    “Time.
    Space.
    Reality.
    It’s more than a linear path.
    It’s a prism... of endless possibility...
    where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities.
    Creating alternate worlds from the ones you know...
    I am the Watcher,
    I am your guide through these vast new realities,
    follow me, and ponder the question...
    What if...?"

      I took it as he "will" to NOT interfere stopped him from outright erasing Ultron himself. When he decides to throw some punches back it was just to get away. Before that he was just defending himself.
      I imagine he realized he HAD interfere, but decided to interfere as little as possible himself and let others resolve the issue.

    Still how did they become like this? I know how the Celestials were made but I can't find anything on the Watchers. Its like they either already exists when the Universe/MV was first made. Coming from an alternate Dying Universe/MV like Galactus.
    OR
    They were the first natural beings in the Universe and are just SUPER evolved. Like in that movie Lucy when she unlocks 100% of the 🧠, she evolved.
    Differently but same idea with an Alien Race.
    I wish there was a real Origins like Mar'vel, Nova, Superman, Martian Manhunter...Aliens with a True Origins story. We know how they got to where they are. The Watchers just seem to exist & make their own rules.

    I've been wondering if Uato ever came back after the Original Sin story arc. I mean I figured he would, coz comics, but didn't know how or when... and still missing an eye I see.

    Damn. RAID must really be dishing out the big bucks. That's one of the longest ad reads I've ever seen.

    It makes sense to me that the Watchers can take on the Celestials considering the fact that Uatu could have destroyed Galactus when he had the chance.
