VisionQuest is already free to stream ‣ Diverse Daily

Marvel has once again wowed audiences with its latest streaming series, VisionQuest. Now that it has concluded its first season with an incredible sendoff, all eight episodes of VisionQuest are available to paying subscribers on Disney+. However, Marvel is now allowing fans to stream the show’s first episode for free.

A sequel to both WandaVision and Agatha All Along, this new Marvel series follows the resurrected android Vision as he tries to rediscover who he is. While on the run from a mysterious bounty hunter, he teams up with some surprising allies: his nemesis Ultron and his reincarnated son, Tommy. He also tries to figure things out with the help of some other AI characters made by Iron Man, who have appeared in past Marvel projects.

VisionQuest currently has an 84% “Fresh” score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as an 85% rating from audiences on the Popcornmeter. The Marvel Cinematic Universe shines like this when stories explore deeper philosophical themes, particularly identity and grief. This has made shows like WandaVision and Loki some of the MCU’s best projects. And now, VisionQuest delivers a thrilling, emotional conclusion to the story WandaVision set up around Vision and his family, with actor Paul Bettany giving an exemplary performance as the titular Avenger.

Stream VisionQuest episode 1 on YouTube

Begin Vision’s latest journey for free

Earlier this week, Marvel Entertainment added the first episode of VisionQuest to its YouTube channel, allowing MCU fans to sample the hit series for free. While YouTube typically lets users stream movies and TV shows for free with ads, VisionQuest is a special case: a video uploaded to Marvel’s company channel. If you’re not sure if you want to subscribe to Disney+ to watch the full series, you can watch the pilot on YouTube and see where things go from there.

This isn’t the first time Marvel has offered episodes of its Disney+ streaming shows for free. Right now, the studio has the first three episodes of WandaVision on its YouTube channel. This bonus deal is quite fitting, given that WandaVision started the journey that VisionQuest ended. This will make it easier for audiences to refresh themselves on the story of Vision and his family so far.

Though the first episode of VisionQuest is free to watch on YouTube, Marvel fans will want to see the series all the way through on Disney+. The story’s events could play a huge part in Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to premiere next month. One post-credit scene, in particular, has delivered a massive twist involving two of Marvel’s most powerful characters that should come into play in Marvel’s next movie.

All in all, the series finally showed Vision reuniting with both of his sons after several years apart. With Avengers: Doomsday just weeks away, audiences could see this superpowered family take part in the fight against Doctor Doom in the film, or even in the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars. Either way, VisionQuest demands to be seen with its poignant, impactful story.
