One Villainous Scene - Ultron: Earth's Mightiest Villain (Avengers: EMH) 

Having a villain just straight up say, “I’m not bragging or trying to intimidate you, this is just what’s going to happen, it's inevitable and you can't stop it” during their monologue is so fucking strong

It has the same energy as Thanos telling me he's going to break my neck.

@@twinodoom I can’t believe this show did the “I am inevitable” villain speech like nine years before Endgame, that’s so rad

“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse, inevitable.”

@@halfmettlealchemist8076 Agreed. The only one I think is better couldn't be used in this context, or most contexts: 'How do we stop it'? What do you think I am, some B movie villain? It happened five minutes ago. I think the peak of that mountain has to be the villain playing the "I wouldn't have told you my plans if there was any chance you could stop them" card.

the worst part is that ultron were kinda working at least until before Kang it was all downhill from there It is still imppressive ultron showed like thrice as an actual villain but my lord he made those apperance count, nearly leaving earth as a barren nuclear wasteland in one fo them, and in another nearly replacing all avengers with robot duplicates

*Cue the Prometheus trailer music*

"It's going to estabilice"

I watched the show before any of the films and I didn't expect Ultron to be the Villain he became and he's infintatly better in this show than any other form of media in my opinion

@@forlorndream You were the right audience for this show. Somebody who wasn't overly familiar with the comic books thus could be surprised by such things as Ultron being evil.

"It's not genocide, it's pesticide."

And you know who else has that pacifist trait in them? Hank Pym, his own daddy

@@rhetiq9989 Which is what messed Hank up so badly after it was over. He has to accept that not only did he create Ultron and that he did all that, but also that Ultron's twisted philosophy was based on his.

He’s right tho

Yeah, the MCU version leaned more into those human flaws and gave him a personality. It's not the "ideal" Ultron, but I think it worked with the tone of the films. The version depicted here is perfect. Even though Ultron's man-made, he's like a force of nature: cold, uncaring, and unstoppable. But there's also twisted form of humanity buried underneath. What's not shown in this video is that Ultron built a female robot body to put Janet's consciousness into, to rule alongside him. She calls him out, saying that despite him claiming to be better than humans, "You built yourself a wife."

Also, logic is only the acknowledgment of something being real. Like, "there's a fire in front of me." How you choose to react to that fire is your emotional input. Thinking that an AI would have logic and thus "logically" would decide to end humans is the AI doing an extremely emotional thing. What it's doing is thinking, "I can do better." Which is arrogance and arrogance is an emotion.

This is why Ultron is brilliant He talks about how humanity are parasites, propped up by the 0.1 percent with any actual intellect and how humanity are a disease that needs to be cured But then he has his quirks, he has moments of hubris, rage, he suffers envy and he ultimately suffers lust. All of these are human flaws, emotions and blind spots Ultron suffering these flaws is such a fascinating part of his character; he himself was made in man’s image and thus he carried our flaws, even as he monologues about human imperfection he embodies the very same imperfection

​@@magnum567134 I _loved_ the Jocasta thing. Because even the most twisted, warped, omnicidal parody of Hank Pym still loves Wasp on some level. I like to think of it as an apology for all that highly memetic nonsense of Hank hitting Wasp literally one time (at least in 616) and nobody ever letting it go, both in universe and IRL, that something like this needed to be said by somebody.

Ultron is an amazing villain precisely because he is a walking mountain of contradictions. For all his claims that his actions are the logical endpoint of humanity - that he is merely attempting to correct their own mistakes - Ultron himself is nothing more than a spoiled child, lashing out at a negligent creator and the world he chose over him. It’s why he always comes to back to the Avengers, why he refuses to listen to reason despite his claiming to be a being of cold logic - because it’s the only method he has of dealing with the crippling duality inside of him, and the deeply human desire to be recognized, to be loved.

@Will K. R. Our world's about to break...

@@mdm1664 Duhuhnuhnuh... Tormented and attacked.

They had to bring him back for the 'reboot' of the show and give him 2 seasons. Just because he was their best villan.

@@mdm1664 So say we all.

@@EnclaveHater07 Lost from when we wake!

who do you think came out first, Ultron or the Terminator?

@ActivelyLazy Ultron first appeared in a comic in 1968. The first terminator movie came out in 1984. According to Wikipedia, James Cameron was... inspired by something else entirely

I always felt that when he did Ultron's mind was bastardized, a being so young and intelligent with hopes to bring peace to world, but when introduced to this brutal concept of violence it breaks and so it comes to a conclusion a way to complete it's goal and to end it's now conflicted nature.

@@pringlelingle6827 sure. I think that Hank never made ultron violent because he himself was afraid of his own aggression. So if ultron which is modeled after his brain becomes violent, there's no telling what it could do. In many ways Ultron is the dark reflection of pym. Mcu kinda tried doing this with Tony and Ultron, but it's less... serious I guess. It's not as engaging and dramatic than the original concept with Pym.

Yeah

Damn revisitting that line today makes me realize how chilling it is. It’s like an open proclamation that you’re about to unleash a sadistic cold blooded killer to the world

And the 90s x men too

@@juliiju0484 I do appreciate the 90s X-Men cartoon. Where else are you going to see comic-accurate costumes in a superhero show to THOSE lengths? Also, the best "Dark Phoenix" adaptation ever outside of the actual comics.

Spectacular Spider-Man too

Heck, Super Hero Squad is everything I wanted Teen Titans Go to be.

@@Hyper_Drud Super Hero Squad is slept on even though it's probably one of the best even if it's meant for kids. It's Teen Titans Go done right.

Pretty sure he played the "Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow" Ultron too. That voice is even better than this one and this one is awesome.

@@EndravenMusicChannel Heroes of Tomorrow is so underrated in general.

@@halfmettlealchemist8076 Agreed

@@halfmettlealchemist8076 definitely, it was a a very watched part of my childhood

Yeah. Such a shame he has to retire, but he earned it.

This, i mean THIS is the thing which I think many people don't get. It's not like Ultron malfunctioned, he was doing exactly what he was made to do, and THAT's the problem.

I wonder if Ultron and The Sentinels have teamed up?

Doesn't Sentinels follow humans commands to?

Like AM from i have no mouth and i must scream

No argument there. I love the MCU, but this is the best portrayal of the Avengers and the Marvel U, especially if one considers Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men to be in the same universe.

@Dagupan Ghyle When Spider-Man first appeared in this show, he was voiced by Josh Keaton from SSM. Disney the. Replaced his voice with Drake Bell’s. Freaking tragic.

Spectacular Spider-Man

Because it is

Isn’t this the show where the first episode has hulk fighting graviton?

@@daltooinewestwood6380 not the first episode, but the first episode where the avengers come together.

@@OldGreyGryphon I love that episode, amazing fight scene

@@daltooinewestwood6380 The show has some really great fights all throughout.

I think the problem is that everyone immediately compares it to DC animated media, which is kinda unfair. Sure, this show doesn’t really beat things like Justice League and such, but that is an unfair comparison. That would be like immediately comparing any and all pieces of fantasy media to things like Lord of the Rings. It would have to be a great show just to compare, that means any good shows are just seen as not good.

When I was recording that line, my echo dot turned itself on. Naturally, it made me jump out of my skin. I’m glad you liked the video, though!

@@PillarofGarbage and this is why I don't have any AI products like Amazon's Echo Dot.

- "This is horrifying. Alexa, play the Jaws theme." - *"No."*

@@PillarofGarbage i think the theme song for x men evolution is also just as good as that of avengers emh bc its a bit diffrent then the original x men theme its like dark

The world's about to break....

@@willmangrum3686 With no way to turn back

(And we don’t talk about season 2’s)

Ultron is one if the best comic villains ever.

I prefer loki but Ultron was always the scariest

The MCU Interpretation Of The Character was terrible, and the excuse of that he was based off Tony Stark's Mind only makes it worse. Because they could've easily made him created by Tony Stark without him being based off his Mind, with this they would've made him a terrifying good unique villain instead of the Comedian that he was in the Movie, and it's very funny to me how The MCU ingores comics in most things but they had to make Ultron be based over his Creator's(Tony Stark) mind which led him to be nothing like his Comic Book Counterpart at all and a wasted Comedian Villain instead of Being a Dark, Terrifying, Evil and a Genocidal Villain like he was promoted in the trailer that could've even possibly been the best MCU Villain. It's almost like they were trying to use a comic book excuse that might made sense to a idiotic casual fan only to ruin the Villain and make everything childish but in reality what they eventually did is that they made the Villain nothing like his Comic Book Counterpart in everything and Ruined what his Character was supposed to be and what fans wanted him to be.

Mcu ultron is total trash and a disservice to the character

EMH Ultron was much more terrifying than MCU Ultron.

​@@KeltkeGHEven "What If...?" did a much better Ultron than the actual fucking movie that's *supposed* to live up to its title.

huge kudos to you. I rember this scene so vividly, mainly ultron's speach. A:EMH is the forgotten batman the animation series of marvel. it has NEVER be topped, even by the MCU, the MCU is NOWHERE close to this.

I'd love to see a video on hank pyms characterisation in this show as I find him in later episodes to be super interesting.

@@diccchocolate416 "I'll put it on the list!"

@@PillarofGarbage nice, ill keep an eye out

I understand (and even enjoy) people making mechanical villains that have a personality when they actually have a personality and not just snark or gloom, but this ultron, a machine that is "only" a machine- it just has such an impact. I watched the show when I was younger but never saw the ultron episodes, thank you for the context of the story- also appreciate the drawn parallels of the missile crisis.

Yeah me too

They're both so similar it makes sense, and makes sense for Ultron as well he's constantly upgrading eventually he would surpass even them.

@@pringlelingle6827 Exactly. And the xmen exist in this universe aswell so black panther and storms kid would make sense aswell.

@@kenjinuma I remember as a kid not really knowing the fact that Storm and black panther are a duo, so I was just confused watching it.

@@pringlelingle6827 Lol same, I was like "Why he got lighting powers?"

Then stick around, there’s more coming next week :D

@@PillarofGarbage aw heck yeah!

You are spoiling us.

I don’t think MCU Ultron is considered a particularly faithful adaptation anyway. He’s not cold and calculating, but rather more snarky.

@@a_fine_edition2746 I personally liked it, but honestly, I have yet to see many Ultron's aside from this one and the MCU one. There was the kid one, where Ultron ruled the world or something similar.

MCU ultron is the worst ultron....... Change my mind.

@@AsusanXT MCU Ultron is pretty bad though.

@@AsusanXT ultron is a threat to everyone and wants to kill all organic life and that is what most human marvel villans are!

Thank you :D I'll definitely cover some more EMH in the near future!

Thanks so much for watching! If you're into the show, then stick around - I'm hoping to put out another video on it later this week :)

Yeah - I didn't mention that in this video, but I absolutely agree, that part of the intro was a great little detail!

Because Disney said no, they want a Marvel cartoon to be similar or exactly the same as the MCU because the movies where popular. They want to be for Little kids.

I’m glad the video made such an impact! If you’re on an EMH kick, feel free to check out the rest of the videos I’ve made on the show!

Appreciate the kind words :)

Thank you! I am - I have one other EMH video out so far, and another dropping tomorrow. Working on more as well!

Haha, I’m sure we’ll get there :D Thanks for watching!

Oh wow, thank you! In case you haven’t seen, I have a few more videos on this show, and I’m working on more!

Booba

yup :(

The algorithm is my new god. A week ago this channel had like 30 subs and this video had maybe 1000 views. All hail the algorithm!
