Hello my lovely humans,
I realize that obviously this has nothing to do with books, but that's why I'm talking about it in the "off topic" section. You may not know this about me but I am a total nerd. I grew up surrounded by comics and they have always influenced my life. One job I work is actually reviewing certain comics. Anyway, I just got back from seeing Avengers Age of Ultron for the second time (this week) and all I want to do is rant about it with everyone I talk to! Which got me thinking, I wonder how many of you also saw the film and being as nerdy as I, want to just rant theories about it. If that is the case, then pleasssseeee drop me some comments and lets get this nerd train going!

The Theory: Ultron would infect the Hulkbuster’s tech and go on a rampage, leading to the Hulk having to intervene as the only Avengers capable of beating it in a fight.

The Supposed Evidence: Why else would he be fighting the Hulk in the trailer?

The Reality: Nothing of the sort.

As soon as the first trailer showed Hulk with his red eyes and furious anger, a lot of fans called that he would be the one losing his cool and rampaging. They were right, but not as many correctly guessed that Scarlet Witch would be behind his loss of control (or at least, not until the LEGO tie-in line spoiled it for everyone who saw it).

While Ultron was capable of controlling technology, for some reason he seemed less bothered about doing so to the Avengers’ gadgets, which would have made it a lot easier to win. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing.

Would It Have Been Better? Possibly. It would certainly have made more sense than Ultron just ignoring the Avengers tech. But then, it is always compelling to see the Avengers fight each other.

Going back and forth with my one friend, I had actually guessed that Scarlet would be behind it. I completely agree that as amazing as the movie was, given the comic book knowledge for each person there's always room to improve. I also agree that Ultron missed out on some opportunities. All the fighting between characters got me very excited for Civil War. The biggest complaint I had was with Quicksilver, I mean come on, that can't be the end of that! @jennymatrix
