"And I Killed Sparky too." I love that they were aware that Agnes being Agatha would be all too obvious, so they simply played it up, and made a catchy song out of it.

The Good Place reveal was EPIC! I also loved the villian reveal in the first season of 24

Like, I can't wait for the "Agatha All Along" series. Until WandaVision arrived I was obsessed with Deadpool, Iron Man and Wanda, but Kathryn Hahn gave us Agatha Harkness in an extraordinary way (and the character who wasn't very popular in the comics) and thanks to her I've been looking for her merchandising and all comics/books that mention her.
Agatha's power is enormous, but Kathryn Hahn's is even greater (she should have won the Emmy she was nominated for).

When you think back to "The Good Place" you realize the signs were there all along, and them being in the Bad Place isn't that much of a surprise.

Agents of SHIELD is incredibly overlooked in the Marvel shows, so I am so glad the Ward reveal still makes this list and on the higher side!! The reveal is SO good and extremely unexpected, but the signs were there all along. And he was very compelling in the second season as a villain, and even in the third season as Hive. Kudos all around to the AOS writers for that one! And to the character development as well.

Who's been messing up everything?
It's been Agatha all along
Who's been pulling every evil string?
It's been Agatha all along

She's insidious (ha-ha!)
So perfidious
That you haven't even noticed
And the pity is (the pity is)
Pity, pity, pity, pity

It's too late to fix anything
Now that everything has gone wrong
Thanks to Agatha (ha!)
Naughty Agatha
It's been Agatha all along!

Ruby in Supernatural should have been no.1... That scene was AMAZING.

[michaelgualtieri]

Honorable mention? Gus from Breaking Bad. When we first saw him in the episode, we just assumed he was the friendly, nice owner of a chicken restaurant. In reality, he was one of the most deadly kingpins in the southwest of the US/Mexican border.

Number 1 and 2 are ICONIC. "This is the bad place" coupled with Ted Danson's wicked grin and laugh is just so good. And Katherine Hahn ATE and left no crumbs in her run as Agatha. Quirky nosy neighbor to absolutely chewing the scenery and battling it out with Wanda just...yes. I cannot wait for her spin off show.

Adrian Chase/Prometheus Arrow (2012-2020) I Can forgive CW for giving Prometheus the wrong secret Identity but making Vigilante a different dude and killing him off was too much James Gunn give us a comics accurate Green Arrow adaptation please for the love of humanity !!!

[cameronmonaghan]

There's plenty of reveals in the Doctor Who universe that should've made the list.

Professor Yana/ The Master
Clara Oswald/ Bonnie
Mr Smith/ The Xylok
Lindy Pepper Bean
Eckersly

The Arrowverse had a few:

Jay/Hunter Zolomon in Flash
Wells/Thawne in Flash

Time Masters in Legends of Tomorrow

Milton Fine in Smallville

Also, on CW terms: Ruby in Supernatural

Also, Grant Ward in Agents of SHIELD - including when he became Hive

[rebeccamcdermott]

I would include Jay Garrick in The Flash. Finding out he wasn't who the team thought he was was a massive shocker especially after what happened in the previous season with Wells turning out to be Reverse Flash.

Some people think discipline holds them back. Successful people know discipline is what sets them free.

[samuelcollantes]

Agatha Harkness. Happy tuesday morning, Sophia, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[KezyBugg]

I’d have given #1 to the Master from any of these Doctor Who episodes: Utopia, Dark Water, World Enough And Time or Spyfall.

[marlowemichaelson]

I know it's not live action but the reveal of Selim Bradley in FMA Brotherhood was INCREDIBLE!!

[nicholashopper]

Greer Revealing Himself About Creating Vigilance, Setting Peter Collier Up, Killing Him, Activating A Second Machine Named Samaritan Was The Biggest Gut-Punch Any Episode Has Ever Done On Person Of Interest. It Should've Been On The List So Why Is This CBS Show Underrated? I Need To Know Something?

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

I liked _WandaVision, _ just not Episode 5 or Agatha’s revelatory song. Call me wacky, but that song is too corny for me.

[davidreed]

The grant ward reveal was shocking. I didn’t see it coming.
