Actress Aubrey Plaza is set to make her MCU debut with the upcoming seriesAgatha All Along, which recently held its premiere event. The series serves as a spin-off ofWandaVisionand follows Kathryn Han’s titular witch and her coven. It also reunites Plaza with Han following their stint on the sitcomParks and Recreation.
During the premiere event, the series was called the gayest Marvel show. However, Plaza’s response to this claim was overtly positive. As a result, some MCU fans are concerned about the show, especially sinceThe Acolyte, which held a similar standing in theStar Warsfanbase, turned out to be abysmal. Here is what fans are saying about Plaza’s comments.

The reporter described the series as the “gayest” Marvel project and asked Plaza to comment on the same. TheParks and Recreationactress took the comment as a compliment and admitted that she signed on to the show precisely for those reasons.
It better be, cause that’s what I signed up for.
Plaza made the above statement as she seemingly agreed with the notion thatAgatha All Alongis at least, on some level, pandering to a specific audience. As a result, the show’s quality has come under question, especially after the high-profile misfire that wasThe Acolyte.

TheStar Warsseries was also called the gayest in the franchise, and it inadvertently became a major talking point during its promotional campaign. Therefore, one of the lead stars ofAgatha All Alonghaving a similar take on the upcoming series does not bode well for its fate.

Like the titular character, fans took a slew of sarcastic swings at the upcoming series after Plaza’s comment hit social media. Many fans compared the series withThe Acolyte, which was heavily criticized for being unnecessarily woke andpandering to the LGBTQ+ audience.

Ultimately, Plaza’s comments do not inspire confidence in the series, especially since the show focuses on a supporting character from a different series. Hence, the entire existence of the show has also been questioned. As a result, the claims ofAgatha All Alongbeing on the same level asThe Acolytecertainly make us worried for its fate.
