New Avengers: Age of Ultron Poster - Vision

I'm kind of meh on the appearance they've gone with for him. Close to the book but almost like they changed it enough upset purists but not enough to give a a great new look.

But perhaps it will look better in action than in a still photo. Plus, if the acting and dialogue are good the appearance won't bother me anyway.

Vision is the remnants of JARVIS

I thought that was already well known?

I'm ridiculously excited for Vision. Vision has always been one of my favorite Avengers, and he's a deeply weird character when you stop to think about it. He was also one of the mainstays of the team during all of its turbulent lineup changes in the 80s and 90s. To me, you can't have the Avengers without him because he is on all of the teams *I* remember (this is purely nostalgia talking).

Still, we are getting dangerously close to Avengers Disassembled, which seems like a good place for every actor to get out of their current role. But that requires Vision, Ultron, and Scarlet Witch, and... oh look! They are all being introduced in the MCU with this film.

True.

But you have to look at the long game (which I can't figure out even with the film announcements). As much as I would love Bettany to voice and be vision for 10 years, or Evans to never grow old and stay Cap forever (Please?) that just isn't realistic. There's going to be a play, at some point, for either a complete restructuring, or even a recasting effort. Can Boseman run the Avengers for a few phases? Maybe, and that seems to be the current play. What that means for a storyline? I kind of dug Disassembled, but I didn't like some of the follow-ups.

And off-topic:


Oh and Wonder Man. I want some version of Wonder Man. And I do wonder where Namor sits now, I can never remember if we get him or not. But with DC going with Aquaman, Namor might just look like a rip-off.

I have been in awe of Whedon's range as a writer/director.

He can make dark material light enough for consumption, while making light material engaging or funny enough to hold the script together. He can alternate seamlessly between the moods.

Just look at Buffy, Angel, Dr. Horrible, and Firefly.

And it looks like The Vision has The Receding Hairline.

Plus, for a pretty long stint he was the character shown in the upper left circle or box at the top of Avengers covers:







I don't think any other single characters have occupied that space for anywhere close to the number of times Vision has. (Of course often there were floating heads of all current team members there).

Thus, in a way, he's been literally the symbol or avatar of the team.

He looks more purple than red in the poster.

More gay than communist?
