Avengers 4: Incredible theory explains REAL reason Vision is in love with Scarlet Witch

While hype is building and speculation is growing over the events of next year’s Avengers 4, this theory actually takes a look back at the Marvel movies that have already happened.

And after being 93% Upvoted and supported by thousands of Reddit users, it’s certainly impressed.

The essence of it is that Vision wants complete autonomy of himself – but is held back by the control held by the sentience of the Mind Stone.

And who seems to have a level of control to trump that? Wanda.

User ObtuseOblong writes: “After rewatching Civil War recently I picked up on the moment Vision fell in ‘love’ with Wanda.

“Vision discusses in some depth that he is not necessarily in control of himself, and that the Mind Stone has influence over him. He hopes that by learning more about it, that he will eventually be able to control it one day and have complete autonomy.”

They continue: “Afterward, Hawkeye helps Wanda escape, Wanda uses her powers to push Vision through the ground in order to escape.

“I had always assumed that she just affected him on an atomic/physical level which gave her the ability to phase him in and out and also to move his body around, just like she would move around any other object.

“After rewatching I realised that as soon as Wanda attacks him, the Mind Stone glows bright red and from that point on she has control over him. Wanda is actually controlling the stone, which in turn controls Vision’s body.

“The first scene we see Wanda and Vision together after this point is the aftermath of the Airport scene.

“He embraces her, then goes to shoot Falcon down but accidentally hits Rhodey. Stark asks what happened, Vision responds that he was “distracted”. Tony says he didn’t think that was possible, Vision agrees.

“I think as soon as Wanda controlled the Mind Stone and escaped, Vision grew a strong affinity to her.”

The theory adds: “Not only is she the only person that could possibly understand how the mind stone affects him (given her circumstance), she also has the ability to control it which is something he desires more than anything.

“I also believe this is why Vision is so confident that Wanda can destroy the Mind Stone in Infinity War, despite this never coming up in conversation prior (that we see at least).

“He has seen first hand that she can control the stone – something no-one else has been able to do bar Thanos via the gauntlet.”

Of course, both characters perished in Infinity War thanks to Thanos – but Wanda, at least, is thought to be returning in some capacity; after Elizabeth Olsen was spotted attending reshoots.

As Vision died before the Snap – twice – it remains to be seen if and how he can be brought back.
