Avengers: Age of Ultron is the 2015 sequel to The Avengers and the eleventh feature film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fifth installment of Phase 2, written and directed by Joss Whedon.Following the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. and re-emergence of HYDRA in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) reassembles The Avengers to take charge of world security. Realizing the Avengers can't respond to every threat, Tony also revives a long-discarded peacekeeping program called Ultron, an Artificial Intelligence based on Tony himself leading an army of Iron Man drones to maintain world peace. But Ultron (James Spader) evolves beyond his creator's programming and decides the only way to save the world from future threats is to eliminate the status quo and those who protect it, starting with the Avengers. With Ultron wreaking havoc, the team sets off to destroy the rogue AI, encountering new heroes (and villains) along the way.Two prequel comics, Avengers: Age of Ultron — This Scepter'd Isle and Avengers: Operation HYDRA were released ahead of the film.If you were looking for the comic of the same name (which has minimal ties to the film itself), see Age of Ultron. If you want the actual comic book storyline the film is based on, see Ultron Unlimited.Previews: Teaser, Trailer 1 Extended Trailer, Trailer 2, Trailer 3, "Final" Trailer, Omaze TV Spot. | |

Applied Phlebotinum: Loki's scepter, an Ancient Artifact with magical Super-Empowering properties. It is directly tied to all the new lead characters: it gave Pietro and Wanda their superhuman abilities, is used to bring Ultron to life, and plays a role in the Vision's creation. It's eventually revealed to contain the fourth Infinity Stone (the Mind Stone). | |

Rasputinian Death | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Ultron's main body takes a lot of punishment to be taken down. First, Tony, Thor and Vision do a concentrated attack that partly melts the right side of his face. Then he's punched over the horizon by the Hulk, but recovers enough to steal a Quinjet. He's then beaten up by the Hulk again before getting thrown out of the Quinjet from thousands of feet in the air. He lands in an abandoned streetcar, with the impact damaging his legs and leaving him unable to move as Wanda comes in and rips out his control unit, shutting him down. Then his A.I. meets its end when Vision destroys the surviving Ultron Sentry. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite their previous experiences, including their prior encounter with an Asgardian and the magical artifacts in his possession, some of the Avengers insist there must be a scientific explanation for why they can't lift Mjölnir. Special mention goes to Hawkeye, who was actually present when Thor was unworthy of his own hammer after being banished to Earth. | |

Instant-Win Condition | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: A rare version that works for the villain. In the climax, Ultron and his drones only have to touch his device once to send the gigantic landmass plummeting to the ground at extreme velocity akin to a meteor, creating worldwide extinction. The Avengers have to prevent any of them from touching the device. One of them eventually succeeds because Wanda abandons her post to confront the main Ultron body and rip out his core for killing Pietro, but Thor smashes the device with Mjolnir while Tony overloads the machine that powers it from below, destroying the landmass before it impacts, subverting this trope. | |

Hulk also has one in the form of My God, What Have I Done? when he sees the aftermath of his rampage when he was also affected by Scarlet Witch's powers, leading him to ditch the Avengers at the end and disappear without a trace. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Peace in our time." Said once by Tony Stark, three times by Ultron - once by replaying a recording of Tony saying it. When Steve dresses down Tony for trying to "win a war before it starts", he's not just talking about Project Insight - he's talking about the horrors he fought before he went into the ice. He's remembering all the fates that were sealed by Neville Chamberlain making a decision for everyone else; "Peace for our time," a year before Hitler invaded Poland. | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One: Toyed with. Stage One (Ultron hacking nuclear launch codes to start World War III) is being continually thwarted by JARVIS throughout the entire film. Stage Two (Ultron getting Vibranium and Scarlet Witch inflicting Visions on all Avengers) succeeds, but Stage Three (Ultron uploading himself into an organic body) is thwarted, leading to Ultron launching Stage Four, which is a variation of Stage One (causing an extinction level event using the vibranium). | |

After Wanda uses her powers to send the Hulk on a destructive rampage through a city, the next time they meet Banner threatens that he could choke the life from her without the slightest change. He's not kidding, either, as he manages to get a chokehold on her and sounds pissed, but is in no danger of Hulking Out even when she manages to knock him away with her powers. | |

Afraid of Their Own Strength | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_1705698 | comment |
Afraid of Their Own Strength: Banner, now that he's willingly transforming to fight with the Avengers, is afraid of what the Hulk could do to his teammates or innocent civilians. After Scarlet Witch makes the Hulk go on a rampage in Africa, Banner decides to run away after the crisis with Ultron is over, and the last we see of the Hulk is him flying away in the stealth quinjet. It's also why Natasha is in love with Banner: amidst all the fighting men all her life, he's the one who'll always run away from a fight because he knows he will always win. He even expresses concern after the opening battle with HYDRA as to whether he killed anyone during the fight (he did, but his teammates lie to him and say he didn't). | |

The Worf Effect | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Most of the team gets smacked around by Pietro and Wanda in the first few fights they get in to demonstrate their powers and how they are much more challenging than the HYDRA mooks. Justified, as the Avengers haven't encountered the twins before this, and are caught off-guard. When Ultron has built a body of vibranium, he shows off his strength by easily overpowering Thor in a straight fight. | |

Bridal Carry | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_187228e0 | comment |
Bridal Carry: Pietro carries Wanda like this when they both need an expedited form of travel. Vision catches Wanda in his arms when the city landmass is detonated and starts dropping. The Hulk arguably carries Natasha like this when he is bringing her to safety on the helicarrier. "Arguably" because he's so massive that it's not the typical bridal carry — his hands are big enough that he can hold her in his palms like an adult would hold a small pet. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: When picking apart the Maximoffs' attempt to intimidate him, Klaue mentions that his greatest fear is the cuttlefish, describing it as a deep-sea fish that uses "disco lights" to hypnotize its prey before eating it. Either Klaue was misremembering or the documentary he watched was inaccurate. Cuttlefish are not fish, tend to live in the shallows, and use their "flashing lights" either for camouflage or communicating with each other. The description Klaue gives fits the anglerfish better than the cuttlefish. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Very much like in the first Avengers and Spider-Man 3, trailers gave this movie a Darker and Edgier vibe enhanced by the creepy Pinocchio songs. However, while it is entirely true that the movie is comparatively darker and significantly more emotional than the first one, it's still doesn't have the shadowy, nightmarish atmosphere the trailers suggested it would. The mysterious cloaked woman who appears inside a cave in a trailer is not included in the theatrical cut of the film. Some trailers show Wanda flinging a bolt of red energy, and then a red beam slamming Tony into a wall. The red beam attacking Tony actually comes from Ultron instead. Captain America's shield broken on the ground was part of a vision created by Wanda to mess with Tony's head. Ultron's line "I'm going to show you something beautiful: the whole world screaming for mercy." is never spoken in the actual film. Instead, the line seems to be bits thrown together from his Motive Rant to a captured Black Widow in the film. A couple of TV spots will have Steve saying "She's with us," which is from a deleted scene where Natasha notices Wanda wearing one of her leather jackets. In the preview version of the "lifting-Thor's-hammer" party game, Tony's joke about ruling Asgard involves working out a "wench clause". In the movie, he says he'll reinstate prima nocta instead; which is the same basic joke about using his authority to get women but simultaneously more obscure and more explicit. In one trailer version of the opening setpiece, Captain America upends a jeep full of mooks by throwing his motorcycle at it, which is immediately followed by Cap muttering "It just slipped." In the film itself, the "it just slipped" line was in response to his own chastising of Iron Man for swearing. | |

Order Versus Chaos | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: Discussed. According to the Vision, the principal failing of humanity is seeing Order and Chaos as polar opposites, rather than part of a single whole. Tony Stark in his desire for "a suit of armor in the world" creates chaos. Ultron in Wanda's words similarly can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. | |

The Cameo: Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba and Julie Delpy all appear in Cap, Thor and Natasha's "dreams" created by Scarlet Witch. Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue. Stan Lee, as per usual, this time as a World War II veteran at Tony's party. Interestingly, Stan is credited as "himself" this time around; aside from hanging out with the fictional Avengers, Stan Lee did indeed serve in the U.S. Army during World War II. | |

The Heart: Hawkeye's character development makes him into this for the team. As the only Avenger without any super powers or a Dark and Troubled Past, as well as a wife and kids to go home to, Clint helps keep the team grounded emotionally and provides a safe haven for them, when they need to work through the emotional trauma inflicted on them by Wanda Maximoff. He also delivers an amazing Let's Get Dangerous! speech to Wanda when she's having a panic attack during the climax. | |

Poor Communication Kills: The entire Ultron mess would never have happened if Tony had been willing to talk about his plans with anyone other than Banner. Played with when Tony openly admits that the reason he hasn't told the other Avengers about the Ultron project is because he knows that Steve, at the very least, would take issues with it. | |

Villain Ball: Ultron captures Black Widow and imprisons her in his lab, but doesn't bother killing her. She uses the chance to signal the Avengers where she is, alerting them that Ultron is back in Sokovia. Ultron could have escaped the final battle in the stolen Quinjet, but he insists on doubling back on a dive run to strafe the Avengers with its gatling gun. This culminates in Hulk ripping him from the cockpit, and Wanda ripping his core out as retaliation for Pietro's death. | |

Hawkeye spends the entire film angsting about his place among "gods", mulling over retirement from the superhero lifestyle, and introducing the Avengers to his idyllic farmhouse replete with caring sweetheart and adorable moppets. Joss Whedon, the epitome of Trolling Creator if ever there was one, subverts it at the last second by having Quicksilver take the bullet instead, complete with a coy "You didn't see that coming?" | |

Dare to Be Badass: Delivered by Nick Fury to rouse the Avengers into continuing the fight.

Villains Act, Heroes React | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_2064626a | comment |
Villains Act, Heroes React: Discussed. Tony brings this up after the Avengers confront him about creating Ultron. Tony accuses the team of being fine with just defeating bad guy after bad guy, and not thinking about the bigger picture, namely, that one day the aliens who attacked Earth will return with an even bigger army. He thus created Ultron as a preemptive move to stop such a disaster, and others, from ever happening. Steve Rogers, who's seen a preemptive scheme (Project Insight) go horribly wrong in The Winter Soldier, retorts that trying "to win a war before it starts" only puts innocents in the crossfire, which Ultron does. Nevertheless, Tony still sees Steve as shortsighted when the soldier's response for one day facing the aliens again is merely the team fighting together again. | |

Good Is Not Soft: Pretty much applies to all the Avengers, especially during the opening battle when they are all shown killing human enemies (in the previous film they were shown mowing down alien monsters, not people). Most vividly shown when Iron Man murders the unarmed Dr. List, and by the depiction of both Hawkeye and Black Widow as being kindhearted (more so than usual for the latter). Only Banner is shown expressing any concern for the HYDRA soldiers afterwards. | |

Chekhov's Gag: In what seems to be a throwaway scene, the Avengers try to lift Mjölnir at their celebratory party, with none of them succeeding because they're "not worthy". As the team heads to Sokovia for the final battle, Vision casually hands Mjölnir to him, to everyone's shock. He even gets to use it briefly against Ultron. Steve is barely able to get Mjölnir to budge. This is also going to get revisited in Avengers: Endgame. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Flipped onto the heroes in this case. Remember how the Iron Legion from Iron Man 3 can be controlled by A.I.? Ultron figures it out. Helen Cho has invented a synthetic tissue that mimics human biology, which she uses to heal Clint. The same technology is later used to construct Vision's body. Two from the previous movie (both involving Thor): the shockwave created when his hammer hits Cap's shield gets weaponized, and his lightning supercharging Tony's technology is used to give life to Vision. During the final battle, Cap damages one of Ultron's drones, which Ultron is using to taunt him, and throws it off the edge of the flying city. This drone reappears at the end, damaged but still functional, as the last vessel of Ultron's consciousness. Vision catches him trying to sneak off. Loki's scepter from the previous film. The artificial intelligence found within its gem is used by Tony and Bruce to complete Stark's global defense program Ultron. Later Ultron uses the scepter to force Helen Cho via mind control into constructing Vision's body and places the scepter's gem on his head. The gem is the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones.. The stealth tech on the Avengers Quinjet is mentioned off-hand on the way to Clint's farm. It comes in handy when Ultron hijacks it and uses it to kill Pietro. In a less drastic use, it also comes in handy when Hulk wants to disappear by the end of the movie. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Thor's Achilles in His Tent storyline does get a resolution when he comes back claiming to have had "a vision" but what was meant to be a longer storyline ended up mainly a Missing Trailer Scene. The Maximoff twins have a major subplot involving them seeking revenge on Tony Stark for killing their parents. There's no real resolution to this, as they only side with the Avengers because they realize Ultron is an even greater evil, not out of any real epiphany about Tony not being such a bad guy. Thor's vision of Asgard was supposed to setup Thor: Ragnarok. Depictions of the Asgardians descending into decadence, demonic musicians, and Heimdall being blinded were all meant to foreshadow the events of the upcoming film. Once Taika Waititi was brought onboard as the film's director, Ragnarok underwent a complete Tone Shift and much of the imagery seen in Thor's vision went unused. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Once the World War II veteran played by Stan Lee gets drunk on Asgardian booze, his Non Sequitur, *Thud* is Lee's Catchphrase "Excelsior". Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver working for Ultron references both the fact that they were introduced as members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, as well as the fact that Ultron was first introduced as the leader of the Masters of Evil. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver don't wear costumes (until Wanda gets one at the end), but the street clothes they wear in the third act have color schemes referencing their suits from the comics. The Mind Stone is yellow unlike its counterpart, which is blue, because the Space Stone (the Tesseract) is blue in the MCU. Despite this, the protective housing for it on Loki's scepter is blue, causing it to resemble the Mind Gem from the comics. Hawkeye's new clothing has elements of both his classic comic outfit and the costume of his Ronin identity. Iron Man's new suits begin to use design elements from Tony's 2010 "Bleeding Edge" comic book armor. The Mark 43 adds the Bleeding Edge's color scheme to the Iron Man 3 suit, while the Mark 45 uses the Bleeding Edge's color scheme and more organic, curved design. The Hulkbuster being a Meta Mecha references its origin as a power-up for the Modular Armor in Iron Man #304. Additionally, the Hulkbuster design in the film is extremely close to the sumo-inspired original design, complete with the round, flat head and large yellow "pads" on the forearms. The only things missing are the giant yellow "hubcap" shoulderpads. Steve is able to budge Mjölnir, unlike the other non-Asgardians in the room; in the comics, Steve is fully worthy of Mjölnir. Natasha refuses to find out if she is worthy of Mjölnir. In a "What-If" storyline, "What If? Age of Ultron", she is and becomes the Goddess of Thunder. Sam shows up at the party wearing a red shirt as a nod to his red costume from the comics. His costume at the end also incorporates more red as a nod to his comic look. Clint calling Thor's immovable hammer "a trick... a circus sideshow" doubles as a reference to comic book Hawkeye learning archery from traveling circus performers. Tony's "This is the end of the path I started us on" line doubles as a reference to the Marvel Cinematic Universe beginning with Iron Man. Ultron introduces himself to the Maximoff twins while wearing a crimson shroud draped over his head and shoulders. In the comics, he was initially introduced as a villain called the Crimson Cowl, and dressed in similar attire. The cape also comes to mind of Magneto, the father of the twins. It is mentioned that Klaue has been branded with the Wakandan word for "thief". In the comics, Wakanda is the home nation of the Black Panther, Klaue's Arch-Nemesis. The Freeze-Frame Bonus on Klaue's dossier: he was hired to kill T'Chaka at the Bilderberg conference in the case that he refused to trade Wakanda's resources, and his great-grandfather was killed by a past Black Panther during a failed invasion of Wakanda. Both of these events were shown in Flashbacks in the Black Panther animated series (though T'Chaka survived this attempt in the MCU, instead being assassinated by Baron Zemo), which were adapted from and by Reginald Hudlin's "Who is the Black Panther?" storyline). Klaue gets one of his hands severed by Ultron. In the comics, his right hand was blown off and replaced with a sonic weapon that later became one of his visual trademark. Ultron chops off his left arm, however.. When Tony is looking through his old A.I. chips before installing FRIDAY, one of them is seen marked "JOCASTA", Ultron's bride-to-be who eventually turned against him. Captain America has an electromagnetic gauntlet that allows him to control the shield. He briefly used a device like that in the '60s' Avengers comics, and it was later used by the Danielle Cage version of Captain America in Ultron Forever. The film ends with Captain America preparing to lead a new team of Avengers after several of the founding members either resign or disappear. This is the nod to Avengers #16, which saw the formation of "Cap's Kooky Quartet" after most of the original team left. Likewise, Hulk angrily leaves the team at the end of this movie, which is the second Avengers film. This is a nod to The Avengers #2, where Hulk similarly quit the team and left for parts unknown. The whole thing of Hulk leaving at the end in a quiet scene may also reference the fact how every episode of The Incredible Hulk ends with David Banner leaving for parts unknown. The only thing left was for "The Lonely Man" to play at that point. (LEGO Marvel's Avengers would later add just that to the scene.) Ultron establishing his base in a castle in a fictional East-European country conjures up images of Doctor Doom (probably intentionally). He even sits on the throne in one scene. It's also an allusion to one of the most popular Avengers stories, Ultron Unlimited. In it, Ultron invades a fictional Eastern European country using an army of his drones. Sound familiar? The name of the band playing in Steve's fantasy are called the Roy Thomas Players. Roy Thomas created Vision, Ultron, and a lot of classic Avengers concepts. During the fight against the Iron Legion after the party, one droid gets its legs blown off and hovers into the air using its hand repulsors. Iron Man himself did a similar thing in Marvel Zombies for transportation after he lost the lower half of his body. During the party, Thor mentions Brunnhilde. Brunnhilde in the comics is better known as Valkyrie, a member of the Defenders and the Lady Liberators. It doubles as foreshadowing since Valkyrie debuts in Thor: Ragnarok. In the fight with the Ultron robots after the party, Hawkeye is the one who throws Steve's shield to him. In the comics, Hawkeye is one of the few people who can throw Cap's shield properly, and was even briefly a possible candidate to be the new Captain America after Steve died. When the Maximoffs first meet Ultron, Ultron says that Wanda "needed something more than a man" in regards to her letting Tony take Loki's scepter, which indirectly caused Ultron's creation. In the comic books, her two most prominent relationships were with beings "more than men": the synthezoid Vision and Wonder Man, who for a time was a being of ionic energy form and from whom Vision's brain patterns were taken. Similarly, Bruce has done the math and notes he can't have children. In the comics, many of his love interests are superhuman, particularly those who have bore him children. A motorcycle driven with Captain America's shield held on the front is reminiscent of his 1979 TV movie. During one speech, Ultron notes that Invaders create Avengers. The Invaders were the first (in-universe chronology) team that Captain America was a part of, and he joined the Avengers afterwards. One of Ultron's few Achilles Heels for a long time in the comics was the Scarlet Witch's magic. While Ultron Prime takes heavy damage from sheer firepower, Wanda effortlessly yanks out Ultron Prime's core like he was just tin. Black Widow's calming phrase is "Hey, Big Guy. Sun's getting real low." Would the Hulk get grey if he was still the Hulk when the sun went down? As Clint recovers from his injury thanks to Helen Cho's bioengineered synthetic cells, he jokingly says how he'll be immortal and made of plastic. Vision, who is created by Cho later in the film, is made of plastoid flesh and synthetic blood in the comics. Fury's line "You kiss your mother with that mouth?" is uttered by Ultimate Captain America to a cussing soldier during a different climactic battle. Just before the finale battle, Natasha calls Tony "shellhead", a common nickname of Iron Man in the comics. A darker one, but in a deleted scene, Tony insults the Maximoff twins by referencing Flowers in the Attic. In the Ultimate Marvel universe, Wanda and Pietro were indeed in an incestuous relationship like in that book. On the merchandise side, the movie-appearance Ultron figure is NOT part of the Marvel Legends wave for Age of Ultron, but the following wave that ties in with Ant-Man, referencing Ultron's true origins. What the Age of Ultron wave does come with is Thanos, foreshadowing The Stinger. Black Widow being a friend of Hawkeye's family, which is the total opposite of her Ultimate Marvel portrayal, where she assassinated them. At one point, Pietro remarks that he is older than Wanda by 12 minutes. In the comics, she is the older of the two.note This is also the case with the actors, as Elizabeth Olsen is two years older than Aaron Taylor-Johnson | |

This leads to Steve and Tony openly questioning whether he can lift it because he's worthy (which would be an aversion) or because he's a machine (which would be a straight example). | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: When Ultron attacks the Avengers with the remaining Iron Legion drones, it takes them a while to win because, of the assembled Avengers and friends, Thor is the only one in the room that isn't handicapped by virtue of having Mjolnir on hand. Tony and Rhodey don't have their armors, Black Widow is reduced to ineffective handguns, Banner can't Hulk out because they're in the middle of a populated city, Hawkeye is unarmed, and Captain America doesn't have his shield (at first). At the end of the fight between the Hulk and the Hulkbuster, Hulk realizes the horrific destruction he has caused... and his unstoppable rage is replaced with crushing horror and guilt. The distraction gives Tony a brief opportunity for a final sneak attack. Vision gets tossed around by Ultron in their first fight because he's exhausted himself scrubbing Ultron's presence from the internet. After Vision has had some time to recover, he fights much better. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Averted: consistent with other Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the Avengers are not averse to using deadly force against human/non-powered targets, as demonstrated in their opening battle with HYDRA (where lethal force is used on some of the guards) and on Klaue's ship. Banner invokes the trope after the battle when he expresses concern over whether the Hulk killed anyone during the fight (he did, but his teammates choose not to tell him so). | |

Hero with Bad Publicity | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: In the beginning one of Tony's droids is met with hatred by the locals of Sokovia, and the camera pans to some anti-Iron Man graffiti. In a deleted scene, there is another of Captain America's with the word "fascist" sprayed over it (with Cap's eyes being spraypainted red too). After the fiasco in Johannesburg, the Avengers aren't thought of very highly. It's only because it happened so recently that there's no formal legal repercussions, and things were presumably cleared up after the finale. The Hulk gets the worse of it, since he's the one who caused most of the destruction (albeit because of Scarlet Witch's Mind Rape). Bruce is so disturbed by the destruction he caused that the Hulk goes AWOL at the end and travels to Sakaar. This is part of Ultron's plans for the Avengers: making the world fear them, hate them and see them all as monsters, so that humanity will turn to Ultron as their savior instead. | |

Create Your Own Villain: Ultron is created by Tony Stark as a substitute Avenger who can take over "saving the world" duties and give the other Avengers a break. Tony is also why Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch want to destroy the Avengers, because they were orphaned after a Stark Industries munition blew up their apartment block, killing their parents, while they were only spared because the one that would have killed them was a dud. | |

Trailers Always Lie: A large number of lines and scenes from the trailers and clips are not present in the movie, are replaced by a different line, are edited from other soundbites, and/or are taken out of context. The Vision is edited out of the final battle during trailers (Quicksilver does appear, but he's very easy to miss since he's a blur zipping across the battlefield while the others are organized in a circular formation). Ultron's creation is implied to be a result of Tony's work with the Iron Legion causing him to "stumble onto" artificial intelligence. In fact, Tony had already tried and failed to create Ultron before the events of the film. It's only when he has access to Loki's scepter that he is able to perfect the project, and aside from Ultron popping up when he wasn't paying attention, it's very much a deliberate action.. | |

Adapted Out | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Tony Stark creates Ultron instead of Hank Pym, Ultron's creator in the comics. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's father Magneto and the term "mutant" do not appear, due to 20th Century Fox owning the X-Men film rights at the time — instead, the twins' powers are the result of experimentation and their father is mentioned to have died in a bombing alongside their mother. Adamantium, the metal that Ultron is normally made of and introduced to the Marvel Universe proper, is replaced with vibranium. Its more common association is with the X-Men's Wolverine, which would have confused casual movie goers on whether the X-Men exist in the MCU or not. In the comics, the Vision's mind is a copy of the mind of Wonder Man, who has to struggle with being a human mind in a robotic body. In the film, Wonder Man does not exist, and neither does that special relationship, as J.A.R.V.I.S. was an artificial intelligence to begin with. Also in the comics, Vision's synthetic body was created from the remains of the Golden Age Human Torch by Professor Phineas Horton. Both the Torch and Horton are completely absent from the movie (though Horton does exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universenote In Captain America: The First Avenger, there is an exhibition of the Synthetic Man (the original Human Torch) as created by Phineas Horton at the 1943 Stark Expo, though there is no indication of him becoming the Human Torch or being used for creating The Vision like he did in the comics.), with the Vision's body instead created by Helen Cho and her synthetic tissue machine. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Presumably Stan Lee is credited As Himself because not only does he say "Excelsior" but he mentions World War II, in which he fought. (Though Lee didn't partake in the D-Day landings, being part of the Signal Corps and Training Film divisions.) The Badass Longcoat Hawkeye wears during the Final Battle resembles the one Jeremy Renner wore during Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. His character in that film is also an archer. Hawkeye can't stop making improvements to his house. In addition to acting, Jeremy Renner makes a good living buying and fixing up houses (often by himself) before flipping them. When Wanda and Pietro first meet up with Ultron in the church, he "greets" them with "Did you know..." and begins telling them a curious anecdote about the anthropological history of the building and its builders — exactly the way Raymond Reddington does constantly. His philosophical back-and-forths with Stark also scream Reddington. Ultron consistently seems to be the Ray Reddington Bot. The idea of Black Widow getting together with the Hulk becomes not that far off when you consider Scarlett Johansson already had been part of a Love Triangle with a Hulk before. This is not the first time that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen have worked together on a film, but the last time they did, they played husband and wife. This becomes hilarious when you consider the Incest Subtext that Wanda and Pietro are known for in the comics (and in Ultimate Marvel, there's no 'sub' about it!) Maybe actors who last played a married couple are the best choice for these siblings. | |

Later, Natasha explains the "graduation ceremony" alluded to in the vision — trainees are sterilized so the attachment of children will never make them hesitate on a mission... among other things.

Crisis Crossover | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_3ab4530c | comment |
Crisis Crossover: The Avengers are this by default, bringing together most of the major players in the MCU for one big adventure which advances multiple major plotlines and provides major status quo changes. Thor mentions that four Infinity Stones have emerged in the past few years. He's encountered the Space, Mind, and Reality Stones across his movies and the first Avengers, but the Power Stone is exclusive to the events of Guardians of the Galaxy (the Time Stone won't come into play until Doctor Strange, and the Soul Stone not until Avengers: Infinity War), indicating Thor has some awareness of those events, thereby tying them into the overall Avengers storyline. | |

Foregone Conclusion: We know that at least all of the original six Avengers — Tony, Steve, Thor, Bruce, Clint, and Natasha — will survive the movie, since the characters are all slated for further films. In-universe, Tony invokes this trope while initially defending Ultron's creation. He argues another alien invasion of Earth is inevitable, calling it their endgame. | |

Tone Shift | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_3dd3a9eb | comment |
Tone Shift: Depending on which previous movie one is comparing it to: It is Wackier, but darker than the original Avengers. More jokes and humor juxtaposed with a death of a main character causing mood whiplash. It is Lighter and Softer than The Winter Soldier, playing the nefarious HYDRA as ineffectual Nazi-esque mooks (not so different from the ones in The First Avenger) rather than the grim sleeper agents they were in the previous film. This is justified by the fact that this is a different branch of HYDRA entirely; Von Strucker, in fact, specifically hung the sleeper agents high-and-dry after they failed. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Not so much secret as unintentional; When the Avengers are grilling the newly-born Vision about his allegiance and wondering whether any of Ultron's personality got into him before Wanda got Dr. Cho to shut down the transfer process, he affirms that he is on the side of life while casually lifting Mjölnir and handing it to Thor. Given that only those truly worthy of wielding its power (read: the pure of heart) can lift it, this settles the debate in Thor's mind as he takes the hammer, pats Tony on the shoulder, and goes off to get ready for the Final Battle. Later gets discussed due to the fact that, as a machine, Vision may be operating under a loophole that things like a coat rack or an elevator do that would allow him to lift the hammer without being worthy of it. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_443b78cd | comment |
Tranquil Fury: When Steve and Tony are discussing protecting the world, Tony pushes the wrong button about being proactive, causing Steve to rip a log he was holding in two with his bare hands before telling Tony that, every time people try to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. After Wanda uses her powers to send the Hulk on a destructive rampage through a city, the next time they meet Banner threatens that he could choke the life from her without the slightest change. He's not kidding, either, as he manages to get a chokehold on her and sounds pissed, but is in no danger of Hulking Out even when she manages to knock him away with her powers. Immediately after Pietro dies, Wanda walks up to an incapacitated Ultron Prime, calmly asks if he knows how she feels, and then rips his metal heart from his chest with a look of pure rage on her face. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_44618b9f | comment |
Small Steps Hero: During the climax, the Avengers realize they can stop the Sokovian landmass from annihilating humanity only by destroying it. Unfortunately, there are thousands of innocent civilians trapped on the floating island. Even with billions of lives on the line, the heroes make saving civilians their top priority before putting an end to Ultron's plans. Thankfully they get a "little" help from Nick Fury. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Discussed and invoked. After realizing that the Avengers have a habit of creating their own enemies and causing just as many problems as they solve, Captain America basically declares the entire team on probation during the final battle. This mission is not only to prove that they can fight bad guys, but that they deserve to. If they can't work together and hold on to their morals even at the threat of total destruction, then they aren't worthy of being Earth's heroes. Tony is not impressed, as them losing isn't just the Avengers dying, but all of humanity as well. Near the end of the film, it becomes clear that the Avengers don't have the means to rescue everyone from Sokovia. When Natasha points out they have to destroy Sokovia to save the world, Steve bluntly refuses to abandon anyone and Natasha agrees that they should die with Sokovia rather than escaping the destruction. Thankfully, Fury has a better alternative. | |

Shirtless Scene: Yet another one for Thor, when he disrobes to use the pool to consult water spirits about his vision. Bruce gets a shirtless scene at Clint's farm when he talks to Natasha about their future. Vision is effectively naked when he's first brought to life, which Wanda takes notice of. Pietro gets a very short one while gearing up for the Final Battle. | |

Become a Real Boy: Ultron has a bad (as in, destructive) case of this, combined with I Just Want to Be Special. He's obsessed with humanoid form even though it's explicitly stated such a form is inefficient. The first thing he asks after his "birth" is where his body is. He even tries to upload himself to an organic body so he can keep "evolving" before Wanda stops him. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: When Klaue thinks Ultron is one of Tony Stark's creation, based on a shared Catchphrase, Ultron's response is to cut off his left arm. Also, Wanda and Pietro hate Tony, and by extension, the Avengers as a whole, because their parents were killed by a Stark weapon and they spent the night babysitting another one until they were rescued. To them, it doesn't matter who fired them, Stark's name was plastered on its side so it was his fault. | |

Crazy-Prepared | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: The "Veronica" system (i.e. Hulkbuster Iron Man) can be deployed from a satellite to anywhere in the world when summoned. It contains multiple backup parts for the modular Hulkbuster armor — at the very least enough to furnish an entire second copy of the suit — to replace anything the Hulk damages when trying to subdue him. It's powered by over a dozen arc reactors and its repulsor output in each hand is equivalent to the normal armor's unibeam. It's bigger than the Hulk and at least as strong. It has has a pneumatic piston fist, which can also transform into a ring clamp in the event that a Punch Catch occurs. Finally, it has a loudspeaker for warning civilians out of the area. In this case, Bruce himself helped design it, so it makes sense it would be prepared to stop his own alter-ego. As a (probably) temporary containment measure until the Veronica system is on site, the satellite can deploy a reinforced box cage around him from above as well (which unfortunately does not contain from beneath). The whole system's sole purpose is a contingency if Hulk did not respond to Natasha's Cooldown Hug (or she was indisposed, as is the case here). Tony has dozens of backup A.I.s to choose from in the event that something ever happened to J.A.R.V.I.S. | |

Bookends: One of the first scenes in the movie shows the Avengers flying over a statue atop Grand Central Station that honors first-responders from the Battle of New York. The closing credits are set over a similar statue of the original Avengers in combat with Ultron. The main conflict begins when Ultron "kills" J.A.R.V.I.S. towards the beginning of the movie as J.A.R.V.I.S. was trying to talk him down. This all comes to an end with J.A.R.V.I.S., now Vision, killing Ultron as the latter attempts to insist for his side towards the end. To complete the parallel, J.A.R.V.I.S. was trying to get ahold of Tony to stop Ultron when he realized the danger. At the end, Ultron lunges at Vision in desperation when he realizes he's effectively doomed. In Clint and Pietro's first encounter at the Sokovian HYDRA fort, Clint is injured by gunfire after Pietro distracts him. In their last encounter, Pietro sacrifices himself to save Clint from gunfire. The movie's first and last set pieces are in Sokovia. However, the team is fighting against an existing enemy (HYDRA) at the start, and a new one (Ultron) at the end. Pietro and Wanda start the movie with only each other in this world. At its conclusion, Wanda has lost her only surviving kin, but gained a new "family" as part of the Avengers. Falcon shows up at the start of the movie and is bummed about not being an Avenger. In the final scene, he shows up as part of the new Avengers line-up. Ultron first appears to the Avengers in a badly damaged robotic body. Ultron's last body is confronted by the Vision, badly damaged. They're even both missing the left eye and left arm. The Twins were orphaned by a weapon created by Tony Stark. In the end, Wanda is saved by another one of Stark's creations. Sokovia's citizens are regarded as unfortunate collateral damage during the first attack, with Iron Legion robots sent to (unsuccessfully) calm them down while the Avengers tear up the HYDRA base. In the second attack, the Avengers seek to evacuate them first, and get a lot more cooperation as a result. The film opens with Tony bouncing off an impossible shield during their assault on HYDRA and yelling "Shit!" in surprise, being admonished by Steve for it ("Language!"). In the final battle, Fury and Hill show up with a surprise Helicarrier to evacuate the citizens of the city. | |

The Avengers continued to work as a team in this movie.

Later, Tony and Banner use it to create an AI more advanced than anything on Earth. And then, it is integrated into Vision's forehead, giving him superpowers like flight and laser beam. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Maximoff twins' dynamic. A deleted scene shows Pietro handing out stolen supplies to fellow countrymen, and Wanda chides him for stealing, saying he's going to get shot one day. It's most apparent in fight scenes, as Pietro is quick to rush off into a fight while Wanda lingers behind until it comes to a confrontation that she cannot avoid. | |

Enemy Mine | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Ultron persuades Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to join him in an alliance, through their mutual hatred of the Avengers. Likewise, they eventually decide to ditch Ultron after seeing just how dangerous he is and team up with the Avengers, even though they aren't on good terms with Tony Stark. Defied... Double Subverted... Double-Defied? Something happens with the nuclear codes. When Fury reveals that someone's actively defending the nukes and someone observes that they have an ally, Fury pragmatically corrects him with "Ultron's got an enemy. That's not the same thing." Basically, Fury admonishes not to assume that a new enemy of their enemy is not inherently an ally. Then it turns out that "Ultron's enemy" is J.A.R.V.I.S., who already is their ally. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The film takes aspects of several Avengers stories and blends them together: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch leaving a terrorist organization to join the Avengers and the original Avengers team splitting up, leaving Captain America to lead a new team (Avengers #16); Ultron being created by then turning against the Avengers then in turn creating Vision (Avengers #54-58). Ultron coating his body in a indestructible metal (Avengers #66-68). Ultron kidnapping a female member of the Avengers (Avengers #162). Ultron using multiple bodies and invading an Eastern European country (Ultron Unlimited). The Sentient Armor story-line in which Iron Man created an A.I. suit that went insane and tried to kill him (Iron Man vol.3 #26-30). Said A.I. in the comics even turned out to be a corrupted save file for Ultron. Ultron attempting to upload his mind into an artificially created organic body, (Annihilation Conquest). The name of the Crisis Crossover Age of Ultron. | |

During the final battle, after Ultron starts tearing up her homeland, Wanda tells Clint that it's all her fault because she pushed Tony to create Ultron; Clint tells her that a lot of people share responsibility, and that what's important isn't what she's done, but what she's going to do about it. | |

Interim Villain: Within the big Avengers team-up movies, Ultron acts as one while Thanos takes a backseat after having served in The Avengers (2012) as the man behind Loki. Ultron has no affiliation with Loki, Thanos, nor any of their respective forces, acting on his own accord and following through with plans of his own devising. Although he winds up indirectly alerting Thanos to an Infinity Stone being on Earth via using the Mind Stone to create Vision. | |

The Villain Must Be Punished: During the final battle against the mechanical Ultron, both Tony and Vision repeatedly remind their teammates that they have to destroy every Ultron body, not even letting a single one escape. Because even a single Ultron is too dangerous to leave alive (for example, he could still find a way to launch Earth's nuclear missiles and eradicate the human race). Fortunately for the heroes, when one last Ultron robot does manage to sneak away, the robotic Vision knows about it and tracks it down...destroying it and ending the threat once and for all. | |

Artificial Intelligence | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_60e2ec3e | comment |
Artificial Intelligence: Aside from J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark has a bunch of extra A.I. programs including one called FRIDAY, which Tony uses to run his armor after J.A.R.V.I.S. is gone. Ultron starts off as a program designed to run the Iron Legion, before Tony's tinkering and the power of the Mind Stone cause it to develop true sentience. Later, the Mind Stone transforms the remains of J.A.R.V.I.S. into the sentient Vision. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Mythology Gag, among the data chips that Tony picks FRIDAY out of is one labeled "JOCASTA" — the name of the robotic bride that Ultron created for himself in the comics, who later served as an Avenger in her own right and, for a period of time, as Tony's personal A.I. assistant. Another one is "TADASHI". | |

Heel–Face Turn: Wanda and Pietro may have been budding terrorists and had no problem joining Ultron when he was simply fighting the Avengers. But once they learn Ultron plans on wiping out the human race that's where they draw the line. And after working together to stop a runaway train, the twins realize they can accomplish much more by using their powers to help people, so they set aside their feud with Tony and join the Avengers. In spite of spending the past half-century unwillingly festering (and ultimately unleashing) a reconstituted HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. or what's left of it makes a comeback in Sokovia in the form of the old helicarrier. | |

Sacrificial Lion: Hawkeye spends the entire film angsting about his place among "gods", mulling over retirement from the superhero lifestyle, and introducing the Avengers to his idyllic farmhouse replete with caring sweetheart and adorable moppets. Joss Whedon, the epitome of Trolling Creator if ever there was one, subverts it at the last second by having Quicksilver take the bullet instead, complete with a coy "You didn't see that coming?" J.A.R.V.I.S. may count as well since he "dies" in order for the Vision to be born. | |

Sequel Hook | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The film sets up a number of plots for future Phase 3 movies: Iron Man resigns from the group, leaving Cap in charge of a new team of Avengers, leading into Captain America: Civil War. Likewise, after seeing ominous visions about the Infinity Stones and the destruction of Asgard, Thor leaves the team to investigate the matter further, which sets up Thor: Ragnarok. The film contains the first explicit mention of Wakanda and introduces Ulysses Klaue (who survives his ordeal with Ultron but loses an arm in the process), setting up the Black Panther movie. Scarlet Witch causes Thor to see ominous premonitions of the Infinity Stones, and at the end of the film, he chooses to leave the Mind Stone with Vision. The Stinger then shows Thanos with his empty Infinity Gauntlet, vowing to find the stones himself. This all sets up the plot of Avengers: Infinity War, and establishes Arc Welding with the previous year's Guardians of the Galaxy, where the Power Stone was introduced. This is also possibly tied in with Tony's vision as well, since that includes several Leviathans (which carry Thanos's forces) traveling to Earth. As mentioned above, Tony Stark is Easily Forgiven for his role in creating Ultron. This factors into Civil War, where it's made clear that he harbors intense guilt over the the people who died as a result of the Avengers' battle with Ultron. The brief fight between two groups of Avengers over Vision is also very explicit foreshadowing of the conflict in Civil War The Hulk quits the team in anger and heads off to parts unknown in a stolen Quinjet. This carries over into Thor: Ragnarok. | |

Grievous Harm with a Body: Almost everyone gets into the act on this one. Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and Ultron are the most notable for hitting people with other people (and robots with other robots). During the opening fight against HYDRA, Captain America knocks down a mook, drags him behind on his motorcycle, and then throws him against another mook. In the climax, Wanda takes out a few Ultron sentries by manipulating them and flinging them into others. | |

Klaue gets one of his hands severed by Ultron. In the comics, his right hand was blown off and replaced with a sonic weapon that later became one of his visual trademark. Ultron chops off his left arm, however.. | |

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are never referred to as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. The closest is when Tony refers to Wanda as "that little witch". Ulysses Klaw appears under his original surname of Klaue, instead of his supervillain name. Justified, as his appearance is merely an Early-Bird Cameo. Hawkeye, normally called Clint Barton by everyone, is called "Hawkeye" once by his wife. The Vision, however, is only referred to as such. He clarifies that he is neither J.A.R.V.I.S. nor Ultron, and so would not have had a proper name. Thor seems to have informally named him, after claiming that in his visions he saw that the android was key to stopping Ultron. When he and Ultron first meet, Ultron proclaims him as "his vision" (most likely lowercase). Ultron is the only character to refer to Steve Rogers as "Captain America" (others use either his real name or simply "Cap"), and also the only character to call Tony "Iron Man". Natasha is referred to as "Widow" once, during the game that the Avengers play with Thor's hammer. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_6439de78 | comment |
In the climax, during the aftermath of Pietro's Heroic Sacrifice, the scene cuts to Hulk rescuing Nat then jumping onto the Quinjet that Ultron Prime is piloting. Ultron then lets out an annoyed "Oh, for God's sake!" offscreen before being unceremoniously thrown off the jet. Then back to somber as the Avengers get Pietro's body onto the lifeboat, and Wanda approaches a crippled Ultron Prime and rips his heart out. | |

The Extremist Was Right: To counter Ultron and his ability to jump his consciousness into the internet, Tony hatches a mad science plan to create another A.I. to upload in an artificial body. This leads Captain America and the twins to attack him to prevent the upload, but Thor sides with Tony and helps bring it about. In the end, it is Vision that is key to permanently defeating Ultron. | |

Uncanny Valley: In-Universe. Tony sends in the Iron Legion to help with the local town near Strucker's base; however, the populace are more creeped out by these robots saying, "We're here to help," than the battle and start attacking the drones. As the film progresses, Ultron's forms become increasingly humanlike and emotive, giving off an eerie vibe. Ultron's face, which is all metallic only with red eyes with pupils and emotion, and a movable mouth and a face capable of expression is simply unnerving. Invoked with Vision, who looks like he's made of exposed, raw muscle until he creates a costume. Paul Bettany's face was also purposefully overlaid with CGI to highlight his inhuman nature. | |

Villain Has a Point: Although he quickly goes off the deep end, during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech early on, Ultron calls out the Avengers for considering themselves to be heroes despite being killers themselves. (Consider that only a few minutes earlier we saw his creator, Iron Man, gun down an unarmed man.) Ultron wants to upgrade humanity, and when that plan gets ruined wants to replace them, because humanity in its present form isn’t prepared for what’s coming. Thanos will prove him right. | |

Teetering on the Edge | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_727177df | comment |
Teetering on the Edge: The launching of Novi Grad leaves several cars precariously dangling over the edge of broken roads. Steve specifically tries to stop one red convertible, visibly straining to pull it to safety, only to lose his grip when the bumper snaps off sending the car and driver plunging thousands of feet towards the ground. Luckily, Thor is able to catch the car and fly it and its occupant back to solid ground. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Vision is not nearly as important or powerful in the comics as he is in the movie. In the comics he has a pretty standard powerset — flight, higher than average toughness and strength, density manipulation powers, and a beam weapon in his solar-powered gem. He is basically an android given life by copying the brain of another existing superhero. He is also the Avenger most often destroyed because he can be easily rebuilt, and was literally left in the Avengers' warehouse for years and was not present during many major story arcs like "House of M" or "M-Day", and has only been written back into the comics around 2012. In this film, he is created through a combination of artificial cells and the mind of J.A.R.V.I.S., animated by Thor's lightning. He has strength and toughness rivaling Thor thanks to vibranium incorporated right into his cells, his solar gem is replaced with the Mind Stone, and he holds the distinction of being one of the few in this universe who can lift Mjölnir, something even this version of Captain America could not claim...yet. | |

Arc Words: Several. "Peace in our time": what Tony designed Ultron for and what Ultron himself believes he's working towards... until he changes it to "Peace in my time". "Monsters", which Tony compares himself and Bruce to, highlighting the parallels between their creation of Ultron and Frankenstein. "Children", often in conjunction with "Change", "Evolve", or "End", as newer generations replacing (or destroying) old ones is a recurring theme. "Worthy" "Together" "Home" | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_74abf030 | comment |
Summon to Hand: During the opening battle, Thor calls Mjölnir back to him, then steps aside so it hits a HYDRA mook behind him. Tony summons part of his armor to his right hand when he prepares to grab the scepter. Steve's new outfit can bring his shield back short distances. During the climax, he does this while it's still embedded in an Ultron sentry. He grabs the shield in mid-flight and sends the drone flying off a cliff. | |

Orphaned Punchline: Same joke, two different reactions, both in the same scene. During the party scene, Rhodey tells the Avengers a story of a mission ending in him dropping a tank in front of a warlord and saying, "Boom! You looking for this?" The Avengers stare blankly at him, and he gets the hint to try telling the story to someone else. A short time later, we see him repeating the same punchline to a group of party guests, and they laugh hysterically. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: There's no debate that Hawkeye steals the show overall — his focus scenes are so effective and round him out to a large enough degree that it feels almost like this is his movie, first and foremost. Wanda also manages to run away with a good portion of the ending, between her brother dying, her shutting down Ultron Prime's body, and her future lover being the one to wipe out the last Ultron drone. | |

"What Do They Fear?" Episode: Brought to the team by Scarlet Witch illusions. Tony sees his friends die, Natasha is forced to relive her traumatic training, and Thor witnesses Hell coming to Asgard. Steve's vision can be interpreted as either him having no war to fight, leaving him without purpose, or the idea that he'd always be haunted by the war even if he could get back to Peggy and the 1940s. We never see what she shows to Bruce, but he has enough demons of his own. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: During the opening battle, Tony runs into a brief setback and curses; Steve immediately gives him a rebuke for his language. In exactly two words, we have not only Tony and Steve, but the entire movie: how do you respond to an ugly world? Not 5 minutes after Ultron is alive (and even before he gets a body), he kills J.A.R.V.I.S. (who at that point was gently trying to calm him down). Vision gets one that deliberately contrasts with Ultron's. Right after he's created, everyone in the room (save for Wanda) tries to kill him fearing that they've created another Ultron. He escapes the lab and flees through Tony's penthouse and just when you think a battle is going to ensue... he stops and spends a long moment admiring the New York skyline. And then he tells them they'll just have to trust him while casually picking up Mjölnir and handing it to Thor. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Tony thinks that he can upload JARVIS into the computer at the core of the body Ultron built, that JARVIS can control it, and that JARVIS can serve as their ultimate weapon against Ultron. In fact, the gem/computer that Tony plans to upload JARVIS into is the Mind Stone, it is alive, JARVIS only serves as a template for the Mind Stone to act of its own accord, and Vision turns out to utterly benevolent. So much so that it can lift Mjöllnir. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Iron Man continues to be the Red Oni (aggressive, showy, sarcastic and reliant on firepower) to Captain America's Blue Oni (empathetic, understated, strategic and reliant on physical finesse). They even have matching colors to boot. Quicksilver is the Red Oni (quick-tempered, moody and physical powers) to Scarlet Witch's Blue Oni (calm, grounded and magical powers), although ironically their color motifs are reversed. | |

Hinted at but ultimately subverted with Clint, whose story arc is centered around him choosing to be a superhero despite his mortality and personal stakes. He checks many of the usual boxes, such as promising his wife he'll be back after Ultron's defeat, looking at a Fatal Family Photo, and discussing his home makeover plans with Natasha. Just as it seems he'll be shot by Ultron, though, it's Pietro who falls instead. | |

Deconstruction: This film repeatedly hammers home that while watching superhero fights is fun for those of us with a front row seat in the theater, it isn't so fun for those people with a front row seat on the battlefield. There's a lot of property damage and evacuating the civilians is an objective in every battle. This film dispels the notion of the cold and calculating A.I. While Ultron still is to a level malicious, the fact he has a personality points out that any vaguely human-like intelligence would develop one of their own to the level of even mimicking (and developing) human emotions and behavior. | |

Apocalypse How: Ultron intends to inflict a Class 4 extinction event on the Earth by turning Sokovia into a Chicxulub-like impactor for a Colony Drop. He at first indicates he wants to push humanity to evolve and improve (in which case, it would likely be a Class 2 for the human race alone), but his reasoning is Insane Troll Logic at best with his fractured mindset. Friday states when Ultron is enacting his plan that the blast will likely wipe out all human life around the world, and after losing Vision, Ultron implies he'll probably try to inflict a Class 5 so that he's the only thing left alive. | |

He is not sarcastic; he completely means it, and is unaware of the significance of the feat he has just achieved. And again at the end, after the last Ultron bot calls him naïve, Vision notes that he was indeed born yesterday. | |

Not So Above It All | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: When Tony invites her to the party, Dr. Cho initially declines, dismissively saying, "I don't have time for parties." A few seconds later, she tentatively asks, "Will Thor be there?" When they fight Wanda, Thor warns the others that humans may not be able to resist her power like him. And then, he gets lost in his own dream: even an Asgardian can be affected by her power. For all of Ultron's grandiose speeches about being a more evolved life form, he is surprisingly easily annoyed and flustered, much like an insecure child. Of course, technically speaking, he is a child. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Lampshaded by Steve, when Maria thinks it's "nuts" that Wanda and Pietro volunteered for HYDRA experimentation. Natasha and Banner. She points out that they're both monsters and killers and both hate it, that neither of them can fit into the world and both want to run away and hide from it. They further bond over the mutual inability to have children: Natasha, because she was sterilized upon becoming a Russian assassin; Banner, because he can't have sex, since the necessary sexual stimulation causes him to Hulk out. After Natasha shares, Banner for the first time demonstrates an openness to a romantic relationship. Ultron and Tony Stark. But don't tell Ultron. | |

Ironic Nursery Tune: The first trailer has a creepy version of "I've Got No Strings" from Pinocchio playing after Ultron first appears. Ultron also quotes or sings a bit of it a few times in the movie, most creepily when he's strafing the Avengers with the hijacked Quinjet's minigun. Doubles as a Shout-Out to the movie's distributor, Disney. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: Thanos. He's not involved in the plot of the film in any way, but he does have influence. His presence is felt in Tony's vision, which shows Avengers dead and the Chitauri attacking Earth. This vision inspires Tony to create Ultron. Thanos' influence also extends to the Scepter, which is the final tool used in Ultron's creation. The Mad Titan does appear in The Stinger, equipping the Infinity Gauntlet and planning to get the Infinity Stones personally. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: At the end of the movie, Steve, Tony, and Thor are seen arguing whether or not the Vision is worthy to lift Mjölnir, as opposed to it yielding because he is a robot, and thus not anything that can be judged. Steve seems to hinge his argument on whether or not it would yield to an elevator. Thor believes he is, but Tony and Steve are a bit skeptical. | |

I Know What You Fear: Scarlet Witch uses this against the Avengers. Iron Man's is that all the Avengers will die and Earth will get invaded because he didn't do enough to stop it. Black Widow's is her past and the idea that she will never be anything other than what they made her. Thor's is his people dying and losing control of his powers. Captain America's is the war being over and him having no-one left to fight. Played with when she attempts to intimidate Klaue and find his worst fears, only for him to simply tell her that his biggest fear is... cuttlefish. He saw a documentary about them and was freaked out. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: When his fortress is under attack, Strucker oversees the strategy against the Avengers. One of his lackeys mentions the twins. Strucker refuses to use them for combat yet, they are a valuable resource and must stay concealed. He insists, "the twins...", and points Strucker to where they were standing a few seconds ago. They are no longer there, they left to fight the Avengers on their own initiative. Tony caps his speech advocating for Ultron's creation with the phrase "Peace in our time." This is a famous quotation from Neville Chamberlain, and it's famous for being completely wrong. Chamberlain said during a speech that his negotiations with Hitler had ensured "Peace for our time". A year later, Hitler invaded Poland. Notably, when Ultron is trying to understand his purpose, he considers Tony's use of the phrase and his search through the internet immediately dives into scenes of war and destruction, showing he made the intended connection even though Tony didn't. | |

It also states that Klaue is a former member of the Intelligencia (a group of Avengers villains from the comics), and that his great-grandfather was killed by a previous Black Panther during the 19th Century. | |

Revealing Cover-Up: Ultron kills Strucker and writes "peace" on the wall with his blood, ostensibly to send a message to the Avengers. However, since he already gave a whole speech on that topic, they deduce that he probably did it to hide something and quickly figure out his next move. Ultron isn't caught off-guard, though, and even seems to have expected they would catch on. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: A rather relaxed and hilarious party among the Avengers is rudely interrupted by Ultron breaking in with dozens of drones to murder them. The mood goes from somber with an exhausted Hulk looking at all the civilians fleeing him after Hulkbuster Iron Man pile-drives him through a half-constructed building and realizing that he caused their panic... to slapstick with Hulkbuster Iron Man finally delivering a K.O. punch from the side of the view, and then smash cutting to black. In the climax, during the aftermath of Pietro's Heroic Sacrifice, the scene cuts to Hulk rescuing Nat then jumping onto the Quinjet that Ultron Prime is piloting. Ultron then lets out an annoyed "Oh, for God's sake!" offscreen before being unceremoniously thrown off the jet. Then back to somber as the Avengers get Pietro's body onto the lifeboat, and Wanda approaches a crippled Ultron Prime and rips his heart out. | |

Ascended Extra: Hawkeye, the Avenger that got the least amount of screentime in the previous movie (and of said screentime, spent most of it brainwashed), gets a considerably larger role in the sequel. His family is even briefly shown. J.A.R.V.I.S. in a sense; he ascends from an A.I. created for the MCU to becoming tied to the origin of the Vision. Dr. Helen Cho. In the comics, she's an extremely minor Posthumous Character, and is only notable for being the mother of Amadeus Cho. Here, she's a fairly important character and is significantly more fleshed out. Laura Barton. She was a very minor character in The Ultimates who only appeared in two issues, and is most notable for dying to advance Hawkeye's storyline. She is not only alive in the movie, but has a fairly sizable role and gets some great lines. | |

Then at one point in the final battle, he's grazed in the left arm by a Sokovian police officer. And finally, he ends up being shot multiple times during Ultron's strafing run. Three scenes of people other than Thor trying to wield Mjölnir: The other Avengers at the after-party (fail), Quicksilver grabbing it while it's flying through the air (fail), and finally the Vision casually handing it to Thor (success). | |

Status Quo Is God | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: The dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D. in The Winter Soldier was a huge moment in the MCU's timeline and left the heroes on their own without Nick Fury and his resources to aid them (and Maria even goes to work for Tony and by extension the team). Same goes for the return of HYDRA, now established as major threats in the present day. This is all almost completely undone by the end of this film. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s back in a major form, free of HYDRA's influence, Fury's back to being a benefactor of sorts for the Avengers, the helicarrier is back in action — Maria even reverts to her haircut from the first film to complete the déjà vu of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s return in the final battle. Plus, HYDRA is considered far less a threat, even if two more heads will grow back from the one cut off by Strucker's defeat. At the end of Iron Man 3, Tony destroyed all his Iron Man suits, with the clear implication that he was retiring from the superhero business to focus on his relationship with Pepper. Come the beginning of this one, he's right back with a new suit and a new Iron Legion in tow to help with the HYDRA cleanup. At the end, he seemingly retires again... but as we learn two movies later, it still doesn't stick. | |

Hero Insurance | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_a9667a3b | comment |
Hero Insurance: After the huge collateral damage caused in previous missions, the Avengers focus a lot of energy on actually protecting civilians, rather than just fighting the bad guys. It's mentioned that Stark Industries runs an aid foundation to help communities devastated by Avenger-related disasters, Tony's first priority when fighting the Hulk is to get him out of a populated area, and the primary obstacle to stopping the attempted Colony Drop of Novi Grad is how to get the inhabitants to safety. If it were just a case of blowing the Floating Continent up, they could have done it much earlier and without much difficulty, which is of course why Ultron uses a heavily-populated city as his "asteroid". | |

Sole Survivor | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_aa30e350 | comment |
Sole Survivor: Wanda and Pietro are the only successful product of HYDRA's human enhancement experiments. Ultron's comments (plus the tie-in episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a flashback in WandaVision) imply a not-insignificant number of casualties. Tony's greatest fear is not just that his friends will die because he didn't do enough, but that he will live to see it. After all of Ultron's bodies are seemingly destroyed, one last one — the one that Steve had damaged and thrown off the side — manages to climb out of the crater, intent on crawling away. Subverted, then, when Vision intercepts and destroys it after a brief heart-to-heart with Ultron. Wanda ends the movie as the only surviving member of her family, due to Pietro dying. | |

No-Sell: Captain America weathers Scarlet Witch's traumatic visions far better than the rest of the Avengers. Justified by him having a relatively tame past by comparison, so his vision is mostly remembering the horrors of war, as well as experiencing the homecoming party and dance with Peggy that he never got. Ultron, being a robot, is immune to Scarlet Witch's telepathy entirely. Until he starts uploading himself into his new Vision body, he renders himself vulnerable and she sees the truth of his plans. Thor being Asgardian, claims he is able to shrug off Wanda's telepathy and warns the others who are not as mighty as he is. He immediately finds himself in Hel. Played with regarding Clint; He stuns Wanda with a taser arrow before she mind warps him, while saying, "I've done the whole mind-control thing. Not a fan." | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: By compelling Helen Cho to create the Vision's synthetic body and implanting the Mind Stone in it, Ultron crafts the vessel of his ultimate demise when it's hijacked by the Avengers and uploaded with J.A.R.V.I.S.'s programming. The Vision's creation is in fact a double whammy. Wanda is unable to read Ultron's mind because he is a robot, but when his consciousness is being transferred into a synthetic humanoid body, she can gain access to his thoughts and find out that he really wants to cause mass extinction. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Everyone, as par the course for a Whedon script. Even Ultron gets in on it; he speaks like a sarcastic human as opposed to the typical monotone, emotionless A.I. seen in many films. It's appropriate, given that Tony Stark created him. Ultron utilizes this trope so well that Stark comments on Ultron beating him to the punch with a snarky line during their first meeting — see You Can't Make an Omelette... entry below. As is probably expected, Tony Stark is incredibly snarky. He takes it to a new level when he shows that even being choked by a Norse god can't keep him from being sarcastic. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_b2c3202b | comment |
Twins Are Special: Subverted. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are classified as "enhanced individuals" because of their powers, but their powers are not a product of their twinness (they're the products of individual bioengineering and genetic experimentation) nor are their abilities particularly complementary. When Pietro dies, Wanda does instantly sense it from far away, but a reciprocal psychic link between the two hadn't been established before this point, so it's likely this has more to do with Wanda's individual telepathy than anything else. | |

Take That!: The Avengers' focus on saving civilians during the climactic battle has been interpreted as a deliberate contrast to Superman's perceived lack of concern for mass casualties in Man of Steel. While they had been using much the same tactics in the first movie, a brief shot where Tony scans a building to ensure that it's empty before throwing Hulk into it stands out, as it had been suggested by a number of fans that such a scene would have helped Man of Steel's climactic battle. | |

Blood Knight: Ultron accuses Captain America of this, sarcastically stating him being "God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war." This is proven true by Steve's "nightmare" from Scarlet Witch: Peggy telling Steve his fight is over, and the world no longer needs him, leaving him alone in an empty dance room. In the end, Steve concedes that his home is now with the Avengers, whomever they may be. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_b7e1dcc8 | comment |
Empathic Weapon: There is a scene where various Avengers (all of whom are drunk) try to lift Mjölnir. Tony Stark tries to lift it bare-handed, fails, tries again while wearing his Iron Man glove and still fails. Bruce Banner tries to lift it, but it won't even budge. Captain America also can't lift it (although he does manage to jiggle it a little) and War Machine fails as well. However, someone other than Thor does manage to lift it eventually. While the Avengers are reluctant to trust Vision at first, Vision casually picks up Mjölnir and hands it back to Thor. | |

Serkis Folk | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_c0abbbc2 | comment |
Serkis Folk: James Spader utilized motion-capture for all scenes relating to Ultron, including his first form (which doesn't have a face). Every subsequent form of the character has facial expressions added to it in order to convey emotion. Black Widow utilizes a bit of this due to Scarlett Johansson's pregnancy. The Trope Namer Andy Serkis is also in the film, but Ulysses Klaue does not utilize this trope. He did, however, serve as a consultant for the mo-cap of Ultron and the Hulk. Odd variation with the Falcon. That's really Anthony Mackie in the final scene, but the suit was entirely CGI. Mackie was wearing his old costume and wing pack from Captain America: The Winter Soldier when the scene was shot, and the production team replaced them with his new costume and wing pack he'd be using in Captain America: Civil War, as that movie was being filmed while Age of Ultron was in post-production. | |

Neck Lift: Thor lifts Tony by his throat when he finds out about Tony being the one behind Ultron. Thor being an Asgardian, this is more than sufficient to hoist Tony into the air. Ultron does this to Cap during their fight atop the train, and to Thor (who played along with it as a distraction). One of the Ultron drones do this to Cap and then throws him. Blink-and-miss, but Hawkeye does this to a charging drone in the climactic fight after stopping him cold. Then again using an arrow. | |

Despite being the reason why the Avengers know where to find Strucker and the scepter and the reason why Fury had a helicarrier available to help evacuate Sokovia with, Phil Coulson does not appear and is never mentioned. Fury made the Avengers think he's dead after all. Loki, the charismatic villain of the previous Avengers film, does not appear, not even in the scene set in Asgard. And yet, Tom Hiddleston did work in the film, but he was removed from it as it already had a large cast. | |

Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?: Surprisingly averted. Ultron earns the distinction of being the first major villain in the MCU who tries to use the most simple, effective and straightforward solution first (stealing the nuclear codes and using the nukes to destroy humanity) and only resorts to the more "colorful" method because that plan keeps getting thwarted by J.A.R.V.I.S. and later Vision. | |

Fortunately, Nick Fury and the new S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive with the Helicarrier to help evacuate the rest of the civilians before the city is destroyed. | |

Power Trio: Tony is The Spock, creating Ultron to counteract potential threats to "end the fight". Steve is The McCoy and is concerned with the loss of life and sees the program as dangerous. Thor is willing to Take a Third Option and goes off on his own to stop Ultron, making him The Kirk. | |

Trust Password: The Avengers are initially distrustful of Vision, seeing as he's created by Ultron. They all trust him a little bit more, though, when Vision casually hands Thor Mjölnir, a weapon that can't even be picked up, much less handled, by anyone but the worthy. | |

Where's the Kaboom?: Clint has a small one during the attack on the HYDRA base. He fires an explosive arrow towards a bunker, ducks behind the tree and pauses for the explosion. After a second, he realises it hasn't worked and tries again, only to find out that it's because Quicksilver has joined the fight. | |

Deus Exit Machina: Thor temporarily leaves the Avengers for part of the movie to resolve an issue that only he can deal with, leaving the battle against Ultron's second form to be handled by the far weaker Steve, Natasha, Clint, Wanda, and Pietro. He returns to the fray before the climax of the film, at which point Ultron has further upgraded and is now a threat to Thor. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: Ultron's main motivation. He wants to provoke an extinction-level event which will kill most of humanity so that he can be seen as a savior by the survivors. He wants to upload himself into the Vision for this very purpose, so that people would look at the sky and see true hope. | |

Body Backup Drive: Whenever Ultron's physical form is destroyed, he simply uploads himself into another robotic body, or onto the net as pure consciousness. Vision has to block his connection to the internet first, and then every single body he's built has to be destroyed to stop him. | |

Beyond the Impossible: The trailers include a shot of Captain America's "completely vibration absorbent", impenetrable, Unobtainium shield snapped in half. Note that this is the same shield that reflected a full-powered blow from a Norse God. However, in the film itself, this is merely in Tony's vision caused by Wanda's mental abilities, and doesn't happen for real until Thanos does it in Avengers: Endgame. | |

However, Word of God from Kevin Feige is that "[he] is DEAD. 100%, he's not coming back any time soon, there are no plans. No life-model decoy, no escaping bullets, no retcon". | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Ultron's awakening starts with a black screen. All the creepier for it. We see other Avengers' "nightmares" under Wanda's mind manipulation, but we never really see Hulk's "nightmare" that drives him into Unstoppable Rage. It is, in a sense, Bruce's nightmare made manifest, but it's not shown how he was driven to it. | |

It is Lighter and Softer than The Winter Soldier, playing the nefarious HYDRA as ineffectual Nazi-esque mooks (not so different from the ones in The First Avenger) rather than the grim sleeper agents they were in the previous film. This is justified by the fact that this is a different branch of HYDRA entirely; Von Strucker, in fact, specifically hung the sleeper agents high-and-dry after they failed. | |

Debate and Switch: In the finale, The Avengers have no means to evacuate the chunk of Sokovia that Ultron has lifted off the ground and turned into a meteor, but still need to destroy it to prevent Ultron from bringing about human extinction. Captain America is prepared to stay on the flying landmass until the bitter end, not willing to sacrifice any innocent lives in order to prove that the Avengers are better than someone like Ultron. ...Then Nick Fury shows up with a Helicarrier to save the day. On the one hand, this validates Cap's decision to hold out as long as possible, but one can't help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn't shown up. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: During the fight on Klaue's ship, Pietro is running around taking shots at the Avengers. As he sees Mjölnir flying by, he doubles back to make use of it. Cue the hammer dragging him into a pile of crates. During the battle in South Korea, Hawkeye opens fire on Ultron in the Quinjet. In the climax Ultron hijacks the Quinjet and attempts to kill Clint with the gatling guns. Pietro averts this with a Heroic Sacrifice. Ultron's speech to the twins is centered around this — that people ultimately create that which supplants them. In the end, Ultron himself is undone by his own "children". Wanda rips out his main body's control unit while Vision destroys his last backup body. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Ultron to the Avengers, for allowing chaos to spread through the world because of their so-called morals. Tony gets this for creating Ultron, from multiple sources. A minor one is when Tony professes to know Ulysses Klaue, a black-market arms dealer. Steve gives him the stink eye, so Tony quickly clarifies that they only met as a conference and he didn't actually sell the guy anything. | |

Evil Only Has to Win Once | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_d986d0ed | comment |
Evil Only Has to Win Once: Since Ultron's M.O. is to basically eradicate all human life, this goes without saying. Taken a bit more literally during the last stand, where if even one of Ultron's sentries manages to deactivate the device holding up the city, it will come crashing down and obliterate the planet. The last one does succeed, but Tony and Thor manage to break up the landmass before it collides. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Pietro zooms into a police station, frantically warns the cops to start evacuating the town and zooms off. Their reaction? Go back to what they were doing (one cop even playing Solitaire on his computer). He has to come back and fire a rifle into the ceiling before they'll move. | |

Breakout Character | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Captain America in the film's promotional material, due to the success of Winter Soldier. Chris Evans' name was moved to the center of promotional material to reflect thisnote although this meant that he's billed fourth in the credits sequence rather than second as with the first Avengers movie. Cap moved from the back row of the poster for The Avengers to absolute front of Age of Ultron's poster. Cap can be seen standing side by side with Iron Man, with all other Avengers omitted, in the first Empire Magazine cover for the film. Cap also puts up a much better fight against Ultron than he did against Loki. Cap is also the de facto leader of the Avengers by the film's end, with Iron Man retiring from the team, and Cap heading up a new roster. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: This is Steve's deep-seated fear that Wanda plays upon to disable him. He looks for any excuse to keep fighting because he has no home to go to if he faces the fact that the war is over. Ultron calls him on it a few minutes before that. Sam had also earlier asked if he'd been looking at apartments in Brooklyn again since the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Steve makes a joke about the neighborhood (and the rest of New York City as a whole) gentrifying out of his price range, but it's obvious he can't face the idea about settling down anymore than when he was first unfrozen. At the end of the film, he decides to stick with the new Avengers, admitting that he's no longer the man who wanted to settle down eventually. | |

When Steve asks who he was talking to, Barton claims it was his girlfriend, despite previously telling Cho he doesn't have one. It's just his wife Laura and the phone call was him updating/checking in on her. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are referred to as the "Enhanced" instead of Mutates (a Marvel term for humans that have gained powers somehow, in contrast to Mutants, who are born powered). This term was coined by Jemma Simmons on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a new classification for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Gifted Index after encountering Calvin Zabo. The Hulkbuster suit is never called that; the system that deploys it is named "Veronica" by Stark and Banner. A Freeze-Frame Bonus at least shows "Hulkbuster" appearing backwards on Tony's HUD. | |

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Scarlet Witch initially cannot read Ultron's mind, due to him being a robotic A.I. rather than a normal human brain. As he is in the process of uploading himself into the semi-organic Vision body, she's able to take a peek into his thoughts, and see what his true intentions are. This ultimately prompts her Heel–Face Turn. | |

Didn't See That Coming | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: Based on her surprised face, Wanda wasn't expecting Tony's nightmare to include his dead teammates or a bunch of Leviathan (like the one in Strucker's lab) invading Earth. Wanda allows Tony to take Loki's scepter, believing he would destroy himself with it since that happened to everyone else whoever touched it. She didn't expect Ultron. Pietro and Clint say this repeatedly to each other throughout the movie when they one-up each other as a running gag. Turns tragic when Pietro says it again after he sacrifices himself to save Clint. Doubles as a meta example because, even though a major character death is usually par for the course in a Joss Whedon flick, the audience probably didn't see Pietro's death coming. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_e0b2e1d4 | comment |
Marquee Alter Ego: The theatrical poster has Iron Man and Captain America ditching their helmet and mask to show off the faces of Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans. The individual character posters for the two heroes do the same thing. In the comics, Ultron's default look is a red jack-o-lantern smile. Here, he has a fully expressive face to get the most out of James Spader (and likely to reflect his more "human", conflicted characterisation). Steve spends the entire final battle fighting without his helmet. This is explained by a deleted scene, whereupon landing in Sokovia, he immediately sees graffiti of his classic look with "fascist" sprayed over it. | |

Composite Character | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Black Widow wields a pair of batons much like those used by her fellow Avenger, Mockingbird. Though downplayed as Mockingbird herself is also a part of the MCU. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch start off as a pair of superpowered twins working for Baron von Strucker. This is much like the Fenris twins, Strucker's own mutant children from the comics. Scarlet Witch has an amalgam of Jean Grey's psychic powers and TK bolts with Jessica Drew's origins as an experimental soldier of HYDRA. The powers of flight and mind-control/pheromones are also attributed to both. Ulysses Klaue has taken many elements of his father, Fritz Klaue, such as being a smuggler and ally to Baron Strucker, the unique spelling of his surname and overall look. Helen Cho has undergone the reverse, taking elements of her comic-book son Amadeus, supreme intellect in particular. She also essentially becomes the MCU version of Phineas Horton, creating the Vision's synthetic body. note Horton does exist in the MCU, based on background details in Captain America: The First Avenger, though here he doesn't have anything to do with The Vision. The Vision takes a few elements from fellow artificial human Adam Warlock, including having an Infinity Stone installed in his forehead and having a virtuous, nigh-messianic air to him. Note that Warlock also exists in the MCU given the Sequel Hook at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. | |

When Klaue balks at giving Ultron his entire supply of vibranium (which, given that Klaue has already been literally branded for stealing vibranium from Wakanda with the help of the late Prince N'Jobu, is likely to be all he's ever going to get), Ultron responds by taking a brief trip through the web to arrange for an astronomical funds transfer. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: Our reintroduction to the Avengers in the Action Prologue flits between team members in one continuous shot as they fight through the Sokovian woods to von Strucker's fortress. After the cut to New York, the camera follows the Iron Legion as they fly into Avengers Tower, then passes by them and through the glass floor to follow Tony and Bruce in the lab above, then through the window into the main area. A very brief but beautiful-looking shot in the climax as the camera circles around the Avengers as they battle Ultron's drones while trying to keep them from reaching the core that'll drop Novi Grad to the ground. | |

The Team | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: The Avengers continued to work as a team in this movie. They haven't changed in their roles with the exception of an expanded The Empath role for Natasha; she's in charge of using empathy and friendship to manage The Hulk. Hawkeye's role is expanded to being the The Heart of the team, being the most emotionally stable and grounded member of the group who is still sorely needed despite the power gap between him and the other heroes. The new Avengers line up in the epilogue changes things up: Cap' is still The Leader but Black Widow is now the Number Two as the second veteran. War Machine, Falcon, Scarlet Witch and Vision are the new members but their precise roles are yet to be settled. | |

Crossover | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: This movie marks the last time that Marvel Studios and Marvel Television really coordinated anything. Season 2, episode 19 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., "The Dirty Half Dozen", immediately precedes this movie. Baron von Strucker is speaking with Dr. List, the HYDRA officer that Coulson's team went up against in that episode, and the secret intel that Coulson recovers in that episode is what directs the Avengers to Strucker's base at the start of the movie. The episode also ends with an Inhuman having a precognitive vision of the events of the movie. The Theta Protocol mentioned in that episode and followed up in the next is the revival of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarriers that show up to save the day at the end of the movie. | |

Near the end of the film, it becomes clear that the Avengers don't have the means to rescue everyone from Sokovia. When Natasha points out they have to destroy Sokovia to save the world, Steve bluntly refuses to abandon anyone and Natasha agrees that they should die with Sokovia rather than escaping the destruction. Thankfully, Fury has a better alternative. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_ec02c97e | comment |
Defied... Double Subverted... Double-Defied? Something happens with the nuclear codes. When Fury reveals that someone's actively defending the nukes and someone observes that they have an ally, Fury pragmatically corrects him with "Ultron's got an enemy. That's not the same thing." Basically, Fury admonishes not to assume that a new enemy of their enemy is not inherently an ally. Then it turns out that "Ultron's enemy" is J.A.R.V.I.S., who already is their ally. | |

Natasha and Banner. She points out that they're both monsters and killers and both hate it, that neither of them can fit into the world and both want to run away and hide from it. They further bond over the mutual inability to have children: Natasha, because she was sterilized upon becoming a Russian assassin; Banner, because he can't have sex, since the necessary sexual stimulation causes him to Hulk out. After Natasha shares, Banner for the first time demonstrates an openness to a romantic relationship. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: After the announcement of Marvel filming the next two Avengers movies in IMAX, Age of Ultron became the only one of the first four with a 2.40:1 aspect ratio (matching all of the founding Avengers' previous solo movies), which makes it look more vertically narrow. So far, this is the only film that features Thor but not Loki (deleted scene notwithstanding). In every other movie in which Thor appears, Loki shows up too. This includes Thor, Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok, as well as The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. This would also mean it's the only Avengers movie that does not feature Loki in some capacity. | |

Thor even lampshades this when he goes to see him. A Samsung building in Seoul gets a particularly long look in the extended trailer. Bruce Banner listens to calming music on Beats headphones. A Samsung tablet is used to view Loki's scepter. A dialogue scene in the farmhouse has the camera placed in the bathroom in order to include a can of Gillette shaving cream in the foreground. Banner also shaves at the farmhouse using a Gillette Fusion razor. Quicksilver dons Under Armour running gear and a pair of Adidas sneakers in time for the final battle.

Everything Is Online: Ultron can connect to almost anywhere on the Internet, rummaging through files and wreaking havoc in general. The first step to defeating him is when Vision forcibly overwrites his code, limiting his ability to transfer himself to within his army of drones. Subverted when Ultron tries to cover his tracks by deleting all the data available on Baron von Strucker. After lamenting the loss for a minute, The Team just goes to the hard-copies and finds the connection. Also, unusually for an enemy with hacking skills, Tony's wearable armor never gets compromised. A deleted scene has Tony provide an anti-hacking measure to War Machine, so he undoubtedly made one for himself as well. | |

Faking the Dead: J.A.R.V.I.S. appears to have been torn apart by Ultron but he is hiding in the net and keeping Ultron away from Nuke codes. | |

The Remnant: It's implied that Nick Fury and Phil Coulson managed to keep enough loyalist S.H.I.E.L.D. staff and personnel on hand to run the old helicarrier. Not to mention enough to man the new Avengers HQ. | |

Running Gag | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A couple. No-one can resist teasing Cap for chiding Tony for his mild swear in the heat of combat. It eventually gets turned on its head when Cap swears after Fury comes in to aid them with Fury chastising him for it. Clint and Pietro trying to one-up each other (along with some banter) every time they meet, up until Pietro dies. | |

You Killed My Father | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Father: The Maximoff twins seek revenge against Tony Stark because their parents were killed by bombs manufactured by Stark Industries, and they spent two days staring at a defective Stark Industries munition wondering if it would explode before they were rescued. Oddly, while they tell this story to Ultron, Tony is never told why they hate him. Wanda gets a "you killed my brother" variant against Ultron. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: This is a movie with flying armor suits, Norse gods, and enormous green rage monsters, after all. Yet, Ultron's plan to scour the Earth with a new extinction-level meteor falls a little short in scale. The Chicxulub meteor which killed off the dinos was about 12 km across, and came in at 20,000 m/s. The rock he's trying to use is, generously, one kilometer across, and he's dropping it from no more than 18,000 feet (they're still in breathable air when the last evacuees board the lifeboats). It will hit at about 370 m/s. This means it has about 3,000,000 times less energy than Chicxulub. Even his plan to accelerate it down can't make up that much of a gap. It would be a Bad Day in the neighborhood (it's about the energy of the 2011 Japan earthquake), but not even close to an Extinction Level Event. On the other hand, when Wanda briefly reads Ultron's thoughts and sees his agenda, she sees the impactor arriving from outside Earth's atmosphere. So if Ultron hadn't had to drop it prematurely because of the Avengers' interruption, the city could have continued to rise to an indefinite distance, and it would have had far more time to accelerate. Another problem with Ultron's artificial impact is that much of the damage from an asteroid impact is not from the actual impact per se, but rather that the speed of the asteroid, when arriving from space, is so great that the air in front of it cannot get out of the way in time, becomes tremendously compressed (and thus heats up — it's why bicycle pumps become so hot), and generates a massive blast of immense heat which is where a great deal of the "explosion" comes from. Even with the engines accelerating it, the city is moving much too slowly (probably several orders of magnitude too slowly) to accomplish this. | |

Brain Uploading | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: An odd case. Rather than a human attempting to upload their mind from a body into a computer, it's Ultron, a computer program, attempting to upload his mind from the network into a specially-designed body. Later, Tony and Bruce try to upload J.A.R.V.I.S. into the same body, despite opposition from Steve, Wanda and Pietro. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ultron sincerely believes he's making a better world, though his motives seem to decay after the soon-to-be Vision is stolen from him. Although their anger towards the Avengers is misplaced, the reason Pietro and Wanda volunteer to undergo experimentation with Loki's scepter is because they believe that their new powers will allow them to crush their oppressors and resist external interference in Sokovia. | |

Brick Joke | |
Avengers: Age of Ultron / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: "We create our own demons." Literally, in this case. And, for that matter, Ultron references the line as well, we all create our own smaller people-children. When Hawkeye is patched up at the start of the film, Dr. Helen Cho assures him that his girlfriend, if he had one, wouldn't be able to tell the difference. When we later meet Hawkeye's wife, Laura feels the new skin and notes that it's different. Steve using strong language in the final battle and being jokingly called on it by Fury, after he chides Tony for using strong language in the first battle. The Vision effortlessly lifting Thor's hammer, much to the other Avengers' shock. At a party during the beginning of the film, every single one of them failed to do so (though it jiggled a bit for Steve), and reinforced some time later when Pietro in Bullet Time sees Mjölnir flying past him and tries to grab it only to be dragged down the length of the warehouse. Before leaving, Clint promises Laura that he won't make any further modifications to the house. During the final battle, as he and Natasha are driving to the evacuation ships, he discusses another thing he could change in the house. One that took a long time to come back down. In Captain America: The First Avenger, during the "Star-Spangled Man with a Plan" montage of Steve's time promoting war bonds, Steve displays his great strength by holding a motorcycle with three girls on it over his head. At the start of this film, he throws a motorcycle at a bunch of HYDRA troops. Back in The Avengers, Steve's shield withstood a full-power blow from Mjölnir, but the shockwave from the shield sent Thor flying and leveled nearby trees. Here, Steve intentionally has Thor punch the shield with Mjölnir to take out a HYDRA tank. | |

Adaptational Nationality: Ulysses Klaue is not Dutch as he is in the comics, but rather from South Africa (presumably of Boer descent). The Maximoff twins were born in the (fictional) Wundagore Mountain, Transia, but in this film are from the (also fictional) Eastern European country of Sokovia. | |
