Age of Ultron (The Comic Book)

I have to begin with this confession: I don't have much of a comic book culture. (Which in my language means "I only read Deadpool")

So don't judge me!

Firstly, I found out that reading this kind of a comic book takes a lot of brainwork. So there are things that I didn't understand. But as I have been told before, the movie IS a disappointment after reading the real story.

Well, if you've seen the movie and wish to read the comic -or vice versa- but you're afraid of spoilers... don't be. Because the story is very different. And by different I mean they have nothing to do with each other. And by nothing I mean NOTHING!

Yes there is Ultron and there are the Avengers -sort of- but that is pretty much the only thing they have in common.

I guess we all know that Ultron is the baby of Hank Pym not Tony Stark, definitely not Tony Stark. So naturally Pym has an important role in the story. Along with Wolverine and with Sue Storm. The whole story basically revolves around the three of them with a tiny pinch of Iron Man.

The word "Hydra" is mentioned only once and it is only for a joke. We don't see Scarlet Witch at all and Quicksilver of course doesn't fucking die!

What really happens is that a bunch of Avengers members go back in time to stop Pym from creating Ultron but Wolverine has his own ideas, which involves terminally exterminating Pym. He beats the well-meaning Avengers to it and kills off Pym and of course creates a massive butterfly effect and makes the situation even worse.

Vision doesn't save the day, he doesn't do anything even. Wolverine fucks things up then unfucks them and happily ever after...

Haha! Just kidding! Who has ever had a happily ever after anyway. (Except for Clint Barton in the movie version I guess.)

We meet this mystical Angela person, who apparently thinks that she is some sort of an angel. Or maybe she is. What do I know? I didn't get much of that last part anyway. Why does she think she was disrespected? Did a TV satellite hit her or something? Well, it's obviously the set up for another story so I don't really care that much.

So in general, I don't know how to say that I am disappointed with the movie because they obviously  invented a whole new story for it. But the comic book was something much more I can assure you on that. Ultron is a much more intimidating threat and the storyline is more complex and to be honest more meaningful. But I am a movie geek so I can't say that I hate the movie either. It was fine in its own way.

Only if they didn't kill off Quicksilver. There really was no need for that dudes!

As usual, thank you for reading my humble opinion.

This is what the original Ultron looks like by the way - not that cool.
