Ultron Is terrible Villain

 

Ultron is a Terrible Villain

Now Avengers Age of Ultron is one of the most over the top MCU films because it's supposed to be a horror movie. But they toned it down and made it into a generic MCU comedy film with really dumb jokes and a messy story. Now what seems to be agreed upon is that the somewhat redeeming quality is Ultron at face value. Yes he was James Spader he did a good job with his performance and his scenes were the best parts of the film. But the more I thought that not only did I learn that Ultron is a lackluster update from Loki from the first Avengers film but he is actually a horrible villain. I´m going to go through all the reasons as to why. 

5. His motivation was barely developed and didn't make much sense. Ultron is  trying to wipe out all of humanity and fix it he essentially thinks of killing every human on Earth. So the world can start over and I'm just  thinking that  not particularly a good idea Wanda even states that he's just doing this for revenge and it is toned In a very weird way. Now his motivation has ignorance of goodness in it but it feels incomplete and not thought out like how Xu Wenwu´s motivation from Shang Chi. With Xu Wenwu you clearly see a guy that's broken because his wife is dead and he wants to bring her back so him and his son can be a family again. But with Ultron I just see a psychopath and I don't see the tragedy and the sympathetic sides to him. He's just a crazy lunatic who wants to commit murder. A psychopath is pretending to be tragic. But in reality he is not Ultron's flaws big and numerous that he just came off as a generic MCU. The only reason why he doesn't fall into that category is James Spader ´ s performance. But from a writing point of view he is no different from all the other terrible MCU villains and on the page he is not even in same league as Xu Wenwu. 

4. The violence for Ultron was massively pulled back. The scenes where he is attacking the Avengers. It didn't look very dark and disturbing at all. I mean Chappie was more violent with the robots killing people and The Long Walk was more violent when Mark Hamill as The Major was killing people. But the way Ultron delivers his robots to the Avengers to try to kill them came off very silly and not scary at all. It makes this Avengers film the least violent Avengers film out of all of them because this movie is  PG-13 but Ultron just makes it like a PG comedy film. I can sort of see that with the heroes like Ant-Man and Spider-Man but you should not do that with your big villains. Especially a villain who is supposed to be the next big threat in the second Avengers film. 

3. Why is Ultron even here?. Why does this Overly comedic movie have a serious  villain that's like putting Mephisto in Ant-Man or introducing Magneto in Ant-Man 2? He should have saved for a different movie, specifically one that had  higher states and maybe one that was consistent with the comic book. That is a stain on this MCU's former villain that will never leave him.  The next Loki. Loki made his first debut in Thor. Ultron made his In Avengers 2 

2. The false marketing/Ultron coming back. This was so ridiculous to me because Avengers Age of Ultron was marketed as a serious horror film and when you saw Ultron in the trailer he looked really Scary. Also James Spader surprisingly gave a better performance than he did in the actual movie. Now you would think this would be the MCU movie that will be a horror movie. But no they didn't do that. They turned Avengers Age of Ultron into a generic MCU comedy film and that really took away from Ultron's intimidating presence and fear factor. Now those who are excited about Ultron returning are look at the potential future for Ultron and I'm just here thinking well this is essentially just ruined the potential of Ultron because he is more powerful than Loki and Vision is able to kill him. The most evil villain in Marvel Comics and he got defeated by another robot that is ridiculous as having Ant-Man take down Apocalypse all by himself. This does not sound interesting to me especially if the battle with him in Vision Quest is going to be like the disappointing battle with Ultron in this movie. Also before anyone says it I don't care if Ultron comes back because he has made a complete embarrassment of himself and I don't think anyone can take him seriously. so Ultron coming back is a dumb idea because it just creates more problems rather than exciting path forward.

1. What did Ultron do? Just think about it. What did Ultron do in this film, because we all know what The Void did. The Void attacked New York and banished everyone to The Void and he even wanted to torture Bob and the Thunderbolts and he wanted to have Bob all to himself so he be lonely and depressed for the rest of his life because as he says we will always be alone. Wow what a way to Introduce your villain. So what does Ultron do with his first true appearance he tells the Avengers that he wants want to kill off all the humans he manipulate The maximum twins to join him and he also try to crash the city of the Sokovia back down  and kill everyone and that's all he does he couldn't even get the vibranium so he in list Klaw´s help to do it. He also tried to see himself as God and that's all he does. Honestly, what is this? They put The Void in a Thunderbolts movie which was a threat to all of New York, and meanwhile Ultron who is supposed to be more powerful than The Void is put in an Avengers film and gets his ass kicked by the Avengers. putting Ultron in this movie makes him look dumb. Actions speak louder than words and the movie can tell you about all of it at once. Heck even Ultron can tell you all he wants which he sure  loves doing but at the end of the day he still got his as kicked by the Avengers, a more powerful team. I honestly think Ultron is a poor man's Xu Wenwu the movie Shang Chi developed him really well. They actually made you feel sorry for him and even though he was evil you actually kind of sympathized with him because he lost everything. But with Ultron I can care less because I didn't care about his motivation and I didn't care about him trying to kill the Avengers not to mention when Ultron  meets Tony Stark later on he cracks a generic MCU joke. There wasn't anything big for Ultron to do this was just another MCU movie that was here to set up the next one and not to mention Ultron didn't put up a good fight with Thor and all the other Avengers and even Vision just blasted him with a laser and that killed him and that was really dumb. They should have made him like how he was in the trailer because would have killed most the Avengers. But no they defeated him with very little effort and this really ruined his chance of being a great villain. So all these reasons and more why I think Ultron is such a terrible villain. James Spader is the saving grace of this character and the reason why Ultron is being praised at all but the storyline is not equal to his performance. and the little robot duplicates well Comic accurate. the movie didn't really do enough with them and Ultron think of Ewan Mcgregor´s Black Mask mixed with Taskmaster from Black Widow and you get this movie's Ultron He will go down as one of the most Disappointing MCU villains and as one the worst comic book adaptations you will ever see and also the best scene in the film is where Vision confronts Ultron and just comes off as a cheap rip off to the scene in Thunderbolts's final action sequence where Bob is confronting The Void. Also when you take an account that Ultron is coming back in Vision Quest and it will introduce Ultron's love interest Jo Costa who is also going to be voiced by a human. It just shows that the MCU did not do a good job adapting Ultron from the comics.
