(Spoiler alert: This story contains plot details from the 7th episode of “WandaVision.”)
At last, Wanda’s neighbor Agnes finally revealed what everyone has suspected from the start: She’s actually Agatha Harkness and, lo and behold, she’s also the force behind a lot of the more chaotic events affecting Wanda’s carefully curated sitcom reality.
But the reveal, right at the end of the 7th episode, “Breaking The Fourth Wall,” wasn’t just a standard villain speech. “WandaVision” treated viewers to a hilarious sitcom opening titles sequence complete with an extremely catchy, “The Munsters”-inspired theme song called “It Was…. All Along” that explained the whole thing and, like pretty much all of the original music the show has given us so far, was an utter delight.
And it’s even more delightful knowing that Kathryn Hahn was the one performing it.
Okay, it wasn’t all Kathryn Hahn.
