Show notes

Vision Quest just kicked things into high gear!

Marvel surprised us with TWO new episodes, Reboot and Malware, bringing us to the halfway point of the series with some enormous revelations.

This week on Marvel Maniac, Eric Sequeira (Mr. Honest) dives into Vision's emotional journey with Tommy Maximoff, the mysterious Butcherbird Killer, the growing questions surrounding artificial intelligence, and the incredible chemistry between Paul Bettany and James Spader.

Plus, the Ten Rings connection, some wild theories about what's coming next, and a midseason cliffhanger that changes everything.

Two episodes. One aftershow. Plenty to unpack.

Full spoilers for Vision Quest Episodes 3 & 4!
