If Ultron was so smart...


How come he didn't put a copy of himself on a flash drive?

I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe there's something about being an individual entity with consciousness that made Ultron subconsciously not want to duplicate itself. Ultron doesn't want to stop being unique. It doesn't like the idea and maybe justified not doing it.

If that's not enough, perhaps Ultron recognized that a copy might wind up vying for power the way that its creation wound up being a bad move for the Avengers.

I would think there's too much memory for a flashdrive. Besides, he would still need someone to manually plug the flashdrive into a computer.

Keep in mind, he was trying to download his entire consciousness into the internet until Vision intervened.

Nowadays he could have downloaded himself in small pieces onto people's cell phones, with instructions to reassemble if he ever becomes deactivated....

Right, essentially what J.A.R.V.I.S. did, and he wasn't even at Ultron's level.

I understood what they were doing, though, by having Vision "burn Ultron out of the (Inter)net" -- it was a convenience, but a necessary one to make Ultron "killable"

I'd have preferred something less contrived but I honestly can't think of anything better


I also think Kang raises the exact same problem multiplied to the Nth degree -- how do you defeat a guy with infinite multiversal variants within the scope of a few movies?

Now that Majors is out, maybe it's best that the "Loki" series created a way to get rid of Kang already (the TVA being the one entity powerful enough to keep him and his variants where they belong)

It's the MCU, so it would have to be a Quicksilver drive.😎
