Ultron

Enjoying the garden and the nice weather with [𝑅𝐸𝐴𝐷𝐸𝑅]

This is how you know people who don’t read the comics😭. Jocasta was created by Ultron to be a bride for himself.

Y'know, Ultron... it's always hard being in this line of work

@ThePrimeUltron Got any beer?

Normally, I am one who would advocate for a more faithful adaptation. However, I also can also recognize where creative liberties and exceptions do work well. I am firmly of the belief James Spader's Ultron works exceptionally well. Giving a new angle in how to consider for sapient AI and synthetic beings. Don't get me wrong, I love the cold, calculating yet obsessed Ultron from the comics. His antagonistic, complicated relationship with Hank Pym. Yet him being based off MCU Tony Stark also works extremely well too (especially see where his design comes from. It being derived from Tony's Ironman armor). Ultron loathes his creator, loathes the humanity his very mind is based upon. He thinks he is better than them, yet acts like them,while also susceptible to much of their same weaknesses and even psychological needs. Since becoming sapient he found a need for companionship and a higher calling. Like the amount of times he makes references to Christianity and God. Not with mocking, but with fascination and semi-reverence. Though his interest is more in the apocalyptic lessons, not the others about grace and repentance. When compared to Tony Stark, Ultron becomes deeply insecure and loses his cool. This contrasts with his cool, sardonic, and seemingly in-control personality he carries himself with. (Like Tony). Because in his creator, he sees irredeemable failure who will doom everyone. Yet I think Ultron, deep down, knows fears he will end up just like his creator. Because the MCU Ultron is a deeply frustated, conflicted yet dangerously sharp character. Something that makes him a very compelling and dangerous villain. James Spader's masterful performance really brings that out. He claims to have "no strings" on him, acting of his own now established free will. So what does he do? He decides to go along with plan that Tony and Bruce had for him. Though this time not driven by blindly following his initial programming. Instead by his own god-complex, resentment, and deeply corrupted altruism. To prove he can do what Tony wanted him to do, but better and in his own way. To prove he is the "new, better man" who could accomplish "peace in our time." Except, like his creator, it is beyond him. Even as he tries to convince himself it's not. All his upgrades and enhancements are also, IMHO, an attempt to further distance himself from his creator. From humanity. Despite that, he still desires some part of that humanity, to not just be accepted but adored by it. Look at Vision, Ultron designed him to look human. When Pietro and Wanda betray him, he is deeply wounded by the loss of their friendship. He tells a captive Black Widow: "I was meant to be new, I was meant to be beautiful. The world would've look to the sky and seen hope. Seen mercy. Instead they'll look up in horror, because of you." He decides from this point to just wipe out humanity and replace it with himself. To not just fulfill his mission of "peace", but as a means to never see humanity again. Out of a resentment that got deeper. So he doesn't have to look at them and be reminded where he came from. Remind him of their flaws and vulnerabilities they have that he also does. So he can "move on". I just don't think he really would be able to even if he did win. It wasn't a proper nor remotely healthly reconciliation. tl;dr - I love MCU Ultron and think he works really well despite his inaccurare depiction. How he has to grapple with wanting to be superior than his creator and humanity...while being far more like them then he'd like to admit. Especially in terms of faults and limitations, despite his inhuman power and intellect.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Disney is facing backlash after Marvel's new show VisionQuest gave Ultron a 'Black robot girlfriend' and it's reportedly got critics calling it forced diversity. The android Jocasta is played by T'Nia Miller, and it makes her the MCU's third Black female villain.

"You're a loser" I hope your favorite niche comic character gets poorly adapted with a talented and charismatic actor playing the role so they permenantly override the character's public perception and brand synergy causes their performance to bleed back into the comic books

Just because you don’t like the plot and direction that this movie went for doesn’t mean that other people dont like it

As a loooong time Ultron fan, yes he is very different but do not downplay the amount of characterization put into this character

No, me gusta porque es un buen personaje. Me chupa un huevo si es igual al de los cómics o no. James Spader influyó 0 en un personaje que se me fue introducido en Next Avengers y encima en el MCU lo vi en su doblaje en español.

False. Assumption is a parody delusion. I was introduced through The Imperative and Tom Kane's representation in Next Avengers. I would have killed to get something close to Kane. Spader has the sauce and as said many times, MCU is its own iteration via adaptation.
