VisionQuesthas premiered, and so far it’s looking like it will fall into the category of hit shows that Marvel Studios has put out on Disney+. The show continues the story of WandaVision,examining how the Vision (Paul Bettany) tries to find himself and rebuild (literally and figuratively) after being killed by Thanos. After his presence gets exposed, Vision learns that he and Wanda’s fantasy son, Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica), is in danger and need his help, sending him on a heartfelt mission he can barely comprehend in his new form as the more detached and robotic model known as White Vision.

In just two episodes, VisionQuesthas begun to explore several complicated layers of storytelling. It not only positions the show to be a prestige-level offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also stands as yet another example of a somewhat tragic trend that’s been happening in the MCU over the last few years. And this time, there’s no hope left for a comeback.
MCU Disney+ Series Are Hitting Their Peak… Right At The End
VisionQuestis a prime example of the trend that’s been running through Marvel TV during the last few years: ending the best content the franchise is putting out, just when it’s hitting its sweet spot.
Wonder Manwas an Emmy-nominated breakout that earned itself a second season back in March; Marvel canceled it in July. Daredevil: Born Again earned back its acclaim in Season 2 after a rocky Season 1, and set the stage for a wild Season 3 that will see the Netflix Defenders team reunite. Then Marvel canceled the show beforeBorn Again Season 3 premiered. That’s carved off a certain amount of the hype for the Final Season, since fans assume the Defenders reunion won’t lead to anything major.
That may not be the case: Marvel could have a new show or movie concept that will continue the Defenders saga – but as of now, fans don’t know about it and have no real reason to hope for it. VisionQuest is taking bold swings like bringing years of MCU lore together in a story about the robotic/AI characters of the franchise – including re-introducing the threat of James Spader’s Ultron. But where does that go from here? After VisionQuest,we have zero indication that The Vision or any characters associated with him are appearing in a future MCU project. As far as we know, this could bethe end of these WandaVision characters and their saga.

Marvel Zombieswas a success, and it has been announced that it will continue with three different installments that all sound exciting to fans: The Winter Soldier, Fist of Konshu, and The Last Guardian.But on the live-action side, the MCU is moving in a whole new direction with Zodiac, a spy thriller that will launch during a whole new phase of the MCU. Fans don’t have any way to invest in that show yet, and with Daredevil: Born Againending early in 2027, it could be a long wait until Zodiacpremieres.
This era of Marvel Disney+ (live-action) series is ending, just when it seems like that wing of the franchise is finding its stride, and VisionQuestis a stark reminder of that tragedy. MCU fans had to suffer through a lot of franchise growing pains to get to this point; while the next era of Disney+ shows may be great, it doesn’t guarantee the characters and shows we’re loving right now are going to continue on. And with the way the MCU has been in the last few years, there’s no guarantee we’ll see them pop up elsewhere, either.
