Highlights

1. I do like the narration by Vision, and then going into the episode, we see Vision not truly remembering he’s human; he’s carrying barrels that should hurt normal humans and doing stuff they shouldn’t. Vision has dived back to Edinburgh, where he’s sort of reliving the true Vision’s memories.

2. I love the fact that each AI has their own personality and jobs. This is what will shape the season up. I feel like the show has a hint of WandaVision in it, while also making it its own show with its own characters. I love that Vision is sort of adopting a family-like show.

3. It’s so funny that every AI has 3 jobs, some meaningful and important, and Vision simply describes Ultron as an “asshole”. Vision tells Ultron to use his human avatar, while the two bicker about Vision being a human when he is an AI and should simply be that.

4. We see two young adults running a con in a London pub. The kid begins to have flashbacks of White Vision, which visibly upsets him to the point where his friend is beginning to think he is having a panic attack. The young lad gets captured by the bounty hunter that attacked Vision.

What Didn’t Work

I get why this happened; it was simply a tease factor, but I would have loved to see the fight scene between Vision and the bounty hunters. Going into the end bit, when he snapped the guy’s neck was fantastic, and I just wish we got to see it.

Standout Character

Vision will be receiving this. He was absolutely great. Seeing this new side of Vision, which is somewhat different from the previous Vision we saw, was really interesting.

Favourite Moment

My favorite moment would be when Vision is working his pub duties and the landlady gets shot, and an army of soldiers run in and try to capture Vision, and they do not stop at trying to capture him; we then see the reveal of White Vision.
