I love the unintentional savagery when Vision shuts down banners attempted threat.

When Vision asks Banner what they’d actually do if he’s a monster, I love this little moment cause he’s not even trying to sound tough or threatening. He’s just genuinely curious how they would possibly deal with that situation.

Man, Bettany is so good as The Vision

Somehow he feels under appreciated somehow

I forget which documentary it was but Favreau said he chose Paul Bettany as Jarvis because of his dull tone of voice

HiddenStoat2025-12-25 22:28

Paul Bettany is so good in everything he does! His turn as the Prince of Orange in Sharpe's Waterloo is maybe 10 minutes of screen time, but is absolutely hilarious, horrifying and scene stealing every time.

And everybody else here NOT sitting on a cushion!

Ah, I see you’ve changed your stars. Good for you, lad.

Loganp8122025-12-30 19:11

He’s great as the doctor in Master And Commander too. I wish that movie got a sequel.

0rtmo2025-12-26 11:00

his voice fits him so well

revolutionaryartist42025-12-27 09:15

He may be my favorite part of the MCU. I was always a Vision fan in the comics, but Bettany made me even more of a fan.

TalkinTrek2025-12-25 14:43

Vision is never really the same after Ultron. Not to say future Vision content is bad, but he goes from an enlightened digital demigod to a more traditional, Data-y android kind of character. Would have liked more time with the first version.

orangeworker2025-12-25 15:26

I feel like we got a glimpse of the enlightened version with the White Vision in WandaVision. 🤞

fearnodarkness12025-12-25 18:55

It's a shame we're going on 5 years without a mention / appearance of him.

mshelbz2025-12-25 20:14

VisionQuest is coming out in 2026

Perfect-Zebra-36112025-12-26 09:17

Theyre a small indie studio they cant handle all of that

Nibbanocker2025-12-25 16:09

I head canon it as he's trying to blend in with humans better to connect with and understand them. He says he wishes to learn and understand things, like the stone in his head. So him mellowing out and acting more human is the result of him learning. His wisdom is still there especially in civil war when the avengers debate the accords and imo nearly got me to agree with Tony. "We invite challenge. Challenge invites conflict. And conflict breeds catastrophe"

johnatello672025-12-25 16:20

I'll be honest, chief. I don't think that's "headcanon", I think it's his character arc and you have understood it properly. Vision is meant to be a consciousness that grows and evolves like any person, it's just that in AoU he's a literal newborn. Of course he becomes a different person once he spends more time socializing.

LeoNickle2025-12-25 21:03

This doesn't actually happen in real life though like I am still baby.

haolee5102025-12-26 08:31

It does! If current you's consciousness is put back to your body when you were a baby, you're likely to make different choices than you originally did. Like buying that Apple stock all those years ago...

No_Orchid_98972025-12-25 19:07

Yeah I loved his little arc or development shown in Civil War. Showed him trying to learn how to act appropriately with humans - the entering Wanda's room in the wrong way, the cooking her food. And the line you quote here is one of my favourites from him

ExultantSandwich2025-12-25 23:49

I love that part in Civil War when Clint causes an explosion to distract him and get Wanda out of the Avengers compound, he’s like sleeping, floating in the air in the corner of the room. So eerie

Comfortable_Clerk_602025-12-26 05:52

Do you think Vision ever likes sleep floats? Cause that is both hilarious and terrifying to think about

RugDougCometh2025-12-26 06:18

He’s doing it *just* below Wanda too!

Dedli2025-12-25 16:18

What is grief, if not love persevering?

StepByStepGamer2025-12-25 21:43

What is beef if not cow persevering.

jojopojo642025-12-26 11:29

Fuck you I was eating some beef and nearly spewed it out ugly laughing. Fucking brilliant lmao

LockmanCapulet2025-12-25 18:33

This is an element of why I love AoU so much-- despite being sci-fi it feels grandiose and mythological.

DefNotAShark2025-12-25 19:12

I think this is more a side effect of Vision mostly engaging with humans after AoU. These philosophical conversations would be out of place with most of the Avengers. Peak Vision is when he’s speaking with Ultron at the end of AoU, and when he’s speaking to himself in WandaVision, because these were both characters where that enlightened type of dialogue fits the interaction.

the-tominatrix2025-12-29 13:21

Idk I really disagree with this. Every project he’s in, he’s passive, peaceful, and dropping banger quotes. I feel his very intimate relationship with Wanda may just be clouding your judgement

TalkinTrek2025-12-29 13:41

I didn't even mention Wanda

AdhesivenessTotal3402025-12-25 15:36

Paul did great at that sense of everything was logical when he was first activated… Created? He was taking everything in from having a more human-like existence, but still relying on his logic, programming, etc. But logically neutral… not fire and brimstone logic like Ultron intended and willing to learn or take in more data before accessing next actions. Then he gained more human emotion, even within just a view moments of dialogue. Again just a great job on Paul Bettany as literally bringing the character to life.

revolutionaryartist42025-12-27 09:17

It’s amazing how much Vision developed in such a short span of time, and it’s almost all due to Bettany’s performance that nothing ever feels rushed or forced.

Edboy7962025-12-25 16:47

His final dialog with the actual monster

Ultron: you're incredibly naive.

Vision: I was born yesterday

Cooper_Sharpy2025-12-25 19:50

“Something isn’t beautiful because it lasts” is the best line in the MCU in my opinion. He has like 30 minutes of screen time total (not counting Wandavision) and he’s easily one of the most quotable characters.

Also looking at the current state of the MCU, he was right. We had the golden years and it’s over. Hopefully they can pull something incredible with Doomsday, time will tell.

BigXThaSpud2025-12-25 20:14

For most quotable, I don't think you can take anyone other than the big Grape himself. Thanos single-handedly spawned an amount of memes that unironically probably landed in the triple digits. He was absolutely fluent in Instagram captions, and even though Vision was good, nothing comes close to Prune juice over there.

Cooper_Sharpy2025-12-25 20:17

Yea but his quips are all pertaining to him being inevitable or whatever. Vision is waxing philosophy on a different level and his quotes pertain to our perceived shared reality.

The_Abjectator2025-12-26 00:47

Yeah, Thanos represents the self-righteous, oblivious pseudo-wisdom of social media; while Vision represents an earnest wisdom that only comes from the over-abundance of knowledge that creates doubt and authenticity.

So kind of what the internet can be in small spurts, on occasion at its best.

normanlee2025-12-25 20:33

"What is grief, if not love persevering?"

Cooper_Sharpy2025-12-25 20:56

That’s number 2 for me.

badken2025-12-26 06:18

Geez, a little harsh, eh? I mean, you don't have to call it shit just because you don't like it.

Middle_Cranberry_5492025-12-26 02:46

I like this line more, but only because it feels a little less cliche.
The idea that 'nothing is permanent and there's a beauty in that impermanence.' is a great message worth repeating. But 'Grief is just the love you feel for someone living on after they've left.' is a soothing balm on tender emotions that could make the difference between someone getting through something tragic or being shut down by it.

haolee5102025-12-26 08:29

Coincidentally, Andrew Garfield had said a similar quote on a talk show where he discussed coming to terms with his mother passing away. "Grief is all the love you didn't get to express".

jojopojo642025-12-26 11:22

Oh God that had me instantly tearing up without warning because it's such a raw quote.

Having lost people I feel it hard.

DigitalSterling2025-12-26 20:41

Ive always liked how Chance The Rapper put it

Grief is love in a thunderstorm

British_Rover2025-12-25 20:58

Not from Age of Ultron but I think this one hits just as hard.

“What is grief, if not love persevering?

Cooper_Sharpy2025-12-25 21:11

Yup, he speaks with such a unique inflection, reminds me of Yoda almost. Just spouting wisdom.

VelocityGrrl392025-12-26 00:55

Paul Bethany is a superb actor.

Edboy7962025-12-26 01:00

So superb in fact, he's had the pleasure of finally getting to work with none other than Paul Bettany at the end of Wandavision

jojopojo642025-12-26 11:26

"Would intimacy with one's doppelganger be considered homoerotic or masturbation?"

btmattocks2025-12-26 00:09

The best line is from Thor IMO . . . "All words are made up." It's so zen, and equally casually delivered.

BZenMojo2025-12-26 19:15

Capturing the increasing unseriousness of Thor and his brilliance was a delicate balance in Ragnarok that Love and Thunder flopped by trying to drag down the other characters to his level instead of letting him just be both smart and a dumbass. Sorry, but "Mjolnir didn't choose Jane, Thor did and Mjolnir obeyed" was such a copout. Jane is the real hero of the first two Thors. She deserved the mantle on her own terms.

revolutionaryartist42025-12-27 09:13

Fanboys are so absolutist. Something is either the best thing ever or it’s awful.

ebietoo2025-12-25 22:17
