Could Elizabeth Olsen be playing Vision's other wife?
- Marvel Entertainment)
As WandaVision aired, a lot of fans discovered Tom King's delightful run on The Vision . During the Disney+ series' airing, the comics creator joined ComicBook's Phase Zero podcast to discuss his read of WandaVision . While he saw the gesturing to his previous work, King also pointed out numerous other comics writers that got nods during that show too.
"I see a lot of Brian Michael Bendis in this show. I think I get too much credit and he gets to little, to be frank," he says. "I see his, and I see a lot of Steve Englehart, a lot of John Byrne, his West Coast Avengers stuff . So yeah, clearly, sort of the idea of Vision as, again, this sort of elevated thing that I tried to do, where it's ripping off Alan Moore with Vision, that's sort of the baseline. But then they're really cooking with the other ingredients of Bendis, and Englehart, and Byrne, yeah."
"I always go back to comic book and comic book history, but Marvel has made incredible comics, but DC has made these sort of dark, tent-pole comics, these Watchmen , these Dark Knight Returns , New Frontier . These sort of comics that are, like, for lack of a better term, literary superhero comics, and Marvel has shied away from them. I mean, that's a big over assumption, but that's generally true," King explains. "So, I mean, that's what I was trying to do, was sort of to bring that DC sort of vibe to Marvel. And yeah, I mean, the most popular comic in DC's history was Watchmen , Dark Knight Returns . Those are still the popular comics and they still inspire the movies. And I think when people see that kind of energy in Marvel I'll just spark more energy."
