Current Events > What could have made Age of Ultron a better movie?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I assume that no one here would rate it 7/10 or above?

I would rate it exactly a 7.0

You assume wrong.

if a young Hank Pym had been in Avengers 1 and already set up. and then Age of Ultron he makes Ultron like in the comics, instead of Tony Stark. and if Ultron isn't always joking, and is deadly serious like a Terminator again like in the comics

my 2 big beefs were Ultron cracking jokes, and that his maker was Tony instead of Pym

An interesting plot would be a start

Totally nixing everything to do with Banner x Black Widow, except maybe keeping the "lullaby."

Eh I think its good for him to have personality to make him more interesting than just a killer robot but they did miss the mark a little bit. I like James spader tho

They just tried to do way too much at once. Trying to tie 90 movies together and not really further anything while still foreshadowing upcoming movies just seems like a terrible way to go about the movie.

IMO They should have done the same thing as in Infinity War, where Everyone kinda just puts their **** on the backburner until this issue is dealt with. They kinda do the same, but eh...

bump

I think making his like Terminator would've been the answer.

Loki is playful and tricksy. He turned Avengers against each other and kept them busy while preparing a big alien invasion. That was pretty entertaining because we get to see the Avengers get their shit together

Thanos is complex and all-powerful. He has more power than most of the Avengers combined, and they never get to pit a fully combined attack against him because Civil War split them up and weakened them significantly

And there it is, Civil War is why Infinity War was able to happen, while Ultron wasn't the thing that did it.

Ultron should've been this ruthless killer that found the most efficient way to destroy humanity. He should've come so close that by the end, the Avengers split up. Maybe a very complex moral question happened along the way or so many key characters or some important government figure dies so that the act that ultimately split them happened within it.

But another thing is that Ultron > Civil War wasn't a bad progression either. Because Ultron felt like everything wrapped up so nicely, we can think they've become really powerful and they can save the world on a whim. But Civil War proved us wrong and then was able to increase the stakes in Infinity War without having to up Thanos' power to "why'd they even have a fight in the first place when Thanos could beat them with a pinkie" level
