Drawing Parallels Between Age of Ultron and Avengers 2

My feed is ablaze with so much Avengers 2 (now called AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON) that I just needed to draw parallels between the event book "AGE OF ULTRON" and AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. Here are a few things.

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON director Joss Whedon was quick to point out that the movie is an origin story for Ultron. It's an origin story without Hank Pym. Now before you release the fanboy/ fangirl rage, it seemed like Whedon was choosing his words wisely. He never really said anything about the removal of Hank Pym (Ultron's creator) in the story but more on the lines of the would-be Ant-Man not being present in the second movie.

If you squint closer or lean closer, you might have also noticed that this is very similar to what occurred in the comic book written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Carlos Pacheco, Brandon Peterson, Bryan Hitch and Joe Quesada.

In this world, Ultron had won by going into the future, taking over the Vision from there and then wiping the floor with the rest of the world's superbeings and then getting taking over the world. The story has been notoriously looked down upon for being a 'forgettable' event book. But it does have a couple of shock factors.

One of the biggest shocks that AGE OF ULTRON (the book, has provided) was this:

Yes, in a nutshell, Wolverine and Invisible Woman travel to the past with the intention of murdering Hank Pym in order to stop Ultron from ever becoming, well, Ultron. Things go from bad to worse as they find out that a world without Hank Pym as an Avenger is even worse with IRON MAN taking over the world as it's top hero/ cop while Morgan Le Fey tries to conquer it. 

So what's the common factor? it's a movie or a world without Hank Pym. In a way it could be said that without Hank Pym aka Antman to help out (or cause in some cases) there's bound to be chaos. Pym is both the instigator and the unifier. Sadly Marvel Studios really plans to NOT show Pym in the movie set for release this coming 2015.

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens 2014 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Cobie Smulders and Clark Gregg. It's directed by Joss Whedon and will be released by Marvel Studios to be distributed locally by Walt Disney Studios Philippines.
