Yeah but smf20 was talking about how it's a stupid idea to not use Pym in the first place.
Not to mention that OP's reasoning behind Tony being an asshole based off of these two things seems invalid to me
awwh, that's so sweet to say! :3 (also, excuse my grammar, apparently it was too late that night for me to realise how to spell things and use 'who' instead of 'that' ^^')
Last time I checked, Loki, Tony and Joker were not in the same movie. Also, did I misunderstand something or did Loki really kill so many people his own brother had to blurt "he's adopted", lock him in all sorts of chains and drag him to a prison cell? Really, such a whiner, not a real villain at all. Wouldn't even try to rule the world 15 times, start a few wars or attempt to kill his own brother every chance he got. How did I EVER mistake Loki for a villain?!? Must've been blind.
Lemme stop you right there. In the movie universe, Tony suffers major psychological damage, and he feels a need to protect the ones he loves ( and the world in general) he does the Ultron project WITH Banner. In the comic, Ultron was built by Pym, who based Ultrons artificial intelligence off his own brain patterns. Let's assume that Tony did the same, we now have a super intelligent, super powerful robot with a major ego and superiority complex trying to take over the world. If anything, it proves that Tony has the potential to go Dark side, to use his intelligence for evil, but he makes a choice to be a hero, to protect.
In the most recent trailers we learn Ultron wasn't supposed to be evil. Ultron in the MCU was built by Tony as a safety net around the world, he states. Ultron devises the only way to save humanity is by eradicating it because we harm ourselves too much. Tony ain't a dick. Humans are.
Yeah. I'm only partially familiar with the comics but as far as I was concerned when I first heard that Ultron was the antagonist in this movie, I knew that he was built to be good and help the world, but just changed his mind by learning and making decisions on his own. It would be like if he gave Jarvis a powerful body and probably a little more intelligence, and then Jarvis made the same decisions about humans. But that's just what I assumed from what I know, which isn't much on the subject.
