THOR'S VISION in AGE OF ULTRON Came True! (and sets up AVENGERS: SECRET WARS!) 

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Head to keeps.com/SCREENCRUSH to get a special offer.

Kevin Feige watching your video and going: "Great, now we have to change the whole storyline up AGAIN!"

Age of Ultron was a masterpiece , so many details important for the rest of the MCU and James Spader's performance was one of the best villain till this day

Also, Ryan, Wanda isn't to blame for the Nigeria incident. When Crossbones started the attack, he was specifically after Captain America for his damaged face. When Crossbones started talking about Bucky, Steve chose to continue to listen, and he wasn't aware of Crossbones' bomb. Had Steve been more attentive in the moment, he could've prevented the incident in its entirety. The Nigeria biohazard was Steve's fault, not Wanda's. He even admits it to her later when the media is bashing her. However, I wouldn't be surprised if that's going to be the moment where mutants will be hated in the MCU, making Magneto's cause more personal.

I love Avengers: Age of Ultron especially because of Wanda, Vision and Pietro. Thanks for this video, Ryan.

Age of ultron underrated

10:30 Shows a clip of Steven Universe but it labels it as Gravity Falls.

Doug as Thor is goshdang precious.

I BEEN SAYING IT SET UP SO MUCHHH FOR SO LONG!!!! I watched every vision frame by frame!!!! And if my theory is even close to what they’re actually doing I’m so excited this is the type of shit that made me fall in LOVE with the MCU! 😭❤️❤️

Yo the Cap shield went hard but I thought he was using the shield as a splint to give his arm time to heal from an arm break, Another theory the stone wanted to kill off most of the life on earth to slow down the Celestial from growing in earth

Everyone I've talked to seemed to miss that Cap shield strap/tourniquet thing, but I've never been able to get it out of my head. To me, it's the most...visceral... part of the movie.

My mind is blown wow age of Ultron still has more Easter eggs. Wait so does that mean the infinity stones are the main threat's of the marvel cinematic universe?

I called this when he was in that water it showed it all .. that’s why Thor was worried and mad to fight thanos and get a thanos killing weapon

THANKS for this, Doug and Ryan!!!!

Wanda NEEDS to comeback

This is a very well thought of and written video

That deleted Thor scene really needed to be in there, otherwise it was just gratuitous shirtless Hemsworth

Thor is still incredibly important to the MCU at Large and there is a reason his story continues after having had 4 films

Brooo. Great catch on the Cap scene!!

11:12 did ryan just burp in the middle of his sentence and kept on going like nothing happened? ☠️

Ryan are you serious about 9:35 ? 😂

This is one of the best workout videos I have ever watched. You guys bent, stretched, tip-toed, and fully forced your way into some of these theories. Some of this is simple and you guys are over-over analyzing it. How do I know? The name "Mephisto" ring a bell? Never, not once did anything have to do with him, yet almost all of phase 3 you kept predicting he was the force behind everything.

Another great video! I really like when these videos are framed positively as opposed to "the thing you thought about this movie is wrong" format

Great stuff. Making all the connections. This is part of why Age of Ultron is one of my favorites.

I just love the way y'all do the intro for any sponsors lol.. it's fun and very catchy... can't stop watching your videos... 100/100

My MCU ended with Thanos living out his life peacefully on a farm with half the universe still snapped out of existence. Nothing after Infinity War is cannon.

Brilliant. THAT'S why I follow this channel! (Among many other reasons*) Awesome theory crafting, as usual! Keep up the good work!

Doug is a king! 👑❤

10:51 Steven being named as "Gravitty fals" omg

This all adds up to me. There was also the really cool moment on Age Of Ultron at 39min. 10sec. Into the film. Wanda says “Stark” and her eyes flicker red and in that exact moment Ultron realizes she is the Scarlet Witch. That movie going into Infinity War is why I think Phase 3 will forever be the best part of the MCU.

Hey Doug! Can you fix the audio so that the media shown matches Ryan's voice or add Closed caption to the media?

I am so sorry, I've been watching you for years and I just realized I wasn't subscribed, for that ima like every single video you've ever made that I could find as recompense, appreciate you greatly Ryan, you and Doug both keep up the good work , much love from the Bahamas brother

10:52 that is not Gravity Falls 👀😂😂

Already my 4th time rewatching, the best in the buisness Ryan👍🏾

You can always tell when there aren’t any comic related movies or series on because these videos start reaching really, REALLY hard.

10:52 steven universe is actually gravity falls

I agree with most of the theory with the exception of Steve Rogers being Peggy's secret Husband since it was made a fact that when someone time travels they go into a alternate timeline while their original timeline stays the same.

What do you think of our theories?

We need a short series on Thor’s adventures during that time.

Masterpiece work Ryan

This is my favorite Avengers film oddly

The Kang Dynasty would be a semi perfect way to give us all of those fanboy moments by having the original Kang as he crosses paths with all of the various heroes that would become a thorn in his side... we would get to see him jump from altered timeline/universe to universe and learn his adversaries' weaknesses but also encounter new versions as he does. This would give him the prior knowledge he would need to manipulate these visions to pursue a new path for himself. The potential is there for this to be great. On a side note, if we get the Battleworld I hope Fiege goes all out with variants bringing in the likes of Lou Ferrigno (hopefully to maybe play an older Hulk we know and want to see... Maestro) and maybe bring in Nicholas Hammond who played Peter Parker in the old late 70s The Amazing Spider-Man TV series as a Spider-man: Reign variant. Bring in Thomas Jane as Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe variant. Or bring in Thomas Jane, Dolph Lundgren and Ray Stevenson as members of The Punishers from the futuristic Guardians 3000 universe. Bring in the Fantastic Four actors from the 1994 disavowed Roger Corman film and give them a shot to reclaim those roles but as variants while simultaneously paying homage to all the efforts of those in the past that struggled to bring these great comics to live action. That's not likely going to happen I know.. but still it would be awesome to see them (Marvel) put maximum effort into trying with Secret Wars to connect everything live action that has come before. Again... the potential is there. I just hope they are serious about getting this franchise back on track.

Great video with some great points 👏🏻

This guy is the best

Steve wouldn't have to worry about doing anything to make his past happen the way it did while on the timeline. It already happened. Anything he did to make that future happen, he already did.

Solid video bro 🎉🎉🎉

Another fantastic video !!!

MT called that tourniquet theory out

Now we just need them to go back to this level of quality in production of new movies

Love your videos always make me think which is a good thing

Ahh yes….good to see ya’ll finally giving this film the respect and acknowledgment it very much deserves. Without this film…quite literally the future of the MCU doesn’t happen. Age of Ultron set into motion sooo many events for the future MCU to dive into.

It was like a trailer for a move in middle of a movie 🤣

Wow, Ryan this is your best video essay in a long time. I like how you linked everything from the visions Wanda gave the Avengers. It ties all the phases together even leading into what's to come in the future. I can't poke any holes in it. Well done.

This channel is now a better source of marvel content than the official movies and shows

Wow, that was a lot. I'm going to need some time to process. *Immediately turns on Age of Ultron for the first time in years

My love for Age of Ultron is increasing ❤.

Honestly Wanda's son has the power too.. He can play the Franklin Richards role and make Wandavision more impactful by resetting the universe with or without himself

Remember when Tony says to Bruce - “mmmmm…mmmm…mumbles something else…” - announcer comes back at full clear volume

No, Wanda specifically saw Tony's fear and hyped it via hex, even though Pietro asked why they didn't just kill him. She had great joy on her face when she was him snatch that scepter. She can read minds, ya know.

You're an Awesome theorist, Ryan

It all sets up Secret Wars!

Erm, did you just attribute a Stephen Universe clip to Gravity Falls?

I always thought Tony’s vision was to convince him to sacrifice himself later. Tony hates feeling like a failure. Knowing that you have to die so everyone else can live is tragic.

That Wanda theory makes sense. It gives me the "house of M" vibe but instead of erasing some mutants from existence , she is the reason they exist in the MCU

My brains just exploded

I have made my own observations about Wanda Maximoff In M.O.M. Where she said that the Crypt On wondagore mountain Was a throne, Which means through Dream walking into her other variants she would be able to rule the multiverse

if we really are getting Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Franklin could already exist. It's a long standing theory that the Fantastic Four have secretly been around in the main MCU for quite a while, so Reed & Sue could very well already be married & parents to Franklin. ( btw I'm half joking given Pedro's most famous roles are both a dad to a "magic" child...Din with Grogu in Star Wars and Joel to Ellie in TLOU. )

I'm just waiting for the day when other Avengers meet Loki: The God of Stories 😊

This channel is so good it’s depressing. The MCU can’t live up to this channel’s theories and explanations.

Now I have a headache 😆

"A whirlpool of darkness that has that at its center," said Thor about the Mindstone. The Mindstone, a conscious entity that predates our universe planned all of this to create a body for itself. It chose Wanda, the first human to touch an Infinity Stone and live. The events of WandaVision were its preparation for her to become the Scarlet Witch and bind her to that mythical figure's elder god Chthon at Mount Wundagore. Wanda sacrificed herself on that dark deitiy's alter at the end of MOM after destroying every Darkhold in the multiverse. Only a being with multiversal powers could do such a feat and she'd been siphoning America's power for quite some time before her sacrifice. (She learned she could siphon powers from others from Agatha.) I agree Wanda will return as a Nexus being with multiversal powers. But it was the Timestone all along . . . I agree with maybe 90% of your theory. Well done! But the first season of Loki was so uneven, messy and disappointing I couldn't get into the 2nd and just don't care about that messy rewrite of MCU canon, let alone that goofy, unimpressive Kang orchestrated anything that happened previously. Totally unconvinced.

this is all great, just one problem. Why would the stones listen to Kang?

I believe it was suppose to set up Infinity War/ End Game. In Tony's vision the avengers look dead which happened (to half), and Caps shield was in half which also came true. I do not think Kang had nothing to do with that. If he had anything to do with anything, I think it started when hulk busted in the door knocking tony down and giving the Tesseract right to Loki's Feet.

Retrofitting of the highest caliber

Isn’t “He who remains” now “He who was replaced”? Or maybe “He whose character is done in Marvel”?

So Wandda would alter, or fix reality.. By making contact with the world tree Loki made, since he's the one holding ONTO reality... I like it😊😊💀💀🤭🤭

Good video !

Someone must be happy that the new season of Halo has started because he keeps taking us on a journey to Reach.

*I JUST NOW REALIZED* that He Who Remains actually tricked Loki into becoming the God of Stories and taking his place on the throne. When you mentioned HWR getting released from his *Time-Prison,* it occured to me that MAYBE the only reason HWR was there in the first place was the same as Loki. He was just trying to save his favorite multiverse story or whatever. Now Loki took his spot, so HWR is free to leave and now really crank up his *KANG DYNASTY*

Holy Shit! The scene where cap tightens his shield was something that I Just could not get over and have talked about since the day I saw it! You're literally the first person I've ever heard even mention it at all! That along with a few other great things Evans did as "Capt" Really change my feelings on Captain America in general I really love the way he portrayed him! 🤘🏾🫡🫡🫡

your spot on by making the connection between kang and the infinity stones...but i think the big difference is that kang isn't using them, he's actually afraid of them...cause like ultron from what-if if thanos didn't destroy the stones he could travel the multiverse and kill off kangs and if thanos was willing to wipe out half of all life to save everyone from the celestials he would definitely hate Kang ...so Kang probably moved things around so that thanos could have all the stones and destroy them...this also explains why there's so many infinity stones in the tva...but if you think about it everyone who used one or all of the stones or has some type of power from the stones are conveniently out of kangs way right now, doctor strange is off planet, wanda is dead, tony is dead, ronin is dead, thanos is dead, starlord doesn't have powers anymore, vision died and came back without the stone, captain marvel and hulk will be more worried about saving people, loki only came back because Kang wanted to use him..Kang could easily say he is the reason the avengers exist and it was all to get rid of the stones which is his biggest threat

It's impossible for Steve to have always been Peggy's secret husband because Steve going back in time creates a timeline branch. It's impossible for Steve to do anything on his own timeline branch (the sacred timeline) via time travel. The life Steve lived with Peggy was a branch that the TVA would have had to allow since Steve ended up back on his own branch to give Sam the shield, which was "supposed" to happen.

I would say that Howard Stark created an unintentional brother rivalry between Cap and Tony.

Lol Ayo I really appreciate u bro u pieced everything perfectly u and ya cool azz dog 😂😂

2 ads in the first 5 minutes is crazy

Bro even Visions’ name is The Vision. So literally without that VISION there would be no VISION because he never seen The Vision. 😂😂😂

What about Nemesis? (The primordial being that the stones are believed to be parts of after it ended it's existence.) I think giving nearly all the credit to Kang leaves out room for the bigger picture with the true cosmic beings

I think we can all appreciate the TRUE He Who Remains...Kevin Feige.

Don’t forget that Wanda’s hex gave Monica her powers, and she got stuck in another universe

I thought hydra created the AI and Tony tried to tweak it but ended up unleashing its homicidal version

Great video. you should do these theories in animation, Ik it's expensive , maybe like in the how should...ended type of videos. wait are these your demo reel to be hired by marvel as a writer?

I loved that scene that was cut! I bought the Blu-ray specifically so I could have a view of the FUTURE‼️ One question I still have... In Tony's dream there were two woman that looked dead; who was the other one???

I didn’t miss this

9:47 you don’t put a tourniquet directly over the wound to stop bleeding, you put it above the wound. He did that to use the shield as splint for his broken forearm. When he pulls it tight you hear the bone set. Did Colton write this?

👏 bravo..

That means that when Loki’s vision from the Tesserac about glorious purpose is given to him by He Who Remains?! 😮

The clip at 10:51 isn't from Gravity Falls, its from Steven Universe. Love the show, keep up the good work -M

Screencrush ❤

Saying it again, Wanda is not dead. Great this shows that she is out there

Let's get nuts.
