Marvel's latest sci-fi miniseries, VisionQuest, has officially made history. The eight-episode show, which concluded this week, has seen its finale earn a jaw-dropping 9.3 rating on IMDb, tying it with the best-rated episode in Marvel TV history. That's a massive achievement for a series that many fans had high hopes for—and it seems those hopes were not only met but exceeded.
The finale, which aired on Tuesday, delivered a satisfying conclusion to Vision's journey while also setting the stage for the next big MCU crossover event. Critics and audiences alike have praised the show for its smart writing, emotional depth, and standout performances, particularly from Paul Bettany as Vision and James Spader as Ultron. The series currently holds an 84% critics' score and an 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying its place as one of Marvel's most well-received TV efforts.
But the real buzz is around the finale's IMDb rating. With a 9.3, it now shares the top spot with the Season 2 finale of Loki, which also scored 9.3. For context, the highest-rated episodes of WandaVision sit at 8.9, and even the acclaimed Daredevil: Born Again finale managed a 9.4. This puts VisionQuest in rarefied air, especially for a miniseries that wasn't expected to break records.
The finale also delivered two post-credits scenes that have fans buzzing. The first teases Ultron's return, as he contemplates resurrecting a destroyed AI. The second, more shocking scene, takes place at Mount Wundagore and hints at Wanda Maximoff's possible resurrection, despite Elizabeth Olsen previously stating she wouldn't appear in Avengers: Doomsday. This has led to rampant speculation that she might still show up in the upcoming film, even though her name wasn't in the initial casting announcement.
For those who haven't caught up yet, VisionQuest follows Vision as he regains his memories and grapples with his identity, all while dealing with the fallout from WandaVision. The series has been praised for its exploration of grief, love, and what it means to be human—or in Vision's case, a synthezoid. It's a must-watch for any MCU fan, and the finale alone is worth the price of admission.
