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.

- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 2014)
- Agents of SHIELD Season 1 "Turn Turn Turn" through "Beginning of the End" (April-May 2014)

So courtesy of my bro, here's another theory born from a re-watch of Avengers Age Of Ultron.
Ultron's big plan was download himself into a new body made of Vibranium and Helen Cho's fancy skin stuff.
He starts the process, and is at least a little ways along before the combined efforts of Wanda and Helen screw that up. Then the Avengers steal the body. Shit happens, and The Vision is born.
But the thing is.....Ultron still downloaded himself into the body, at least a little right......and last time I checked, when you start downloading and then stop the process, the partially downloaded file is still inside the thing you were downloading it not.....
So say Oh, Crap! with me, because part of Ultron is inside the Vision's body, and nobody even knows it.
Why hasn't Ultron taken over? The Mind Stone might have something to do with it. When Thor lit up the body with energy, he energized the stone as well, and allowed Jarvis to fully integrate himself into both the body and the stone. In contrast, Ultron only got himself in there a little bit before it was interrupted. He can't do anything.....right now, but as you know a certain mad titan has decided to do it himself, and I'm guessing when he takes the stone, Utlron is gonna be back in business, in the body he'd intended for himself in the first place.
So, are y'all freaking out yet?
One Strip! One Strip!The point of putting Jarvis in the body was to thwart the Ultron programming.
And probably because Tony missed Jarvis.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
Ok, but how do we know it worked. I mean, can we be sure it removed the Ultron programming from the body?
No, we can not.
One Strip! One Strip!Basically, if this were the comics where they had more room to fill, yeah. That is definitely how Ultron would come back. Has come back before.
By my completely unresearched reckoning, seven Ultrons have come back via programming hidden in Vision.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersVision is part Ultron. He's bits of Ultron's personality and memories combined with Jarvis's personality and the power of the Mind Stone.
If it was just Jarvis alone it likely wouldn't be sophisticated enough to be a fully sapient android.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Oh. I didn't know his Ultron side was integrated. That changes everything.
Guess my bro is wrong again.
Wait, how do we know that? I know Vision said he wasn't like Ultron, and he wasn't quite what Tony intended (though he's either close enough or better) but where did we get the Ultron part is totally integrated into Vision part.
One Strip! One Strip!Mark Ruffalo has some interesting stuff to say about Hulk's role in Ragnarok
.
Mark Ruffalo continued, “Yeah, I think it [will be fun]. I think it's really exciting where we could go with it. Now I feel like we're kind of in No Man's Land. I mean, the comic books have kind of broached the subject, but we're moving away from the traditional Hulk/Banner relationship. We're starting to mess with it a little bit.” As this direction has not been explored previously, he added, “Now we're going to see how far we can push the limits of it before people get sick of it!”

Yep, the first episode of AOS mentions "Extremis," which is from Iron Man 3.
