As promised, I’m going to start talking about some of the philosophical issues raised in Avengers: Infinity War, and this first one gives me an opportunity to discuss something I’ve meant to for a while: why I find Ultron so interesting. Spoilers and long discussion are under the cut.
Popular opinion: Markus and McFeely are dimwitted hacks. Unpopular opinion: if Marvel wanted to delve into philosophical issues and create a villain who was interesting and compelling without necessarily trying to make him sympathetic… they shouldn’t have pissed off Joss Whedon.
