(paraphrasing) Ultron has watched an unhealthy amount of television.

Am I Ultron?

After Jarvis's death I figured we would continue to lose other constructs, in this episode Friday. I figure Edith is the one who gets the biggest amount of growth in the end... But I don't know to what end.

Madripoor leads me to think Sharon Carter as The Power Broker (picking up from Falcon and the Winter Soldier), but it feels so far out of left field. I just don't see that actually coming up in the next few episodes.

Also Ultron just seems gone now. Free to roam the Internet. I wonder what will bring him back.

Also I love Vision just pulling the Firewall lever. Just "I have to do this. Done."

    Regarding the lever: my husband was like, 'That's it? Shouldn't there be, like a piece of glass, or a key you need to turn? Huh.'

    This show is fun, but so uneven. And the writing is... bad.

    I particularly dislike the nihilism on display in Marvel these days.

    Tommy is criticizing Ultron for having killed a bunch of people in Sokovia when he was a kid, and I'm like... bruh; he just vaporized some poor lady in front of a crowd.

    Vision is like, 'Has he changed?' and I'm like, BRUH: he just used your body to murder a lady. Like... CASUALLY.

    Did she have a family? She looks like someone who had a family. For some reason, we the audience are supposed to apply to her death the weight of someone breaking a lamp.

    NGL: I'm kind of disturbed that the writers of this show seem to be exhibiting signs of psychopathy. And the producers are cool with all this? It's weird.
