Infinity War Observation: This seems to be in a hotel room–there’s luggage in front of the bed and the cabinet, a room service cart in the corner of the image, a service card next to the glass in on the stand in front of the window. Plus the general hotel-like decor and furniture.

RE Vision’s down under: In the instances in the comics and the MCU where Vision has appeared naked, he’s shown to not have any genetalia/reproductive organs (which is likely why he’s allowed to show full frontal at all), and in either universe there’s not really any logical reason for him to be created with them. But, as you said, he could probably make whichever genitals he’d like if he felt like it, and even if he can’t, he’s getting by, because you don’t need a penis to have sex. Be creative.

I’ll take this opportunity to clarify something about Vision:

Avengers vol. 1 #57

Vision’s body was not originally robotic. John Byrne introduced that retcon because he didn’t think Vision should count as a person at all. As he was originally written, his body was entirely that of a human male, just synthetically made. He could even bruise and bleed:

So much like the idea that Wanda never remembered her kids before Jan let it slip in Disassembled, this was a retcon that directly contradicted previous continuity, instead of just revising our perception of it, so it’s not a clear answer for comics Vision, especially since he’s had several different bodies.

I’ve been talking a lot with my boyfriend about Infinity War, Avengers 4 and the future of MCU. My biggest worry is Vision, of course. He is my favorite character and it is in front line of Thanos. So I’m going to prepare my heart for his death, because of the stone and the fact he is not a main character.
But I still have hope. So tell me if I’m crazy or not.

The Vision’s death is too predictable.

Everyone that knows a little about it or paid attention to Marvel films, knows that Thanos wants the stones and Vision has one. People will go to the movies waiting his death, thinking he ir already dead. I’m saying this based in my interaction in facebook groups. It is pratically unanimous, they do believe Vision will die. 

Joe Russo practically confessed that it will have some death. But I do not think it will be Vision’s death. Because is too predictable. The public know that he is the most probably to die, so why they are going to do something people are waiting for? To kill who we think will die is to give more of the same. 

Infinity War comes to change our perspective of heroes movies, to surprise us, to be unique and different. So yes, I think they will take another route and kill somebody else, because kill Vision is to follow the comfort zone. And I don’t believe this is what Marvel is looking for. 

I believe that Clint and Nebula are going to die in this first movie. Because Marvel will not escape of a death. But I don’t know, I have no idea about what to expect from this movie. I just hope my favorite character can live and find his happiness after the war. (and make some twins)

I’ve had the same thought. It’s an idea that’s kind of hard to justify to myself because I know I really want him to live so the bias is there… but I can’t help but feel that’s a valid point.

The Russos have mentioned wanting to walk the line between giving fans the moments they’re expecting and excited for while not being predictable.

I don’t think I know of a single theory more prevalent than “Vision dies”, yet that moment isn’t exactly something that fans want (except the bloodthirsty ones that want to see Thanos pulp everyone).

The Russos included Crossbones for misdirection to fans who thought that would mean Cap dies (since Crossbones killed him in the comics CW event), yet refused to kill anyone off in Civil War because they wanted the stakes to lie elsewhere. They know exactly what fans are thinking and they’ve shown they don’t want to play directly into the fan theories.

And if I can sort of toss my pet theory out there–I suspect if they both live, Wanda and Vision will become too powerful to stay in the MCU proper and I’ve always felt it’s a total cop-out (if an understandable one) to depower characters after major events to use them again. A good middle ground might be (with some considerable tweaks) for Vision and Wanda to ascend to another level and become the MCU versions of Master Order and Lord (Lady?) Chaos.

I love that Marvel isn’t trying to keep their relationship under wraps. You know what that means?

Posters, art books, lithographs. Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen will likely interview together. The marketing campaign will include their relationship! That’s huge! We could be seeing the effects in games, cartoons, comics, and all future adaptations. Kids will grow up thinking about them as a couple; the public consciousness will immortalize Scarlet Witch and Vision.
