Yep, I enjoy RDJ as Stark, but I would have liked to see hank Pym in the spotlight for it It was based on the comic like BvS was based on DKR That is to say not at all
Rage of Ultron is one of my favorite comics. Great art, great story, great selection of characters (Sabretooth as an Avenger?!), and a real good bittersweet ending
@@Spartan-on9pe wrong cap shield made of proto adamantium which is vibranoum and iron and pure adamantium is stronger than proto adamantium which is stronger than pure vibranoum
Jack Williams haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa;) i rember that it was funny
Let's be honest... The next Ultron story is Page of Ultron... In al seriousness, I never liked the Age of Ultron storyline because it felt like a jumbled mess, but Annihilation Conquest was amazing! Read the entire storyline until Thanos Imperative... Or was it War of Kings...?
(NO SPOILERS) I'm from germany I already saw Age of Ultron and it was amazing! But a little tip there is ONLY ONE end credits scene not like in Winter Soldier where there were two. I'm telling this because my friend and me were almost pissing our pants at the end of the movie because we stayed the whole time in the theater just so we wouldn't miss anything.
It would be interesting though if we found out in a future movie that tony stark was brainwashed to create ultron's current form by the original ultron who was created by hank pym who forgot about creating him just like in the comics. It's hard to know what's in canon when you start introducing brainwashing in stories though, so I'd doubt they'd do something like that.
I always loved Hank Pym, in any other universe he would be an evil mad scientist, but he loved Janet (the Wasp) so much he became a hero instead. So now you have a character that subconsciously wants to conquer and destroy the world fighting to save it in anyway he can. He has turned his mad science to good...and it almost always wreaks some havoc in the process.
So you are not going to talk about the Moon Knight storyline in which he finds Ultron's head? Am I seriously the only one here who actively reads Moon Knight comics?
It's so awesome getting the movie before america for once, that meant no spoilers, and by the time the spoilers come, i would have already seen the movie 10 times. It's also really cool seeing our city in the scene when hulk and ironman fought. Johannesburg representing!
Arris, if you haven't already, can you make a video explaining the different ages of comics, such as the Golden Age, Silver Age, and Modern Age, etc. I'd really appreciate it!
Well yeah sort of but I mean it was a really fair fight and tony had to replace broken pieces of the Armor if he didn't have those back up parts it's over
I liked the action scenes. But, Ultron story was too rush. Loki was such a good villain, that even many people see him as an anti hero. On the other hand, Ultron was just a "mad" robot wanting to destroy the world. I liked a little more the first one
I have seen the movie and it was great, it was better with every time I have seen it (3 times so far) because I noticed details that I first missed. It all comes down to opinion but for people that are bashing it - either you're a DC troll or you had unrealistic expectations because this movie had it all, from action, comedy, character depth.. don't know what else you wanted,
Ultron Unlimited has one of my favorite comic panels and lines of all time the avengers have been sent through the ringer and battle worn they finally confront Ultron. Thor Says the line "Ultron we would have words with thee" I can't do the picture justice you just know something is ablout to go down.
***** UK viewer here Arris. I have seen Age of Ultron, twice. Just want to tell you, you are going to freakin' love every second. Cant wait to see your review. It beats both Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy as the best MCU movie hands down!
Tbh i went from the guy who thought comics and superheros were gay, to the biggest fanboy ever since i subbed to your yt. The history behind the characters are so fun and intresting. For example= I used to think " O, whats so cool about the flash. a guy that runs really fast thats not cool". But then i find out he can faze through objects time travel/warp, heal and think at incredibel speed. thats just one of the reasons why im a hardcore fan now. thanks keep posting vids
So you seriously think comics and superheroes are something to be "gay" with?? Thank God you've change cuz that shit is so dumb to think abt, no offense.
I kinda feel bad for watching the age of ultron movie early in my country wish the whole world could have seen it together, after seeing this movie twice I can say that..... its definitely a movie worth seeing more than once :)
I've seen the movie 2 times, and i'm thinking of seeing it the 3rd time. In case you're wondering, i live in Europe where they premiered the movie earlier
I wish that Marvel Studios would reboot the Age Of Ultron movie when the Disney and Fox deal is complete so that they can make the movie like how it is in the comic book, with the X-men and Avengers and every other Marvel heroes, that would be really cool.
i liked ultron in avengers 2, james spader's voice was so menacing and it perfectly fits ultron but i think his origin could have been handled better also he didnt have much time in age of ultron in my opinion. ultron in earths mightiest heroes was spot on, best version of the character!!!
Age of ultranationalist is amazing. Very good the average movie goer with plenty of Easter eggs and teasers to what's next for the more advanced although the quick silver Scarlett witch origin isn't great
Hey Arris! Love the show. I think it'd be a neat idea to do a History of Creators series. The stories of the lives of Jerry Sigel, Joe Shuster, Bob Kane, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Grant Morrison, etc. are at least as interesting as the stories they've created.
Arris, sorry for the spoiler (it's a pretty huge one) but quicksilver dying pissed me off so much it's crazy. I wanted so much more of him in future films and stuff. It honestly won't exit my mind like at all. Every other thought is " he's dead. My favorite hero in the whole movie, and they had to kill him off.
Totally missed out the whole Annihilation: Conquest in the episode but gave it as reading recommendations? was it cut for time? also missed the Mighty Avengers vs Ultron thing where Ultron takes over the iron man armour (and is a naked wasp clone).
list of spoliers so if you don't want to know anything just go away this is for the ones who want to know: * * * * * * * * * 1. quicksilver died 2. hawkeye has a wife and 3 (4 acctualy) children 3. in the end of the movie captain america says Avengers Assemble (without the part of Assemble) 4. Cap and Black Widow will train the new avengers: falcon, war machine, vision and my love Scalet witch and also flacon and scarlet has new suits! 5. Thor says he is Mighty. also he explains about the 4 gems which are Power, Space, Mind (vision has the mind gem) and Reality 6. Thaons is in the after credit scene, pick up his guanlet and says "fine, i'll fo it myself" 7. nick fury fix the Hellicerir 8. War machine can kick ass :D and has a lot of scenes 9.Hulk is missing, he took the Quinjet and left the avengers, he considerd as missing now 10. Black widow and Bruce Banner shared a kiss 11. ironman quit the Avengers 12. Vision can lift Thor's Hammer 13. Vision killed the final form of Ultron 14. Klaw lost his hand, Ultron cut his hand and took all of his Vibranium 15. Scalet and Quicksilver hates Tony Stark cuz his missles killed thier parents 16. Cap and Thor and the new Bros, they share so much but so much scenes togehter! 17. hulk was beaten by the hulkBuster ironman and it was the most funny scense in the movie! the end!
I've seen it and it's amazing. I love everything about it. The best part was Ultron was made and attempted kill all humans then avenger won which lead to some interesting thing outcome
hello variantcomics, i have a question for ya recently my friend told me of ironmans new suit.... suit 51 or the symbiote suit. being a symbiote, wouldnt that mean it has the same weakness? a bell does the job, right?
You forgot to talk about Annahilation:Comquest where Ultron proved Stark correct on being able to protect earth from Alien invasion. By invading and almost destroying the Kree empire and many other galaxies.
***** could be to avoid that whole X-men Quicksilver, Avengers Quicksilver confusion that could possibly happen later on. Seeing as how Civil War just might have some X-men in it. It's not confirmed or anything but could just be a safety net if they need one.
Hey Arris, "Avengers: AoU" was realeased in Argentina last week. I saw it last friday. So... eat your heart out xD Loved the video bro. Enjoy the movie.
key name, Hank Pym. that name dont exist in Avengers first or second movie and he is not only the original Avenger like ironman and cap. america but also he invented ultron. they made so many changes and no1 seem to bother it :P
Richard Big But the free comic book of the New Avengers 0 showed what the new team looked like. In it was (Female)Thor, Iron Man, (Falcon) Captain America, Ms.Marvel, Miles Morales Spider man, and Nova
Kanye's Ego like +Sage Berserker say in sew avengers 0 even in the first page say that is a look to the marvel universe after secret wars, and people of marvel say secret wars is not a reboot, is only going to affect some characters but the most of them would be the same
I would recommend starting with justice league volume one, from the new 52, I think it is a good story and is a good starting point for new people. Also when you get more into comics check out any of the new 52 batman. For marvel, which personally I don't read, but I believe they have makings on the cover that tell you it is a good place to start. Also you may want to buy some of the trade paperbacks, because both marvel and DC are in the middle of events that you have to know a lot about comics to understand.
encyclopedia then from there scearch through it dont have to read it all but look for stories or characters that interest you and then buy books about them thats wat i did
Ultron is one of the best villains out there. Writers just make ridiculous reasons for him to be defeated.
I know it was like ?? They made him Love himself LOL
@@speedracer0495 Yeah I don't even get why that would stop him
@@darkdendan I mean how else are you suppose to stop him you can't use time travel all the time
you got to see what if to see why Ultron had to die
Same as stories about aliens... in real life we wouldn't be able to win
Ultron's devious plans were foiled once and for all when the heroes managed to install both AVG Free and Internet Explorer on his software.
Don't forget macafee!
Nord VPN
And chrome the ram eater!
the movie age of ultron is not based of the comic age of ultron or rage of ultron.. and hank pym's role in the comic has been swapped with tony stark
Yep, I enjoy RDJ as Stark, but I would have liked to see hank Pym in the spotlight for it
It was based on the comic like BvS was based on DKR
That is to say not at all
@@SantaPorter420 I think you mean iconic moments were referenced
My favorite marvel villain ever. Lets hope he sees some more action soon
Rage of Ultron is one of my favorite comics. Great art, great story, great selection of characters (Sabretooth as an Avenger?!), and a real good bittersweet ending
Which Metal's Tougher,The Stuff That Wolverine's Made of,or,The Stuff That Captain America's Shield's Made of?
So anamatium (wolverine) vs Vibranium (caps sheild)
Vibranium, sry I'm 5yrs too late
@@Spartan-on9pe It’s Cool,I’m Just Glad to Know,Thanks
“Tougher” as in more durable I would say vibranium as it absorbs vibrations
@@Spartan-on9pe wrong cap shield made of proto adamantium which is vibranoum and iron and pure adamantium is stronger than proto adamantium which is stronger than pure vibranoum
How come Ultron's clones were made of industuctible metal,but we're broken so easily by the avengers?
Cuz there's alway something that is stronger than the other thing
Indestructible doesn't always apply to the Hulk
Because the Avengers would've been mopped if it was realistic.
@@SantaPorter420 “we have a hulk”
@@SantaPorter420 Or thor
What no mention of how Ultron-9 was a naked woman? XD
Saransh Khanna not all of us are perverts
I know, but I laughed so hard when I saw that Ultron 19 was a woman.... with Iron man inside of it, so... Technically Tony was... a woman....
Saransh Khanna lol
Jack Williams haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa;) i rember that it was funny
Technically he was re shaped Extremis, not sure how Tony survived that lol.
oh i loved age of ultron btw i find it better then the first movie ;D
Yoshi same but personally i think 1st one was better
MrRushhour4 In my opinion Age of Ultron is the best Marvel movie so far.
I think the first one was better.
I gotta say age of Ultron was my fav too, OPINIONS OPINIONS EVERYWHERE
I hated quicksilver dying and scarlet witch and quicksilver accents
Ultron being a Tony stark creation makes so much more sense.
Let's be honest... The next Ultron story is Page of Ultron...
In al seriousness, I never liked the Age of Ultron storyline because it felt like a jumbled mess, but Annihilation Conquest was amazing! Read the entire storyline until Thanos Imperative... Or was it War of Kings...?
***** Thanos Imperative
Tell Joe I say hi
I agree age of ultron comic was not good but rage of ultron great
(NO SPOILERS)
I'm from germany I already saw Age of Ultron and it was amazing! But a little tip there is ONLY ONE end credits scene not like in Winter Soldier where there were two.
I'm telling this because my friend and me were almost pissing our pants at the end of the movie because we stayed the whole time in the theater just so we wouldn't miss anything.
Captain Falcon and Star Fox in the same story, that's like Smash Bros.
Age of Ultron was great, and Ultron was great in it. I think it's better than the first one.
I loved ultron in it, that smaller people? line cracked me up
nathan warren I loved the "ask Noah" one, THAT was funny, but not many people will get it.
Lukas Sørensen Ultron is the best villain of MCU
Finally someone agrees
Even though age of Ultron wasn't the best,Ultron himself was great. I loved his dark humor!
It would be interesting though if we found out in a future movie that tony stark was brainwashed to create ultron's current form by the original ultron who was created by hank pym who forgot about creating him just like in the comics. It's hard to know what's in canon when you start introducing brainwashing in stories though, so I'd doubt they'd do something like that.

History of The Question
Arris, if you haven't already, can you make a video explaining the different ages of comics, such as the Golden Age, Silver Age, and Modern Age, etc. I'd really appreciate it!
Glad you did this one as ultron is one of my favourite villains ever
spoiler alert
hulk buster suit beats hulk
Well yeah sort of but I mean it was a really fair fight and tony had to replace broken pieces of the Armor if he didn't have those back up parts it's over
They would never let Robert Downey Jr get beat. The hulk should have define fly won.
ming wang Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep....
Later- "sorry"
God I loved that fight! I've seen the film twice now and that whole scene is amazing!
Thank you for this I've been waiting this for so long

Yeah, Star Fox! Go Nintendo! We all know Slippy Toad was in trouble the whole time and like "heeeeellllpp meeee! " haha

Another great video Variant. Next you should do a history of Nightwing episode.
Once Starfox sends Ultron into space, he commands him to "Do a barrel roll."

Love your new sponsor. Finally something I can be interested in
Starfox? Does he do barrel rolls?
Can you tell us a little bit of info on the Lazarus pit in arrow they described it but I didn't really understand what he was saying
Age of ultranationalist is amazing. Very good the average movie goer with plenty of Easter eggs and teasers to what's next for the more advanced although the quick silver Scarlett witch origin isn't great
I am surprised he didn't mention Ultron's second son, Victor Mancha, from the Runaways comics.
Here in Chile we saw the movie and is everything you would expect and more
Hey Arris! Love the show.

Suncho I know, I've watched the show, but I want HIS review.
We all are. The show is to good to be ignored ;)
Phalanx Ultron and Ultron 12
Great episode. Now I really want to Read Rage of Ultron now. I have been putting it off.
can please please either do the history about starfire,blue beetle 😆
I prefer the comic version of Ultron
Have a question, would Mystrios illusions work on ultron??
hello variantcomics, i have a question for ya
recently my friend told me of ironmans new suit.... suit 51 or the symbiote suit. being a symbiote, wouldnt that mean it has the same weakness? a bell does the job, right?
Saw it yesterday. I loved it!!! :D
ive already seen it did it come out earlier in the UK?
I saw that man WORDS are NOTHING to describe it man, awesome man awesome man.
Hey can you make a history of episode for A.T.O.M. from DC because he has made a couple of appearances in the CW show the Arrow and also the Flash
You forgot to talk about Annahilation:Comquest where Ultron proved Stark correct on being able to protect earth from Alien invasion.
By invading and almost destroying the Kree empire and many other galaxies.
I was just waiting for this episode I'm going to watch it today or tomarrow i can watch even when it's not in theaters hooler
You should make a history of the infinity gauntlet and stones
After the whole marvel month you should do a history of black canary episode.
Looking forward to the movie catching the 2am show tomorrow
Quicksilver dies
Lemon Beast And so does Hawkeye, doesn't he ;)
Lemon Beast i still don't get why they did that
Hawk eye didn't dye he went to his family
***** could be to avoid that whole X-men Quicksilver, Avengers Quicksilver confusion that could possibly happen later on. Seeing as how Civil War just might have some X-men in it. It's not confirmed or anything but could just be a safety net if they need one.
Best marvel channel ever !!
Arris that shirt is amazing!
Hey Arris who do you think would win in a fight ultron or amazo
Ultron Unlimited is by far the best Ultron story IMO :D
The intro music for Marvel month is AWESOME! What is the name of it good sir?
I have a request for two history of episodes. Fantastic Four, and Doctor Doom.
Do the history of Etrigan the demon next!
Could you do a history of Adam Worlock not a lot of people know about him
Hey Arris, "Avengers: AoU" was realeased in Argentina last week. I saw it last friday. So... eat your heart out xD
Loved the video bro. Enjoy the movie.
You should do the History of Nightcrawler :3
He's one of my favorite mutants in X-Men
Also he's blue and blue is AWESOME!
Are the civil war comic collection a good read and what about infinity gauntlet
can arris give us a peek to his comic book/ graphic novel collection? that'd be awesome
Now do the Nightwing history!
key name, Hank Pym. that name dont exist in Avengers first or second movie and he is not only the original Avenger like ironman and cap. america but also he invented ultron. they made so many changes and no1 seem to bother it :P
I was expecting age of Ultron review, I guess waiting a couple weeks to put in spoilers?
England got age of Ultron before the USA?
Cemtexify Every place except the US got AoU they did the same for the first movie and both of the Captain America movies.
Hey what happened to the convergence issues?
Did you say... the new Captain America??
Nosaj yes... yes he did... guess who... it start with F
Yea... fnaf4 confirmed...
Cake # Doesn't the new avengers take place after the secret wars? Since it has Miles Morales on the team along side Ms Marvel and (Falcon) Cap America
Richard Big But the free comic book of the New Avengers 0 showed what the new team looked like. In it was (Female)Thor, Iron Man, (Falcon) Captain America, Ms.Marvel, Miles Morales Spider man, and Nova

"There are no strings on me"- Ultron
