Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Would Thor be Palutena because deity? Or Pikachu because electricity? Or De De De because hammer?

I don't really see Ultron being that stupid. His plan is very straight-forward.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Let's not forget that Ultron is insane. There are numerous theories as to why (I like the one that he's both the evil AI from Loki's Staff and Tony's peacekeeping AI at the same time, resulting in absurd attempts to justify his own contradictory actions), but the insanity isn't up for debate. Remember his interactions with Klau? He's planning on wiping out all of humanity, but takes the time to pay a man for his services. And then when he accidentally cuts his arm off, he desperately apologizes and promises they can fix it somehow.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.With regards to paying Klau—it might just be "paying him is easier than the inevitable fight that will ensue if I refuse", rather than "I legitimately believe this man should be compensated."
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Well the exact details/goals of his plan changed several times. At one point it's trying force humanity to better itself and evolve, the next it's just Kill All Humans. Keeping Klaue alive and happy (well relatively) could have helped him in whatever new world order he wanted before changing his mind.
I tend to find the "Ultron is insane therefore does dumb stuff" argument less and less compelling every time I hear it. Mainly because there's little justification for it. Loki was insane and made dumb decisions, but I can buy that he would be so dumb as to try to yell at the Hulk because of the culture he's been brought up in and because of the time he's spent lost in space feeding his resentment. Ultron, however, has all the accumulated knowledge on the Internet and the power of a cosmic supercomputer within him. I could buy that he would be so ruthlessly logical and without conscious as to destroy humanity. But I didn't buy him repeatedly failing the Evil Overlord List by mistakes he's "witnessed" previous baddies like Loki make.
He didn't see the need to leave drones behind as insurance since being able to escape and hide in the internet made him functionally immortal. And even if he had backups, Vision burned him out of the internet, limiting him to just the drones he had with him in Sokovia.
Now, once the battle started he should have maybe sent one away to be an emergency escape, but I guess that's what the damaged one Vision finds was in the end, albeit unintentionally.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Hulk is either DK or Bowser.
Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?
