Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

That would explain the Thousand-Yard Stare he has at one point in the trailer.
Would be amusing if Vision is patterned after Banner's thought processes the way Ultron is based on Stark's. THE Person of Mass Destruction, and his counterpart is the more peaceful AI.
Vision does have his moments of anger. Usually while yelling about how he doesn't have emotions and breaking things in a tantrum.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersVision has Jarvis's voice actor, doesn't he? I'd always assumed Tony's love for Jarvis was so powerful, it would turn him into a sentient robot.
I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.Vision traditionally has emotions but he's still awkward and doesn't quite get human behavior sometimes, which makes for some humorous moments.
Remember that "dance party" gif that topped a page recently? I found it interesting that it was the same "circling the team" thing as done in the first movie, but four characters were missing: Hulk, Iron Man, Vision and Quicksilver.
Poor Hank Pym. His greatest inventions, and everyone else gets the credit. Man he could be angry. Maybe even angry enough to slap someone.
IIRC, Wonderman was romancing Wanda, and his brain patterns were used to create Vision. Vision then formed a weird love triangle with Wanda and Wonderman before Wanda and Vision eventually married.
So logically, Vision's going to be in a weird love triangle with Black Widow and the Hulk.

Since Wanda is going to be in Age of Ultron, Vision could very well just have a romance with her without any love triangle. Since we know that initially Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are on Ultron's team, maybe both of them and the Vision all flip sides together.
I would speculate that there's definitely going to be some sort of connection between Jarvis and the Vision. But that doesn't mean that Tony Stark will create him directly.
If nothing else, Ultron is likely going to have access to most of Tony's resources and that could very easily include the source code for Jarvis.

It's not really that shocking. Two of them are entirely CGI creations and two of them have powers that are likely going to require a lot of CGI, so those four will likely be added in post-production. I predict Quicksilver zooming up to the group, Vision phasing up through the floor, ect.
It could be interesting for Ultron and Vision to be part of the same project, that Banner and Stark were working on together. Maybe Vision was what Banner had in mind, but they originally scrapped it for Stark's idea to resurrect the Ultron project. Later, Ultron comes across his "brother" and finishes him in his own image, twisting Banner's "vision" into something nasty... until the Heel–Face Turn, that is.
The Vision can be funny like that. His early character development was chock full of him feeling bad about his perceived lack of emotions.
Either sulking or raging because HE IS JUST AN EMOTIONLESS MACHINE. At some point he realized he had the same complement of emotions as anyone else and that he loved Wanda. They got married and for about five minutes they were happy.
And then when Wanda took some time off to sort her head about whether she wanted kids or not, Vision got so lonely without her that he again started claiming he was BUT AN EMOTIONLESS ROBOT I DO NOT GET LONELY, JOCASTA -has a tantrum and breaks the training room-
Unrelated but very early in their relationship, Vision evidently gave Wanda a framed picture of himself with the sternest spock pout he could muster. She kept the picture by her bed anyway.

Forever liveblogging the Avengers'Being a robot's great, but we don't have human emotions. And sometimes that makes me very sad.'
Hey, we actually have a trope for that. Neat!

What's interesting is I know Whedon has confirmed by now Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will start off on Ultron's side, but I don't know if he's ever said the same for the Vision.
Perhaps he's a last-minute reinforcement Banner starts working on early in the film but doesn't debut until the third act?
I love Vision's robo angst. I really, really do.
I don't even know why Ultron built him with tear glands. Or blah blah human torch whatever.

It'd be neat if Vision and Wanda form a connection, starting under Ultron's employ that doesn't explicitly become romantic until Infinity War or something. Maybe Wanda's powers are the thing that finally break him from Ultron's control, or they simply have chemistry, etc.
I'm currently trying to find a clip on our Tin Man page of Cap giving Vision a "..." face when he angsts about not having emotions.
On a really random note, I just realized that if Marvel does get control of Spidey back the Daredevil show can probably use Ben Urich's nephew Phil (better known as the Hobgoblin who can't decide whether or not he wants to be evil and may or may not work for the Kingpin). This matters next to nothing, but it's still something I was thinking about a while ago that popped back in my head. On the same track of things I was wondering about randomly, also might mean we could get the Janine Thompson version of The Beetle, who I also thought would be pretty cool in the MCU - maybe as another adversary to Daredevil given that they're both lawyers.
Still, that's the main thing that interests me about Spidey being in the MCU - all the characters and elements that may or may not come with him.

It's funny you say that because that's exactly how I'd characterize it. He doesn't lack emotions he just (Depending on the Writer) has trouble interpreting or responding to them.

Heroic-ish Phil Urich Hobgoblin would make a good netflix series.
I don't know. Probably should set up the goblins in some sense first.

I'm starting to think Vision's origins could be the big surprise of this movie. Like, that where he comes from and who he is as a "person" as a result is something that has a lot of different nuances.
