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

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

I looked into this and Age of Ultron hails the beginning of a series of movies where every single villain except Yellowjacket, if they had won, would have dramatically changed the Endgame picture

You can't say that Infinity War/The Snap/Endgame wouldn't have happened in broad strokes if Iron Monger, Abomination, Whiplash, Malekith or Aldrich Killian had gotten what they wanted (With HYDRA it doesn't matter since they immediately begin internecine war if they get too big)
