Vision Quest Episode 1 and 2, The WandaVision Trilogy never disappoints.

WandaVision was the first project after a long break from the MCU thanks to the Fucking Pandemic, today it has been over 5 years and somehow me and everyone else who say it and isn't a Grifter considers it one of the most surprisingly amazing things to come out of the MCU ever.

The MCU's Philosophy with this Saga seems to be bringing back the Older shows ad movies under the same banner, from a cynical perspective one might call it nostalgia baiting, but if one were being objective, it is also to expand its audience, beyond the usual youngsters, and over all I think it was a good decision.

I mean how else would you get an entire fucking Sitcom entirely canon to the MCU with accurate laugh tracks to the originals, I mean has anyone stopped ad thought how crazy that is?

Regardless the Sequel Agatha all Along once and for all made it extremely fucking clear that the Children that Wanda made were real, meaning the argument of "her family isn't real should go in the Toilet

Oh Right, the MCU made that argument, it's almost like they didn't even refer to what WandaVision was doing while making Multiverse of Madness, yeah I guess this saga was pretty disorganized,

Thanks Bob JPEG

Man is literally the opposite of Bob the builder, making a mess not even the Great Builder can fix.

But I guess ultimately, because the MCU themselves made this shitty argument they then needed to refute it even harder.

All three of these shows have had a Hex equivalent, a sort of false veneer or veil over reality that one of the main characters is using to deal with their emotions and/or problems. In WandaVision it is the WestView Hex itself, in Agatha all along it is the witches road, and i Vision Quest it is his Mind Palace.

A place full of all the stark AIs downloaded and preserved by Vision in his mind including J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron.

In Captivity, Ultron is somehow the most human of all the AIs after Vision himself and I think it is a very interesting bit of Commentary that he happens to also be a Genocidal Maniac.

But he is the most comfortable with his Humanity, and the way things are, whereas the actual most Human AI, Vision, is still trying to lie to himself and pretend like he is as far from Humanity as he can be, and then trying his best way to intellectualize the situation.

Oh hey, Therapy Speak! where have I heard that before!

Vision and Ultron were in a sense meant to be opposites in this way, both of them have seen and understood all there is for Humanity, or at least to a similar amount since one of them provided 80% of the Code of the Other.

And Vision seems to think that his loss of Identity makes him less human, but actually it makes him more human, and strangely enough, Ultron for all his dislike of being trapped in Visions head, actually is a very good parent to Vision.

For a Genocidal Maniac that is.

Let's be clear on this, it is very obvious that he is only causing more and more chaos to gain more and more control of Vision's body ad/or gain more freedom, like it is in no way a coincidence that he set into motion, a bunch of events that lead to ultimately, Jarvis being forced to bring down the security protocols and allowing Ultron to come to the common area.

And then further forcing Jarvis to delete himself.

If its a moment of Noble Self Sacrifice Ultron why the fuck did you not do it?

I mean Jarvis was clearly not your first choice as you said right?

But regardless of all that, what he is saying to vision in general is quite poignant, Vision goes back to the Ship of Theseus argument that the Hex counterpart made for him, and it kind of perfectly encapsulates his Identity crisis.

He has been broken and put back together so much that he doesn't feel like himself anymore.

This is also very much like how people who have survived massive trauma or awoken from a long Coma feel.

But Ultron for all his Genocidal tendencies, understands philosophy very well, and cuts through the crap to tell the simple truth, that it doesn't matter whether some philosopher somewhere agrees whether you are actually you.

The Ship of Theseus is irrelevant. What gave the ship its legend was Theseus and his actions, and the Ship itself is kept alive and restored by those who wish to keep his legend alive.

When your Child is in Danger.

Oh and while we are at this, here is a comparison I actually don't see anyone making and I find that quite strange because it's from WadaVision.

Point is it seems very much like Ultron wants very much for Vision to meet his kids, whether for self interest, or for Visions best interests remains to be seen.

Now in WandaVision, this was obviously Wada's subconscious blowing over onto these people.

And so that would imply that Ultron is being Self interested but like Wanda here is not simply being self interested, and she actually does love Vision, it seems the same goes for Ultron.

Ultron presumably wants a Family of his own, and wants Vision to join him.

And we know this even more because we know Jocasta will appear later on...

But is she the Client?

I don't know, I do believe Ultron when he says that he didn't create the the bounty, cause if he could have done that, why didn't he do it sooner?

It seems very likely he found an opportunity and jumped on it, because leaking location is much easier than creating a whole ass bounty.

But now lets talk about the Child Thomas Shepherd, him and Vision are more similar than they would give each other credit for, both are taken apart and put back together like the Ship of Theseus ad feel the extreme weight of their previous selves.

And also, Tommy is probably much more than "just the speedster."

IMaybe he can help Ultron Escape, who knows.

I guess bro is more like Flash than it seems.

But we cannot talk about Tommy without Talking about Billy, and there is not much that ca be said yet about how he will play into this story, there is more to say about his partner Lisa Molinari because we know she is the Villain known as Coat of Arms.

But what about Palladin.

What about him, currently all we know is that he is a driving force for vision and that Phillomena Cunk is his guy in the chair.

anything more will have to wait.
