With the exception of Maria Hill ( Cobie Smulders), everyone main character, you’ve met before somewhere else, and while there’s room for growth, there should be some brief kind of attention, even if it wasn’t more than Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner) in a bucket spouting lines about liking Thor in Thor.

But again, as characters, they’re stuck in a movie where they’re sharing a lot of screentime and you can see the advantage of the original The Avengers is that it’s basically not introducing anyone new. It’s clear that Whedon feels more affinity for them, and he relishes Wanda’s power to mess with people’s minds. The Maximoff Twins present another problem with the movie. Age of Ultron could have easily devolved into just checking boxes, and instead it ends up as one of the most challenging and fulfilling movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe even though some of the scorn it received was inevitable. Being the middle chapter is tough enough, and writer-director Joss Whedon had to do in the framework of a cinematic universe where he had to service stories for Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America ( Chris Evans), Thor ( Chris Hemsworth), and all the other superheroes.
It was too soon for Thanos, but it also had to start setting up the big finale. Age of Ultron could only move the ball forward in certain ways.
Sequels almost always pale in comparison to the first film, and The Avengers was already a massive victory, not just at the box office, but as a cinematic accomplishment of culminating a cinematic universe. In some ways, Avengers: Age of Ultron was a no-win proposition.
