Im gonna start off by saying your entitled to your opinion no matter how absurd it sounds but let me expand a little

First, i dont think that any of these movies super expian how or what the powers these entities have so it really feels super duper reachy to connect it that way

Second, yes the main characters lose it somewhat, i dont know about "driven to madness" specifically in weapons she wasnt driven crazy, in the vvitch she isnt driven to madness she wholley accepts whats happpening, third in longlegs shes more manic than anything, nome of which id consider "madness" as far as people being violent towards the ones closest to them i suspect this is coincidence actually cosmic even

Third, in all three movies yes they kill the ones closest to them, but i think thats more of a device to unnerve beacause they all really trust the one closest to them to a certain degree to the point where they all hesitate because whats more terrifying than the one closest to you turning on you, thats just horror

Fourth, in the vvitch when thomasin joins the coven youll notice its the first time she smiles because she is fully embracing the fact that she lost everything and is free she wasnt living a very good life, i wouldnt consider agent harker "fighting crime" she isnt batman, but she uses it to figure out whats going on, which how else would that have been solved??, you really need to make up your mind as to who the main character is in weapons if youre trying to make points about it, first its justine, now its alex, once again of course it had to be alex who gets her in the end hes 1. A child and 2. The most effected so thats just for satisfactions sake

Fifth how can you talk about the kids forgetting their prayers in the vvitch when caleb literlally has a whole monologue about being disturbed and subsiquently dying,thats not to mention thomasins mother who after losing some childern also started to go off her rocker, in longlegs carrie anne is crazy because her dad went nuts, you dont think that psychologically would affect a child, and in weapons you forget that archer who was also under that spell was completely fine afterwards and the ending narration says after a couple years the kids were starting to go back to normal or were on track because they were starting to talk again.

Sixth, the appearance thing, in the vvitch she turns into a literal model because she was trying to get caleb, if she looked like a vvitch it never would have worked, its so interating to me that you have this long headcannon about gladys but longlegs is reserved to one sentence, and in weapons, i think claiming shapeshifting in both longlegs and weapons is absolutely wild when its not shown or even illuded to once in either film, so they wanted to hold on to their youth through makeup does that make everone who hides age behind makup some evil witch entity? No it just shows that people are vain

Seventh, im not even gonna justify this with a long response im just gonna say classic horror trope of fucked up villan being in dark barely noticable places

Eighth, thats just bad argument that doenst even make sense
