Fleshed out characters that otherwise would not be getting enough screentime in the movies. I'm all for more depth in a shared universe.
First end credit setting up Captain Marvel 2, the most poorly conceived character in the MCU. Whatever.
Second end credit was kind of unnecessary simply because the existence of pretend Wanda making tea when no one around is confusing. It seemed almost like a lead to a second season, but we all know these little series are all one-offs.

Oh I took it as physical Wanda was making tea while Astral Wanda was studying the Darkhold. I saw it as she is so much more powerful than Dr Strange that she can exist in both forms at once, unlike the Sorcerers whose physical body sleeps while in Astral form.
I got caught up in the mystery that the hype created and trying to find all these super serious secret reveals that basically never came to be. At the end I was actually much more satisfied in the story without the big distractions and not having/revealing a "big bad".
Even knowing it was going to happen, having to say goodbye to her kids was a hard scene that I thought the actors did a good job of. And knowing they are coming back made the final scene a little more satisfying. I could totally see Wanda now ripping through the multiverse to find them again as the Multiverse of Madness set-up.
I'm really curious about why Dr Strange didn't get involved and what he was actually doing. If the magic was powerful enough to draw Agatha, I would think he would have sensed it when he can tell that Loki is just visiting NY.
I'm happy with the series as a whole and can't wait to watch it in one sitting.
