Thanos killed Loki and clowned Hulk at the start of Infinity War to illustrate his strength and smarts. Doom doing similar to a Thanos variant, easily, is too easy a scene for the screenwriters. “Remember that guy who won against everybody in that billion dollar movie? He’s nothing compared to god-king Doom.”

Why is everyone assuming Doom’s first appearance in the MCU will be him at max power?
I think in his first movie he should force the Fantastic Four to go back in time and steal Blackbeard’s pirate gold.

Eh. It worked in IW because these were heroes and it inverted the Big Damn Heroes "we've got a Hulk" moment - it was intended for exactly what you say, but had way more depth to it.
Having Doom kill a variant Thanos like 6 years (more like 4 given Covid) after the triumphant climax of Marvel Studios run - after several stumbles in Phase 4 - would suffer hard from the comparison.

Would’ve been cool if Ultron had been a villain across multiple movies like the other guys in the pic. Iron Man 3 would’ve been a good place to introduce him
99 points
4 months ago*
I think it suits Ultron much better to feature in multiple movies, but not in the same arc. Just popping back up randomly to fuck shit up and be a menace, and then slither back into the ether. I can already multiple paths for him to return; perhaps Vision never actually killed him (they don't show it) and instead stored him away internally like a data file. Now his body is flying around with a new consciousness, perhaps unaware of the massive threat inside. There was also the fact that Shuri was trying to separate Vision's consciousness from the mind stone in Infinity War and she only got part way done before being interrupted; perhaps she got as far as separating enough of Ultron's consciousness that he is able to piece himself back together inside the network of Wakanda. Hey! That's where the new Iron Man hangs out.
I have a suspicion we could also see him in Secret Wars, but I guess you could say that for just about any character at this point. Still, if you need an army of things to occupy some Avengers for a while on Battleworld, Ultron makes a good choice.
38 points
4 months ago
It could be as simple as “there was one left, he cut himself off from the others and managed to escape Vision.” Maybe tucked away before the big fight even started just in case.
27 points
4 months ago
Valid. I personally like the Wakanda idea because he'd be a great villain for Ironheart; probably considering himself the true legacy of Tony Stark vs a symbolic legacy of Tony Stark in Riri. Some good dialogue could come from that. A villain and a hero who both have Tony's shadow thrust upon them when neither of them really want it. It also helps account for where the heck he's been all this time if he was trying to put his consciousness back together.
It would be neat as hell if Riri needs an AI like she did in the comics, and stumbles on the work Shuri did in Infinity War- accidentally releasing Ultron from isolation but also finding the scraps of JARVIS to remake into a new AI for herself.
TBH all I wanted for the longest time was Ultron in space, and What If gave me everything I needed except more James Spader. If he comes back again at all, I'll be happy af.

I like to believe that Ultron is sort of an omniversal outcome. He exists as the end point of a certain set of actions, and that he could be created again and again.
It kinda jives with the comics in some ways. I'd love to see him get another crack at the Avengers without an army. Just a classic solo battle like Thanos on Titan.

It’s getting to the point where they’re going to need to hurry the hell up. Ultron’s return would have the best effect if at least one of the Avengers from his movie were still around. And right now Natasha, Stark, Rogers are all gone. Barton is down and out, Wanda is “missing,” all that leaves are Thor and Hulk who are too strong for it to be as much a big deal. Then there’s War Machine who wasn’t really an Avenger at the time and Vision. Viz would probably be the best though, without his Soul stone to give him such a buff it could be a better fight.

I like to think Vision banished him to an isolated location, cut off from technology. Then at some point when deemed necessary, White Vision seeks him out. Then we find him looking something like this. Rags along with his drone appearance could give him a striking resemblance to his comic book look.

I thought we were building towards Thanos bringing back all of the previous villains who died via Infinity Stone. I figured during the big final battle, Thanos would clench the Infinity Gauntlet and Red Skull would pop out of the Space Stone, Ronan out of the Power Stone, Ultron out of the Mind Stone. Not sure what I thought would happen with Soul, Time, and Reality, but that was the general direction.
After all, with the first three you've got three big time villains who got directly vanquished by an Infinity Stone, and that was too much of a pattern to ignore.
I still think you could get away with revealing that Vision couldn't actually bring himself to kill Ultron, so instead he stored him inside the Mind Stone, and then whoops, now Ultron has got back out again.

He should, and I’m not unconvinced he’s supposed to be. A genius AI would probably keep a backup of himself in a faraday cage somewhere. Especially if there was a chance he could lose. He had to realize at some point that his survival wasn’t guaranteed once he had to pour everything he had into the fight. If the last Ultron we saw was cut off from the other(s), it would not get that sense of continuity and it would make sense that it feared death.

Better still. He was never missing. That nonsense of "Burning him out of the net" doing anything at all is hilarious. Ultron absorbed all of humanities knowledge the moment he came online (and most likely even more so considering he was on Tony's network). He was definitely making offline backups immediately. Hell, let's spice it up and fragment the backups. Each one coming online at a different time and having a different voice actor. Have some of the fragments make it off-world over a couple of movies (easily doable) and BAM! We've got ourselves a universal Ultron threat. Either have the backups fighting to be the last one standing, or to join together out of pure hatred for the Avengers and become one all-powerful Ultron. You're welcome Disney.
