Good points. But consider Banner as another creator of Ultron together with Tony. It’s not all about their pride, naivety, or Frankenstein’s monster; It’s about two men who ignored the darkest parts of themselves, and tried to make a solution for others. Ultron was true, and real, and honest in his own way. He was ultimately a mirror of both Iron Man and Hulk: both killers by nature, but fighting against it. But Ultron is willing

This is an incredible well-put together commentary and I'm glad I stumbled upon it. I will be coming back to this for inspiration time and time again.

How does this not have more views?

This was a great video, it really has me thinking. You should have a lot more subscribers. This feels like a video that a million subscriber channel would make. Like this video made me think so much that I’m having trouble thinking. I know that sounds weird but that’s how good this video essay was. Great job

I'm glad you liked it. This was just an assignment for school, so I wasn't even thinking of subscribers. Maybe I'll have to create a channel and upload my other literature essays.

Mr. Dillinger You should definitely do that. And what was the criteria for the essay? Did you choose to write about Ultron and connect it to monsters culture? Becuase it was a really good idea to connect the two. And if you ended up posting your other essays that would be great . 🙌

@@jsmith7680 Yea, it was for my ENG-102 class. Our theme for the semester was the meaning of monsters. This was the only one I did on monster theory, but I'm wanting to do some more since the overall subject is really interesting. Then again, I liked my literature classes overall, which surprised me since so many people hate them. I'll have to start working on some new videos, and if I start a new channel, I'll be sure to post it in a reply.

Mr. Dillinger Your school sounds like it has much better literature classes. At my school you have to write exactly what they want you to and barely have any freedom. I think that’s why most people in my school anyway don’t like it as much. If I had a class like yours I would like it sooo much more lol 😂. But yeah it would be great if you posted some more videos, I would definitely show my support 🙌🙌🙌.
