VisionQuest

[JoelF847]

Marvel's VisionQuest launched a day early yesterday, dropping the first two episodes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think all the key points from the trailer were already handled in the first 2, so looking forward to a lot of unknown directions for the remaining 6 episodes. Stellar cast, and a good mix of character development and moments, combined with suspense and action.

Here's hoping for a successful family reunion by the end.

I’ve heard good things about this show, which isn’t surprising considering the showrunner is Terry Matalas. Not enough good things to make me subscribe to Disney+ again, of course…

[Marc Radle]

The show is REALLY good!

[Bjørn Røyrvik]

Is it good if you didn't care for Vision at all, and thought the only good bits of Wandavision were when it was stuck in the 50s and 60s?

Well, between this post, and many others I’ve seen you make over the years, it’s pretty clear where you stand on the MCU in general, so it’s likely this show is not for you.

For other folks … like I said, excellent show and so far, a really good addition to the WandaVision / Agatha All Along trilogy

I stand with making a Thor movie worthy of him in the same way Superman sometimes get a movie worthy of him. :P

I just watch them for entertainment with a passing notion of the canon.

I don't really take comic book canon or backgrounds seriously but I know there are invested fans out there...

I think the shows have been decent, a mix of homage/reprises for fans, a bit heavy on the character introspection and dialogue (at ep 4 now), interesting to amusing set work, less physical action than you'd expect, and they are highlighting the character interconnections at this point.

I'm sure Ambush Bug can sub in for Thor if Chris Hemsworth is too busy or costs too much

[Thomas Seitz]

Blasphemy!!! Hersey!! Chris Hemsworth is the only Thor that matters right now!

[JoelF847]

Considering it's a show primarily about Vision's quest to understand who he is at this point, I actually think it has more physical action than I expected.

[Marc Radle]

Not sure why we keep bringing up Thor in this thread …

Back on topic, I agree that VisionQuest had a good mix of action, great dialog, and emotional punch.

This week’s 2 new episodes look really interesting!

[Thomas Seitz]

Marc,

Because he's awesome and if this were a DC thread, people would be bring up Batman probably.

I like Thor too, but let’s keep this thread on topic.

Feel free to start a new thread to discuss Thor though …

My theory of who's put the bounty on Vision

Spoiler:

Sharon Carter - The Powerbroker. I know the most popular theory is SWORD, but that seems too obvious, and Powerbroker would definitely want having VISION in her pocket. I've been thinking it's her for a while, but the return to Madripoor makes me think so even more. Alternatively, La Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, but she doesn't seem to work through intermediaries as much and conceal her identity.

[Thomas Seitz]

Actually Joel my theory is this:

Spoiler:

Jim Hammond! The OG Human Torch!

The show is.... alright? I like it ok? Some of the wordplay is a little too on the nose and then comes off a little cringe, but I do like learning more lore.

[Thomas Seitz]

Lore is what we're here for. :)

Spoiler:

Yeah, like I really love seeing him start to see himself? I also like to see Ultron develop and evolve his wants and curiosities about the world and humanity. That part is all pretty neat. Buuuut I was probably always going to find those things neat as an Isaac Asimov fan.

Not really sure if it's spoilery, but better safe than sorry with spoilers.

[Thomas Seitz]

Understood.

[TriOmegaZero]

I need to get back on this, the first two episodes were a good start.

I would say it's highly likely you may feel it gets even better! I felt that way!

[Marc Radle]

Yeah, we were huge fans of WandaVision and Agatha All Along, and this is certainly shaping up to be an excellent conclusion to the trilogy!
