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

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"

Ultron really should've been saved for multi-film arc. With Vision created in like his second or third appearance, after he's escaped once and had time to rebuild himself and become a more ominous world-ending threat

James Spader does feel kind of wasted

Yeah I mean Ultron's whole shtick in the comics is how he can't be permanently killed and keeps coming back with new version numbers

The "first" Ultron in the comics isn't even Ultron 1, he's Ultron 5, he's already escaped and upgraded himself four times and just wiped Hank Pym's memory of it

Anyway, re: "wasted James Spader", here's RedLetterMedia's edit of Age of Ultron dubbed over with the dialogue from Spader as Robert California on The Officehttps://youtu.be/Tf-_230SjbM

The weird thing is I really like this as a serious alternate concept for what Ultron is like An AI that got plugged into the Internet and just has so much junk data to process about stupid human bullshit it goes mad

His nature means he can't help but react to the steady flow of new information by generating hot takes and reviews and listicles and novel fetishes and the only way to make it all stop is to destroy humanity
