I’ve been struggling not to complain about the writing from right around the moment in the first episode when Vision first looked at Paladin and then flew away without questioning him. But I’m watching with my husband, and told him I was gonna try to bite my tongue.
And then JARVIS teased Vision about tying a better Windsor knot, and my husband blew up.
‘What?? WHAT!?! That’s a four-in-hand! These aren’t obscure knots!? Vision and JARVIS and every costume director would absolutely know the difference between a Windsor and a four-in-hand! There is just no way not to notice this! And Vision wouldn’t wear a Windsor! There’s a reason why …’
He went on for about 10 minutes, and he’s right. Maybe it’s minor. But… is it? It’s utterly sloppy. I suspect that Beatney and D’Arcy both know the difference, and are just trying not to let it distract them while acting. It’s like calling brown shoes black if you’re a British man who wears a tie. What’s the point of putting something like that in as a writer if you have no idea who your characters are and what that quip is supposed to mean?

I’m with my husband. It’s frustrating.
