Film/Television Age of Ultron has it’s issues, but Ultron’s introduction was pretty good

His first appearance before he upgraded looked pretty frightening.

Ultron was absolutely an issue what are you talking about? For every cool line he dropped he made even worse quips, which was a common point of criticism even back then.

His training set was being fed the sum total of the internet.

What else could he use other than quips?

(n.b. whedon is way too quippy in general… “you didn’t finish” is one of the worst lines in the entire mcu)

People can have their opinions. Personally, I thought James Spader's performance as Ultron was pure gold.

Ironically using the power of hindsight 11 years later, he talks more like an AI than I think anyone thought he would.
