"After all the battles fought, the monsters defeated, the only force powerful enough to imprison me is myself."
A first look at November 3rd's penultimate episode of VisionQuest is now online after debuting on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Be warned, the sneak peek reveals a fairly major spoiler.
The brief clip finds Vision (Paul Bettany) encountering the consciousness of the version of the Synthezoid that was conjured by the Scarlet Witch in WandaVision, aka "Hex Vision," and the reveal comes with some pretty big (potential) implications for these final two episodes.
Does this mean that Hex Vision still exists somewhere in White Vision's Mindspace along with the other AIs? Is he the mysterious "Client" that hired Paladin to hunt his counterpart down?
This is a popular theory, but if Hex Vision already resides as a fragment of thought in our Vision's mind, why would he need someone to physically bring the former Avenger to him?
It's difficult to know exactly what's going on here without some additional context, and we'll say no more for fear of giving even more away than Marvel already has by releasing this clip!
Check out the preview of VisionQuest episode 7 at the link below.
"When VisionQuest begins, Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate.
As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.”
