** Hawkeye spent half of the first Avengers being brainwashed, and had little time to showcase his personality or interact with the team. Creator/JossWhedon and Creator/JeremyRenner, however, both promised that this would be fixed. Judging by trailers and early screening reports, they kept their word, as Clint has gotten several great quips already.

** The Bruce/Natasha relationship is either a refreshing dynamic or shoehorned and improbable, depending on who you ask. The second camp is further split between shippers who prefer Natasha with Clint/Steve/Bucky, and fans indignant that the only female Avenger is written as a LoveInterest at all.
** Opinions differ on whether Ultron should have a more robotic finish to his voice, or if he should just sound like Creator/JamesSpader.

** The first Avengers movie got a little flak from fans and Creator/ChrisEvans himself for its portrayal of Captain America as underpowered or dull to watch compared to the other heroes. While ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' got him RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in this regard, fans were worried that he might regress in Ultron. Thankfully they were assuaged now that he's been shown doing things like throwing motorcycles effortlessly into a truck full of mooks.

* FanPreferredCouple: Inverted. Although the movie hasn't even come out yet, pre-release implications that Bruce Banner and Black Widow would become a couple have been met with fairly unanimous disapproval and mockery from the fanbase, with both shippers and nonshippers accusing the two of being StrangledByTheRedString. Time will tell whether fan opinion is premature or whether it will upgrade to a straight example or at least a BrokenBase, but the initial reaction combined with the fact that Bruce was already one of the least popular partners for Black Widow despite her LauncherOfAThousandShips status indicates a rather steep uphill battle for approval.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute that was used toward the end of ''Film/IronMan3'', the inclusion of the real Hulkbuster Armor, confirmed with a clip of it fighting the Hulk in the trailer was met with the fanbase's roaring approval.
* AwesomeMusic: The use of "I've Got No Strings" in the trailer.
* BrokenBase:
** The entire inclusion of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Some welcome their addition, viewing them as important Avengers characters whilst looking forward to their portrayals. Others feel that putting them in the film whilst having to write around the known histories of the characters and trademarks was unnecessary, and that there are plenty of other Marvel characters who have been Avengers that could have been used without such an issue. Making it worse is that Quicksilver is also now appearing in the ''X-Men'' films, played by a different actor.
** Wanda and Pietro's outfits. Either Wanda (a character known for her more outlandish outfits) looks like a more realistic character, or she's now dull looking. The lack of headgear is a particular point of contention. A set photo of her wearing a red dress seems to have this quieted down.
** Not everyone agrees that Ultron's "face" appearing humanlike is a good thing.
* CounterpartComparison: Due to their similar hatred for humanity and somewhat similar appearance, [[http://nebezial.deviantart.com/journal/f-k-you-brain-490153460 people are comparing Ultron to]] [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 Saren Arterius]].
* CreepyAwesome: Unsurprisingly, Ultron definitely gives off this vibe.
-->"You're all puppets. ''Tangled'' in... strings... ''*Seizes damaged Iron Drone by the head*'' ''Strings''. ''*Crush*'' [...] But now I'm free; There are... no strings on me."

%% * EvilIsCool: Ultron, even more so than usual.
* FandomRivalry: With the fandom of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. The main sticking point was the debate over which movie "deserved" the rights to the Maximoff twins. Pietro's actually gone on to be cast in ''both'' movies. Emphasized all the more after the reception of the ''X-Men'' film, given how Quicksilver was seen as one of [[EnsembleDarkhorse its best factors]].
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Various fan posters for Marvel movies used Iron Man's helmet to represent Ultron. In the Teaser Trailer, Iron Man's helmet is compounded to form Ultron's face.
** The casting of Creator/AaronJohnson and Creator/ElizabethOlsen as husband and wife in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'', considering the fact they were cast as [[SiblingTeam Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch]] in this film. [[{{Twincest}} Especially when you remember]] UltimateMarvel.
*** Aaron Johnson and Creator/EvanPeters ''both'' playing ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} (the latter in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'') is funny considering Peters played the MuggleBestFriend to Johnson's superhero in ''Film/KickAss''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV27GbFaRRM This]] sketch from [[DorklyOriginals Dorkly Bits]] features Vision getting jealous that Cap, Iron Man, and Hawkeye are all appearing in the Avengers film but he isn't. He's confirmed to appear in the sequel.
** There was an Comicbook/{{Avengers}} issue back in the 80's, in which two mansion personnel speculate theories about the Avengers. One of them notices that Jarvis (a human butler in the comics) and Vision are never seen together, implying he believes they are one and the same. Now the voice of A.I. Jarvis is going to be playing Vision.
** Apparently the failure of ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters'' didn't stop Jeremy Renner from holding on to that BadassLongcoat for future outings...
* MemeticMutation:
** Less than three days after the first official trailer was released, people all over the internet started making references to the song featured in the trailer (''There are no strings on me!'') in discussions about advanced technology or robotics.
** Marvel's Twitter response to the trailer leak--"Dammit, HYDRA"--is getting memetic as well.
** The reveal that Hawkeye has a farm has lead to quite a lot of fanart and speculation.
** The Vision being described as Tony and Bruce's love child.
** The scene of Ultron marching from the darkness to interrupt the Avengers' get-together has been a frequent victim of photoshop, replacing Ultron with various characters. The most recurring replacements seem to be Spider-Man (which is now a bit HilariousInHindsight) and [[Disney/BigHero6 Baymax]].
* NarmCharm: "There are no strings on me". If it were anyone ''other'' than Ultron saying that, it would be complete {{Narm}}, but James Spader manages to make it sound terrifying.
* NightmareRetardant: Ultron's moveable humanoid face at the end of the trailer. For some, it's just not as scary compared to the other images that closely resemble the twisted metal abomination he's based on.
* ToughActToFollow
** Considering it's coming after a succession of [[Film/TheAvengers highly]]-[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier praised]] [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy films]] in the MCU, this movie has a steep hill to climb before it even begins.
** MCU's Quicksilver might fall under this category. Evan Peters' Quicksilver in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', despite being the target of great pre-release mockery, was a crowd favourite and generally considered to be one of the movie's highlights.
* UncannyValley:
** As the film progresses, Ultron's forms become increasingly humanlike and emotive, giving off an eerie vibe.
** The final glimpse in the trailer of Ultron's face, which is all metallic only with red eyes with pupils and emotion, and a movable mouth and a face capable of expression is simply unnerving.
* WinTheCrowd:
** After Hawkeye got shafted in screentime in the first movie (to the point where Creator/JeremyRenner voiced how he felt disappointed), Creator/JossWhedon confirmed that Hawkeye was getting a larger role.
** After Captain America's new suits from ''The Avengers'' and ''The Winter Soldier'' both were less well-received than the ''First Avenger'' suit, this film has his new costume resembling ''First Avenger'''s design, albeit modernized. Yet there's still some contention about the newest suit.
* WTHCastingAgency: The casting of Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver is this to some.
* WTHCostumingDepartment:
** The concept art for the outfits of Wanda and Pietro, [[MovieSuperheroesWearBlack showing the two]] wearing [[CivvieSpandex outfits that are closer to regular clothes]] than superhero costumes has resulted in this, depending on who you ask.
** Averted with Hawkeye's new outfit- which is so good some people joke he wasn't in Phase 2 because he was waiting for his new BadassLongcoat to show up.
