"The city is flying......The city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes any sense" My favorite line in the entire MCU.

If you look closely, Cap was actually able to budge Thor's hammer a tiny bit. That's why Thor looked slightly worried when Cap was trying to lift it. He was the only one who could actually move it.

Alex: “Hawkeye is badass!” Alex 10sec later: “Who’s Clint?!” Haha

This is so much better on a rewatch. Especially when you get caught up. This movie is the start to so many great things in the MCU, so with that context it’s a lot more fun.

"Who pays for that?" Tony literally asked how quickly he could purchase the building before dropping the Hulk into it. So Tony made sure that it was his own property before destroying it. One of the advantages of being a crazy rich superhero.

Did you notice the baby's name on the baby's shirt? Nathaniel Pietro Barton. He was named after Natasha (Black Widow) and Pietro because he saved his life by giving his.

Wanda's power is never explicitly defined in the movies, but to sum it up, it's whatever she wants it to be. No joke.

I don’t know why this movie gets so much hate I really enjoy it and the introduction to Wanda and Vision 💜

Alex: “ Where’s Thanos? Is Thanos coming? I want to see Thanos.” Yes, he is coming and you will definitely remember him.

I love how much you appreciate Hawkeye! It's so much fun revisiting these movies with you. Sometimes when I'm bored at work I wonder what day it is and I'm always bummed when it's not Monday. You've made Monday my favorite day!

This movie was a lot better now as part of the entire mcu than it was first received. 12:10 "What's the significance of Wakanda?" Black Panther is King of Wakanda 14:10 Hawkeye is the only one of the Avengers NOT to get mind-controlled by Wanda. This is in reference to the first Avengers movie where he was controlled by Loki. 15:45 I suspect that the Hulk has the judgement of a really drunk person. They can still follow some orders sometimes but aren't thinking through consequences. In this case Wanda's stuff messed him up even more. 16:45 there is a running joke through the MCU about who is strongest avenger, with Hulk and Thor having the biggest friendly rivalry over it 17:45 I love that they gave a lot more depth to Hawkeye in this movie and gave him a family, he's the only Avenger that has a "normal" life. 26:55 There's a screenwriting concept of "show, don't tell" and Vision lifting the hammer is a perfect example of that. They do the whole scene at the party of nobody lifting the hammer to set THIS scene up. Vision lifting the hammer speaks more about his trustworthiness and character than any amount of dialogue could. 31:00 It's easy to miss, but the SHIELD agent working the console there is the same one in Winter Soldier that refused to launch project insight even at gunpoint. 37:10 Exactly right. This movie introduces Wanda, Pietro, Vision, Klaue, Laura Barton, Wakanda, explores Natasha's past, Clint's family, the ending announces Sam, Rhodey, Wanda and Vision as Avengers, the events of Sokvia (the city that went in the sky and was destroyed) become more important later, it's the first glimpse of Thanos holding the infinity gauntlet in the post-credits scene, and about another half dozen things that become essential for the rest of the stories. Of all the movies this one probably contributes the most to the MCU arch than any other avengers movie.

This movie wasn't my favorite when I saw it in the theater, but re-watching after phase three ended gave me more appreciation for this movie and everything it setup.

The bird sound you are asking about is from a Mourning Dove. You see them everywhere, but unless you're looking for them you never see them while they're making the noise. Beautiful brown birds! They have such soft expressions on their faces. Hope this helps 😊

An episode of Agents of Shield actually sets up the beginning of this movie. In the series, they're the ones who find Loki's sceptor and pass the info to Fury who then passes it on to Avengers. Also, the Helicarrier at the end was ALSO set by Coulson in Agents. It was part of his secret project, Project Theta. And the Sokovia incident and Ultron are even mentioned in the show.

This sequel was perfect. First time, I couldn't imagine how the characters were going to keep together since the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I loved the Elizabeth Olsen's performance: short lines with incredible facial expressions.

My understanding of Hulk, is that it all depends on why, who, and sometimes when he is triggered to change. At this point if he chooses to become Hulk, he has some level of control to aim the rage at the enemy, but there is still always a chance he will loose control. However, in the first Avengers movie, he was triggered by the outside manipulating of Loki, the anger at Natasha and Fury for lying to him, and the final literal blow of the explosion caused by Clint on the helicarrier. All of these things forced a transformation out of Bruce’s control and he goes after Natasha because she is there and Bruce was angry with her. No, at this point Wanda doesn’t have control over their minds she is more reading them and unlocking fears or repressed memories etc… with Bruce his fear is simple, going on an uncontrollable rampage and killing innocent people in the process. So my guess is that is what she showed him and it triggered the Hulk, making his fear come to life.

This film was thoroughly underrated when it was released. It lays quite a bit of groundwork for the MCU.

The helicarrier was built by SHIELD. In Agents of SHIELD, Agent Coulson had one built in secret.

James Spader's quirky, yet he's got such finesse. And mean af when necessary. Perfect Ultron.

To answer your question about the Hulk, Alex, it depends on why and how he turns. Banner suffers from DID, and the Hulk is literally another personality. If they're working together, typically the Hulk will be easier to aim, but if he comes out by force, say through fear, confusion, or pain, then the Hulk is just gonna lash out. He's like a 9 foot tall wolf. He can run with the pack, but if he feels threatened, he'll tear up anything that could be a potential danger.

I'll always enjoy little easter egg like the guy in the helicarrier being the same dude that refused to launch the helicarriers in the winter soldier movie. Very nice little continuity and a nice ackwoledgement of a side character.

Your face when the Vision picked up Thor's hammer made the whole reaction worth it. I have been waiting for that moment 😂😂

Glad you enjoyed it! Age of Ultron is a highly underrated MCU movie. It tends to take multiple viewings for people to really appreciate it. It had a ton of work to do with acknowledging what came before it while still setting up so much of what is to come, more so that any MCU movie. With those challenges alone I think it succeeds.

Your marvel reactions are becoming my favorite things on KZfaq. Enjoy Antman, it's underrated, can't wait for Civil War, Ragnarok, Black Panther, Infinity War and Endgame ofc.

Alex: "I don't like seeing the Avengers fight each other". Me: looking up the release list for Captain America: Civil War

When Tony is fighting the Hulk in the African city, and they destroy that construction building, Tony says very quickly "Jarvis, how quickly can we buy this building?". So "who pays for that? Taxpayers?" Nope. Tony bought it, so it's his dime lol And he sent little rockets from the outside to cause the building to collapse inwards, to minimize fallout into the streets.

16:00 Someone in a KZfaq short said it best, Tony learns from his mistakes so that's why you'll always see progression with his character and new things being created by him to try and make things better. 17:29 You're thinking of the common Loon.

Love the reactions man, Iron mans bigger suit when he calls in Veronica is actually called the "Hulkbuster" armor and that bird is a mourning dove lol

"She's just saying they should die?" She's saying that they'll stay to the bitter end; either they save everyone, or they go down with those that they can't save. Luckily though, they didn't have to consider the latter, thanks to Fury and a little help :P

I'm glad you enjoyed it because it's such an underrated movie. It does a great job of balancing the action, character development, and setting up things for the future. As for Thanos, don't worry, they'll get around to him.

The bird you asked about that made that noise is called a Mourning Dove

and i love when tony says at the end "like the old man said together" love that line

Foreshadowing, huh?? You just wait 🤭 this film reached a new level of appreciation years after it came out! And the Hellicarrier makes sense if you’ve seen Agents of SHIELD. It doesn’t really tie in much for later films, but in the beginning it followed the films.

This is my favorite Avengers movie, granted, I had more fun during the other three, but this was just, so good. The characters EACH had something to do, like you said we delved into them as people, I liked the story telling, you can watch this one without having watched the others and it makes perfect sense, I just love it. Plus from a filmmaking perspective I think this just feels the most like a film. But that's just me. It's seriously under rated.

So many of my favorite clips in this movie. Particularly when Cap literally RIPS A TREE STUMP IN HALF. Obviously not that impressive all told with everyone else’s strengths, but it really put it in human terms. Also, the trailer for this movie was like the best one I’ve ever seen for a movie still. The Pinocchio theme and Ultron rasping at the end, “there are… no stringssss on me.” Was TERRIFYING

i’ll always love the foreshadowing in this movie with everyone tryna lift the hammer just for Vision to be able to do so 😂 the silent shock in that scene is always funny to me

Always felt like this movie was the fulcrum of the story, it all starts to change right here.

This movie improved a lot in retrospective after the infinity saga ended.

I think this movie was the most underrated.

This is my second favourite MCU film after Infinity War. One of the underrated gems of the MCU imo. Ultron is also definitely top 5 of my favourite villains. I do feel like they could have done so much more with Ultron. The "age" didn't even feel like a week.

"she's such a fuckin badass!"...and pregnant. Scarlette bodied this role! ..she was pregnant during the filming of this. This movie is fuckin awesome! Love Wanda! You will too! lol Great reaction, bro!

It's an underrated gem of a film.

The payoffs for the setups that have been happening are so worth it. The Thanos build up makes so much sense when you get there.

Hawkeye is my second favorite comic book hero, and Jeremy Renner did a fantastic job as him. I'm glad you're showing him the love he deserves.

This introduction to Wanda and Vision was great. Wanda has so much pain

This is where the fun begins

So when banner chooses to be the hulk he can direct the hulk's rage to an objective or enemy, when banner changes because of emotions hulk has no motive, like an ADHD wrecking ball only focused on what has his attention smart the moment. Wanda used magic to make hulk specifically target the city at first until iron man showed up and knocked the magic out of him then iron man had the hulk's full attention

"Thor gets bigger every movie" ... you're not wrong.

Tony is always adapting to overcome issues he faced in the previous conflicts. His tech is better and better because he is learning from his mistakes.

Strongest Avenger? Wanda, by a country mile.

17:33, the bird that makes that noise is a mourning dove

No apology necessary. Hawkeye aka Clint Barton, is indeed a Badass. Great reaction!

You're TOTALLY right. A lot was setup in this film. Most importantly you've made it. Everything from here on out starts to tie together and is AMAZING! Prepare to have your mind blown! I can't wait to watch you experience this.

I love Marvel Monday but I NEED these reactions more than once a week :( You have soooooo much more to go

"The Avengers" was a culmination/climax of the handful of movies that proceded it. "Age of Ultron" is the start/trigger of several future storyline.

Fun fact: Scarlett Johanson wax actually about 6 months pregnant during filming and her belly was digitally removed, which makes her scene with Mark Ruffalo kinda funny

This movie is not one of the most well liked but it's the most important to the Infinity War and Endgame movies.

Every dream is foreshadowing and I love it. So much better once you've seen Infinity War.

15:54 I love how Iron Man's suits upgrade each film, but it's especially cool how you can acc see that each upgrade seems to fix specific issues he had in the previous films.

Hulk in the MCU basically boils down to if he initiates the Hulk, he has somewhat control and people can interact with him. If he is induced, by taking damage where it might kill Banner, then Hulk comes out and just wrecks shop with little control by Banner. When ScarJo pushed him over the edge to become Hulk you saw him kind of look at her like "what are you doing?" We can assume he changed soon after dropping because he came back up fast and smiled at her, so Banner induced that change.

This movie aged really well you'll see as you watch more films

Good question. The answer is this ain't the real Age of Ultron, but for the sake of avoiding spoilers I will stop right there. And this is when a particularly doomed relationship begins, which is pivotal to the plot for that previous phase and the current one.

Raymond Reddington's voice is totally iconic for James Spader and i love it!

That bird sound is a Mourning Dove, I believe. I’d hear them alllllll the time when i lived out in the country, and thought it was an owl at first. Ngl i kinda miss hearing them now that i’m in the city 😂

You're right Alex this was more of a setup for future MCU movies than a climax like the last one. Still very cool tho and introduced a few new characters like Vision (a.k.a the red guy) and Scarlett Witch and her brother Quicksilver. Sad that Quicksilver died but the way he died saving Hawkeye was awesome.

It’s a worthy successor, in my book. My primary conflict with the continuing narrative is still a couple movies away, I think. Agents of Shield would actually counter much of that criticism, as it happens, but it’s not canon. ‘Nuff said. We’ll get to it when we get to it. I enjoyed this movie, though it was particularly lame of Whedon to include the same “joke” in this and Justice League.

"I don't like seeing The Avengers fight each other." Civil War whistles innocently.

17:29 That's a mourning dove. Got 'em all over the place near Chicago, where I live.

When you mentioned that you loved the ultron stuff and mind altering stuff, I highly recommend checking out Altered Carbon. Super good mind game stuff. Also, the movie reactions are great, and I think the marvel stuff is my favorite!

IMO, this is the first movie that Marvel should have split into a two-parter. There's just so much information to absorb, and a natural part 1 / part 2 aspect to the story. If they had split it, they could have taken a little longer with some aspects of the story to make it more suspenseful and moody.

Cap could probably lift the hammer in that moment, but he is a hero. He would not shame his friend and comrade so the moment he felt it moves/is light he decided to not lift it.

also when tony and nick fury talk in the barn on how tony saw his friends die but that that wasn't the worst part love that whole scene

Is it foreshadowing or a fucked up vision? Yes.

Another great reaction. Question...are you going to watch the disney+ series in order with the movies? I would highly recommend it.

Captain America felt that he could lift the hammer. It even moved a bit. He CHOSE to not lift it for Thor's benefit.

'A thing is not beautiful because it lasts' is my second favorite line in the MCU up to this point (the first being 'there are always men like you')

love this one a lot and have grown up watching it since it came out also i pity Ultron also love the joke hawkeye says about ultron sitting on quick silver near the end and stuff also i believe Ultron truly had feelings for wanda which is shown at the end

I was waiting for this 😀

"whats that bird that makes that *whoooooo* sound" It's OVHOES, owls in laymen's terms

For the record Agents of SHIELD episodes had been coming out in and around all these movies and explained some of the things that happen out of the scope of the movies, like for example how Fury somehow got his hands on a helicarrier

This is a good movie that gets way more hate than it deserves.

This wasn't a perfect movie, but after the rest of the infinity saga, it fits a bit better.

lmfao i always start my mornings off with one of your marvel reactions - its a good vibe to start the day off with.

34:33 when you’re thinking about the difference between Banner and The Hulk, it’s basically the comic book rendition of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Banner/Jekyll is the Brain and Hulk/Hyde is the Braun, but there are moments of clarity for Hulk/Hyde where it’s not just “kill kill kill” constantly.

Just keep remembering you said Hulk was the Strongest Avenger 😂 You perfectly set up a call back that comes in a few movies! I can’t wait 😂 So, Jarvis picked up the hammer but did you peep that Cap moved it a bit? That’s why Thor got that look on his face. This movie set up YEARS of debate over if Captain America was worthy or not. Was he only able to move it a little or did he realize he could pick it up and didn’t, because he didn’t want to upset his friend? You decide.

Ultron has father issues, that's why he hates Tony, they make it clear that Ultron is in a sense the child of Tony.

When Iron Man and Hulk are fighting and he crashes Hulk into the unfinished building, Tony actually buys the building before wrecking it. “How fast can we buy this building?”

Loving the Marvel Mondays but wishing I'd found this when you were further along so i could binge the reactions

Super excited for this one! Keep it up!

"Who's Clint? That Hawkeye?" LOL! Yeah, that's Hawkeye. It kills me because, despite literally everyone referring to him as "Clint" out loud in every damn movie, people STILL sit there and wonder "Who's Clint?" Yeesh! O_o

30:57 I love that the curly-haired guy who refused to launch the carriers in Winter Soldier is now on Fury's bridge.

17:25 Bird call is a Morning Dove :) Here it helps give grounding in time for the viewer, along with the atmosphere of the scene. Helps sell that its early morning.

As I said on a previous vid, this movie as whole is one of weaker but also can't be missed cause it lays the ground work for so much to come. Dude you have no idea the ride you've started lol Ant-man next eh? Time for some fun lol

Rotten tomatoes is never acurate

you know what man, i like it that you're doing this once a week, makes me want to look forward for the next Monday to come.

The Reaction to Vision being born at 26:02 Ha Ha Ha!!! I did the exact same face when I saw it the first time in the theater!

First baby

That bird you hear is the Mourning Dove

That suit's name is 'Hulkbuster'. It's only used when Hulk gets out of control.

Between Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron they did a great job of integrating the films with the SHIELD TV show where, since they lost all their helicarriers when Project Insight was destroyed, resurrected Coulson (very long story) had completing a Helicarrier as one of the tasks he was working on constantly in the background. There was a split after this movie and the TV show became its own universe.
