Age of Ultron may be the most spiritual superhero movie yet. The creators of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” use the archetypal Byronic hero of Tony Stark and different kind of allusions (historical and mostly biblical) to convey the idea that playing God’s role by making our own manmade gods will never result in peace.

being, who he then abandons, and now the monster is getting revenge on Frankenstein by inflict havoc on his family. An example of this would be the movie Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron and the relationship between Ultron and his main creator Tony Stark. Tony creates Ultron out of nemesis’ Loki’s sceptre and Ultron decides to wipe out mankind off the face of the earth. They are similar in the way the creators created their monsters and their ability to admit their wrong doings, but the monsters
Age of Ultron is Brian Michael Bendis’ last hurrah on Marvel’s massive Avengers franchise. Bendis began writing Avengers when it was a third-tier comic book property, and he was – in a large part – responsible for turning the comic franchise into a sales juggernaut.

So, with Bendis moving off the Avengers franchise
film “Avengers Age of Ultron” shows that the Avengers' actions lead to consequences in life or death situations that they never thought they would be faced with. The film explores the idea that even the best intended actions could result in the worst outcomes without thoroughly thinking about the consequences. This movie shows this while using literary devices of foreshadowing, rhetorical questions, and similes. The best instance of this is the main villain of the movie Ultron In a scene of the movie
In 2015, The Avengers have reassembled to (sweep some more money) save the world again from a monstrous artificial intelligence robot called Ultron. Being one of the most highly anticipated movies of this year, Avengers: Age of Ultron has put every moviegoers and pure comic fans in enthusiasm from every casting news, leaked photos from shooting places, to the trailers they unveiled to the world. I remember myself tracking every single news of this movie, and when I first saw the trailer back in December

Frankenstein is an iconic story, which has been the inspiration for many books, movies, and TV shows. A popular example of this is the recent comic book based movie, Avengers; Age of Ultron. While there are things that differentiate the two, you can base a lot of the characteristics of Ultron back to Frankenstein's creation. Ultron, along with Frankenstein's creation, are both created by an intelligent scientist, trying to be the leaders in their fields by accomplishing something that no one else has. Both
female characters. These women have struck down gender stereotypes and took it upon themselves to defeat their films antagonist. A modern example of these women can be found in Marvel Comic’s Black Widow; however, in the recent film Avengers: Age of Ultron, the characterization of Black Widow made her a more stereotypical emotional woman rather than the collected badass viewers witnessed in previous films she starred in. Natasha Romanova, the Black Widow, made her debut in 1963 as an antagonist to
telling stories is revolutionary. Marvel has spanned their story over twelve movies, three television shows, and much more in production. However, there are a lot of similarities and differences between the movies, “Avengers” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, and its television adaptation, “Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D.”. Avengers is set in a fictional universe called the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It follows the lives of six individuals who each acquired special abilities and/ or super powers through
Remember the time when Joss Whedon allegedly claimed that the resurrection of Phil Coulson may have taken "some punch out of" the Avengers?

During a recent interview with the Oxford Union, Whedon spoke up about the issue and confirmed what Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans have known all along. "No, I don 't regret
cinematic franchise has amassed Disney a cool £5bn to date. Joss Whedon has done a fantastic job of bringing the original graphic novels to the silver screen for a second time. This time around the rag tag bunch of heroes must take on a new foe, Ultron, who is played by James Spader. He is originally a stoic artificial intelligence who, no thanks to Tony Stark, comes to believe he must destroy humanity in order to save the Earth along with his two sidekicks, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. The film

Defend their home, protect their people, and then finally, finally break down, give up. She exacted her revenge on Ultron despite it ending in her death. Vision swooped in, however, and after that, with nothing else left, Wanda chose to join the New Avengers.

In this paper, I shall argue that according to Aristotle and the view of egoism, Wanda Maximoff is an ethical egoist and a virtuous character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, also called the MCU. The virtue theory was introduced by philosopher Aristotle, providing information on how to become a happy and good person through repeated self-practice, rational thinking, involvement in the community, being arete, etc. Arete is when a person strives for excellence, and it is one of the important factors
