From his first introduction in Avengers #57, the Vision has always blurred the lines between horror and heroism. By exploring the character's comic book origins and examining real-life attitudes towards robots and AI, Josh from Panels to Pixels explores what makes the supernatural synthezoid so creepy.

Vision is so badass. Ultron-5 created him to become a slave but he chose to defy his programming the minute he was born and join the Avengers. Plus he put Tony’s arrogant ass in his place.

You said Vision made a heel turn ,but to make a heel turn ,you must be a good guy that turns bad, but what you ment to say is Vision made a face turn. A face turn is a bad guy turning good .

@richardcoleman3425 3 жыл бұрын

Technically, both are correct. The Vision's body is that of the original Human Torch, a good guy; his brainwave pattern is derived from Wonder Man, another good guy who albeit, briefly took a wrong path that led to embezzlement and his subsequent physical transformation at the hands of the original Baron Zemo - he fought the Avengers alongside the Masters of Evil but came good again at the end and aided the Avengers in defeating Zemo and his cronies. Vision was then created by Ultron as a tool, utilised in defeating the Avengers; however, his basic "personality" could not accept this, and he rebelled against Ultron's programming. So, in this instance, the comment in the video is both correct and incorrect at the same time - a sort of Schrödinger's Josh. ;)

Something that I've been wondering about is that if Vision is a synthezoid and is every inch a human being, but all his bodily organs are constructed of synthetic materials, then when Vision was showed disassembled in the SWORD lab in WandaVision, why did he have wires coming out of his disconnected head and neck, similar to the stereotypical android such as Data from Star Trek?

@ourkeving 3 жыл бұрын

They've veered from the comics which is a pity. But explaining a synthezoid might have been too much to cram into a movie already long and busy.

@radicalross7700 9 ай бұрын

Only John Byrne can answer that. Although to me, it looked like Byrne was trying to turn the Vision into a version of Data, which included erasing his emotions and "bleaching" his skin to match Data's.

What is important to understanding comics of the time is that superheroes were a new (and alien) concept for comic book writers. Before the advent of superheroes comic book writers were of three distinct ilks: romance comics, horror comics, and “manly adventure tales” (soldiers, cowboys, spacemen, etc). When asks to write superhero stories, each writer went back to o what they knew. That’s why all the early Spider-Man stories read like romance comics with overblown themes of teenage relationship angst.

but the thing is superheros werent an alien concept because we had them in the golden age DC comics came out with superman in 1938 i think and batman a year later then marvel at the time known as timley comics had cap for ww2 propaganda stories and so on

@andrewjohnson6716 3 жыл бұрын

Isaac Asimov did not introduce the word “robot” to the English language. If you ever read the anthology I, Robot one of the things you’ll notice is that at no point does Asimov explain what the word means. That is because the word had been in common usage in English for thirty years. It was created by the writer of the play Rossum’s Universal Robots which ironically was about synthezoids like the Vision, rather than our current idea of robots. It was popularized by the anti-soviet movements of the time.

Gardner Fox revived an old character as an android around the same time in JLA, Red Tornado. I wonder if he an Thomas coordinated that, since the two men were friends.

Another great video, Josh! Vision is an awesome character, and in comics has really been put through the wringer over the years. Those old-school artists and writers really knew their craft, whereas todays self-styled "creatives", who should be standing on the shoulders of those Silver Age giants, barely have their feet on the bottom rung of the crab-ladder... (in my humble opinion). Stay safe, Dude. :)

Asimov didn't introduce the word "robot" to the English-speaking world. Have you never heard of the play "R.U.R" by Karol Kapek, first performed in 1921 and then translated into 30 languages by 1923? It was very popular in its time in both Europe and North America.
