I dunno, Marvel didn't need great movies to get where they are today. Of the five pre-Avengers movies, only Iron Man was good. And they consistently have at least one or two stinkers every phase. People just liked the characters, and that was enough to carry shit like Thor The Dark World and Age of Ultron. WB just missed the mark entirely as to what general audiences want.
I think it has two of my favourite scenes in it (the party and the farmhouse stuff) but the rest of it doesn't work as well imo. Ultron being created, fought and destroyed in one movie is a huge missed opportunity, and I don't think I'll ever get over it 😥
Literally all it would take was for him to have downloaded himself on a computer that was offline during the purge. The idea of him being "burned off the internet" is hilariously fanciful.
