What a joy VisionQuesthas been to watch. We shouldn’t be surprised considering that it’s a sequel to WandaVision and Agatha All Along – two of the real great joys of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sMultiverse Saga – but there is no denying that the trilogy-closer has been a thrill-ride from start through to its penultimate episode. We have no doubt that we will be finishing that sentence with “end” shortly, because its season finale isn’t likely to disappoint.
The penultimate episode set IMDb records for Marvel TV, so it’s easy to see why expectations are so high for what’s next – especially after that unexpected twist set the stage for the finale extremely well. The good news is that, like the rest of the season, the finale will be arriving a little earlier than initially announced.
VisionQuest’s finale will release one day earlier than originally announced by Marvel
VisionQuest episode 8, titled “Forever”, will stream on Disney Plus this Tuesday, November 10, at 9:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. PT, 8:00 p.m. CT, and 7:00 p.m. MT. Just as we saw with the rest of the season prior to this, the season finale is coming out one day earlier than Marvel Studios initially announced – as the studio unexpectedly shifted the whole show’srelease schedule from Wednesdays to Tuesdays. And, with that, we don’t have to wait as long for the finale as originally advertised. That’s a win-win all around.
Marvel fans have spent the past month wondering why VisionQuest‘s day-of-release was changed, but they certainly weren’t complaining as it meant that they got to enjoy every single episode one day earlier than expected. And considering how epic the WandaVision Trilogy-closer has been, that’s most certainly a good thing.
The series has tackled Vision’s attempts to reconnect with his former self, finding emotion in the memories that simply exist in his head as archived files. The penultimate episode saw him make a major breakthrough, for the White Vision was never real – just a closed off version of the original Vision too afraid to deal with the color in his life because it also meant embracing the grief over the love that he had lost. And, with that, he had to face the reality that his beloved Wanda Maximoff had died (the Scarlet Witch seemingly perished in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), along with his son – Tommy’s brother – Billy Maximoff.
Of course, we know that this isn’t the fully story. Billy is alive and well, having survived the events of WandaVision by escaping the Hex and reincarnating in a brand new body ahead of Agatha All Along. Throughout that series, he and Agatha Harkness walked the Witches’ Road,successfully placing Tommy’s soul in a new body too – setting his reunion with Vision in motion. And now, with the finale looming, will Vision discover that Billy has been alive all along? We certainly hope so, for actor Joe Locke has been rumored to reprise his role in the Disney Plus series and he has yet to appear.
Moreover, we also know that there are questions marks surrounding Wanda’s fate, with fans convinced that she’s still alive and will return at some point within the next year for either Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. If that truly is the case, the long-awaited Maximoff family reunion could very well be almost upon us.
But before that, we have the finale of VisionQuest, as Vision and Ultron will seemingly do battle one more time. Has the latter’s humanity allowed him to see Vision as a son completely, or will his new love for Jocasta make him a liability? We’ll have to wait and see, but the good news is that we won’t have to wait much longer!
