The childhood Vision pictures were just genius and hilarious. WandaVision is really the gift that keeps on giving.
Curious - what everyone's view was on what Byrne did to Vision in West Coast Avengers back in the day? Wiped his slate clean/removed emotion/made him a colorless version of himself?
I despised it because it simply took away everything that made Vision unique - from his personality - even down to his appearance.

I thought it was a gratuitously cruel thing to do. I’m curious if there is anybody who actually liked white vision.

Has everyone watched the finale?
I hated it. IMO, Byrne really wrecked the Avengers. For a good long time, I hated Simon. I went full X-Men within two years of Byrne's departure from the Avengers. It was not until Onslaught that I started following the Avengers again.
White Vision walking around in a speedo, cape, and barefooted with zero emotions was just dumb. Having emotions, but repressed, was part if his origin.
Now that I think about it, could Byrne have been influenced by the visual of Doctor Manhattan?
I hated it. The Vision was one of the mainstays of the Avengers and his romance with the Scarlet Witch was one of the biggest things but because Byrne hated the Vision, he took everything away from him that made him unique, said it was stupid to ever treat him as a person and set the path for later writers to kick both him and Wanda out of the books and lower their standings. All because he hated the Vision. I don't think anyone liked it outside of Bendis that is.
How does everyone feel about his resolution in the show, for those who have seen it? I'm trying not to post spoilers
Yeah - that's what made me think of what Byrne did.
I figure there's a WandaVision thread where they might be talking about this.
But the whole White Vision thing in the comics was a drastic measure that seemed to serve no purpose other than what Marvell2100 said - about some kind of hatred for Wanda and Vision.

Here's a whole twitter thread about it:

But Byrne has been quoted as saying that he doesn't view the Vision as a human but instead as a toaster.
