Under-Development
When I look at scenes with the Vision, I see a clear lack of direction for the Vision's character development. First off he doesn't get enough of it, and second what his get is boring, out of place, and alienates him from the view. I know he's a robot, but in the comic it never feels like it. He feels a lot more human, and I feel like the direction they're leading him doesn't.
Under-Utilized
Let's be honest with ourselves, the Vision is a powerhouse, but only when the writers want him to be. When they need to take down Ultron? Powerhouse. When he's fighting in Civil War? Not so much. He's a powerhouse at their discretion, if he fights at all. Where was he when the events of Lagos went down? Seriously, the writers and and the Avengers are wasting the Vision.
Over-Designed
The Vision's costume is trash. The colours are disgusting, the design is blah and the cape MAKES NO SENSE How did he just magically summon a cape? Is that how he got all his sweaters? Let's talk about those sweaters, why did they choose to do that? Does it add to the story? No. Does it make sense? No. If you can't tell I really hate his costume.
Overly-Forced Romance
In the comics, Vision and Scarlet Witch are soul mates. They have a long and complex relationship that was set up long before it came to fruition. They failed to convey this in the films. I know there are time restraints, but they don't set up any kind of chemistry. He makes soup, she eats soup, boom love. The romantic subplot in Civil war was supposed to give the seen where she betrays the vision have emotional weight, but it fails. This romance made know sense.
In conclusion, I do not like like the Vision, and these are the reasons why. That's my opinion, and I would love to hear yours down below. Come back Friday for more content and until then have a very fine day.
