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.

Tropes used in Avengers: Age of Ultron include:

• Aborted Arc: Thor doing an Achilles in His Tent gets a resolution when 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. 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, of Asgardians burning in Nordic Hel and the Infinity Gems, Thor goes to 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, 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.
• Action Dad: Clint Barton is Happily Married with two kids and is expecting a third child.
• Action Film Quiet Drama Scene: The farmhouse scenes. Each of the characters has to consider whether they worthy to be an Avenger.
• Action Prologue: The opening has the team battling HYDRA and Baron von Strucker, just before moving to the opening credits and the main plot.
• Adam Westing: This time Stan Lee cameos as Stan Lee, a WW2 veteran who tried Asgardian liquor - Which is "Not meant for mortal men." - And is carried out of the party muttering "Excelsior!!"
• 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 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 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 an Infinity Stone, and he holds the rare few in the universe of 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
• 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.
• 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:
  • The Hulkbuster suit was never called that; instead it's called "Veronica."
• Adapted Out: Instead of Hank Pym, it was Tony Stark who made Ultron.
• Advertised Extra: Both Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch appeared in the trailers and promotional material for Avengers 2.
• Age of Titles: AGE of Ultron.
• Aggressive Negotiations:
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Ultron is this. While Jarvis is inverted this trope altogether.
• All of Them:
• All There in the Manual: The comic book tie-ins explains what happened with some of the Avengers and the events all leading up to Avengers 2.
• Alternative Foreign Theme Song: In Japan, WRETHOV's "In Memories" was used.
• Antagonistic Offspring: Ultron towards the Avengers, mainly Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.
• Antagonist Title: Age of Ultron, because Ultron the villain in this movie.
• Anti-Villain:
• Apathetic Citizens:
• Apologetic Attacker:
• Applied Phlebotinum:
• Arc Words:
• An Arm and a Leg:
• Artificial Intelligence: Both J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron.
• Artistic License Biology:
• Artistic License Physics:
• Ascended Extra: Hawkeye and Black Widow, turned out that Clint Barton was married with a wife and kids in a farm. Whereas Nathasha was trained to be one of Russia's most ruthless spy, before her Heel Face Turn and becoming an Avenger.
• Ascended Meme:
• Ask a Stupid Question:
• Asskicking Pose:
• Attack Its Weak Point:
• Back from the Dead:
• The Cameo: Stan Lee shows up at Tony Stark's party as one a war vet, telling his war stories.
  • Tells Thor to stop scaring them about how potent the Asgardian drink and has to be escorted out later after drinking some of it.

Stan Lee(Drunk):"Excelsior."

• Ironic Nursery Tune: The trailer's creepy version of "I've Got No Strings". Way to make use of that Disney ownership Marvel.
• 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.
• Sequel Episode: To The Avengers, Iron Man 3 , Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier
• Recut: Available in the Blu-Ray.
• 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: it just causes more human suffering and loss of life.
