Also like The comics made it really clear that Ultron is a bad copy of Hank Pym's brain and went over how this is reflected in his behavior a bunch of times The movie just kind of alludes to this idea of Ultron being Tony's metal son but barely justifies it

It doesn't say Tony scanned his brain or anything, just kind of handwaves that Ultron learned everything he knew from Tony's computer system

Jokes about turning into a Nazi after 30 seconds on Twitter aside, the movie seems to imply the first thing he read was Tony's vague design document for the Ultron Project and based his identity on that statement about what he was supposed to be

Which is their way of trying to make it so Tony "created Ultron to be a tyrant" without Tony ever actually literally having done so It's a backfiring genie wish

I always got the impression it was more your standard-issue "sees the wickedness of man and immediately decides nope, this will not do."

Well, he learns his assigned task from Tony's design document is to keep humanity permanently safe and prevent the possibility of war from ever happening again, and then logically figures out what that entails

When you put it that way I kind of wish the movie had featured someone from a future where he was [almost] successful and came back to stop him. Too bad they didn't have the rights to Cable at the time, he'd have been perfect

Well yeah that's the thing about the subtitle "Age of Ultron", which everyone made fun of (in this movie it's more like the "Four Days of Ultron") The name is taken from a comic story about a bad future where Ultron actually conquered the world

And Wolverine and Sue Storm go back in time to try to stop Hank Pym from creating Ultron in the past (it's always Wolverine who ends up doing these things)

But yeah actually seeing the Age of Ultron come to fruition does a lot to make Ultron feel like a more real threat, despite his status in canon as the chronically-defeated recurring villain The Age of Ultron is even one of the worlds in the new Secret Wars

I've heard that Ultron doesn't even appear in Age of Ultron and then some dickery happens where Morgan Le Fay of all people becomes queen of Earth?

Well it starts in the bad future where Ultron rules the Earth and then they go back in time to before Ultron was created
