    Vutlure Knows His Place In The World And He's Not Happy About It

    The Vulture is a sympathetic character, as he was royally screwed when the government kicked him out of a lucrative contract.

    Ultron Sees The World From A Different Perspective

    It didn't hurt that Ultron was voiced by James Spader, as the man can deliver a phrase in a manner that conveys far more than just words. In this scene, Ultron explains why he's able to see the world differently, pointing out that "You want to protect the world, but you don't want to change." He continues, explaining that it's not possible for humanity to fix its problems from within, saying, "How is humanity saved if it is not allowed to evolve? Look at these, these puppets. There is only one path to peace... the Avengers' extinction."
