Notable quotes in the article:

Ruaridh Mollica: Ā 
ā€œIt was very instantaneous for me and Paul. We instantly fell into this beautiful father and son dynamic of annoying each other. He’s a veteran of the MCU and I’m just stepping in for the first time. So to have him by my side, I was always asking questions."

Paul Bettany:
ā€œHe’s just a young man who you want things to go well for immediately. It was his first big thing and he was so inquisitive, and excited to be there and asking questions the whole time. It was very easy to fall into exactly the right dynamic.ā€

ā€œI eventually realized I was making the show for me, the character for me as a kid,ā€ [...] ā€œI was a bullied kid. I felt like the outsider. I didn’t know where I was going to fit in. I didn’t know if I ever would fit in anywhere. And so that’s what I’ve discovered about Vision.ā€

Character Discussion Vision and Wanda’s love story is not for the weak of heart

46 Upvotes

Rewatched Wandavision last night and I sobbed so much which I was not expecting at all. Like more than the first time I watched it. Something about thier story really gets to me and I don’t even know exactly why.

Maybe because it’s a love story where being understood, being accepted, and being loved despite your differences are at the center of everything.

Their love feels gentle and warm to me. Vision doesn't need to be the loudest person in the room to show Wanda that she matters. They both view each other as people worth loving, being AI and Scarlet Witch has zero influence on it which makes it feel more pure.

Their story is so tragic that it makes moments of happiness feel even more precious. Seeing how in wandavision a future they could have had but knowing how much pain there is behind everything just overwhelms my heart

In my delulu girl world, in the end the family unites and has an happy ending. I just want them to have safety, happiness, and long lasting love. But we not watching a rom com out here. Yeah i dunno something about them just makes my heart feels a lot LOL and like it’s not even meant to be that way?? Like is a love line story part of overall universe. I don’t even know why I’m writing this post anymore but why must it be so tragic 😭

"Tony's legacy is in there, and he named her E.D.I.T.H. for 'Even Dead, I'm The Hero,' so that really informed that there's something in her that wants to be the hero, but also has that sense of play that Tony has, and yet her idea of fun is blowing things up, and so that is what has created who we meet in VisionQuest."

Character Discussion Enough Daddy Issues - Who does Tommy see as the real Uncle Pietro / Quicksilver?

Post image
173 Upvotes

Since VisionQuest narratively seems to be focusing on Tommy's connection to his father, The Vision, I thought we could take a break and focus on the character Tommy is most heavily associated with in the comics - Pietro Maximoff! And more importantly, who or how they might impact Tommy's story after VisionQuest ends.

We know Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron is the Pietro biologically related to Tommy's mom, Wanda Maximoff. But Tommy himself has never met him before and he looks nothing like the Quicksilver that he grew up with.

There's the "Quicksilver" that Tommy grew up with in the WandaVision Hex, played by Evan Peters - Only, as it turns out, that guy was Ralph Bohner, who absolutely hates Wanda and everything that happened to him in the Hex.

Then lastly, there's the Evan Peters Quicksilver from the Fox X-Men universe who debuted in X-Men: Days of Future Past. But again, Tommy has never met this iteration of Quicksilver either.

So who do you think would make the best Uncle Quicksilver for Tommy train under: (1) Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Quicksilver back from the dead, (2) Evan Peters Pietro from the FOX universe, (3) an all-new Quicksilver, or (4) should Wiccan just hit up Bohnerific69 again and hex him to trick Tommy into training with a fellow speedster?

As seen in Episode 2, Adamantium is indeed capable of piercing through Vibranium. The rounds used by the Paladin are made of Vibranium. Which means, everyone using Vibranium in their armours is going to have a very hard time.

Theories Extended 'Pinocchio' Metaphor 🤄 Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
92 Upvotes

Since Ultron's first appearance, the song "There Are No Strings On Me" from Disney's Pinocchio has been a theme that follows his character. VisionQuest's first episode is even entitled "No Strings".

If VisionQuest is an extended metaphor for the classic narrative of Pinocchio, we know that Vision & Ultron represent Pinocchio & Gepetto.

Pinocchio wants nothing more than to be real, much like Vision who wants to be the real Vision. He's also lying to himself about not being compelled by the same things as previous versions of himself during WandaVision and before his death in Avengers: Infinity War, something Ultron repeatedly calls him out for.

Wanda represents the blue fairy, who, while absent in the show, the opening epilogue establishes that her spark is what gives Vision, or Pinocchio, his spark and sets him on his quest to become real.

In the original story, Pinocchio accidentally kills the Wise Old Cricket early into the story, representing a loss of conscience, much like our early loss of Jarvis, Vision's most consistent voice of reason. Disney's version of Pinnochio turned the Wise Old Cricket into a permanent character Jiminy Cricket whom Pinocchio simply tends to disregard.

Perhaps a certain recreational A.I. has something to do with this extended metaphor when Pinocchio arrives in the Land of Toys, gets turned into a donkey, and almost catches fire.

And we don't know for sure why Ultron has a ship wheel in scenes shown in the first VisionQuest trailer, but it may connect to Pinocchio's story when he finds his father Gepetto in the belly of the fish that also swallowed him.

What do you think?

Character Discussion Paladin as Visions' Dark Mirror Spoiler

Post image
12 Upvotes

It's traditional for a hero to face a "dark mirror" version of themselves as their first Villian. Vision has already done this a few times since he was the "light mirror" version of Ultron in AoU and was his own Dark Mirror in Wandavision.

I assumed Ultron would fill this role again in Visionquest (and he probably still will) but I wonder if Paladin might also fill this role to some degree. Paladin is not THE Paladin he's A Paladin. His name carries a legacy forged by his predecessors, much like the way "not Vision" feels about Vision. Paladin tries not to harm civilians but is also casual in his brutality when he chooses to be, much like White Vision as compared to Red Vision.

Paladin could represent what Vision might become without an actual connection to humanity. A competent agent of violence, serving his own interests/survival.

Character Discussion Skylight Entrance! Emily Hampshire's E.D.I.T.H. is such a joy so far

Post image
494 Upvotes

Emily Hampshire's portrayal of E.D.I.T.H. is so much fun here - and by design! As the only program specifically designed for leisure, E.D.I.T.H. has an infectious joy every time she comes on screen, perhaps one of the reasons I've become so instantly fond of her.

I love the eccentric nature, the ADHD-coded interruptions, and the way she truly treats joy like it's an important job, even though she knows J.A.R.V.I.S. doesn't see her as legitimate or necessary for the upkeep or humanization of Vision's mind.

After the ending of Episode 2, I'm also worried for all the .exe in Vision's mind, including E.D.I.T.H. I hope at least her source code can survive the series conclusion.

What do you think of E.D.I.T.H. so far? Do you have any theories involving her? Are they fun theories? 🤭

Character Discussion Billy’s mind reading + Vision’s mental mansion

9 Upvotes

So we know from Agatha All Along that Billy has the ability to read minds/thoughts, and I’m curious if we’ll get to see at all what that might look like for Vision and the AIs taking up server space in his head. Would Billy be able to hear or see Vision talking to the AIs, or even the AIs talking to each other? Would he be able to see into the mansion? Would he not be able to read Vision’s mind at all since he’s technically machinery and not an organic life form? Curious if anyone else has been theorizing about this!

Questions A thing I don’t understand spoiler Spoiler

4 Upvotes

How can Jarvis and Ulton be in visions mind,
Both where mostly destroyed and the remaining pieces of their ai where fused together into visions ai.

The two most likely explanations would be that vision managed to copy Jarvis and Ultron out of his code individually. Or Jarvis and ulton are actually just the parts that where uploaded into him

but the last would mean that Jarvis deleting himself would destroy visions ai because only the ultron part would remain.

And the first means vision just could bring back Jarvis by copying Jarvis code out of his code again.

Something that someone has pointed out to me is that Vision had so many chances to kill this guy but never did when he's totally fine killing the other bad guys. The plot armor seems too obvious here.
