My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of Visionquest

Marvel right now have been doing fairly well it comes to there new movies with Spider-Man: Brand New Day being perhaps the best selling Spider-Man of all time. There it only makes sense that they try and do the same thing with there shows however in order for that to happen they have to actually promote there shows something which they haven't done with the show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that sees one trilogy come to a close with the show in question being called simply just "Visionquest" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is Vision finds his secluded live style under threat when someone tries to assassinate him. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. The plot in these first two episodes was to be frank a really good one as we not only get a really good idea of what Vision has been up to since we last saw him in Wandavision but we also get a good idea of that is at stake for this character with the plot doing a good job of feeling epic but on a Tv show scale. Plot wise where these episodes do somewhat start to fail is in the fact that not alot about what this new version of Vision has been up is explained all that well and the things that do get explained have to no relevance in the episodes plot with even the plot of the first episode taking a good while to rally get going but that is something that is understandable as the first episode does have alot of plot to set up in the first place something which of course isn't the case for episode two which does have it's own problems plot namely being the fact that not alot actually happens plot wise in that episode with the episode not really focusing that much on plot but rather on telling a characters backstory which this early into the show wasn't needed as we should still be getting plot for the show whereas a backstory episode for this show very easily could be around episode three maybe episode four with the plot of these episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is this shows executive producer Paul Bettany as White Vision and James Spader as Ultron. Also starring in these episodes is Ruaridh Mollica as Thomas Shepherd , Todd Stashwick as Paladin , Lauren Morais as Lisa Molinari , Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y. , Diane Morgan as Handler , Polly Frame as Fiona Guthrie , Henry Lewis as Dum-E , Jonathan Sayer as U , Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. , Ben Crompton as Clancy  and James D'Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S..

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. The fact that these episodes have some really good acting in them was something that was both surprising and yet at the same time not entirely surprising it's surprising in that the episodes do have alot of what are to Americans alot of unknown names and faces in them but in saying this this is is why it's also not that surprising as those unknown names and faces are fairly well known names over here in the UK with of course the episodes more established actors also turning in some really good performances in there own right. With the best actor in these first two episodes without a shadow of a doubt being Paul Bettany as White Vision as he does have alot of scenes in both of these first two episodes alone that remind of us why he was such a good actor prior to joining the MCU as he does the impossible and that's make you feel something for a robot this is something that is very hard to do as robots be design are not meant to have emotion or show you emotion and that's something that he does really well in both of these episode and heck it wouldn't be all that surprising if at somepoint in the near future he was nominated for an award for his acting in these two episodes alone as he is just that good with his own natural charm and charisma really shining through in these episodes. With the acting that's in these first two episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes are so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these episodes.

Doing the CGI for these episodes is unknown as there are no effects companies listed anywhere on the shows IMDB page. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With both of the episodes having some really good CGI in them as while of course the effects in these episodes won't look anywhere near as good as the effects in the movies they do still look really good with the episodes only really using CGI when they have to and not because they can do. This is something that does make the episodes effects alot more better as now they have something there on the set to be better blended with and it is something that is actually becoming more and more common place in marvel shows where alot of them are having more practical effects and doing things for real then they are having CGI animated effects in them and it's something that will always look so much more better especially taking into account that alot of the characters in these first two episodes are robots which is somethin that will always require some amount of CGI work done to make them look good and even Ultron who does appear in his robot form in episode one does look really good again tho he's not going to look as good as he did in Age Of Ultron but that's just because of the fact that that film had the budget t make him look good whereas this show has to spread it's effects budget across eight episodes.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show is meant to be the conclusion of a trilogy of a shows that started back with Wandavision altho it technically should be a quadrilogy as the storyline was also continued in Doctor Strange And The Multiverse of Madness. With these first two episodes even revealing that Thomas Shepherd is actually Tommy Maximoff with it being revealed that at some point after the events of Agatha All Along he pretty much started to believe that Wanda and Vision aren't his real parents with him even seeing Vision as more of a nightmarish character and whilst the reveal of him being Tommy was good hook to end episode one one as it does make you want to watch the next episode this is the kind of reveal that might have worked better more towards the middle and end of the series and not at the start of the series as unless the makers of this show are going to pull an amazing twist of with this character there's not really all that much that they can do with him now as a character other then have him bond with Vision in the real world. Which in all fairness was something that the show would have done anyways regardless of when the reveal happened but that big twist of him being Tommy would have worked all the more if it was more towards the end of the show as then we would have had the chance to see some hints as to who he might be and it would have given us the audience the chance to make theories on who he might be instead of just having it said out loud by Tommy himself, however tho in saying this it is understandable as to why this big reveal happened here in episode one as it does give you a good hook for episode two and it does make you want to watch that next episode which is something that a good first episode should do and to be far episode two does follow up on this really well even having Vision rescue Tommy from Paladin's hands at the end of the episode.

Whilst interms of action episode two is easily the better of the two episodes interms of plot and character episode one is the better of the two episodes. This is something that is kind of understandable as the first episode does have alot of things to set up and therefor it does have to spend alot of time on the plot and alot of the characters whereas with episode two the makers of this show can just leap into the good stuff knowing full well that we would have seen the first episode which is fair enough as episode two was released at the same time as episode one but it still would have been nice if we did get more plot given t us in the second episode as all we get is Tommy's backstory and how he and possible love interest Lisa Molinari first met and escaped a prison bus together which was nice to see as Lisa Molinari does seem like a fun character. However it was something that wasn't needed this early on in the series as those scenes don't give us anything new in regards to plot that just show us what Tommy has mostly been up to since the last time we saw him and that's it and heck they don't reveal anything interesting about his character in those scenes other then the fact that he has powers which was something that we already knew thanks to Wandavision but in all fairness they did need to have Lisa find out that he had powers and having it be when there trying to escape the prison bus and a borderline abusive guard is something that does make sense but we don't get to see those powers play a part of the main plot of episode two which makes you wonder why that scene was even included in the first place as if it's to set up that he does have these powers then why not set it up an episode or two before he uses them in the main plot as now odds are we are going to forget that he has them by the time that he gets around to using them in the shows main plot.

Much like with the release of Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord this show will be doing two episode drops a week until episode six as then the final two episodes will release one a week. To be frank this does feel like Disney+ is very slowly getting ready to just drop entire seasons of a show in one sitting as they've just released Coven Academy's first twenty one episode season in one go but that kind of drop was done on Freeform when it came to there own streaming service and Hulu the episodes where then cut down and edited into a ten episode season which was still released all in one go heck they even released Vampirina: Teenage Vampire's second season all in one go and while this is fine for something like Netflix of Apple TV for Disney+ you do expect the drops to be weekly as your not going to get the whole family to sit down and watch an entire season of a show in one sitting. With this being a show that is better released one episode at a time as then it would give us the audience a chance to theorize about what's going to happen next and while this is something that can still happen due to the amount of episodes that are being dropped it's not something that can have the same amount of impact as it would have if it was just one episode a week with a good way to do this for this show and to give the show a good hook for episode two being if the episode ended right before it was revealed who Thomas really was as that way us the audience could spend the entire week guessing in who he might be with this having the added benefit of making the numbers for Disney+ be up higher for alot more longer something which might have happened with Daredevil: Born Again.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty three minuets and twenty one seconds with episode two having a grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and six seconds. To be frank it is quite hard to fully judge the running time of either episode as both of them do have a decent amount of running time but you do feel that running time alot in the early parts of episode one just due to show much plot is being thrown at you whereas with episode it does feel like that that episode really could have been alot more shorter as outside of the death of J.A.R.V.I.S. there really isn't much of a reason to go back and watch that episode with both episodes having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet despite both of these episodes having some really good running times to them neither of episodes uses there running time wisely as neither episode takes the time to fully develop thete plot this is something that does make some sense as these are only the first two episodes of the show but given the fact that this show is just eight episodes long there really does need to be plot development happening either in episode two or at the latest episode three as it would be far to late to start it after that as alot of people would have switched the show of if the show isn't leading anywhere good plot wise with the makes of this show putting more thought into redeeming Ultron then they did into giving either episode some plot development. The same thing is also true for the episodes character development altho to be fair they have started to lay the groundwork for Tommy fully trusting Vision as he does come to rescue a beaten up and ear dead Vision at the end of the second episode and while characters like Vision , Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S. don't really need character development as they have the other films and shows to get there character development none of the shows new characters get any kind of character development with the makers of this show being more focused on fitting in as many UK comedy actors as they can then they in giving the characters character development but I really will admit that these episodes really do have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then as this is an actin show that really does mean that I have to actually talk abut the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well ten in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that. The action in both of these episodes whilst it's not bad it's also not as good as the action was in Daredevil: Born Again season 2 due to the fact that outside of two action scenes in the second episode the maskers of this show do cut away from the action alot of the time which granted is a good way to save on budget but in saying this this is an action show therefor we want to see the action and just just the start and end of it. With the best action scene in both of these episodes being the scene in episode two where version has to rescue Tommy from a mental hospital that Paladin has him captured in as we get to see Vision just mow through all of Paladin's men like there paper and yet when he does get to Tommy that's when the real trap is sprung as it's revealed that the room Tommy is in basically a giant EMP room and is shutting down all of Visions systems with it only being then that Paladin shows up and starts shooting at Vision with adamantium rounds with it only being when J.A.R.V.I.S. sacrifices himself that Vision is able to escape Paladin that is such a good action scene as it does does show us what this version of Vison can do and how he differs from the Vision that we had in the movies as this one is more ruthless and is willing to kill people whereas the original Vision would at first try to talk you down and then failing that would then and only then hurt you with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall both of these first two episodes are alot more better then the entirety of Lanterns simply because of the fact that things actually happen in these episodes yet at the same time tho neither episode is perfect as they both lack the very thing that the other has with both of them still being perfectly enjoyable episodes in there own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and with this jus being my first impressions of the show I won't be giving a rating however if i'm still watching the show when the final episode is released i'll do a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodea that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Agatha All Along TV Series

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been seeing alot of ups and downs recently with the TV side of things not really taking off all that well either. With the only two decent TV shows being What If and Wandavision and well the spin off of Wandavision has now jus5t aired it's first two episodes and well then since I was fan of Wandavision back when that show was first airing you all just knew that I simply had to check this show out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that's had more name changes then we've all had hot diners with the show in question being called simply just "Agatha All Along" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is three years after the events of Wandavision Agatha Harkness finds herself free of the spell that Wanda put her under but without her powers she embarks on a quest to get her powers back. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with the plot doing a good job of not only setting up what Agatha has to go through in the show but also catching us up on what the character ha been up to in the years since we last saw her in Wandavision however with all of that being said tho the plot of these first two episodes does also bit to generic with it being made painfully obvious what Agatha's arc is going to be for the rest of the show which does make the rest of the show feel a bit more predictable then what it might actually end up being and while there are some twists and reveals in the first episode that do make you want to watch the second episode there's nothing in that second episode to make you want to come back and watch further episodes of this show with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Kathryn Hahn as Agnes O'Connor / Agatha Harkness and Joe Locke as Teen. Also starring in these episodes is  Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davies , Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vida , Emma Caulfield Ford as Dottie Jones / Sarah Proctor , David Payton as Herb Feltman / John Collins , David Lengel as Phil Jones / Harold Proctor , Asif Ali as Norm Gentilucci / Abilash Tandon , Amos Glick as Dennis Webber , Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale , Ali Ahn as Alice Wu-Gulliver , Okwui Okpokwasili as Vertigo , Chau Naumova as Coyote , Bethany Curry as Crow , Athena Perample as Fox , Alicia Vela-Bailey as Owl , Britta Grant as Rat and Marina Mazepa as Snake.

Now then int6erms of what  personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all pf the actors that you expect a good performance from really delivering a good performance but at the same time tho the acting in these first two episodes really could have been alot better then what it actually was with alot of the new actors just not turning as good of a performance that we the audience know that they can deliver due to them delivering a good performance in other projects and yet here for one or another they just don't turn in that good of performance with them being really wooden at best which is something that really does bring down the overall quality of the acting that's in these episodes with the acting that's in these first two episodes not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these first episodes aren't that good as neither of them give these episodes actors a whole lot to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first lace which s something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in these first two episodes.

For once it's hard to tell who is actually doing the CGI for either one of these episodes as there are no effects companies listed anywhere online.  Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad as while there isn't alot of CGI to be found in both of these episodes what little CGI there is is used really well with it mainly being used to extend sets and remove wires and to that degree the CGI that's to be found in both of these episodes does look really good as that's what CGI should be used for extending what was already there on the day f filming and not be used to create something else entirely but at the same time given that this is show about witches these first episode could have used some of there effects budget to show us what these witches can do before they agree to go on this quest with Agatha but at the same time it was most likely decided not to use CGI  that much in these early episodes to save up on the effects budget so that they can have bigger and better effects when it comes to the second half of this show but at the some time you can still have small amounts of CGI in these early episodes and not have it effect your effects budget all that much you just have to be very smart about what becomes a CGI effects and what doesn't and that's really all there is to it.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

For those wondering the first episodes does have reveal that the dead that we see at the start of the episode is fact Wanda Maximoff who of course we are believed to have died at the end of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. However if you watch an earlier scene you'll notice that Agatha winks to the camera when she says that the person might not be dead and since we never get to see Elizabeth Olsen's face in the episode it does make you wonder if she'll cameo at the end of the show to reveal that she's actually still alive which would be an interesting way to bring the character back to life as it goes back to that age old rule of if we don't see the body on screen then did the character actually die and since we never saw Wanda's body at the end of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness then it is possible that she could be brought back and still be alive and it does make sense that this be the show be the ne to reference that movie as that movie is essentially the follow up to Wandavision only from Wanda's point of view where as this show is from Agatha's point of view despite them both being a sequel to Wandavision and heck it's even pretty much a guarantee that Teen is actually one of Wanda's kids as every single time he does go to mention who is parents are something covers his mouth so we the audience and even the characters can't hear him clearly something which does also come into play during the shows second episode as well.

Much like how Wandavision in it's early episodes especially served as a sendup to classic sitcoms of the past. This show especially in it's first episode serves as a sendup of cop shows in this case it was Yellowjackets however where as Wandavision only had the basic set up and plot of sitcom and really nothing more then that this show does take it a step further then that by having the actual characters be listed in the fake opening credits which was such a smart idea and was the best joke in both of these episodes as it's something that you don't even expect to be a thing as it wasn't a thing in Wandavision and heck even the fiction show that Agatha is starring in is meant to be based off of a dutch show that is basically called Wandavision which was a cute little joke but at the same time it really wasn't needed either and that's the same thing with alot of the jokes in both of these two episodes with alot of them being cute but not really laugh out loud funny with this being the case with alot of the stuff in episode where alot of their jokes just make the characters look either dumb or like there the bad guy and that's really it and while yes episode two is better then the first episode in alot of ways episode one tops episode two by having some painfully jokes in it which do make episode one the more fun episode to watch.

Episode two does top the first episode one in the way that we do get to see alot of fun interactions not only with Agatha and Teen but also between the coven members as well. As Agatha and Teen have to try and convince each member of the coven to join them whilst Agatha was secretly planning to just get them to hit her so that she can steal there power something which teen may or may not know about and with the coven members interacting we do get to see some fun interactions with all of them as alot of them haven't really met each other before now but at the same time tho those interactions don't give any member of the coven a chance to get across what there personality is like which isn't a problem for Debra Jo Rupp and Kathryn Hahn both of whom are of course reprising their roles from Wandavision and as a result of that s the fact that there characters personalities was already set up in that show but it does become a problem with the newer characters as there's nothing interesting about the characters personalities that lend themselves to some really interesting interactions with certain characters and while yes we do geta lot of quips from the coven members they mean nothing if you don't have personality and interesting interactions to back them up and heck the only member of the coven who does get some sort of personality apart from Agatha and Sharon Davies is Teen who does come across as being a bit of spunky type of a character and that;s really it and it's not enough to make either him or the rest of the coven members interesting characters.

Now then episode one has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty nine minuets and forty nine seconds whereas episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and twenty five seconds. With both of the episodes running time being some soldi running times for both of the episodes but at the same time episodes two could have been a tad bit shorter and episode one could have been a tad longer as episode one does have alot of things to set up where as episodes two doesn't have that problem and thus doesn't need to have a longer time in order to tell it's story as it very easily could have told it's story in a much more tighter thirty to thirty five minuets running time which would allow for the plot of the episode to be alot more focused then what it actually is and while episode one does have the opposite problem it has the problem of being two short as it has so many characters to introduce and as well as the plot of the show to introduce and still tell a really good story and it really can't do that with it's current running time and as a result of that is the fact that alot of episode does come across as feeling rushed as it has to hit certain plot points very quickly all of which could have been avoided if episode one had a much more longer running time but I will admit that both of these episode really do have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As while we do get only one action scene across both episodes which is something that does make sense as we are only a few episodes into this show it is still a good action scene and while it doesn't really show us what Agatha can do in a fight it doesn't really need to do that as she doesn't have her powers and so of course she won't be able to fight as well as she does when she does have her powers as she's more used to fighting with her powers something that we see in the final ever episode of Wandavision but at the same time we don't really gey to see what Teen brings to the team either as he spends alot of the action just stood there doing nothing instead of trying to do something to help the one person that he really wants to go down the witches road ad as a result of that is the fact that it would have made sense for him to help Agatha out in her fight against Rio and it would have given us the audience a chance to see just what it is that he brings to the team as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this show does have all of the potential in the world to be a decent follow up show to Wandavision but at the same time given that it's only eight episodes long it does need to start getting to all of the good stuff from a plot point of view ad have no filler scenes like we have in both of these episodes and it is something that does make these episodes seem alot more boring then what they actually are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to really use to get the images from these very episodes that I really used in this very post being the really great the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page simply just because of the fact that really due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are in this post really are all really from these very episodes and are really of course up and really on the really great the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
