7-8/10 The plot was good but compared to the other 3 Avengers films, this one was kinda lacking As a philosophy nerd, this film is my favorite Nietzschean film in Marvel though. Ultron is the embodiment of the idea of the Übermensch... Rewatching this film even made me realize how much they referenced Nietzsche here 🤣 - "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" is from Nietzsche - "There are no strings on me" is one of the traits of the Übermensch-- following only yourself and your own will, not caring what other people think or say - and Ultron just generally embodying the "master morality" by doing everything in his power to achieve his personal goals (human extinction for earth's survival) In contrast to Vision, who Ultron called a slave to Stark (basically Nietzsche's Master vs Slave Morality)
Ultron is the most relatable villain. Goes on the internet for 10 minutes and decides all of humanity needs to be destroyed. my guess is he started with twitter
Also, not sure if you noticed because it was cut out, but Clint (Hawkeye) ended up naming his son’s middle name after Pietro! I thought that was a very sad/good part of the movie a lot of people tend to miss.
@@reecejohnson6357 Thor 4 is THE example. Sure, a couple other projects may have slightly overdone it, at least according to some people, but that is the only thing that really, extremely, crashes and burned because of it. If it was happening with every other project, y’all would be right, but it’s not.
I'm glad you liked this one. It tends to be slept on by the MCU fanbase cause it doesn't hit the highs of the first Avengers or Infinity War/Endgame, but I think it's a good film in its own right. Ultron is an instantly compelling villain, a dark reflection of Tony's worst traits: arrogance, cockiness, a misguided understanding of right and wrong (which, in fairness, Tony did grow out of), even his abandonment issues are there in his interactions with Wanda and Pietro. I am sad that Pietro died, but considering the legal issues around him and Wanda, if Marvel could only choose one to use for more than one film, I think they made the right choice. The things they do with Wanda in later entries are among my favorite storylines in all the MCU.
The reason Quicksilver died is due to licensing. Lawyers killed Quicksilver. When 20th Century Fox bought the rights to makes X-Men movies, they got the rights to the X-Men comic characters. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were both Avengers and X-Men in the comics. They compromised, and MCU got Wanda while 20th Cent Fox got Pietro. There is an X-Men version of the character. Note: Because Disney bought 20th Century Fox (and made a deal with Sony, who has... other characters), in Phase 4, the old X-Men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool and Spidermen films become sort of quasi-canon (you'll see). It might be wise to add them into your schedule.
A little interesting fact about Mjolnir in Norse myth is that, in theory, anyone can lift it. The 'worthy' thing is something that Marvel made up. In actual myth, it's just insanely heavy, not even Thor can lift it without the use of both a magic belt and bracers that enhance his strength, only his son Magni is naturally strong enough to lift Mjolnir
If I remember correctly, The Vision gets his name because when Ultron created him, he would say "I am The Vision of my Master's wish" Or something like that
Also, in the movie, Thor has a vision of the infinity stones spawning a hero, which leads him to use his powers to fuse the stone with the metal body. Thor recognizes the new hero as "the vision" he saw.
regarding hulk, bruce actually has DID (like moon knight aka dissociative identity disorder) unfortunately it wasn't translated well on screen/ wasn't explained properly in the films so if you see she hulk, his cousin doesn't have that alter ego plus bruce eventually remains as himself when he is the hulk / accepted his alter or something since he's always been pushing hulk away not wanting to accept him)
you predicted ultrons mission, and you saw how cool a jarvis/robot/magic stone hybrid would be. and you want wandas powers. you are absolutely gonna love the next few movies. your spirit is right for this story arc.
This is personally one of my favorite movies. Mainly because it’s when we finally get Wanda and Pietro (aside from the end credit scene introducing the twins). It also shows how not everyone sees them as heroes, but as dangerous people. Which they are, but it’s the fact that they are the ones in control of being good or bad that scares the people
The nuke in 2012 Avengers worked because both Loki and the Chitari thought of humans as a step above cavemen and didn't expect the mother ship in another realm to be attacked. If they saw it coming, I'm sure they would have either shields or blew it up. Also....plot armor 😅
I still very much enjoyed this movie. Also, Bruce has Dissociative Identity Disorder. it was formed during his childhood, abusive father, and the Hulk personality is his bottled rage and destruction Alter who protects Bruce from outside dangers. When he was exposed to Gamma rays, his Hulk Alter turned into an actual Hulk monster who gets stronger the angrier he gets, making him nary unstoppable. So Bruce is the main, and Hulk is the Alter. Bruce begins to understand how to use his anger & rage on command, hence "that's my secret, Captain: I'm always angry." That's how he can transform at will.
Infinity Stones so far: The Tesseract (the stone is inside the cube): Space Stone (currently in the vault of Asgard) The Scepter (the one in this movie even if the scepter was presented in The Avengers first): Mind Stone (currently in Vision's head) The Aether (that red goo-mist of the dark elves in Thor The Dark World): Reality Stone (currently with The Collector) The Orb (stone inside it, the one in Guardians): Power Stone (currently under the protection of the Nova Corps in Xandar) You still have to meet the Time Stone and the Soul Stone
Can't wait til you get to Captain America 3 (Civil War) Probably my favorite Marvel film... It's like a mini Avengers film with how many characters there are lol
In the scepter, the stone causes trouble and chaos. Freed from the scepter and casing, it makes Vision. The scepter was booby-trapped, by the one Loki was working for. . .
9:54 I love how Marvel keeps predicting stuff and made the end plot right from the beginning in phase 1 and teh rest of the movies just built it on for the finale where it all comes down. Like it only took two more phases but Tony Stark was right
Riding a motorbike is one of my biggest fears too 😂 honestly I appreciated this more with rewatches and reactions because it set up soooo much for the future because things come back around.
Marvel had to fight to include the Maximoff twins in this movie because of copyright issues with 20th Century Fox, their competition at the time, and it's the main reason Pietro died. Fox owned the movie rights to X-Men characters, while Marvel owned Avengers. Wanda and Pietro were the only classic comic characters that clearly counted as regular members of both teams, so neither studio could claim exclusive rights to them, but it made things really awkward. Marvel couldn't use the word "mutant" so they had to completely change their origin story and use the word "enhanced," and Fox had the rights to their super-hero names of "Scarlet Witch" and "Quicksilver" so even though they're listed in the closing credits and everyone in the real world used them anyway, you'll notice no one in the movies ever call them anything but Wanda and Pietro until much later after Disney acquired Fox. Fox chose to introduce their own version of Quicksilver in an X-Men movie around this time, and that's why they killed Pietro off but kept Wanda on the Avengers.
Basically ultron wants to end the humans cuz when we go to war to get peace it will always end with another war so to stop war we need to end what started it.
That old guy with the drink, is founder and half creator of almost every single Marvel super hero. That man is Stan Lee. Jewish hero and prolific creator. You are now a “True Believer” Excelsior!
That giant iron man suit…what that is is probably the dopest suit he’s made, called the “Hulkbuster” suit, something stark made to deal with hulk related emergencies, such has him losing control. And as you can see, it handles them quite well
1. Yes, ultron was an idea of Tony to protect Earth..it was an idea came from his goal of protecting everyone and his fear of not protecting everyone enough..especially after New York and his anxiety attacks in Iron Man 3..then, Wanda just solidify that threat and fear in his mind..that's why he insist on using the stone to create Ultron.. 2. Thor's hammer can only be wield by someone worthy, as Odin's spell cast on it, "whomsoever lift this hammer, if he deem worthy, shall possess the power of Thor" 3. that's the Hulkbuster armor with Veronica as its AI.. 4. ok, wanda and pietro thought Stark was the one who attacked their house and killed their parents..but its not..remember Iron Man 1, Obadiah sold Stark weapons to anyone, even enemies of the state..that's where the missile with Stark brand came from.. 5. yes, until this movie, there are 4 infinity stones already..Tesseract holds the Space Stone, Vision have the Mind Stone, Nova Corp have the Power Stone (GOTG), and the Collector have the Reality Stone (Thor: Dark World). 6. yes, next is Ant-Man, end of Phase 2..Phase 3 line-up is Doctor Strange, Captain America: Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Spiderman: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame and Spiderman: Far From Home..
One of my fav Avengers movie! Hehe fun fact: The scene where Wanada was ripping Ultrons heart was a hint that she's gonna be powerful af. Ultron's body is made up of vibranium it to took Thor, Tony and Vision to damaged his body. Though we can argue that it's already partly damaged when wanda was ripping ultron's heart but man, that's vibranium bruh haha
The Hulk knows right and wrong, and he does know who his friends are, but he is in a constant state of rage. This isn't a perfect way to describe it, but it is the best I got without going into a lengthy talk about mental health and anger issues.
Tony made Ultron to “protect the earth”, not “protect humanity” so of course, Ultron came to the conclusion that the problem with earth WAS humanity. This “miscommunication” all because of 2 things: 1) Wanda’s manipulation 2) Tony was low key still paranoid because of the events of “Avengers 1”- and maybe a little bit of PTSD from having to ALMOST SACRIFICE HIMSELF to save earth!
The hulk isnt explained much in the MCU but how I understand it from the comics is that "The Hulk" was an alter Ego that banner had before even the gamma experiment that turned him into the green monster, and after that experiment, it gave shape to Bruces alter ego, literally being a hulk
The worst part about them delifing Quicksilver that way is the fact that it's so unnecessary and unrealistic considering how fast he is. He was fast enough to get them all out of the way without getting hit once, but that's the way they decided to delife him off. If they wanted to delife him off they could've had him get delifed by Ultron mid battle after he saved those two.
I loved this movie when I first watched it. My only issue is them making Ultron another joke machine. What makes Ultron so scary is that he doesn't care. There is no emotion, just logic as he slaughters humanity. If you ever watch Earth's Mightiest Heroes, THAT is my Ultron. He's the Ultron I compare all others to and this Ultron is nothing like him Edit: To answer your question since I don't think the movie does, that armor is called the Hulkbuster. Does exactly as it says😅
What makes this Ultron the scariest version to me is that he's completely right about the Avengers up to this point and they have no retort or way of stopping him until they've grown as characters and as a team. The team from the first movie had no way of stopping Ultron.
Thor: The Dark World had the Red Stone (Reality Stone/The Aether) Avengers had the Blue Stone (Space Stone) Guardians of the Galaxy had the Purple Stone (Power Stone) This movie had the yellow stone (Mind Stone)
You should watch what if because alot of your questions get answered in that! Amazing series! Love the reaction I loved this movie when it came out didnt deserve the hate it got
Saying at the end that the movie was awesome…Thank you!!! I swear man, I don’t know where all the hate for this movie comes from? I mean seriously tho…is it the best? No imo tho it’s pretty freaking good and it’s damn hard to try and follow up the original, yet again imo they did a damn good job honestly! As far as this version of Quicksilver……🤔……well, I adore the actor that plays him and for such a lack of screen time, I think it was as good as was possible within the restrictions that I mentioned. His death or at least the whole situation that lead to it…sucked, badly, it was almost silly how it happened. But I do appreciate the callback of “I bet you didn’t see that coming”(or w/e the exact words were😅) was quite nice and his and Hawkeye’s little back and forth banter was actually really funny and I’m fact I think that the most humorous stuff in the entire movie was almost solely attributable to Hawkeye and Quicksilver’s quips! I mean ffs my dudes…one of my favorite parts of the movie was Hawkeye, especially when he says something like; “ no one would know…last I saw Ultron was sitting on him…he’ll be missed…I miss the little bastard already” oss like that! Soooo freaking good to me!🤦♀️😅😂😏👍
(25:38) "does the hulk have a different personality" a deleted scene from infinity war has baner and hulk "talking", they disagree, they each have their own view of the other, but in the end, they realize they both want the same thing, to exist, after that, they become one person. we don't get to see that in the real movie, and it kinda happens "off screen" before the next movie.
only stones youve seen at this point are the space stone/tessaract, power stone/orb from guardians of the galaxy, mind stone/lokis scepter and visions stone, and the reality stone/red goop from thor 2
To answer your question, yes the Hulk and Bruce Banner are separate personalities. In the comics Bruce Banner actually has multiple personalities for Hulk
Easily my favourite, I get that there are haters, but Ultron is my favourite character by far, plus the Hulk fight was filmed in my country, so it was good to see him thrashing the cops
Fun Fact Because Ultron is so tall his actor had to have a head piece with a mocap ball on a stick so they could animation his head properly. Unfortunately other actors on set kept looking at Ultron’s Actor’s actual face and not the ball, so when you apply CGI it just looks like everyone is staring at Ultron’s crotch
