YMMV / The Vision (2015)

Go To

  • And You Thought It Would Fail: Longtime Avenger stars in his own book featuring a family he suddenly created, and it barely features any traditional superheroics but focuses on domestic drama/horror? Thankfully, both critics and fans alike embraced the book.
  • Broken Base: Some Runaways fans were upset by the revelation that Victor has a drug problem, feeling it is a disservice to the character, not to mention highly implausible due to the radical cost and rarity of vibranium - he's supposed to have started his habit while he was with the Runaways, who kept him under close surveillance and didn't even have enough money to afford breakfast cereal. Those who liked the reveal have argued that it does an effective job of showing that many hard drug addicts are perfectly good people who simply made some very bad choices.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: A number of Runaways fans would like to pretend this series never happened thanks to its treatment (and eventual killing off) of Victor Mancha. Although it was later revealed that Victor was Only Mostly Dead and had a new body built for him. He also refuses to get anywhere near Vibranium after what happened.
  • Ho Yay: While describing Ultron, Victor praises Ultron's "glorious mirror-abs". Also carries a certain amount of squick, since Ultron is his father and the only time Victor even met him was when he killed Victor's mom.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Leon Kinzky. While his attempt to blackmail Virginia was unethical and monumentally stupid, he was genuinely afraid for his son and his community. His willingness to take such drastic measures shows readers how shaken he was by Vin's near-strangulation of his son. When he accidentally kills his son, his horror and grief are palpable.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Victor's death upset not only fans of the character but also people who felt that there was a lot of potential in exploring his struggle with vibranium addiction and guilt after accidentally killing Vin. Thankfully, Runaways (Rainbow Rowell) picks up where Victor's arc leaves off and examines his guilt over the matter.
