The Vision and G.I. Robot



So, Paul Bettany will be joining Elizabeth Olsen for the Vision and Scarlet Witch series on Disney's streaming service.  Whether this means that The Vision somehow survives after the events of Avengers: Endgame or that the show will take place in the past remains to be seen.  I'm just glad we will get the chance to see these characters together again, I always wanted more of them in their film appearances.

Always great to see G.I. Robot. I'm glad I am not the only one with love for J.A.K.E.

Nice one! I'd still love to see G.I. ROBOT team-up with MACHINE MAN.
I am not a robot.

I collected and read through the year-long Vision and the Scarlet Witch maxi-series, and loved seeing their relationship, and their balance of superheroing and domestic life, including the birth of their twins. I considered them, at the time, to be one of the Great Romances in comics (albeit one of the weirder ones). Only recently have I learned what happened to that family, and I feel rather cheated. I hope Earth-199999 works better for them than Earth-616.

Well, at least the Richardses are still together and fairly solid as a family.

I never really understood the ending to Weird War Tales. J.A.K.E. and the Creature Commandos were going to be shot and at the last minute shot off into space and lost. This was pre-Crisis. Years later they were reintroduced in a new mini-series but have not been back since then.

I still feel that Steve Rogers should have replied to the Vision's over-simplistic analysis of superheroics (in CAPT.AMERICA: CIVIL WAR) like so.


"Misguided appeasement breeds overconfidence.
Overconfidence invites unprovoked aggression.
Unprovoked aggression results in needless war."

"We learned that lesson the hard way in September of 1939. But, apparently, most of us have chosen to forget that lesson!

"One ringy-dingy. Two ringy-dingies. Three ring...Oh!
Goodness gracious, hello! Is this the party to whom I am speaking?
General Malaise? How are you doing today, general? What's that?
You think you have a cold coming on? Then, perhaps, you should stay out of the draft! Snort-snort-snort!!"

Carycomic said...

I only know Wallace and Gromit...and Sammy "The Golfer" Sneed.

Is Sammy any relation to Georgia Gymdog Sydney Sneed?

Carycomic said...

Not that I know of.

I also don't know what Gambit's name is doing among the tags at the bottom of the article. Seeing as how Vision doesn't even mention his name in the word balloon!
