Recap / The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! S2 E14 "Behold... The Vision!"

Go To

They finally get around to fixing the Captain America shield after "A Day Unlike Any Other", which brings out heroes to the only people who know enough about vibranium to work with it, in Wakanda. Things start getting tense as T'challa/Black Panther still refuses to rejoin the team after what the Skrulls did, but they may not even have time to fix things as the Vision, seeking rare artifacts from all over the world, now has his sights set on vibranium — and Wakanda itself.


Tropes:

  • Appropriated Appellation: The Vision was first named by Ultron as "a Vision of perfection".
  • Armor-Piercing Response:
    Jane: I'm here to treat your injuries.
    Wasp: Whatever. You only came over because you wanna to see him.
    Jane: [flustered] I... don't know what you're talking about.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: "You want my shield? Here it is!"
  • Big "NO!": Played for laughs when Wasp gets freaked out by a cheesy horror movie.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Cap's shield is repaired, Black Panther rejoins the team, and Wakanda is safe, but Ultron is back and preparing a body made of pure adamantium. Jane also reconsiders her interest in Thor.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: When the four heroes go up against Vision.
  • Damsel in Distress: Jane Foster finds herself at the mercy of this, and Janet makes her seriously reconsider her connection with Thor.
  • Emerging from the Shadows: The Vision's first appearance at the Weapon X labs.
  • Friendship Moment: Black Panther saying the day was saved because of his fellow Avengers.
  • Hypocrite: Black Panther chastises Iron Man for abandoning the team—something he actually did first. Hawkeye immediately calls him on this.
  • It's Personal: Hawkeye over Vision vaporizing his bow.
  • MacGuffin: Everything on the Vision's "shopping list".
  • Male Gaze: We see from Hawkeye's POV an upwards tilt shot of one of the Dora Milaje from behind. She isn't amused.
  • Mythology Gag: Vision gets adamantium from Weapon X labs.
  • No-Sell:
    • After Thor is ambushed, Cap does a flying kick into Vision. He doesn't budge an inch.
    • Hawkeye attempts to crush Vision with a large rock, only to learn he can become intangible.
  • One-Man Army: Vision effortlessly makes his way to the vibranium mines when facing assorted opponents. It's only after his arm is damaged trying to get the shield and the four Avengers start a combined assault that the tables turn.
  • Passive-Aggressive Kombat: Hawkeye keeps needling Black Panther about abandoning the team before challenging him to a fight.
  • Raised Hand of Survival: Before facing Hawkeye at the site, Vision leaves the others buried under rubble in the mine. After some fighting, we cut back to the mine and get this from Thor (with hammer in hand).
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: During the final fight, Vision keeps track of his chances for success, which decrease every time he takes damage. When the percentage drops catastrophically low, he bails.
  • Take That!: To the Wakandan tradition that implies all someone has to do to become the ruler of Wakanda is win a wrestling fight. Even though Black Panther finds this law stupid, he never actually abolished it, so Hawkeye attempts several times throughout the episode to use this oversight to take over Wakanda to get back at T'Challa for leaving the team. It doesn't go in Hawkeye's favor.
  • Taught by Experience: After losing track of Vision, Black Panther suggests checking the vibranium mines on the grounds that these kind of situations always involve someone trying to claim a supply.
  • Unflinching Walk: Vision during Thor's lightning attack, no doubt because he's an Intangible Man.
  • Villain Ball: Averted. After learning where the shield is, Vision leaves Wasp and Jane buried in rubble so that they can't warn anyone in Wakanda of what's coming.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Hawkeye spends much of the episode calling out Black Panther for abandoning the team and refusing to rejoin as the Skrull invasion was starting.
