'''''Avengers: Age of Ultron''''' is the 2015 sequel to ''[[The Avengers]]''. In it, the Avengers must work together to defeat Ultron, a mechanical artificial intelligence bent on human extinction.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
** Both Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver seeking revenge on Tony Stark subplot, since he killed their parents. {{spoiler|There's no real resolution, as they sided with the Avengers when the twins realized that Ultron is a greater evil, not out of any epiphany about Tony not being a bad guy}}.
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: Two mainly. After when Scarlet Witch shows them a vision, {{spoiler|of Asgardians burning in Nordic Hel and the Infinity Gems, Thor}} goes to {{spoiler|the University where Erik Selvig teaches at}} just to find answers. After doing that, he comes back with a vengeance. At the film's end, {{spoiler|Bruce goes on a self-imposed exile, since he's disturbed of what he has become as the Hulk, also showing that his Achilles in His Ten will be long.}}

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Vision, unlike his comic book counterpart, is more powerful and important. In the comics, his powers are just standard - flight, higher than average toughness, strength, density manipulation powers, and a beam weapon, that's powered by his solar-powered gem. The comic book version of Vision is just an android that was given life by copying another existing superhero's brain. But he's the Avenger that gets the [[Worf Effect]] treatment, since he's easy to rebuild, and was [[Put on a Bus| left behind in Avenger's warehouse]] for years and wasn't in many story arcs, like "The House of M", and he came back in the comics circa 2012. In the film, Vision was made {{spoiler|through a combo of artificial cells and J.A.R.V.I.S's mind, and animated by Thor's lightning.}} His strength and toughness rivals ''Thor'', mainly of the Vibranium that's incorporated into his cells, his solar gem is replaced with {{spoiler|an Infinity Stone}}, and he holds the rare few in the universe of {{spoiler|being able to lift Mjölnir.}}
<!-- * [[Adaptational Nationality]]: Unlike in the comics, Ulysses Klaue ain't Dutch, instead he came from South Africa (Presumably of Boer descent).
** The Maximoff twins hail from Wundagore Mountain, Transia. In the film, they're from Sokovia, an Eastern European country.
** Hank Pym never made an appearance in the MCU, until [[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]] MOD: Not a trope here. -->
<!-- * [[Adaptational Wimp]]: Baron Von Strucker, he's a huge villain and a serious threat in the comics. Though in the film, he was a [[Smug Snake]] who was also cowardly and makes a brief appearance. But was killed by Ultron off-screen. MOD: Not a trope here. -->
* [[Adaptation Distillation]] Actually has nothing to do with the recent [[Crisis Crossover]] and was instead based on based on the introduction of Ultron and Vision combined with the Ultron Unlimited.
* [[Adaptation Name Change]]:
