Every Marvel WandaVision Trilogy Show Ranked: Which Chapter Completes the Story Best?
A trilogy about grief and family
The story began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along before reaching its conclusion in VisionQuest. Together, the shows explore grief and family through mothers, fathers and children searching for purpose and belonging.
The trilogy favors character and meaning over action, following people who connect through shared pain and move into new stages of their lives. Ranking the shows is difficult, but the comparison is presented as a celebration of Marvel’s creative risk.
Wanda creates an ideal life
Created and written by Jac Schaeffer, WandaVision takes place after Avengers: Endgame. Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, builds a life inspired by classic sitcoms, with Vision alive and twins in the family.
The illusion is complicated by S.W.O.R.D. and Agnes, a neighbor played by Kathryn Hahn. Wanda has also enslaved a town to maintain the life she wants. The show examines her trauma and the destructive force of grief, while considering how grief can also lead to growth.
Olsen’s performance is a major strength, supported by Paul Bettany, Hahn and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. The finale feels rushed and unsatisfying, and the later Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is criticized for how it handles Wanda.
Vision faces his new reality
Set about 18 months after Agatha All Along, VisionQuest follows Vision as he adjusts to a new life while carrying memories from his former one. Several AIs are in his programming, including E.D.I.T.H., F.R.I.D.A.Y., J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron.
A bounty hunter puts Vision in danger, leading him to reunite with his lost son, Tommy. The series gives attention to the complicated bonds between fathers and sons, especially the relationship between Vision and Ultron.
The Vision-Tommy connection is also central, while the Vision-Ultron dynamic stands out as a father-son story. Bettany and James Spader are praised for their chemistry and for bringing force to the screenplay.
