Autrice di Agatha All Along, Jac Schaeffer ha una solida carriera alle prese con le eroine del MCU. L'abbiamo intervistata in occasione dell'uscita della serie con Kathryn Hahn, disponibile su Disney+ ogni giovedì con un nuovo episodio.

00:00Hi, hi Jack, and thank you for the show. I watched the first four episodes and I want more. I want more now.
00:09So, watching the beginning of the show, I thought that Marvel had never done something like this.
00:18So, do you think it's a risky show for the public? The fans are ready for the songs and the madness.
00:25Is it a risky show? I mean, maybe in that it's not super standard superhero fare, but I think Marvel's taken a lot of risks over their many, many, many years of work, so I don't think it's too risky.
00:45But I do, it is my hope that the fans will show up. I mean, it seems like there is enthusiasm and, I mean, I'll show up for anything with these actors in it.
00:57If you had to choose one single characteristic of Agatha all along that makes this show unique, what would it be for you?
01:07I mean, I guess I would say the tone. I think, you know, something that I found particularly gratifying as an artist on WandaVision was the sort of high wire act of the tone.
01:19That it was a comedy and a drama and an action limited series and also it was, it was actually literally a sitcom and also a Marvel property, all those things all at once.
01:33And I, and I endeavored with my colleagues to, to do that again. The show is different from WandaVision, but, but once again, we were trying to, you know, have it be a comedy, but it is a horror this time.
01:48And, and like WandaVision, there is a very authentic emotional journey and the show goes to places that, that are heart rending. So, so yeah, I think I would say tone.
01:59And today there are a lot of female characters in the world of cinecomic movies and series, and there has always been a lot of discussion about the need to make the, to make this character important and meaningful.
02:16But I think that Marvel, from the beginning with a character like Pepper Potts or Agent Carter, um, has always wrote, uh, women in a very modern way.
02:29I think that, uh, Agent Carter is the ultimate feminist. So, um, what do you think about that?
02:34I love Agent Carter. I think she's terrific. Um, I also think there's a, there is a, the comics have so many terrific female characters, you know, um, you know, for every kind of ridiculous suit that is not okay.
02:49There, there are characters doing exciting and interesting things and, and characters that are fully realized. Um, so I think it, to me, it's more about, um, the, the centering of, of characters, giving them their own storylines and their own, their own arcs and their own properties.
03:07And I think that, that was a shift, um, in a larger way, um, at Marvel, you know, starting with, you know, Black Widow and Captain Marvel and sort of that era.
03:19I think you can sort of like see that, that shift a bit there. Um, but I agree with you. I think that Marvel has always, um, worked to, um, has, has always worked toward representation and it's just a continued journey.
03:33By the way, thank you for a Black Widow movie. I loved it.
03:36Oh, so glad.
03:36And then just one quick question. What do you think, uh, makes, uh, Agatha, Agatha Harkness, uh, worth to be tell?
03:45So I, um, I, I'm really sort of enamored by the fact that she is like unapologetically after power and, and I can't actually think of another female character in the MCU who operates that way, that that's like their true north.
04:03And I've, you know, I've written for a lot of these other women and I, and they each have their own distinct relationship with power and they, some feel conflicted about it.
04:11Some are unfamiliar with it. Some are learning to harness it, but Agatha is just all about it. And, and I think that that is, is interesting and different and provocative and worthwhile.
04:23And it's something that I, it's, it's, it's sort of like a piece of myself that, that the show kind of helps me tap into.
04:31Thank you very much. And congratulations for the show.
