The truth goes something like this: Vision is a reconstituted version of his former self, who was killed by Thanos in \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and then kinda-sorta brought back sans memories by his wife Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), a grieving witch, in the 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> \u201cWandaVision\u201d; Tommy is an ordinary person suddenly imbued with the consciousness and abilities of a child Wanda invented with magic, which survived the collapse of his mother\u2019s suburban simulation and crossed the pond in search of a host.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tVision runs a simulation where he struggles, over and over again, to condense all this lore and explain it to Tommy in a way that doesn\u2019t overwhelm him with anger and confusion. There\u2019s not a single version that doesn\u2019t end with Tommy storming out of the room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis is more or less how it feels to watch \u201cVisionQuest,\u201d an eight-episode Marvel Studios series that\u2019s positioned as a sequel of sorts to \u201cWandaVision.\u201d The show plays with some clever concepts, particularly in its visual presentation; as the simulation scenarios pile up, so do Vision clones until a dozen exhausted, exasperated Bettanys all collapse on a hotel floor. (Much of \u201cVisionQuest\u201d s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s away the monochrome coating to show Vision as an ordinary human, allowing Bettany to flex his fusty charm.) But this imagery is larded with so much convoluted backstory and abstract concepts that \u201cVisionQuest\u201d ends up in the exact same predicament as Vision himself, a synthetic being trying and mostly failing to connect with his emotions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tArtificial intelligence has long been a staple of comics and other forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> fiction, but as real-life AI companies talk seriously about potential sentience, there\u2019s a topical slant to Vision\u2019s preferred strategy for getting in touch with his feelings. He\u2019s created and\/or convened a bunch of autonomous AIs \u2014 what we would now call \u201cagents,\u201d though creator Terry Matalas may have overseen the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>s before that term fully entered the popular lexicon \u2014 to help him with various tasks. There\u2019s F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Orla Brady), who helps decode <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> interactions, and E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), who\u2019s a proponent of fun. Mechanics D.U.M.-E. (Henry Lewis) and U (Jonathan Sayer) tend to the more mundane work of keeping internal systems in shape. Finally, there are more familiar figures from earlier stages of the MCU: Tony Stark\u2019s old pal J.A.R.V.I.S. (James D\u2019Arcy) is on hand; most intriguingly, so is Ultron (James Spader), the namesake antagonist of the second \u201cAvengers\u201d film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAll these assistants take corporeal form in Vision\u2019s so-called Mindspace, a virtual and psychological plane that takes the shape of a quirky Victorian mansion. Here, Ultron looks not like a menacing CGI robot but the 66-year-old Spader himself: a schlubby guy with a flowing beard and a trenchcoat whose menacing, purple-prosed monologues (\u201cIt feels to me like your Greek tragedy has a deuteragonist\u201d) are undercut by his appearance. To the show\u2019s credit, this Ultron is a highly entertaining creation, allowing Spader to layer some of his signature sardonic air to a character who\u2019s still cynical, but much humbled from his supervillain days. Without access to the real world, Ultron has to settle for being the devil on Vision\u2019s shoulder rather than an actor in his own right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt\u2019s when the Mindspace intersects with said real world that \u201cVisionQuest\u201d gets overly complicated. Directors Christopher J. Byrne, Gandja Monteiro and Vincenzo Natali \u2014 along with Matalas, who helms the final pair of episodes \u2014 have some fun inside that mutable dimension: When a hostile android\u2019s neural network connects with Vision\u2019s, the episode becomes a riff on possession and exorcism (\u201cThe power of code compels you!\u201d), and when Ultron begs Vision to let him \u201ctake the wheel,\u201d it\u2019s a literal ship\u2019s wheel buffeted by stormwinds. But apart from having the AIs appear and speak to Vision as a kind of imaginary friend, invisible to everyone else, \u201cVisionQuest\u201d never lands on a consistent or legible way to map the relationship between the two realms, or how events in one affect the material reality of the other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tConstantly toggling between the Mindspace and meatspace (sorry, it\u2019s right there!) inevitably takes a toll on Tommy, who only exists in the latter. Even by the fantastical standards of comics-based storytelling, the tenuousness of Tommy\u2019s nature \u2014 he\u2019s <em>kind of <\/em>another incarnation of Quicksilver, played by Evan Peters in \u201cWandaVision,\u201d but also kind of not? \u2014 makes him a difficult protagonist to map onto. That straining to comprehend the irrational fog of human emotions is the show\u2019s explicit subject only clarifies the problem rather than neutralizing it. As Vision wonders what his purpose is without Wanda or the Avengers, we do, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cVisionQuest\u201d tries to balance such philosophical questions about consciousness (yes, the Ship of Theseus metaphor comes back) with more active conflicts. At the behest of a mysterious client, the bounty hunter Paladin (Todd Stashwick) is on Vision\u2019s trail, as is the aforementioned android (T\u2019Nia Miller). Evading them provides <em>some <\/em>momentum, though not enough to propel an entire cast so massive I haven\u2019t even mentioned Diane \u201cPhilomena Cunk\u201d Morgan, who plays the Paladin\u2019s assistant, yet. Before long, \u201cVisionQuest\u201d is trying to stitch all its unwieldy threads together with basic clich\u00e9s about chosen family. \u201cVisionQuest\u201d often tells the audience what we\u2019re <em>supposed <\/em>to be feeling, yet rarely achieves its stated aim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWandaVision\u201d was the first Marvel Studios show to air on Disney+, and with its shapeshifting sitcom homage as an allegory for grief, that series has remained a high bar to beat amid the MCU\u2019s oversaturation era. This remains the case for the direct sequel. \u201cVisionQuest\u201d rehashes many of the same themes about recovering from loss \u2014 there is, of course, a flashback to the famous line about love persevering \u2014 with a hero who is, by definition, much less accessible. (And given AI\u2019s alarming trajectory toward mass job replacement and\/or civilizational destruction, I didn\u2019t feel especially inclined to empathize with a bunch of digital entities.) \u201cVisionQuest\u201d can be enjoyable in its comfort zone of zanily tweaking the Mindspace. But when it\u2019s time to venture out into the tactile world, the show doesn\u2019t leave a lasting mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>The first two episodes of \u201cVisionQuest\u201d will premiere on Disney+ on Oct. 14, with remaining episodes airing weekly on Wednesdays.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
