Main spoilers forward for VisionQuest episode 7.
Maybe the one largest thriller of VisionQuest has been the true id of the Consumer, and eventually, this large reply has been revealed—and proved each fashionable idea flawed. The Consumer was launched within the VisionQuest premiere as a non-corporeal, clearly altered voice, and instantly, there have been quite a few theories about who this could possibly be. Everybody from Wanda to Billy and extra was being tossed round (though the idea about Billy was shortly shut down). Finally, although, episode 7 caught viewers fully abruptly with the reality, and arguably left followers with much more questions heading into the finale.
After Imaginative and prescient was despatched by means of a sequence of what might moderately be described as trials, he arrived on the fact: the Consumer is definitely some type of Ultron. Or, at the very least, it appears to be. In a stunning sequence, the Ultron audiences have been watching all through the present to this point picked Friday up and threw her to the bottom, presumably killing her, though that’s not confirmed. From there, Imaginative and prescient noticed what appears to be a model of Ultron in previous timey garb—additionally performed by James Spader—strolling in direction of him; nonetheless, that has raised further (at present unanswered) questions on what this reveal really means. Take a look at extra on this reveal and its implications under.
The Consumer Has Been Revealed…However That’s Not the Finish of the Story
Though the ultimate couple of minutes of episode 7 did reveal that the Consumer is a personality who seems to be like some type of Ultron, that is virtually actually a special being, in essence, than who audiences met in Avengers: Age of Ultron or have been seeing in VisionQuest. In any case, we watched Tony Stark create Ultron in Age of Ultron, so his code predating everybody else’s wouldn’t make sense with that in thoughts. What would make sense, although, is that if that is really who Ultron relies on, as was (type of) the case with Jim Hammond and Imaginative and prescient and with the sources of inspiration for every of Stark’s different AIs. Sadly, that additionally signifies that whereas VisionQuest has revealed who the Consumer is, many questions nonetheless stay.
What feels notably notable is how this instantly undercut what very a lot gave the impression to be Ultron’s character growth away from an outright villain in episode 7. He and Friday spoke at size about his blended intentions and the truth that he really sees himself as Imaginative and prescient’s father. Whereas it actually nonetheless didn’t look like he was on the trail to changing into a ‘good man,’ the introduction of this different character, particularly in mild of what Ultron did to Friday, suggests we’re about to see full-blown villain Ultron as soon as once more. Presumably, although, this different determine will show to be much more harmful, and now, he appears to have Ultron on his facet.
