Avengers: Age of Ultron * FIRST TIME WATCHING * reaction & commentary 

"The city is flying. We're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrows. None of this makes sense." My favorite line.

Ashley: "Oh So she has, like, mind control. She has, like, visions." Me: Yes. 😬

"She has visions and stuff!" The dramatic irony here, Ashleigh, is perfect.

Cap has the best speeches in the Franchise, but Clint's "If you step out that door....you are an Avenger" speech is one of the greatest lines of dialogue in the whole MCU.

Aw, man. Two months until Ashleigh sees “Captain America: Civil War”. Her reactions to these movies are so fun, wish she would watch at least 2 a month. (28:44: lol, if Ashleigh continues only watching 1 Marvel a month, inc TV shows, she will literally BE a Golden Girl by the end.)

Whenever “peace in our time” is used in a movie, always expect something bad. It’s a reference to Neville Chamberlain (although it’s a misquote) and his 1938 deal with Hitler to allow Germany to annex part of Czechoslovakia, with the agreement that it would stop there. Chamberlain came back to the U.K. waving the signed treaty and boasting about “peace for our time.” Needless to say, things went downhill from there. The big Iron Man suit used to fight Hulk is called “Veronica” because in the Archie comics, Archie had two girls trying to be his girlfriend, Betty (the nice blonde one) and Veronica (the mean, scheming black-haired one) and Bruce has a girlfriend named Betty (from the Incredible Hulk movie, remember?).

Ashleigh: "I think Ultron could get it." James Spader: "Sometimes the flowers arrange themselves Ash."

A lot of seeds for the future were planted in this movie. This movie is so much like a comic book by the way it uses subplots that later come to fruition. Vision and Wanda first noticing each other, Thor setting out to investigate after he realizes that something is wrong behind the scenes, Thor's vision showing the vague outline of the Infinity Gauntlet with all the so far revealed Infinity Stones, the fact that the Mind Stone is actually a part of Vision, Steve and Tony's bickering while they're at Clint's farm, the mention of Wakanda along with Klaw, Natasha's flashing back to her Red Room days when she was training to become a Black Widow, how Wanda looses it when her brother is killed, the Hulk choosing to exile himself, and Cap's longing for Peggy. I love how the set-up for one of the major payoffs in "Avengers: Endgame" is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in this movie.

James Spader has such a perfect voice for Ultron. When I read old comics with Ultron, his is the voice I hear in my head.

A few things. 1. Hulk is *incredibly* resilient. It takes an absurd amount to even hurt him, let alone break his skin. A building falling on him would barely scuff him up. 2. Tony outright said that Ultron wasn't done yet. He woke up before he was supposed to, before they had any safeguards in place to prevent exactly what he went on to do. 3. Jarvis became Vision. They mentioned it a few times, calling him 'the vision', so I get you not catching it.

The name of the new character is Vision. He has the mind stone as a part of him. You are also in for quite a ride. At this point they pretty much knew where they were going and it's a big build up to Avengers Endgame while keeping each movie important to itself

"Everything happened a lot," is probably the best short review I have ever heard for this movie.

Ashleigh's frustration on having to wait a while until the Black Widow movie is how we all felt in 2015.

When this came out, their was so much setting up for future films that many people were annoyed that there was too much. The actor who played Jarvis didn't know there was a plan to make him a super-hero (named The Vision). A LOT will happen in the next movies before the 3rd Avengers film, but, yes, Wanda is wayyyyy more powerful than her brother, and the answer to all your Thanos questions is Yes!

"I don't know what Ultron is. Is it a place?" I fucking LOVE how blind Ashleigh is going into these. It's like getting to enjoy my own first time all over again from a different lense.

The fact that you noticed Captain America slightly moved Thor's hammer during the party is important...also, did you notice the look on Thor's face when it happened?

5:00 "So she has mind control, she has Visions and stuff..." ......on point!

Your reaction and enthusiasm reminds me that I really loved this one when it came out. Your questions show how much it setup for the remaining movies. Also, Ultron is the crappy dude in Pretty in Pink, and Thanos is the guy who fell off the bicycle in Goonies. These are facts that tie together the multiverse of movies during my lifetime into one big narrative that is much more interesting than I ever expected.

If you want to blame someone for how long it is before Black Widow's solo movie, the name to blame is Ike Perlmutter. He was one of the main producers until about the time this one came out, essentially Disney stepped in to remove him and put Kevin Feige in charge due to some behind the scenes stuff, and it was apparently Perlmutter who kept pushing back Black Widow and a few other projects for various reasons. You might notice a slight change of tone in films from the next couple of films onwards, and that's one reason why that happened.

All of the humanizing and expansion of Hawkeye's character made me love this movie, I really couldn't understand why everyone else ranked it so low.

Ashleigh's channel the G.O.A.T. of RU-vid channels 💯

I loved Age of Ultron when it came out, and I still love it now. Severely underrated and the first and only TRUE Avengers movie where they are a team from beginning to end.

hawkeye has that name for a reason. he knows everything that is going on around him. he kind of has to since he's really just a highly skilled human, not a super.

The thing about Banner and Hulk is that the trick that Widow does is the result of a post-hypnotic suggestion implanted in Hulk's "mind". It basically puts Hulk to sleep, letting Banner back out. How they got it into him isn't really covered, but it's a thing. Kind of like River Tam from Firefly/Serenity.

Yes! Just LOVE that you loved Age of Ultron: This movie gets a lot of hate from fans and non-fans alike and I've always thought that it is much better than the haters say (So don't let them tell you otherwise!). A lot of questions left in this one: But the answers are going to come (Sooner or later). And you got A LOT of really good MCU movies coming up next! And the next one is: ANT-MAN! (I think you're gonna love that one too!)

SO amazing!! I love that you haven't been spoiled at all! This flick DOES leave a lot of questions, but fret not, they will be answered... The Avengers movies get better, broader, more intense, but I actually rewatch this one more often, kind of a soft spot thing lol... You just have ZERO idea what's coming and I can not WAIT to follow you on your journey!!

Try not to stress over the different groups of characters and their relationships to each other. Some people are Earth-bound, some are not. If or when they need to interact, the story would lead you there.

The scene of Ultron and Vision discussing philosophy in the forest is probably one of my favourite moments in the entire MCU. It's such an understated and beautiful moment as both of these non human things consider humanity. "Things aren't beautiful because they last" is such a perfect encapsulation of life

"That was neato Dorito." If only she'd seen this when it came out, they could've put that quote on the DVD box.

To give you an idea, when they announced the movie's subtitle was "Age of Ultron" I just about screamed in excitement.

Five minutes in, and I CAN’T WAIT for Ashley to find out what Wanda Vision is. This slow burn on the movies is killing me.

I really can’t wait for you to get to the culmination of all this Ashleigh! I love rewatching the Marvel journey through your eyes! Keep it coming!

I love listening to the prereview for the Marvel movies. Ashleigh always gets things so right, and yet soooooo wrong.

Ashleigh, I didn't think it was possible, but watching MCU movies with you is getting more fun each time! It's so much fun to see you getting all bubbly!

Not gonna lie... the "cat raking" was so soothing and exactly what I needed this morning to chill... Always fun to watch you enjoy life, Ashleigh! :)

Damn, that’s relaxing. Could you do a longer video of just brushing Beans while she purrs. I nearly nodded off a few seconds in. Lol! It’s like when I used to get haircuts and the electric clippers would be running. Literally nodded off in the chair once… never lived it down

I really like AOU, more than the first one. Yes it has some shoehorned stuff and some weird pacing, but it has some of the best moments and interactions in the MCU. Avengers fighting as a team from the start, friction between cap and tony bubbling, hulkbuster, James Spader's voice, Vision and Wanda foreshadowing, the superior version of Quicksilver. The Vision and Ultron scene is beautiful and brought a tear to my eye in the theatre

Oh, those are some high-quality happy-kitty sounds from Beans. Can I please get, like, 10 hours of that? "Everything happened, a lot. So much." is a very accurate summary of this film. Just a note on the Scepter; it wasn't Loki's so much as it was given to Loki by Thanos, as one of the tools he could use to conquer Earth (along with the Chitauri army). Rewatching the first Avengers, you can see how it appears to have twisted Loki's mind in the same way it almost did to the Avengers on the Helicarrier just before Hawkeye's attack, inculcating anger, suspicion, and paranoia (though, to be honest, Loki didn't need much of a push in that direction to begin with). Eugene O'Neill was an American playwright, born in 1888. He's known for bringing the techniques of realism associated with Chekov (of the famous "Chekov's Gun" rule of narratives, that being "if you introduce a gun in the first act, it must have been fired by the third". Basically, it's just saying "don't have unnecessary elements in your story, as they're distracting and take up time. Know what you're trying to say, and just say that") to America. Many of O'Neill's plays were marked by characters being ground into despair by tragedy and pessimism. More to the point, one of O'Neill's most famous plays is "Long Day's Journey into Night", which is often accompanied by works like "A Streetcar Named Desire" in lists of the best-ever of US theatre. The reason Bruce wants to leave during the Sokovia battle is that, after his uncontrolled Hulk attack on the city triggered by Wanda, he's terrified that his next transformation will result in a lot of innocent blood being shed. Like, oceans of it. Tony got lucky that there happened to be an unoccupied skyscraper nearby to drop on Big Green and bring him back to reality(ish). No telling if the Avengers would be able to stop an unbridled Hulk again.

14:35 Eugene O'neill wrote a play called "Long Day's Journey Into Night." The play is four acts long and takes place during one day.

OMG, I Just lost my shit when you said you were going to react to "Mask"! That is one of my all-time favorite movies. Such great acting, such a great story. "Mask" and "The World According to Garp" are two movies I really want to see people react to. They blew my mind growing up.

OMG, beans is such a fat, furry chunk. I love it so much I can't tell you! She reminds me of my grandma's old cat when I was growing up. Movie was great too. But thanks for the extra Beans. ❤️

Omg I love your wonder at this franchise! You speculating at the end makes my day every time. It's the closest I can get to watching them all for the first time again, so thank you. I can't wait to see what you think of the next two Avengers movies... ;) ;)

"Everything happened a lot and so much." Well put.

“Everything happened alot “ Ashley, your funny,and the best!

Ultron was originally Ant-Man's creation, recent developments in the comics say he was made from Hank's own brainwaves to try and serve as the next step in evolution so people wouldn't have to feel emotion anymore (Hank was motivated by clinical depression so you can see how plugging that brain into a robot is a bad idea).

I'm always amused by the fact that the Hulk Buster is named Veronica because Bruce's girlfriend from the Hulk movie was named Betty

FINALLY somebody appreciates Age of Ultron from the beginning. Usually people realized what a great movie it it is only after having seen the Endgame or Wandavision.

Bean's fur is so vibrant! it's so cute how he looks at you asking for more lol

I'm so glad she's doing these. As someone who had the comics back in the day that all these stories are based on, I do enjoy watching someone be excited over it as it unfolds to them for the first time.

You will learn more about Black Widow before her solo movie. Elizabeth Olsen plays The Scarlet Witch (Wanda) She's the younger sister of the Olsen twins. The Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel. She's great and was trained by a Salem Witch. I grew up in Salem so I love her! Jarvis' name is now Vision. Vision is also incredibly powerful as shown by his ability to lift Thor's hammer. I always knew you would love Marvel's "Vision" of the future lol Great video Ash!!! P.S I can't wait for you to watch the Deadpool movies!

“Everything happened a lot” Best Ashleigh quote. Great videos 🤟🥩

5:00 “So she has VISIONs and stuff…” HAHAHAHA GREAT PREDICTION ASHLEIGH!!!

Yes Wanda is very scary and one of the most powerful beings in this universe.

"Eugene O’Neill long” was a reference to a playwright early to mid 1900s - among his works, one of them (his last, and it was only released after his death) was a 4 act play called "Long Day's Journey into the Night".

The “I was born yesterday” scene is one of my favorites in the franchise. This movie gets a bad rap and I don’t quite get it. Glad you liked it so much.

I love watching you watch these movies 🍿 🎥 it’s so pleasant to see a genuine first time reaction!!!

19:21: yes…yes, she does. 21:28: my feelings exactly whenever a movie has a dog that lives. The Beans ASMR was so cute. She just looks at you like, “why you schtopping?”

So basically: 1) Everything is actually uphill from here, with maybe a small level off with Homecoming, but that's my opinion. All the movies get weirder but better up to Endgame (and I am very sorry for what Infinity War and Endgame will do to you, sweet summer child). 2) Pay attention to Civil War when you get there. I mean really pay attention because it's basically Avengers 2 1/2 and you will miss stuff if you aren't careful. 3) If you can you should step up the Marvel intake a little. You'll be getting into the series stuff soon and you'll be left with bigger cliffhangers between episodes than you would with these movies.

When Ashleigh asked if there's another Thor movie, I literally made the face from that SpongeBob excited gif.

I love Ashleigh's reaction. I have never read what American comic books (Marvel, DC etc, I grew up with Lucky Luke, Astrix & Obelix, Tintin and Umpahpah) so I went completely blind in first Marvel film by friend who was huge Marvel fan. Fell in love these movies. Watching Asleigh watching these films give me throw back to myself when I watched these in theater. Thank you Asleigh.

"did he almost move it?" he moved it a little. there's been a great debate as to whether he was "mostly worthy" or he could have completely picked it up and refrained when it moved, to save face for thor.

Wow - 5 out of 5 for this one and it takes your #1 Avengers spot! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It's not one of most fans' favorites, but great that it works for you! Vision...Infinity Stone guy in the red onesie is Vision. As in...WandaVision. I haven't seen Black Widow's movie yet either, and I want her backstory too. I hope you stocked up on tissue for Mask. Have a great weekend!

To be fair, we were *all* mad not to get a Black Widow movie back then, too

Re.: 1:25 _"does that make sense?"_ *Yes,* baby-girl, it makes perfect sense. That being said, I feel that any attempt to answer your _Avengers/GoTG_ questions would, in fact, be a massive *spoiler* & I want you to experience it all completely fresh! 🙏🏻😁 Live your best life, baby-girl! *_*Sending Love!*_* 🥰❤️

Ultron is voiced by James Spader, who unfortunately has felt the unforgiving touch of age, but in Pretty in Pink he could 100% get it 😉 (I feel OK about that coz he was actually in his 20s at the time, not a high school kid)

🌺 Did you notice the middle name on the front of Nathaniel Bartons onesie? Pietro. Also, does my heart ❤️ good to see you enjoy the Marvel movies so much! 😊 AND, love that you are watching Mask on Monday. I was a teenager when it came out. Loved it!!💖 See if you recognize the girl who is at the summer camp. I left out the spoiler parts of that sentence. Enjoy

Can’t wait to see your reaction to Wanda! my fav character :) Also the new guy with the Mind Stone is called Vision

I got so excited watching you get excited😂 I'm over here bouncing on the couch! Beans be like: I get the front half, you get the back half.

I love your laugh so much. Stay on top of that mental health and be nice to yourself. Looking forward to the next one.

For the bit of Beans at the end...what kept going through my mind was a scene from Big Hero 6...where the lovable robot Baymax is low on power and drunkenly petting the family cat...who looks a LOT like Beans. "Hai - ry baby...hairy baby..."

Tony is intelligent enough to have security protocols in place to prevent experimental AI from having ''administrator permissions'' so to speak to his entire network and to keep him under his control, so I figured Ultron isolated those protocols locally to the first body, knowing full well the avengers would meet an escalation with violence. Once the body was destroyed Ultron would have full access. Otherwise that scene wouldn't make much sense to me. ''I had strings, but now I'm free..."

This is definitely my most favourite Marvel react that you have done yet!!! Omg the chaos was AWESOME!!

Great reactions, as always, Ashleigh. Jarvis is now The Vision. ( But it's the same actor! ) The glove Thanos picked up, is called the Infinity Gauntlet.

My theory is that at some point in between movies Bruce agreed to let himself get hypnotized so that Natasha can change him back when the fighting was over. Since Bruce is way deep in Hulk's subconscious, they created a trigger that would awaken Bruce and put Hulk to sleep.

The whole Pinocchio thing with Ultron seemed unfulfilled. Like they had more planned but things ultimately didn't get used.

Natasha should have been like "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur...."

Wanda is one of, if not the best Marvel characters, Elizabeth Olsen plays her fantastically.

When Tony says that he has had a long day, "like, Eugene O'Neill long", he is making a reference to the playwright Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece, "Long Day's Journey Into Night". It's widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the 20th century.

You are so going to love the next Thor movie Ragnarok, personally my favorite. Love your channel!! You are the best! :)

Sooo excited to be on this journey! It's a long one, but worth it. When you finally get to Wandavision, you will UGLY cry! You may need to have a dedicated Marvel month, like Hallowbeans, where you also do Wednesday uploads, to get through these faster. You won't want to wait!

Ashleigh re Wanda: "So she has, like mind control; she has, like, visions and stuff." Nearly right, Ash. She has Vision, and stuff. 😉

Somone should inform @Ashleigh that The black widow movie was originaly supposed to release not long after this... but got "shelved" . it really does not break contenutity to watch it at least before end-game... in fact for best emotional envolvement you SHOULD watch it before end-game. I wish I had.

In the comics, the Avenger's "roster" would change from time to time. Some heroes would join, some leave. Then others come back later on. Think of a revolving door... So Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor left. Then Vision, Scarlett Witch (Wanda), Falcon, and War Machine joined. Cap and Widow stayed.

Veronica is also known as the Hulk Buster. Every time Tony invents something or updates something, you have to think back to what he learned previously. His main goal is always about keeping people safe, whether it is the public at large, or one of his friends/ family. When Vision grabbed hold of Ultron, he locked him out of his ability to transfer his consciousness so that when they kill him this time he can't replicate. They named him Vision because Thor said "he had a vision" and it was of the mind stone. Wanda is known as the Scarlet Witch in the comics and her "brother" was meant to be "Quicksilver" but in the comics and in the X-Men movies they established that Quicksilver is someone else, so officially we are just supposed to ignore the fact that they were called the twins and that guy was even a silver-haired speedster. Technically... they are both in alternate universes. Yeah, Marvel likes messing with reality and continuity.

I love how excited you're getting about the Saga as it unfolds, I do think you should find a way to watch the MCU television shows, they will integrate with the movies in a way that if you don't see them, you will be lost

The Eugene O'Neill reference. O'Neill was an American Playwright who wrote a play based on his dysfunctional family called "Long Days Journey Into Night".

Here's the thing about Thor's Hammer (and I'm just going off the movies). This is just my own fan-theory, but I think it's well-supported. Thor's Hammer has awareness. It's not a full-on AI with self-awareness, but it is capable of making intelligent choices according to its programming. It doesn't try to communicate because communication is not its function. It doesn't have feelings, but it understands morality. 1. It was forged from the core of a dying star. That tells me it's made, at least in part, of neutronium. It's a substance that is made entirely of neutrons packed together as tightly as they possibly can. By comparison, a human body or a mountain is made of smoke. I think the hammer itself is a container for neutronium core and to house the AI. The hammer may actually weigh thousands of tonnes from a tiny grain of neutronium. 2. Magic "exists" in the Marvel setting, but the first Thor movie makes it clear that magic is just very advanced science that we don't understand yet. So the idea of "worthiness" is judged by the AI within the hammer. Given the link between magic and willpower, it can only search the mind of someone who picks it up. 3. The hammer's advanced construction allows it to control the force of gravity. This is self-evident; no one unworthy can lift it, but as Cap implied, one could put it on an elevator and the elevator would be able to lift it. It also doesn't shatter Tony's table. It's not that it's fixed in space, the AI within it simply increases or decreases the effective mass of the hammer as appropriate. Like, if I lift with 100 lbs of force, it now weighs 110 lbs. As soon as I let go, it returns to its previous mass and no harm's done. It perfectly opposes any force applied to it so that it remains fixed in place, even if the thing it's on is free to move. A simple object would be unable to do this; awareness is required. 4. It can also generate massive electric fields when Thor mentally commands it to. He can fly by flinging the hammer; it's light enough to swing, but when released it exploits its massive momentum to pull Thor along. It does this in response to Thor's thoughts, but it's also working with him.

Yes! Ultron CAN indeed get it! I was waiting for this react and am not disappointed! Love that you love it so much! Can’t wait for your Ant Man review!

Ashleigh sees Wanda: the other twin, that's so scary. Yes, she is scary. And I love that about her.

I have been waiting for this! I adore Vision! ( red Ultron guy) First thing I do every Monday and Friday is to see what movies you review. Can’t wait to see your reaction to my favorite avenger: Antman. Also the Beans content at the end!!!! Beans love

You can't watch WandaVision till after Avengers Endgame.

Looking at the MCU sequence on Wikipedia, apparently the next one up is Ant Man, then Captain America: Civil War (which despite the title is actually an Avengers movie), then Doctor Strange. Jarvis the AI was named after Jarvis the person, who was Tony Stark's father's valet and Peggy Carter's sort of sidekick in the "Agent Carter" TV series which aired concurrent with the next couple of films.

Yes, they really dropped the ball not giving us a Black Widow stand alone movie much earlier and when they did it was all prequel.

The "Veronica" defense system is a bit of an injoke because Banner's longtime romantic interest in the comics and first movie was named Betty (Betty & Veronica from the Archie comics)

15:14 "Are we gonna get to see _nakey Thor?"_ Not in this movie, Ashleigh. Have a little patience.

Ashleigh-“she has visions and stuff”… agreed, haha!!!

Ultron = James Spader...part of the Brat pack days of the 80s. Him and Robert Downey, Jr. were very close (still are?) and did some crazy good movies together. Less Than Zero for one. Spader's voice is mesmorizing.

Eugene O'Neill is an American playwright who wrote the play _Long Day's Journey Into Night,_ a biographical piece set in August 1912, and spans a single day from 8:30am til midnight.

The Avengers aren't going to meet up with the Guardians for a while. But don't worry. They will. It is...inevitable. "(Wanda's) so scary..." Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. "Ultron is gonna be a creation of Tony’s." Only here. In the comics he's a creation of Hank Pym. "Did (Cap) almost move it?" Yes. Yes, he did. "What do we call the new guy with the Infinity Stone?" I know, right? What do we call a perfect Vision like that? "What am I supposed to do with that information?" Wait another couple dozen movies. But trust me, it's worth the wait.

Loving and appreciating the kitty brushing ASMR at the end. I did find my eyes getting heavy by the time the video ended. GOODNIGHT, BEANS & FRIENDS!
