⬆️ Point at this scene when anyone accuses Vision of being useless in Infinity War (plus Vision saving Cap). Being good is less meaningful when you’re too powerful to fear. But Vision can die like a man, so he can be good like one too.

Infinity war audio commentary confirms that Tony knew Vision has been meeting Wanda all this time
Stephen McFeely explained in the commentary track why Tony said that Steve might be able to help locating Vision, after he confirmed that he couldn’t contact him because Vision had turned off his transponder for the last two weeks:
“Just to underline between lines here when he says Steve might be able to help, it’s because Tony knows that Wanda is on the run with Steve. And he knows that Vision has been stepping out and maybe having a relationship with Wanda. And he has been cool with that and probably not called Vision to task for it. So, yeah, Tony knows a lot here even if we don’t make that clear to the audience.”
So yeah, Tony knew his son was running aroung playing Romeo and he was cool with it.
So I was thinking a little bit and realised that people being upset about Wanda destroyed the Mind Stone (thus killing Vision) so late is totally irrelevant. At that point when Dr. Strange gave the Time Stone to Thanos, he could just go back in time and get the Mind Stone (if destroyed sooner berore he arrived on Earth) just as we saw. And also people don’t mind Dr. Strange willingly handing over the Stone, but bitching about Wanda (and a whole lot of other people) not wanting to kill someone.
Absolutely. This movie has people all over the place pointing fingers, and this is no different. The Time Stone is even able to manipulate time in an isolated instance–that is, it’s not like Thanos even had to reverse an entire timeline. He could localize the effect to just Vision.
I will say, though, Strange definitely has a greater plan in mind, so it’s not quite the same kind of decision.
Aside from people giving Peter Quill shit for his actions in Infinity War (which annoys me since his actions were completely understandable and human), I don’t get so much blame being leveled against Wanda for what happened. I’ve seen a lot of posts talking shit about her (things to the effect of ”She was willing to let half the universe die for an overblown toaster!”), but… was it just Wanda? No.
Almost everyone was on board with stalling: Steve and Bruce specifically and vocally disagreed with killing Vision. No one protested the plan to take Vision to Wakanda to fix him. T’Challa opened up the doors to Wakanda, so clearly he agreed on some level. Shuri was on board with the actual operation. Not one person aside from Vision was on Team “Hey, Let’s Destroy the Mind Stone Now”.
So why criticize only Wanda for this? If people want to throw Wanda under the bus for waiting too long to destroy the Mind Stone, they should also throw every other person who agreed with Wanda under the bus too. At least Wanda had a good reason for not wanting Vision dead. She was in love with him.
This fandom has a weird habit of picking and choosing certain characters to target with their ire while ignoring the complicity of their own personal faves or outright ignoring the less-than-stellar actions of them. Like damn.
Concept art
Btw it’s possible he was initially meant to have his android appearance in the early drafts, but both of these images are also previous paintings photobashed into new concept art, just to give an impression of setting, lighting, tone, etc.
