00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at how the rest of the MCU might be shaped based on the
00:05events of Vision Quest.
00:07It goes without saying, but we will say it anyway. A spoiler alert is in effect.
00:12But whatever I do, I know I don't want to do it alone. Thanks to you, my boy.
00:20Number 3. WandaVision Reunion and the Young Avengers
00:23Let's be real, everybody. Did any of us think they'd actually kill off Scarlet Witch for good?
00:29Wanda seemed to shuffle off this mortal coil at the end of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and
00:34remained M.I.A. for over four years.
00:37No one will ever be tempted by the dark gold again.
00:41Many speculated her return in Vision Quest, which finally came to pass in the finale.
00:46We'll admit, the MCU got us going for a while there, especially since none of the Vision Quest cast was
00:51announced for Avengers Doomsday.
00:53However, the Disney Plus series finally brought the entire WandaVision family back together on screen.
00:59That was odd.
01:05Of course, neither Wanda nor Vision and the boys know about the other.
01:09With the small matter of their deaths out of the way, it remains to be seen how Wanda and Vision
01:14will reunite.
01:15But it isn't just the two of them anymore.
01:17Not with Tommy and Billy alive and well.
01:19In the comics, the brothers operate as Speed and Wiccan.
01:23Agatha all along and Vision Quest have demonstrated their powers already, so it's only a matter of time before their
01:29next appearances dive into their abilities in greater detail.
01:32Vision's in trouble.
01:33We've already lost Mom.
01:34If we don't save him, we'll lose him too.
01:36Although Doomsday is bringing back all the fan favorites, it isn't exactly future-proof with an aged cast.
01:41The best way around is introducing new blood.
01:44And that's where the young Avengers come in.
01:47The team was teased at the end of the Marvels, but fans still haven't seen it come about.
01:51What do you want?
01:52I'm putting together a team.
01:54And I want you on it.
02:01Please?
02:02Now with Cassie Lang, Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, Tommy and Billy Maximoff, America Chavez, Franklin Richards, Thor's daughter Love, and
02:10T'Challa's son in the mix,
02:12the roster seems well-placed for Young Avengers material.
02:15The MCU struggled heavily post-Endgame to establish a new set of characters,
02:19but the groundwork seems to be there now.
02:22Even if there isn't a Young Avengers on the horizon,
02:25the series can go another route, reuniting the WandaVision family.
02:28Because while the trilogy of WandaVision, Agatha All Along, and Vision Quest has progressed their character stories,
02:34it hasn't resolved them.
02:36Listen, Tommy, I am so happy to see you again, but you really shouldn't be here.
02:40We're leaving here together.
02:42With Avengers Doomsday already cluttered with so many characters,
02:45a series solely dedicated to Vision, Wanda, and their sons doesn't sound so bad.
02:50After all, the family has spent more time apart than together,
02:53with each member undergoing significant changes since Westview.
02:57Seeing how they adjust to one another,
02:59particularly with Wanda's troubled history and Vision's new identity,
03:03could provide a completely fresh angle to the WandaVision formula.
03:06We have said goodbye before.
03:10So, I suppose it stands to reason.
03:14We might say hello again.
03:16Number 2. Ultron and the AI's Freedom
03:19There are no strings on Ultron, that's for sure.
03:22You wanted to play God?
03:25Well, now it's time you met one.
03:27The second Avengers film's antagonist got just the kind of portrayal that fans had always wanted.
03:32Far from just being a generic maniac, Vision Quest delved into his inner pain.
03:37The show also resolved his genocidal intentions,
03:40giving Ultron a whole new outlook for his flawed mind.
03:43He's not quite the suit of armor around the world that Tony Stark wanted,
03:46but the AI has undergone an incredible amount of character development over just 8 episodes.
03:51Vision, I hope you don't think that tossing me a last second time your boy pops is really going to
03:58work.
03:58Vision Quest grappled with the idea of Ultron being Vision's father and the boy's pop-pop,
04:04although it didn't go all the way in.
04:06Have you met me?
04:07There's no kind of living like survival.
04:10I kept you here out of some misguided sentimental notion that you're somehow...
04:16What?
04:17Dad?
04:19Papa?
04:20People?
04:21That doesn't mean fans should consider it done and dusted.
04:24With the WandaVision family finding their way back to each other,
04:26Ultron could very well be on the same path.
04:29The former antagonist had a bond with Wanda in Age of Ultron that still has potential to explore.
04:34You and I can hurt them,
04:37but you will tear them apart
04:42from the inside.
04:44Ultron being free carries its own set of problems,
04:47as the AI's feelings for Jocasta could open up a whole new can of worms.
04:51You are to be.
05:00With the relationship ending tragically,
05:03Ultron ironically finds himself in the same position that he mocked Vision for.
05:07With the mid-credits reveal of a drive containing Jocasta's source code,
05:11her supposed death might not be permanent.
05:13Who are we kidding?
05:14Knowing the MCU, it's definitely not permanent.
05:17For the wider story,
05:18Ultron's survival means that one of the Avengers' oldest enemies remains active.
05:22We have plenty of time to dig deep and talk about your feelings.
05:27Whether he eventually becomes an unlikely ally or not,
05:31Vision Quest leaves the door open for another major chapter in his story.
05:35Despite abandoning his genocidal ways,
05:37Ultron is far from a good guy.
05:39His ultimate arc might just be to become what Tony envisioned him to become.
05:44Who knows?
05:44The next time Ultron encounters Tony again,
05:47it just might be his creator's face on a very different person.
05:51Yes, looking at you, Victor Von Doom,
05:54a rehabilitated Ultron versus a villainous version of Stark
05:57would be an incredible scenario to watch.
06:00Okay, I'll just be here watching the world burn.
06:04As for the other characters,
06:06Vision Quest merely tapped into the implications of AIs.
06:10Edith, Friday, and even Dummy and you have independent thoughts and feelings.
06:14With the WandaVision family's personal story out of the way,
06:17these characters could have their own stories to unpack.
06:20The moment you know that no matter how far you stray on your journey,
06:25the road will always and forever lead back to them.
06:31Before we continue, be sure to check out WatchMojo's 24-hour livestream.
06:35All of your favorite videos in one place, 24-7.
06:38Always on, always live.
06:40Are you not entertained?
06:43Number one, Doom's plans.
06:46Sure, Vision Quest was important in terms of closing out the story that began in WandaVision.
06:51But hey, a new journey begins for you, Vision.
06:55Don't forget your hat.
06:56But barely anyone thought we'd get such a massive reveal in the series.
07:00The final scene completely shakes up the implications for the next Avengers.
07:05Because who just happened to show up?
07:07Why, none other than Dr. Doom himself.
07:09The post-credits scene confirms one of the biggest speculations for Avengers Doomsday.
07:13All of you have lived stolen lives.
07:23But now you must give them back.
07:26The main antagonist is assembling some of the multiverse's heaviest hitters.
07:30We already saw him seemingly picking up Franklin Richards in Fantastic Four First Steps,
07:35while Bruce Banner was collected in the stinger of Avengers Endgame Encore.
07:38Now, Doom has come for another one of the most powerful characters in the MCU.
07:44The scene also confirmed Scarlet Witch's demise in Doctor Strange 2 on Mount WandaVore.
07:48While most fans were certain she would show up again,
07:52it turns out we have Doom to thank for it.
07:54The timeline seems to be pretty fuzzy,
07:56as the scene implies he shows up soon after she perished.
07:59However, the events of Agatha all along and Vision Quest
08:02can only be possible after a significant time jump.
08:05So we'll have to wait for Doomsday to see exactly how things all line up.
08:09What we do know for certain is that Dr. Doom isn't here with any good intentions,
08:14considering the antagonist announces his plans to extract Scarlet Witch's powers.
08:18Your power will be mine.
08:20Multiverse of Madness showed her ability to do significant damage across universes,
08:24and there is little doubt that this makes her an invaluable asset to Victor.
08:28Although not with the same setup,
08:30the Marvel comic Avengers The Children's Crusade
08:33features Billy and Tommy searching for their missing mother
08:35and discovering her connection to Dr. Doom.
08:37So there is some precedent, however loose,
08:40in the Marvel canon regarding these characters.
08:43Wanda's status comes with its own giant question mark.
08:45She was hardly a protagonist when we last saw her,
08:48so exactly how the MCU dives into her turn for the better
08:51is another arc waiting to be explored.
09:02For now, her main concern is surviving Doom's plans,
09:06which seem to revolve around collecting and exploiting powerful individuals.
09:10With Wanda bringing the magic,
09:12the Hulk bringing in limitless strength,
09:14and Franklin having untold cosmic abilities,
09:17Doom is assembling enough power to threaten every reality.
09:20So, the only thing we can wonder about for now is will he do it?
09:25And just like Reed,
09:26we can't wait for Victor to answer it himself.
09:29Answer me, Victor!
09:31Did you do this?
09:33What are your theories for Avengers Doomsday?
