Ultron, the dangerous and by far deadliest of all the villains that nearly every Avenger team has fought. He was the product of Hank Pym and was created for good, until he gain sentience and become vastly smarter than Pym. Soon he became stronger and stronger with each upgrade he has made him more of threat each time. He's by far one of the coolest villains the Marvel universe has given us. He's a bad-ass version of brianiac, willing to dirty his hands and destroy all human life. Now how can he be translated from comic panel to the big screen. Now the idea of the mechanical threat has been time and time again but he would be the first mechanical threat that more than one hero has faced, especially he's much smarter than them. What I'm gonna try to do here is give a few points on bring this mechanized monster to the big screen I'm gonna break down the character by appearance, voice, motive, and articulation.



Lets begin with appearance. First off, Ultron in all his versions in the comics....looks silly. He looks like a medieval suit of armor with a funky looking helmet on it. This would look silly if done in a movie. So obviously changes would be needed to make him look more menacing. A good way of making the look threatening would be to make him more advance than most of the tech that's present in the Movieverse, like the image here. He has such defining look and his bulk look may give him an edge against the Hulk.

The voice is key for any villain. The mechanized threat has to have a voice that not only conveys evil but true villainy. His voice shouldn't be gravely or really robotic. It should sound like a a more sophisticated tone as Hal 9000 and yet the chilling manner of Darth Vader.

His motive is pretty obvious, He hates all humans and wants them dead. The Avengers want him dead, he sees them only as a threat to his only goal and ultimate achievement. So that's pretty basic. moving on....



Now, his articulation is an interesting point. He's obviously the most advanced creation so how does he move? How many points of movement will he possess? Will he be a clunky walk of the tin man or have the graceful movement of an EVA unit? I would like to see the latter to some degree.

And there you have it an Ultron I would love to see being brought to the big screen. Til next time. BlackAirs out!!!
