Insight will be on for at least the next 24 hours.

Perhaps because Feige actually served as a producer on Agent Carter, while he had no involvement with Agents of Shield. That show really seem like it just really tried to connect with the MCU, but it really did a terrible job at it, especially when it was unable to acknowledge the snap in S6.

In an exclusive interview with The Direct during the VisionQuest finale event in New York, where the final episode was screened for fans, creator Terry Matalas and star Paul Bettany explained why Viv never factored into the series, even though the show shares clear DNA with the comic that introduced her. 

VisionQuest clearly takes inspiration from Tom King's Vision comic, which shaped what Marvel has done with the character in live-action in recent years. Even the suburban setting and family drama of WandaVision echoed King's work. Matalas acknowledged the parallels between that story and the show but explained that Vivian Vision "didn't seem quite right" for the story they were telling: 

"No, Viv Vision didn’t seem quite right. It’s a wonderful collection. Everything he did with that obviously inspires— goes back to inspiring even WandaVision, I think. But I don’t know how right that would’ve been for someone who’s mourning to create a robot wife and it just didn’t quite feel like that would be the story." 

Bettany, who knows the comic well himself, backed up Matalas' point that Viv Vision didn’t fit VisionQuest's story, saying, "I think we've covered the family story now": 

"I don’t think that can be — I think that’s a different timeline. I know that very, very well. It’s a fantastic graphic novel and I love it and it had influenced me but I think we’ve covered the family story now." 

Rather than give Vision a daughter, VisionQuest explored the relationship between Vision and his son Tommy. According to Matalas, Ultron influenced how Vision interacts with the young speedster by "encouraging him to be more human": 

"I think Ultron is kind of encouraging him to be more human than he is. So, in some ways, Ultron is a father figure, he’s a therapist, and he’s also the devil on his shoulder. So, it’s an interesting combo that I think was the idea for this show." 

Vision and Ultron's complex dynamic was one of the best aspects of VisionQuest, with the pair coming to understand each other and helping one another find themselves and come to terms with their grief.

And yes I know the Wonder Man scene was a dream sequence/fake out. But the sheer fact that it happened makes it count.

If the title is consuming: I was watching Endgame Encore. In the final battle between Thanos’s army and the Avengers, Scott and Hope meet. And i noticed no expression from Scott by seeing hope expect a smile and a small nod. That’s when I realised that both Scott and Hope haven’t been that separated because of blip. Scott was in quantum realm for 5 (hours in his case, years in real time). For Hope, it was just a close and open eyes moment. I’m saying this because Scott was very much overwhelmed seeing Cassie but not the same when he saw Hope. This little detail took me almost 6 years to notice.

Edit: to whomever says that it’s just Hope finally calling “Cap”, just add this perspective too, it’s still a way one can think. And, and, and, I know that Scott was reacting because she grew up, it’s obvious with the conversation they have. Also, I think Scott was expecting someone in the house because he saw his name written in the vanished people stone but not anyone else from his family. He rushed because he must have realised that someone from his home has given that name to get carved in the stone.

Ever since they showed up in the early avengers movies I was syked to see a buddy movie with these two. Their dynamic was perfect for a slick spy thriller.

First of all kudos to elizabeth olsen for performing and portraying the role so phenomenally...I can argue for hours that there is no actress who can play wanda better than her

The popularity Wanda gained after WandaVision was genuinely insane. She went from being a relatively underutilised character to one of the biggest faces of the MCU almost overnight.

WandaVision hype was so crazy. It turned wanda into an A-list superstar.

What's crazier is that her popularity isn't just online hype. People are genuinely interested in seeing her return. Reports of around 60K ticket sales following the VisionQuest post-credit tease are pretty wild.

Honestly, she could be Marvel's Iron Man — someone whose name alone generates excitement for an entire project.

Marvel has something special here, and I really hope they haven't wasted that potential.

Do you think Wanda is the biggest female character Marvel has ever created, and could she have become the face of the MCU?

Spoilers

Just my two cents, but hear me out.

For everyone wondering how Wanda could have survived the destruction of Mount Wundagore without a single scratch to her face, only for Dr. Doom to find her under all that rubble and recruit her, seemingly without a single scratch...

In Multiverse of Madness, when Wanda destroys the temple to ensure nobody can ever be tempted by the Darkhold again, there's a red flash of energy during the destruction!

Also, it doesn't happen at the beginning or at the very end. It happens when the temple is roughly 80% destroyed.

Could that have been Wanda instinctively conjuring a force field to protect herself from the collapsing temple?

And could the red flash we see be that force field shattering under the impact of all the falling debris? Maybe that's how she survived relatively unharmed, just knocked unconscious.

What do you guys think?

I just realised this and my day is ruined ;)
