He might have been transformed from a walking nuke to a polo-neck-wearing buffoon when it turned out he was way too powerful to accommodate in the MCU, but Vision was a great character. Is a great character, since he's coming back.

He was also at the centre of one of the most complex but genuinely believable romantic relationships in the franchise as he and Scarlet Witch were unified by their otherness - and their will to understand who and what they are - and fell in love. Unfortunately, because the love of a witch and a robot is forbidden possibly, it was always going to end badly, what with an Infinity Stone in the middle of Vision's forehead.

Rather than allowing himself to be killed for it, Vision did his most human thing, giving up his life and his love for Scarlet Witch for the good of the universe. It was as touching as it was tragic. And the worst of it is that it proves inconsequential, but that's sort of the point: Thanos is so powerful at that point that even the greatest heroic act means nothing.
