IfAvengers: Age of Ultronis anything, its dense.
Theres a lot going on, and not everyone will have caught all of it.
Be careful if you havent seen the film, though spoilers obviously abound!
That was Ulysses Klaue, the Marvel cinematic universe version of Ulysses Klaw.
Klaw is a Black Panther villain in the comics a scientist who accidentally converts himself into living sound.
That guy is Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon, who was introduced inCaptain America: The Winter Soldier.
Again, this only makes sense if youve seenCaptain America: The Winter Soldier.
Its a reference to James Bucky Barnes, who disappeared at the end of that film.
The Scarlet Witch has a combination of telekinesis and some kind of super-powerful hypnosis, if not outright telepathy.
Its probably in their interests to be less specific than that.
At this point, its also quite vague.
Its a quirk of licensing that applies to him (and potentially the Scarlet Witch) only.
And thats exactly what has happened.
That thing he grabbed?
The empty Infinity Gauntlet.
So like he says: hes about to do it himself.
But maybe theres a story to be told.
It could be that its like the British crown jewels, so only the fake one is on display.
Thatd be a safe misdirection tactic, after all.
Whos going to go looking for something if they think its already in Odins trophy room?
If you watched theAgent Carterminiseries, you may know this already.
In the Marvel cinematic universe it appears much the same.
Nothing too complex here.
Makes sense, really.
It would seem to be.
But its not clear whether either of them has a Helicarrier.
Nothing more complicated than that.
Its dealt with early on.
Pepper running her company, Jane doing science work.
Also this way the actors dont use up any contractual obligations by appearing.
Its not because hes a robot its because hes worthy to.
Its an in-joke based on theArchiecomics that are popular in the US.
The lead character is constantly torn between two very different women Betty and Veronica.
The Hulks already got a Betty who can calm him down, so they built him another girlfriend Veronica.
This ones a little more ambiguous than it first seems.
So maybe they are glimpses of the future sometimes?
Essentially, most of the Avengers retire now that theyve got no immediate threat to clear out.
Cap and Widow stick around because, essentially, theyre both full-time superheroes with a new team to train.
Hopefully that sheds light on some parts of the film that mightve flown past you.
But is there anything we missed?
