One of the fiercest villains in Marvel Comics, Ultron came off more like a cartoon character in his MCU adaptation.
In the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, the journey from comic panels to the big screen brings about inevitable transformations for its characters. While some adaptations faithfully capture the essence of these beloved characters and others improve upon them to align with the film's narrative, there are instances where these changes miss the mark entirely.
There are definitely similarities between comic book Ultron and MCU Ultron. For one, both versions share the fundamental trait of being an evil, self-aware AI, although their creators are different. Instead of Hank Pym, Ultron is brought to life by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in the film. Still traumatized from the Wormhole incident in The Avengers, Stark decides to build Ultron as a way to put a “suit of armor around the world".
Although Ultron's introduction in the film is unquestionably cool, with his twisted body and his frightening words about the Avengers extinction, it's very rushed. Immediately after his creation, he decides that all of humanity is unworthy of existence. The sudden shift from Stark's vision of global safety to a near-apocalyptic nightmare lacked tangible character development, making Ultron's decisions feel abrupt and instantly disconnecting us from his motives.
