EP 173 - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (2015)

"NO STRINGS ON ME..." After the first Avengers movie changed the game forever, everyone wondered what the sequel had in store. Especially when it was revealed that instead of tackling Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet, the film would focus on fan-favorite villain Ultron while saving that story for the third film. While met with positive reactions and a similarly successful commercial run, the culmination of Phase 2 has become regarded as more of a bizarre buffer and prelude for Phase 3 rather than a strong story in its own right. Eleven years later, does that still ring true? Tune in to find out as Brian, Alec, Darby, and Trey continue Phase 2 of the MCUathon with the movie whose trailer tricked the masses, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON!
