Did you knowAvengers : eld of Ultronhad its tenth natal day last week ? The occasion got overshadowed by the expiration ofThunderbolts*—sorry , New Avengers — but it ’s now a decade erstwhile , and Marvel ’s got an day of remembrance video to celebrate .
The five - minute compilation runs through a fistful of the film ’s fundamental moments , including the squad endeavor to lift Thor ’s power hammer , Thor bear the Vision , and Tony using the Hulkbuster armor to bestow down a mind - controlled Banner . It is n’t so much a highlight reel as it is a collection of jolly democratic scene meant to show the Avengers at the friendliest , messiest , and mighty . majuscule , but it might also remind about the unearthly outer space this movie has occupy in the years since its release .
Back whenAge of Ultronfirst released on May 1 , 2015 , it was regard as a self-coloured , albeit disappointing subsequence to the originalAvengers . By the time the credits rolled , folk music left the theater of operations feeling something was off , and it became the first veridical snow to Marvel ’s fairly solid rail disk up to that degree . Thor : The Dark Worldhad Loki to use as a carapace , butUltronlacked the “ wow ” factor that terminate up diminishing the appeal of another group excursion for these characters . Save for mayhap Hawkeye , it did n’t really do anyone here any favour , and the upright thing you could say about it was how it answer as a jump off tip for more interesting MCU development down the line : without it , wouldCaptain America : Civil Warjust a year later feel like a more proper ( and frankly better)Avengersmovie ? DoesThor : Ragnarokexist ifUltrondoesn’t take the god out of the film for anInfinity Stones - focuseddetour that felt wildly out of place at the meter ?

Outside its own franchise , Ultronhelped position the cornerstone for writer / directorJoss Whedon’screative future and subsequent expel followingabuse allegationsfromBuffystar Charisma Carpenter . Much of that can be position at Whedon pairingBlack Widowwith Banner and give away she ’d had a draw hysterectomy during her upbringing in the Red Room , the former further aggravate byChris Evans and Jeremy Rennercalling her a fornicatress in an interview . The good will Whedon hadpreviously earnedthrough his treatment of women in his anterior work gradually came crashing down after theAvengerssequel , and the picture ’s mixed response led to his metre at Marvel being functionally over .

Its liberation and previous particular of hisalleged on - set conductblew up his calling and after exitingThe Nevers , which he created for HBO Max in 2021 , there ’s been no real word of him since .
So yeah , Age of Ultron , uncanny film to find out , peach about , and generally be as a small-arm of medium . WandaVision , Hawkye , andUltron ’s returnin the Vision ’s own upcoming serial publication ensure it wo n’t be completely forget , but of the variousAvengersand Phase Two flick , it ’s perchance the most “ great , but this really could ’ve just been an e-mail ” of the clustering . peradventure it ’s better with age , but that require listening to going through the smarmy quip again , and I think we ’re all dependable on that front .
