DC Shakeup: James Gunn Out as Marvel's Latcham Takes Over and VisionQuest E5-6
James Gunn is OUT at DC Studios - Jeremy Latchman takes over. What happens to Lanterns, Superman, and the DCU now? Plus VisionQuest Episodes 5 Firewall and 6 Deadlock: Vision vs Ultron, Jocasta's secret, Tommy's choice, and who is the Man in the Hat? Sarah Belmont and Will Polk break down Marvel's VisionQuest Episodes 5 and 6. Episode 5 Firewall is all talk and exposition - Tommy confronts Ultron, and seeing James Spader in person as Ultron hits different. Episode 6 Deadlock finally lands with Vision, Tommy, Paladin and Jocasta's heartbreaking backstory with the nanobots and companions project. We get into Ultron being born in the lab and not from a human copy, Paladin's protect your kid line to Vision, the Watcher cameo, and our big theory - is the Man in the Hat the original Human Torch Jim Hammond from the picture in Vision's house, or someone else?

VisionQuest Episodes 1-2: Does Watching Vision's Memories Make Him Human?
Does watching someone else's memories make you human? That's the question VisionQuest keeps circling in its first two episodes, and Sarah and Will do not land in the same place on it. White Vision is walking around in a borrowed coat, chasing a life he only saw in photographs. Sarah's question cuts deeper than the show's own: if the only thing you have is an image of a moment, did you actually experience it? Meanwhile, Tommy is running the mirror version of that arc, carrying memories of a life that was never his. Two characters, one question. Is a memory you didn't live still yours? No spoilers past Episode 2.
