Marvel Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over VISIONQUEST's Shocking AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Post-Credits Scene
Marvel just pulled off one hell of a surprise, and fans are calling the VisionQuest finale's shocking post-credits scene one of the best in MCU history.
Major spoilers for VisionQuest Episode 8 ahead!
The finale of VisionQuest delivered a massive surprise that I absolutely didn't see coming. In a surprise post-credits scene, it's revealed that Doctor Doom has resurrected Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, following her apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch will be returning under Doctor Doom’s power, and things just got a whole lot more interesting for Avengers: Doomsday.
This is the kind of crazy Marvel surprise I love! After years of wondering whether Wanda would ever return to the MCU, we finally have our answer, and her comeback comes with one big complication. She's apparently working with Doctor Doom.
Naturally, Marvel fans are completely freaking out over the reveal, with some already declaring it the greatest post-credits scene the studio has ever delivered.
"Fair warning: VisionQuest has the best MCU post-credit scene of all time," wrote one fan. Another couldn't contain their excitement, posting, "THIS IS THE POST-CREDITS SCENE OF THE CENTURY!!!!! SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!!"
One fan even compared the long wait for Wanda's return to Greek mythology, writing, "'Penelope waited 20 years for Odysseus' WHO CARES I WAITED 1,652 DAYS FOR THE SCARLET WITCH TO RETURN"
Another celebrated with, "WANDA IS ALIVE OMG WE ARE SO BACK... MOTHER RETURNS TO THE MCU"
You can't blame them for getting excited. Scarlet Witch has been one of the MCU's most interesting and powerful characters, and her return opens the door to some potentially awesome storytelling.
What I'm especially curious about is her relationship with Doctor Doom. He obviously sought her out because he needs her incredible powers. We know how dangerous she can be when she's pushed too far, so seeing her team up with Doom could be absolute chaos.
To make matters worse for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Doom's growing team also includes the Hulk. With those two powerhouses on his side, the Avengers could be walking into a serious ass-kicking when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters.
There's also the question of what Wanda's return means for Vision. Paul Bettany, who plays the character, has previously expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with Olsen in the MCU.
"Working with Lizzie was one of the big privileges of my life," Bettany said. "Especially on WandaVision, and during all of this time has been amazing. And I do think we found our own lane to swim in, and of course I would love for that to happen, but those sort of decisions are made a little bit above my pay grade. So we'll see what… you know, from your lips to God's ears, and when I say God, I mean Kevin Feige."
After everything Wanda and Vision went through in WandaVision, I'd love to see those two characters cross paths again. Their story deserves another chapter, especially now that Wanda has returned under such mysterious circumstances.
For me, the biggest appeal of this reveal is seeing Scarlet Witch back in action. Olsen has been fantastic in the role, and pairing Wanda with Doctor Doom is an interesting creative choice. I'm excited to see the dynamic between the two.
Marvel managed to keep this surprise under wraps, which makes the payoff even better. Now I'm even more excited to see what Avengers: Doomsday has in store!
What do you think of Scarlet Witch's return? Is the VisionQuest post-credits scene really the best in MCU history, and what do you think Doom has planned for Wanda?
