Tony's entire arc post-IRON MAN 3 feels like it was written around the Schrödinger's Cat-like status of Robert Downey Jr.'s movie contract with Marvel.

Age of Ultron didn't even really address it at all, it was Whedon just being like "Okay but I have to have him in the suit for the basic premise of my movie so I'm ignoring this" Civil War, at least, felt like an honest moment of acknowledging "Ok here's what would happen then"

Tony's entire Ultron program feels like an extension of him wanting to retire as Iron Man whilst also having the Avengers looking at him expectantly whenever there's a crisis.

Tony definitely wanted to be the Vince McMahon of the Avengers, nominally a noncombatant but he still has the same entrance music from like 1995 and it hits like every other week

Then again, I feel like IRON MAN 3 introduces a massive plot hole with the remote controlled suits. Why does he need to physically suit-up ever again if he can just pilot the armor from a safe distance?

Well, Age of Ultron is about this system going horribly wrong

Yeah, but that's when he tried to delegate the controls to AI. He could just do what the Sovereign do in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL.2.

It does always bear pointing out how weakened the whole point of Age of Ultron is by having the problem never be with Tony's tech in and of itself but be with his decision to plug an evil wizard staff into it

Even worse, you can make a strong case the *actual* problem is that Tony fucked off to have a party while leaving the project in the care of an explicitly inferior AI. If an actual human were around, they could have just pulled the plug on Ultron or stopped him from making a body

Yeah but he was gone for like four hours I mean sure it's a joke about Tony not realizing how "the Singularity" works and what happens when an AI experiences exponential growth But come on

When he and Bruce left the lab Ultron didn't even *exist* yet He angrily asks Bruce afterwards "Were we anywhere close to an interface?", i.e. the scepter wasn't even actually fully plugged into JARVIS yet, JARVIS was still trying to figure out how to actually do that

I mean, he was working on a being he'd considered entrusting the future of humanity to, using technology he barely understood (to the point I believe no one really knew Stones were a thing at the time). You'd think some absolutely unprecedented security would be called for.

Actually, what role do Ultron level AI _have_ in Thanos' power structure? Why would he and the Chitauri even have such a thing given that neither the THOR or GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY movies indicate that AI are any sort of big deal in the wider universe?
