  i hope they bring this character back in the future. He has so much potential untapped potential I honestly wouldn&apos;t be suprised if he has another copy of himself out there

  I think Ultron was terrifying because I believe he&apos;s not dead. He lives in the computer networks of our entire planet and if he gets into an advanced robotics manufacturing facility again, he will build a new army.

  There&apos;s something very eerie with Vision during the dialogue with Ultron and during Wandavision finale when he confronts himself, Paul Bettany did a good job with the character and the way he talks

  I really like Ultron. For an evil killer robot, I think they gave him some personality and was actually a dangerous threat.

  Ultron&apos;s reference to children being &quot;smaller people&quot; is meant to parallel &nbsp;Tony calling Haweye&apos;s children &quot;smaller agents.&quot; The reason Ultron is so sarcastic and smug is because he is a clone of Tony Stark&apos;s personality.<br><br>In fact, the movie goes a long way to critique this Achilles heel the two share. If it weren&apos;t for the rest of the Avengers, Stark himself would be getting knocked all over the place as well.<br><br>It is a brilliant use of storytelling to show the team itself will be indispensable for the coming threat. What If...builds a bit further on the message that this was specifically Tony&apos;s flaw and Ultron could have evolved despite that if he&apos;d acquired full use of the mind stone.<br><br>It&apos;s literally Tony&apos;s ego the Avengers are fighting (including the additional &quot;puppets&quot; as backup).

  Comics Ultron was supposed to be an unbridled expression of Hank Pym&apos;s self-loathing. Ant-man was never satisfied with himself. His power was to shrink. Early comics Wasp was always ogling other guys. Eventually he tries to impress his wife by becoming Giant-man. Then Goliath. Then Yellowjacket. He never felt he measured up. Ultron thus hated Hank because Hank hated himself. Only a few mainstream comics actually did a really good job reflecting this.<br>By contrast any time Tony didn&apos;t measure up he rebuilt his armor...but not himself.<br>I was really hoping the movies would lean into this but with Iron-man, since his MCU arc is similarly self-deprecating. Missed opportunity...he targeted humanity, but would have been better for the movie if he made it personal.

  Personally I feel an easy way to make him a better villain would be for him to start out as weak and exactly like Tony. He gets his ass repteadly handed to him and remade, and he acts like Tony each time. However, there&apos;s a notable progression throughout- he starts becoming more powerful, makes less witty remarks and his voice sounds more robotic with each fight. He anticipates all their moves and yeah, begins to use all their tech against him. Eventually the final evolution we see of Ultron would be the comic Ultron, one who is able to take all the avengers at once and almost rarely even talks. Showing ultron not only developing his skills but his own personality, as well as emphasizing his hatred for Tony, seeing Tony&apos;s hypocrisy, negligence, ambition, previous actions, and his attempts to fix his sins through more violence as the sole reason for humanity&apos;s downfall. Basically viewing the man he was designed to be, and his creator, as the worst thing humanity has created.
