A full power action scene puts all 6 OG Avengers in one place, retrieving the Mind Stone disguised in Loki’s scepter given to him by purple nurple Thanos. Back at base with the scepter, Stark and Banner make a hybrid AI which, predictably and instantly, goes rogue after some introspection and a tete-a-tete with JARVIS. It busts them up, then teams up with two super twins: one fast and the other weird, aptly put by Agent Hill. These three chop off Ulysses’s arm, steal vibranium and give Hulk a bad trip, giving Iron Man a great excuse to break out the Hulkbuster, named Veronica. The Avengers get R&R at Hawkeye’s countryside place, Thor also takes a bad trip in a hot spring, while Ultron starts body building. He puts the Mind Stone to use, but half the Avengers interrupt him and get the body back to base. Thor gives the body some electro shock therapy and jolts it into the Vision, who is basically JARVIS and can pick up Mjolnir, just like Captain America (finally) does in Endgame, so he’s a good guy. They assemble to fight Ultron and his army of mooks while clearing out the city with the help of Flying Fury and SHIELD. Hulk is ‘leaving on a jet plane’, the first superhero death in the MCU happens, and the Witch-Vision shipping fandom is established. Ultron is vaporized and Thor lets Vision have the Mind Stone as (kind of) a third eye.
Joss Whedon had a lot of experience with the ensemble cast, so it was only a matter of having a good, tight script and screenplay. James Spader had the perfect voice for a philosophical AI villain, and mo-cap is just everywhere nowadays. Paul Bettany gets a body in the MCU, and the additional cast that would go on to feature prominently in Infinity War settled into their roles.
Stan the Man got Pan Galactic Gargle Blasted with his veteran friends from Thor’s round Asgardian hip flask, saying his catchphrase – Excelsior.
End tag: Purple nurple Thanos puts on the Infinity Gauntlet, setting up Avengers 3, or as we now know it, Infinity War.
