When VisionQuest was introduced, many assumed that the main focus of the present would primarily be on following up on Imaginative and prescient’s story after the occasions of WandaVision—which means, the expectation was that the present would clarify the place the White Imaginative and prescient went on the finish of that present, whether or not he was now primarily the unique Imaginative and prescient as a result of his recollections had been restored, and what his connection to Wanda, Billy, and Tommy can be, if something, even when it was simply an emotional connection. To a level, these expectations have been appropriate. The trailer for VisionQuest confirmed that these very questions are going to be addressed, with Tommy even taking part in a key position and Imaginative and prescient instantly interrogating questions on who/what he’s and whether or not he feels he ever really had a household in any respect.
Nonetheless, that’s removed from the one story the present can be tackling. Fairly, the trailer additionally confirmed that the villain of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the titular Ultron, can be returning, together with quite a few different AI characters, all in human type. It’s since been defined that that is a part of what’s going on in Imaginative and prescient’s “Mindscape,” however both approach, few had anticipated that the present would so prominently function Ultron (in any case, within the trailer, he’s handled as primarily a grandfatherly determine to Tommy, which actually places an odd spin on issues). Now, along with this information, extra perception into the upcoming present has been supplied, and it confirms {that a} main replace to Age of Ultron is coming that may drastically change one storyline and alter a key character as effectively.
VisionQuest Will Reveal That Ultron Was “Backed Up” by Imaginative and prescient
In keeping with ScreenRant, VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas defined that, in Imaginative and prescient’s mindscape, “…upstairs, what we discover out is, in a New York loft-like jail, is Ultron, whom [Vision] didn’t kill with out mercy on the finish of Avengers: Age of Ultron; he backed him up. He all the time felt that he didn’t need to kill Ultron; he confirmed mercy, and he’s nonetheless round.” This can be a huge change to what many thought was the conclusion of Age of Ultron, during which Ultron was seemingly destroyed. Clearly, this had already been confirmed to not be the case in some capability, as Ultron was clearly returning within the present. Nonetheless, the element that it was Imaginative and prescient himself who backed Ultron up, thereby successfully saving his life, is new—and it additionally has critical story implications.
On the one hand, what may arguably be known as a retcon in VisionQuest is a superb resolution, because it means the return of Ultron, who’s a fan-favorite character that many followers have been unhappy to see come and go in Age of Ultron (or so we thought). Along with this being the best name when it comes to bringing Ultron again, although, this additionally means a major replace to Imaginative and prescient as a personality, as he’s now accountable, in a way, for no matter Ultron does from Age of Ultron on. Granted, it seems like Ultron has turned a brand new leaf and is not making an attempt to overcome the world and wipe out humanity. And, in equity, wanting to save lots of Ultron quite than exterminate him is in step with Imaginative and prescient’s characterization. Even so, there’ll probably be some who received’t be too happy to study that Imaginative and prescient saved Ultron in the long run.
