Why Do I Think Ultron Is a Terrible Villain

Now when it comes to Avengers Age of Ultron there's nothing I can say that I haven't been sent. I thought the jokes were really terrible. I thought It was just overly silly. There were a few good things about this movie but This is one of my least favorite MCU films as a matter of fact it is the worst Avengers film of all of the MCU. Now it seems to be agreed upon 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 lackluster update from Loki from the first Avengers film but he is actually be 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 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 side to him. He's just a crazy lunatic who wants to commit murder like an unstable psycho. 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 scene where he is attacking the Avengers. It didn't look very dark and disturbing at all. I mean Even I, Robot  Robots that came after the main character. Even Chappie had robots killing people. But the way Ultron delivers his robots to The Avengers to try and kill them came off very cheaply 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 sort of see that with the heroes like Ant-Man and Spider-Man but you should not do that with your big villains. Especially 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 Age of Ultron. 

2. The false marketing. 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. You would think this would be the MCU movie that will be a horror movie. But no they didn't. 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. 

1. What did Ultron do? Just think about it. what did Ultron do in this film, because we all know what Cassandra Nova did  she manipulated Mr. Paradox into giving her the time riper she tried to destroy the Multiverse. She also manipulated Deadpool and Wolverine to help her get access to the time ripper so she can get them home. Wow what a way to Introduce your really threatening villain. So what does Ultron do with his first true appearance well 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 list Klaw´s help to do it. He also tried to see himself as God and that's all he does. Honestly, what is it? They put Cassandra Nova in a Deadpool movie, a movie worthy of her menace to the entire Multiverse and meanwhile Ultron who supposed to be more powerful than Cassandra Nova, 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 film 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 butt kicked by the Avengers, a more powerful team. I honestly think Ultron is a poor man's Xu Wenwu 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 all the Avengers. But no they defeated him With very little effort 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 is the reason why Ultron is being praised at all but the storyline is not equal to his performance. and the little robot duplicates well. The movie didn't really do enough with him and Quicksilver thinks of Gen Carlo Esposito's Sidewinder mixed with Yon Rogg from Captain Marvel. He'll go down as one of the most forgettable MCU characters and as one the most boring 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.
