Avengers: EMH 1.1/1.2 "Breakout" pts 1&2

i wonder if they will use the original Human Torch for Vision's body. an Invaders flashback episode would be good.
 
They did show the Ultrons getting destroyed left and right in the space battle. After all, how many did they start out with? A few hundred?

At the start of the entire war yea but it looked like only about a dozen or so on the attack on Kang's ship with only Ultron-5 left,who even if it hasn't been made clear is the Prime model of the Ultrons with the rest as copies of him.

I just re-watched it and notice that it looks like SHIELD will take over guarding the Negative Zone prison and will be using Kang's ship as a base like the Watchtower from Justice League Unlimited,plus I guess they and the Avengers will get serious upgrades to their equipment using Kang's technology.
 
i liked the ultrons as well.

does anyone know what the ultron was saying when he was in kang's computer? i just couldnt understand it.

i thought ultron 5 was destroyed by kang's goons? i know 2 ultrons were destroyed in that fight.
 
Praetor Shinzon, don't you think that avatar of Ultron you have makes him looks a little like a Cyberman?

As for Kang's own need for power subverting his better goals...well, having ONE point of nobility or sympathy doesn't mean he's NOT a villain...
 
Did they drop the Ultron being made out of Adamantium thing? Obviously hordes of them were being destroyed, but I remember that the main Ultron badguy was made from Adamantium when I read Secret Wars as a kid. The Human Torch could only K.O. him with a Nova blast that damaged some internal part without destroying his casing.
 
I'm pretty sure the original Ultrons that Pym made were not Adamantium, it was something Ultron did to his later bodies.
 
did they ever explain the origin of the asgardians?

how was thor able to deflect a weapon from the 41st century? his technology is older than iron man's.

i remember reading that his tech wasn't 'magic' but was just really advanced. like stark said in the first ep of the kang trilogy.

it just appears to be magic because it's so advanced. go back in time a hundred years and show somebody a television and they'd call it magic.
 
Well, according to the Marvel Wiki:

http://marvel.wikia.com/Asgardians
The Asgardians are a extra-dimensional race of beings who were worshiped by the Norsemen as Gods. Their origins are shrouded in myth, making it difficult to nail down the truth of all of the stories written about them.

I think the idea is they rely on extradimensional physics which is effectively magical by our reality's standards. For all intents and purposes, they're gods, but in a way that's sufficiently encoded as secular sci-fi to avoid offending religious people too badly. And of course mentioning religion in kids' TV is a no-no, so on the show they're only called "Asgardians" and never "gods." But Marvel's superhero Thor has always been intended to be the Thor of Norse mythology, not a namesake or imitator but the actual figure worshipped by the Norse before their conversion to Christianity.

IIRC, very early on he was just Don Blake given the powers of Thor. That changed pretty quickly. I think Stan and Jack figured there was more milege in him really being Thor.

Yep. Ultron did not begin to use adamantium until the creation of Ultron 6. Incidentally, I believe the first ever appearance of the term adamantium was in the description of Ultron 6's body.

oh, ok

really loving this show. it has the potential to be as epic as xmen of the early 90s
 
I'd say it already IS more epic. The 90s X-Men show tended to get pretty silly when it did big "epic" stuff like the Phoenix Saga.
 
Kang seems awfully weak for someone from 2,000 years in the future.

i guess i'm assuming civilization continued to increase at our present rate and not accounting for a 'dark age'.
 
^Well, there's no reason to assume a steady rate of progress. Over the grand sweep of history, it's been far more common for technology and culture to remain at a fairly stable equilibrium for most of the time, with periods of rapid innovation being the exception. We don't tend to realize that because we're in the middle of one of those exceptional periods and we assume our state of affairs is normal. There's no reason to assume a "dark age"; it's more credible that progress will eventually reach a plateau and the normal pattern of stability and slow progress will reassert itself.
