Line 9:
Once he has the object in his possession, Tony sees an opportunity to enhance his and doctor Bruce Banner's defense project known as Ultron, an artificial intelligence who could remotely control his suits of armor to protect the Earth from alien threats.
 
Sadly for Tony, as he gains awareness thanks to the use of the scepter, Ultron goes psychotic almost from the get-go, attacks and "kills" J.A.R.V.I.S., an fellow artificial intelligence watching over him that was going to warn Stark of Ultron's awakening, and uses the element of surprise to attack the Avengers while getting away with the scepter, fully intent on terminating a good portion of mankind in order to ensure, as Tony wanted, "peace in our time".
 
Directed by [[Joss Whedon]]. Produced by Marvel Studios. Distributed by Walt Disney Motion Pictures.

* [[Aborted Arc]]:
* [[Aborted Arc]]:* Thor doing an [[Achilles in His Tent]] gets a resolution when {{spoiler|he returns to the Avengers claiming to have "a vision"}}. But what's meant to be a longer storyline became a [[Missing Trailer Scene]].
** 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.}}

{{quote|'''Stan Lee'''(Drunk):"Excelsior."}}
* [[Coming of Age Story]]: Scarlet Witch's subplot, helped along by {{Spoiler|Hawkeye}}.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Wanda used her powers on Tony expressly to ruin him. The ending result is Ultron, someone who definitely wants Stark dead and to tarnish his legacy, but his objectives involves mass killing.
* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: The trailer's creepy version of "[[Pinocchio|I've Got No Strings]]". Way to make use of that [[Disney]] ownership [[Marvel]].
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Scarlet Witch after she realised how she'd been manipulated by a killer robot in possibly killing millions.
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]] Some scenes from the trailers and previews were changed in the theater cut of the film.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Ultron was Tony Stark's invention, so most of the ensuing chaos and destruction was pretty much his fault.
* [[No Communities Were Harmed]]: Sokovia, a country who is "nowhere special, but is on the way of everywhere special", and is eastern European, it's clearly a stand-in for Bosnia, an eastern European country that was the victim of several wars between European powers thanks to its unfortunate geographic placement between them.
* [[Sequel Episode]]: To [[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]], [[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 3]] , [[Thor: The Dark World]], and [[Captain America: The Winter Soldier (film)|Captain America: The Winter Soldier]]
* [[Recut]]: Available in the Blu-Ray.
* [[The Stinger]]: Thanos gets his Infinity Gauntlet now that Loki and Ronan failed him to collect the Infinity Stones.
* [[Unwitting Instigator of Doom]]: Though she certainly wished ill will towards Stark, Wanda had no idea her spell would lead him to create an android that is not only hostile to his creators but towards all mankind.
* [[Villains Act, Heroes React]]: The film explored what happens when the heroes attempted to break the status quo by taking preventative measures against human suffering and loss of life. In a nutshell: [[You Can't Thwart Stage One|it just causes more human suffering and loss of life]].
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Ultron was tasked with managing world peace. Sadly, it took the message to its extremes and decided to wipe out almost all humans, since humans cause war.
