Marvel’s 8-Part VisionQuest Miniseries Officially Sets a Record With Its Finale
VisionQuest’s ratings shift
The finale initially reached 9.5 on IMDb, matching Loki’s Season 2 finale, but its rating later changed. It was reported at 9.4 before falling to 9.3. On Rotten Tomatoes, VisionQuest has an 84% critics’ score and an 85% audience score.
For comparison, WandaVision’s Episodes 5 and 8 each have an 8.9 rating, while Agatha All Along’s Episode 9 has a 9.0. Daredevil: Born Again’s Season 2 finale is rated 9.4, and its Episode 4, along with Episodes 9 and 10 of X-Men ’97’s first season, has a 9.3.
Praise for the performances
Critics praised VisionQuest for resolving parts of a story that began in 2021. Reviews described the series as “smart, entertaining, and clever,” and singled out Paul Bettany and James Spader for their performances as Vision and Ultron.
The finale aired Tuesday night and includes two post-credits scenes. Those scenes extend the story beyond Vision’s reunion with his sons, Tommy and Billy Maximoff, played by Ruaridh Mollica and Joe Locke.
Two scenes point ahead
In the first scene, Ultron is alive but has stopped pursuing his plan to destroy humanity. He has Joosta’s AI drive and considers restoring her after Virgil, also played by Spader, destroys her. Together, the scenes connect VisionQuest to the ongoing MCU story and tease what may follow in Avengers: Doomsday and beyond.
