WandaVision Finale Ending EXPLAINED

3. White Vision Could Become The Real Vision

Speaking of eventual returns, for as much as WandaVision itself was a brilliant meditation on trauma and grief, it's also fair to say that the series has left the door open for Wanda's losses to become only temporary. (Not that that's a criticism or anything.)

Vision and Wanda say as much as they say goodbye in the episode's beautifully rendered closing moments, and given the latter hears her children while reading from the Darkhold, the possibility of Vision making a full return shouldn't be ruled out either.

The real Vision (or Vision, Vision) was able to outdo his White Vision counterpart by fighting with words, not weapons. By pointing out the flawed logic in the android's own programming, Vision was able to convince his doppelgänger to leave the battle and exit stage Poochie the Dog. However, the finale doesn't make clear whether White Vision was attempting to destroy himself at that moment, or whether he was searching for a new purpose now that his physical memories had been unlocked.

This is an important detail to leave unresolved, and particularly so, once you consider the source of inspiration behind White Vision. The character derives from John Byrne's Vision Quest storyline, and where a cold, emotionless Vision emerged, but it was only a matter of time until he had his emotions restored along with his red and green paint job.

Given Wanda's Vision restored the android's memories, might it be possible that imbuing part of the Mind Stone's power in the android bring her old Vis back? One can only hope so - it's the least she deserves after all that's happened.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
