VisionQuest came to an end this week, putting a bow on one of Marvel's best Disney Plus shows ahead of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's next blockbuster film, December's Avengers: Doomsday. If you're curious about the show, but don't have a Disney Plus subscription (and after its recent price hikes, who can blame you), Marvel and Disney have made the first episode of VisionQuest free to watch on YouTube. VisionQuest concludes the story of Wanda Maximoff and Vision that was first started in 2021's WandaVision, the MCU's first foray into streaming TV. (That show's first three episodes were uploaded to YouTube ahead of VisionQuest's premiere last month.) Together with Agatha All Along, the shows make an interconnected trilogy.
VisionQuest builds off storylines from both shows, so you should watch them first lest VisionQuest spoil the previous series. The resurrected Vision from WandaVision tries to sort out just who he is in VisionQuest. He'll work through that question with other AI characters at his side, like FRIDAY (Orla Brady) and Ultron (James Spader), who seemingly perished at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
But, these are comics characters we're talking about, and only Uncle Ben will remain dead forever. (Probably. Maybe.) Like WandaVision and Agatha All Along before it, VisionQuest has received critical acclaim. "Thanks to some clever, non-linear storytelling, a handful of unpredictable twists, and a slew of standout performances — Paul Bettany puts on an absolute masterclass as Vision, but everyone here is pulling their weight — Marvel's streaming era gets the sendoff that it needs, and the one fans deserve," Polygon's Jake Kleinman wrote in his VisionQuest review.
All eight episodes of VisionQuest are now streaming on Disney Plus. Like so many MCU projects before it, VisionQuest ends with a major tease of what's coming up next.
