Broke: Disney+ cast Patti LuPone in the new Agatha Harkness series! Hurrah!

Woke: Every bland TV show that casts Patti LupPone is an amazing stage show Patti LuPone is missing from

Bespoke: Coven of Chaos, The Musical, directed by a director big enough to give the mouse the finger when it comes to plot decisions, starring Kathryn Hahn and Patti LuPone

#Disney+ is going to break from all the #DisneyGays simultaneously hitting “play” the second this drops.

Can’t wait for all the #drag tributes this will inevitably spawn at my #gayborhood bars because, come on, #CovenOfChaos just has to get at least one song-and-dance number now.

@darkmirror See, they're obviously working hard getting The Gays™️ on board, and I'm as excited about it for those reasons, but I try to manage expectations and remember it's a live action series by a conglomerate who favours shallow, sexless, risk-free content. At least 2 of these factors don't bode well with queerness.
So, my bet is that it's going to end up a bland people-pleaser, but wanna be wrong. Heck, WandaVision was a solid 8 and a rare Marvel I enjoyed.

Oh, I don’t expect Disney to ever be anything other than Disney, any more than I expect a long-form Ryan Murphy show to maintain a tight plot. I also anticipate that while a Marvel production may blend in other genres (Ant Man: heist movies; Captain America: war/espionage; Thor: 70’s SciFi/Fantasy) it will hit certain Superhero story beats with the predictability of a RomCom ending. I’m hoping for plenty of Camp, and will take anything more Queer as a bonus.
