How did the Avengers PR department explain to the world who and what Vision is?

It's way easier to explain Vision than to explain Thor.

"hi guys. Some of you may know about this old project that was attempted right around the time Grandpa Rogers over there got his big break. Well, that dream has finally been realised."

Damn, I just realized we really don't see much of the rest of normies in the movies.
Like I have no idea what MCU citizens are like.

>"This is Vision. He's a synthetic being who creepy ghost powers, made by an insane AI, and has a unpredictable magic stone in his head."
>"Is he going to kill us?"
>"Not today"
Thats probably a good thing. Comic Marvel citizens are notorious assholes

This is flying red Data. Thor is totally cool with him Helped us kick the shit out of that big smartass Terminator, he's a bro.

>autism

Get out mpviebob

>What is The Vision?
>Well, he's like a robot of sorts
>Like Iron Man?
>What? No. Iron Man isn't a robot, he's guy in a suit. The suit can't talk.
>Actually it can.
>Oh, well. It's still not like Iron Man. A man wears the suit, it can't move on its own.
>Actually it can sometimes. Depends on the suit.
>Okay look, Vision is an advanced synthezoid, constructed from artificial cells and empowered by an alien artifact of unknown origin with power we don't understand.
>oh, so he's like a fancy Iron Man.
>Sure. Let's go with that

I think the better way to present him would be 'The Guy Who Bangs Scarlet Witch'.
That will give media something to talk about, without digging into his actual essence.

This is something I'm kinda interested in knowing

Like do the Avengers have a social media department?
Do they have some intern running their Twitter account?
Do they make daily YouTube videos?
Do they have people trying to come up with content for their website?
What kinda shit did they go through after Civil War?

>Comic Marvel citizens are notorious assholes

All the main characters have their bad qualities turned down several notches why shouldn't the average MCU citizen.

Jesus Christ how can one board have so many shitty uninteresting threads?

>Like do the Avengers have a social media department?

There's an entire complex with secretaries and personnel and a press room, so presumably there's a PR division.

Marvel Citizens only exist to bitch about heroes, regardless on what they do.
Then make a thread

Imagine the shitstorm that would sweep across the global community of theologians and religious scholars when word got out that "Norse" was the correct answer.

It's not technically correct considering it only proves aliens have interfered with human development, which is the bigger concern.
>HOLY SHIT WE'RE NOT ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING IS A LIE, HAIL XENU!
Surprised there isnt a Thor cult by now

There's Norse religion revivals in AoS
Pretty sure there was a temple in Spiderman

However, he's fighting with the Avengers
I'm pretty sure people know he's just an alien

From Spider-man
>Korean Church of Asgard

>Surprised there isnt a Thor cult by now
With all the stuff they took from the Ultimate universe, why the fuck haven't they brought this bit along?

>Who is the vision?
>He's an american military asset with unique properties and enhancements
>Where is he from?
>That's classified

Or, alternatively
>He's a hybrid of avengers and asguardian tech
>But what if he goes nuts?
>We have no reason to believe he will, but the avengers are confident in their ability to bring any rogue agent to justice

You try telling people that the vikings weren't right when there's a huge blond guy calling himself Thor, calling down the power of lightning through his mystical hammer while beating down a guy named Loki while both invoke the name of Odin on live television.

Hell, it's only going to get worse after Ragnarok, considering there's going to be a couple thousand Asgardians asking if they can crash on Earth's couch.

Isn't he like technically alive?

But he's not nearly as powerful as what they said

He's only an alien, or a demigod at best. The Asgard thing will go from a religious problem to a immigration problem over time. People will realize they're not divine, and Norway gets an influx of tourism. Earth will start breeding with them immediately, thus creating a master race

And thus the X-men are born

How many Asgardians are there?
Just a few thousand?

>You try telling people that the vikings weren't right when there's a huge blond guy
>blond
But Thor was VERY famously a redhead in the Norse myths. It tied into his fiery and impulsive personality. That would obviously be used as an argument for why this dude is just trying to look like what modern popular culture thinks Thor should look like.

It's not like Judaism/Christianity hasn't already blackballed a whole bunch of ancient religions by saying they were demons or whatever pretending to be God and fooling early man. It'll just be another form of that, with only the ancient aliens guys actually worshipping in earnest.

In MCU Norse mythology he was blond. In the first Thor, Selvig looks at a book which pretty much just shows pictures of Thor and Loki as they look in MCU.

>"We built a robot. He's going to help us keep you all safe. Also we built him to look perpetually worried for some reason."

Easy.

We don't actually know
His body is made up of living tissue, and he has a consciousness, but until the gem is removed from his head we won't know if he's alive or dead
If thanos takes it, he goes dormant, then they replace it and he turns back on, he's not alive. If he's active, but depowered or ill while it's missing, he's alive

You see a couple hundred in Ragnarok if I recall correctly, but if they bother to give a number they're probably going to highball it to a couple thousand. Saying "only a couple hundred people survived" would make the evacuation even more depressing, while even the most casual movie fan would probably balk at "Oh we managed to cram 100,000 Asgardians on that ship".

Will Wanda fuck the robot in the MCU?

>If thanos takes it, he goes dormant, then they replace it and he turns back on, he's not alive. If he's active, but depowered or ill while it's missing, he's alive
I don't know user, if Thanos takes your brain out of your head, and you go "dormant", were you never alive in the first place then?

How has nobody written this Elseworld yet?

X-Men reimagined as demigods, set in Ancient Greece, riffing off mythology.

>thinking she hasn't already

Vision isn't the stone
It's just on his person
Now why he doesn't eat I don't have a fucking clue

I wouldn't survive the process
If vision dies without the gem, and they have to make him a new body, and transfer his mind, then he was definitely alive.
But you can't just take a brain out and put it back in.

I’m a few movies behind. Does anyone but Thor know Thanos is coming for it?

Wait until the MCU is desperate enough to do the 2099 universe, there's a Thor cult there.

Well, Loki does.

Universe x (or paradise x, i forget) kinda did
They basically said that it goes humans become metas, and they eventually become demigods, and they eventually become concepts (like eternity) and it was all a plan of celestials.
Mutants are designed to be bred to elevate the species

Look, I'm sure that in the MCU there is technology to keep a body working while the brain is gone.
For Vision maybe that technology is just wired into him.

That's what the TV shows are for.

Turns out they mostly just buy bootleg footage of the incidents and use euphemisms to refer to the heroes.

Guardians know thanos wants the stones, but they don't know where he's headed

Vision's brain isn't the stone though
His brain is the whatever the hell Ultron and the Korean lady put in the body that JARVIS now occupies

Oh I love the Earth X trilogy, but I was thinking something more along the lines of Gotham By Gaslight or whatever, where they're characters in a vaguely ancient Greek mythology thing.

Like they're all demigods or demicreatures, Cyclops is the son of a cyclops, Phoenix is the daughter of a phoenix, Iceman can be a child of a water nymph or something, Angel is the spawn of Hermes, etc.

Tony feels that there is impending threat coming
And Doctor Strange will probably sense something coming in the comic on Wednesday
Other than that and , no

How does that change my statement?
I said we won't know if he's alive until the stone is removed, giving marvel the chance to show us what that means.
Vision himself doesn't know what the stone does, thor didn't either. Vision's got asguardian magic, earth biotech, and an infinity stone. We can't define him as alive until marvel explains more about how it works

>His brain is the whatever the hell Ultron and the Korean lady put in the body that JARVIS now occupies
That was the stone user! Ultron and Vision both came from the stone.

He's a magical robot. Is that really hard to explain?

Closest you’ll get is Marvel 1602

Kek.
I never noticed that.

>tfw you'll never be the guy running the avengers twitter.

No
There's some sort of framework in the body that's separate from the stone
Now idk if Vision can survive without the stone
He doesn't eat and doesn't have a power source
His organic body would seemingly already have disintegrated without food and his tech parts need power
But Vision isn't the mind stone. He just sorta has it

No, jarvis was uploaded into the vibranium-based synthetic body's brain
The stone is something else. My guess is it's the asguardian magic mixing with the stone which gives vision his life, and how that's different from ultron.
He doesn't eat because vibranium is a power source too, as is explained more clearly in black panther

You're right
I guess
I hate how much of a MacGuffin these magical metals and woods are

And no
It's just the mind stone
It's powerful to keep Vision alive

>Made of indestructible metal
>Has a fundamental cornerstone of reality stuck to his head
>Can fly
>Laser beams
>Phases through shit
>Supercomputer mind

This cunt's a walking plothole. The Avengers could send him to do all their shit and he'd do it better than they could.

This is fucking confusing.
So Mind Stone+Ultron Peacekeeping Program=Psycho Killer.
And Mind Stone+JARVIS=Awkward Jarvis.

Now mayhaps the Mind Stone was only what was needed to "enhance" the Jarvis AI to that of an actual mind/intelligence/person. And it can be taken out now. Or something. I GUESS I understand but as far as I'm concerned, him having a consciousness makes him alive. Other organisms on Earth do far less than him.

>yfw Ancient Aliens is correct in the MCU

>But Vision isn't the mind stone. He just sorta has it
Huh
What if...
>Thanos gets the mind stone and after gotg3 gets the soul stone from adam warlock
>He starts ruling with an iron fist, but has vision and adam in his head, influencing him
>Eventually he comes to care, ever so slightly, about the avengers, guardians, etc, and in avengers 4 is moved by the sacrifice others make and gives up the glove and stones, but only to trusted sources (adam, vision, strange, hulk, wanda, and Heimdall)
>Next movies reveal thanos' evil seeps into the users, corrupting them (the magus, house of m, grey hulk, etc)

Didn't he mistakenly shot down one of the flying negroes in the Civil War?

Until a pretty lady gets hurt, then he fucks it all up

Ultron is apparently a Chitauri virus imbedded in whatever was covering the mind stone I think
It's not exactly clear
Nothing about Vision makes sense

Bendis get off Sup Forums.

I forget what exactly happened to him in that fight but it's nonsensical that they felt they needed to get rid of the Hulk because "any side he was on would win" but didn't feel the same for Vision.

Fuck, if Hulk was on one side and the Vision on the other it would have been an even fight. If they were fighting to kill I'd even place my bets on Vision.

Did they need to explain? I mean, they probably lied about event in Sokovia, cause otherwise Tony Stark and Banner would be in prison for creating Ultron. Same for Wanda.

No, ultron never had the mind stone inside of him
They derived the ai for ultron from the mind stone. They tried to copy an organic ai, if you will. It became sentient and then problems happened.
Ultron was going to be fused with the mind stone in the body that became vision, but it didn't happen yet.
The mind stone is basically the most advance deep learning ai in existence. As such it can interface with minds and alter them, since it can learn how they think

They can cover up their involvement but Vision's always gonna be flying around doing shit
It's gonna become a question they can't avoid
They gotta worry about the brand

>with an android dong

He was distracted by Wanda's tiddies

He was the most human of us after all.

Point.

Vision doesn't have a penis though

They could say he's good guy from Robot dimension. And Ultron was bad guy from Robot dimension.

>gotta worry about the brand
Many people hates them for saving New-York in those movies.

IIRC, there was at least one Thor cult in the 80s comics -- he told them he didn't want to be worshiped.

Everything seems fine until Ultron

Also, since they need to drum up public support PR is vital

Isn't he? I don't recall the Norse gods being particularly omnipotent by any means. Thor was good at killing frost giants and he was strong enough to lift Jörmungandr out of position somewhat and he could drink like a champ but I feel like there isn't that big a discrepancy in power between the myth and the comic.

I'm pretty sure there's a more recent one filled with white supremacists that Thor gets really fucking pissed at as well, from after Asgard ended up on Earth I think.

Especially since movie-Thor doesn't have his belt or gloves that were supposed to be enhancing his strenght/gripping power. If he actually gets that belt from Stark in the next movie I expect him to become powerful as fuck.

When did they need public support?

So he married Scarlet Witch because he is into cuckshit?

He just achieved his Super Asgardian God of Thunder Super Asgardian form in Ragnarok so I don't see them slapping another powerup on him any time soon.

There's a porn comic about this

See: Captain America: Civil War

The way I see it the belt would be Stark-Tech just enhancing his everyday strength in a small but meaningful way, but he'd obviously not need it if he goes full Thunder. That way they wouldn't need him to go all lightning-y so often despite going up against harder foes, only doing it when he REALLY needs to go all out and every inch counts. Just to cut down on the CGI effects, basically.

That or Thanatos pulls some de-powering fuckery with one of the gems causing Thor to need the belt to be as strong as he used to be. That could also work.

oh, i was talking about time before that movie.

It still shows why a good PR campaign is necessary for the Avengers

this is why I liked spider-man HC, you have people in it and it felt like they live in a comic book world.

As of Infinity War, probably zero

He can survive in the Mind Stone as he can travel the astral plane and go anywhere.

Can Vision still phase through shit?

Yeah we see him do that when phases through Ant-Man and the walls in the Avenger compound earlier, showing that he can go though nonorganic and organic materials without harming them. Now I don't know if he can do the trick Vision does in the comics, ie phases his hand into a foe and unphases while still inside.

I think he did the reverse in civil war

I'm talking about phasing without the mind stone though

Well, they got Hercules in the avenger too. And there is the "All Fathers" after all.

>ie phases his hand into a foe and unphases while still inside.
He did this to Ultron bots to tear them apart in AoU

>infinity war
>thor loses
>vision try to take the hammer to fight thanos
>can't lift it anymore because fucked the witch
>get his ass fucked by thanos and the stone removed

Why would love make him unworthy of Mjolnir?

>Somebody help my son is going to get killed!
>DUDE ORANGE SLICES LMAO

Have you guys forget that he was "dormant" right after Ultron giving him the stone?

The stone isn't what makes him. It's just a power source for the body. If it get removed, he will probably just lost his "Powers" and became as strong as human being.

>he don't eat
He don't need to eat. Doesn't meant he can't or that he don't.

And he is not Jarvis.
Jarvis was damaged at the time, and Jarvis had no conciousness or personality. The stone is what oganized the files as "memory".

>can create a suit and cape out of his body
You think he can't create a cock of any size and girth?

And what makes you belive he don't have one? Ultron got a fetish for Wanda. I'm pretty sure he designed a nice cock to eat she. Why else he made lips?
