Kathryn Hahn’s Amazing WandaVision Faces: A Celebration

Kathryn Hahn’s Amazing WandaVision Faces: A Celebration

There are a lot of things to love about Disney+ and Marvel’s WandaVision, but the top of the list has to be Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. The actor/national treasure has been stealing WandaVision’s shows-within-a-show long before last week’s not-so-secret reveal about who her character has been “all along.” Every time she’s on the screen, she’s a delight — so why not help yourself to a little more delight while we wait for the next episode?

Agnes, channeling boisterous sitcom neighbours of all time periods, barges into Wanda’s house to introduce herself.

Agnes (barely) helps Wanda prepare dinner for Vision and his boss. Note the pendant she has at the top of her collar…

…which becomes a brooch when the “show” moves to the ‘60s. Also, this lean.

Here’s a better look at it. If I’m not mistaken, someone on that thing appears to be holding a very large scythe which seems somewhat ominous, especially in retrospect.

Ep. 3, “Now in Colour

…and now it’s a necklace again. Unrelatedly, when I die, I would like this picture to be emblazoned on my tombstone.

Ep. 5, “On a Very Special Episode…

And we’re pendant-less from here. Since it’s been part of Agnes’ outfit in multiple episodes, there’s likely more going on with it than just the character’s personal affection for jewellery possibly depicting Death.

Ep. 7, “Breaking the Fourth Wall

Kathryn Hahn was made for staring down the barrel of a camera, which makes her the absolute queen of The Office-esque “episode” set in the ‘00s. This is Exhibit A.

Oh no! It turns out Agnes was really Agatha Harkness and is also very evil (which Hahn also emotes extremely well, as you can see). It is mildly annoying to me the character wasn’t just named Agatha in the first place, since no character in the show would have recognised the name. I know it was done to throw Marvel fans off the scent of who she was, but fans figured it out almost instantly anyway. Why bother? Maybe we’ll find out!

Heck, even if you have seen it you might want to be careful. If you don’t, a certain song is about to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.”]

Agatha prepares for her big scene with the Vision, where she pretends to be merely another person trapped in Wanda’s show.

Agatha grabs a ‘00s episode mockumentary-style interview with Wanda, completely disturbing her by asking a question. It really was jarring to hear part of the “crew” speak up because it’s just never done in those sorts of shows.

Yeah, I have her theme song stuck in my head now, too. Just go ahead and re-listen to it a few more times.
