29. Ultron's Origin Sequence

When Ultron accidentally comes into existence and attacks JARVIS out of jealousy and rage, there's a CGI sequence that shows the villain's consciousness growing and learning its wayward "mission".

As his synapses fire and JARVIS attempts to reason with the growing malevolence there's a montage of clips building Ultron's experiences.

As well as images of human history and war, Joss Whedon has spliced in images taken from the MCU, including the iconic shot of Stark standing arms open at the start of Iron Man. Clearly this is supposed to signify how much Stark's flaws have bled into Ultron's psyche, explaining his imbalance.
