"They're more than I could've ever hoped for. She is my scar.” To which Agatha replies by stealing a glance at Rio and immediately saying she needs to go stretch her legs as an excuse to leave the conversation. One example is Agatha Harkness herself, who in Episode 4, almost nearly confirms is queer, most likely bisexual. Much has been said about the MCU's sexlessness of late, as it ditches even the slightest hints of romance (Pepper and Tony,Thor and Jane, and Peter and Gamora spring to mind) in favor of action-packed, save-the-world plots – and even then, the pairings rarely puckered up.
Rio is the only person Agatha lets her guard down in front of, not even Teen, whom she's grown significantly close to. While the premiere teased their romantic connection ("It's black, and it beats for you"), the fourth episode outright confirmed it, with upper thigh strokes, Rio telling the coven that she once betrayed a woman she loved, and the pair sharing an almost-kiss in private – and it's not something I ever expected to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
As a queer, longtime fan of the franchise, I'd kind of given up on the idea of it representing people like me beyond a throwaway line or moment, like Loki saying he likes a "bit of both" in his Disney Plus show, Nikki dating app-swiping on men and women in She-Hulk, and Phastos' blink-and-you'll-miss-him husband in Eternals.
When my five-star Agatha All Along review was posted on social media, it was met with countless comments suggesting that I was paid by Disney, that the show was terrible actually, and that it was deliberately, provocatively woke.
Earlier this week, Variety published a report that revealed certain studios are looking into bringing in 'superfan' focus groups to help them avoid sparking toxicity through some of their major franchises.
At the same time, Agatha would be furious at Rio for not breaking the rules and letting Nicholas live. 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 just by existing. I don't think I've ever known what it feels like to be respected and cherished as a queer person fan of a major series by showrunners AND actors… crying," said another.
"Marvel Studios, I'm sorry for [the] unsavory things I said about you in the past.
But if a system like that was introduced while it was being developed, might it have even been made at all?
"I'm so proud," Hahn recently told Entertainment Weekly when asked about the show's queerness. I feel honored. A few episodes later, "If I Can't Reach You, Let My Song Teach You," reunites the witches to make Alice Wu-Gulliver's test on the Witches' Road the most arousing one yet.

Agatha All Along wears its Wizard of Oz influence on its sleeve, but the new MCU series takes a new path on its version of The Yellow Brick Road.
There were only hints in the first couple of episodes that Agatha and Rio were lovers in the past. Even in Agatha's fantasy world of true crime, her and Rio are work adversaries with clear sexual tension -- a classic romance trope.
Even though the two literally tried to kill each other the last time they saw each other and Rio sent the Salem Seven after Agatha. But most other Marvel projects likely would have stopped there.
The first confirmed queer character in the MCU will forever technically be a Russo brother cameo in Avengers: Endgame because a scene confirming Valkyrie’s (Tessa Thompson) bisexuality was cut from Thor: Ragnarok.
Executive producer Brad Winderbaum noted that Agatha All Along has the best continuation rate of any Marvel series to date, which refers to the viewers who carried on watching the show after its opener. But Teen may also be the reason why there's a rift between Agatha and Rio in the first place.
One theory for Teen's true identity suggests that he's Agatha's son, Nicholas Scratch, whom she traded for the Darkhold.
Agatha's queerness has been widely speculated by fans since even before the series arrived. It's so normalized."
Finally, Episode 4 confirms the validity of these comments and that Agatha is queer. Elsewhere, my words have been published by the likes of Digital Spy, SciFiNow, PinkNews, FANDOM, Radio Times, and Total Film magazine.
The next time we see Rio, she crawls her way out of the ground and appears with the coven on the Witches’ Road, immediately conjuring a flower to coyly give to Agatha.
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) was confirmed as bisexual in season one of his show slightly before that, and Eternals featured the franchise’s first gay couple not long after, but queer representation is still not where it should be in a series with such a large volume of content. Rio soon follows, and the rest is history.
As Sasheer Zamata so eloquently put it in a recent interview with Variety, “Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons.
But she wasn't. Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons."
Joe Locke: "Teen is a queer guy on the show, but it's not the driving force, which I think is really great. It has ghosties and scary moments, sure, but The Haunting of Bly Manor is mostly focused on love and how, even if it's fleeting, it's worth the sorrow that comes with losing it.
