter of teens have played a game featuring sorcery or witchcraft elements. One-tenth of teens had participated in a séance and 1 out of 12 had tried to cast a spell or mix a magic potion.”
Movieguide® has previously reported on the dangers of occult themes in children’s media, with research from Movieguide® Publisher and Founder Dr. Ted Baehr:
In Deut. 18:10-13, for example, Moses clearly says, “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God.” Also, in Rev. 21:8, Jesus Himself says, “The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Furthermore, in Galatians 5:19-21, the Apostle Paul says, “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God.”
All of these biblical passages – and more besides – show us, beyond all reasonable doubt, that God wants us to avoid completely witchcraft and sorcery.
