AGE OF ULTRON is very careful to give Tony as much plausible deniability and mitigating circumstances as possible when accidentally creating Ultron so that they can have the drama of "you created an apocalyptic murder robot!" without actually having him be fully responsible.

Yeah it sucks It sucks enough that future movies just outright fudge/retcon the actual events of the movie to pretend they were something more dramatically interesting

Like how Bruce's conversation with Shuri in Infinity War just acts like Bruce and Tony actually designed and built Ultron and then Vision, as opposed to them plugging the scepter in and then everything kind of cascading on its own from there

Technically, Ultron and Helen Cho jointly created the Vision's body before Tony and Bruce uploaded JARVIS into it and then had Thor jumpstart him with Mjolnir. Acknowledging this though would mean reminding people that Helen Cho exists, so...

The creation of Vision in this movie especially is incredibly blatantly forced "Well we know this has to happen by the end of the movie so how do we get from point A to point Z"

In this sense, it feels a lot like a superhero movie from _before_ the Marvel Studios era where directors would try to cram in as many characters as possible regardless of whether there was room for them in the story. Like BATMAN AND ROBIN or SPIDER-MAN 3.

Yeah Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's presence in this movie feels extremely tacked on, they absolutely do not have enough time to do justice to their story It's very much in the spirit of deciding Mister Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane all need to be in the same movie

On this note, I firmly believe that the decision to kill MCU Pietro was a last minute decision made after X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST came out and it became clear that the MCU version of the character would never live up to the Even Peters version.

The many many jokes about this finally coming to glorious canonical fruition in WandaVision would make WandaVision an all-time classic all by itself

Actually the moment in WandaVision where Tommy runs off with Evan Peters Pietro telling "Yeah! Kick-ass!" and then Wanda stares after them, lost in nameless thought, muttering "Kick-Ass?" may be the best thing that has ever happened in the entire MCU

Wanda would've figured out what was going on much sooner had she not made the tragic mistake of watching Kick-Ass 2, where the character of Todd/Ass-Kicker was recast as Augustus Prew

Anyway in hindsight it's hilarious that Disney didn't actually need to buy out Fox to make this joke, the Fake Pietro character ends up never actually stepping on any X-Men IP

But they just would not have approved doing anything that would cause people to go back and watch the old X-Men movies unless they were the ones getting paid for those views
