I originally didn't know who she was, so I searched her up and discovered that she was Madame Hydra in the comics.
Admittedly, I was a bit saddened because I'm a huge fan of Agents of SHIELD and I loved AIDA/Ophelia's version of Madame Hydra. However, this did take place in the Framework, so it's possible that Madame Hydra could reappear in the MCU in a different form.
Thoughts?
Is Agatha’s book the Darkhold because if it is it screws up Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, and Agents of Shield people keep saying it is which worries me about how canon those shows are so Um what is the book
Recently I commented on a thread about how Aida changing her name to Ophelia in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a reference to the Hamlet character of the same name, since both characters go crazy and lead to their own demise after they develop feelings. Although it was mentioned that that's just Madame Hydra's name in the comics, Aida didn't necessarily have to be Madame Hydra for the plot to happen, they just called her that as a shoutout.
This got me thinking; what other aspects of the MCU can be analyzed this way? What else in the MCU can be thought of the way we had to think of literary works in high school? The biggest one for me is pretty much all of Cloak & Dagger Season 2 just because of how abstract everything is, how much is left for interpretation, and how everything you see is a metaphor for something else that's happening. But what else?

"Do not call me that here. "A.I.D.A." is an acronym. The "A" stands for Artificial. Do you know how degrading it is? To be kept in a closet, to be used, to be treated as a thing? Well, I am not your tool. Not anymore."
