So we are clear

You know what I loved about Age of Ultron
The thing I liked best about Avengers 2 is Ultron's plan is really stupid. It is such a wonderfully over complicated pointless mess of a plan. This is like Cobra Commander levels of convoluted and complete mismanagement of resources. In other words its a super villain plot
Spoilers ahead, all the warning you get. After I processed the movie for abit I thought about his plan and realized all the more efficient ways he had to kill people. Bioengineered super virus or nerve gas are both well within his ability to make. If he couldn't get the launch codes for nukes there was still nothing stopping him from breaking into a place, physically taking them and having his drones fly them to the target. Then we get to his actual plan which again was pointless. The energy released from lifting up and slamming a huge chunk of earth into the planet is exactly the same as if you just detonated the fuel source on the ground. This might sound like nitpicking but actually I love this. His plan wasn't about the most economical or reliable method of murdering humanity. He just really wanted to smash an asteroid into the planet. Thats ok, thats how super villains should be. Because if they aren't like that then writers can't justify them having a volcano lair in the shape of their head and I don't want to live in a world where comic book villains dont have skull fortresses that weep lava
