Avengers: Age of Ultron Transformation Quotes

Tony Stark: I don’t want to hear the "man was not meant to meddle" medley. I see a suit of armor around the world. Bruce Banner: It sounds like a cold world, Tony. Tony Stark: I've seen colder. 

Tony's got some transformations of his own in mind. Ultron wants to wipe out nearly all of humanity in order to improve it, but Tony wants to put a technological force field around the world to prevent anything bad from ever happening. This would mean shutting folks down for just thinking about causing harm. Are either of these guys in the right?

Ultron: How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?

Good question, U., but "allowed" is getting a little loose with the language. Your plan to drop a meteor on everyone's heads is more about forcing humanity to evolve—overnight. That Ultron's got a noble goal in mind is part of what complicates his character. He wants to do good for humans, but he's not going about it in the right way.

Ultron: The human race will have every opportunity to improve. Pietro Maximoff: And if they don't? Ultron: Ask Noah.

Yeah, a steady rain for forty days and forty nights is certainly going to cause some transformations. Ultron figures if God could do it, so can he. In making that connection, he highlights the kind of power needed to make large-scale transformations happen quickly. And he also looks to be playing God. Not cool, Ultron.
