MCU: 12 Things You Learn Rewatching Avengers: Age Of Ultron

3. Vision Picking Up Mjolnir Is A Perfect Scene

Easily one of the film's most crowd-pleasing moments occurs just ahead of the final battle in Sokovia, with a newly-born Vision (Paul Bettany) proving his worthiness to the Avengers by effortlessly picking up Mjolnir mid-conversation.

For all of the movie's problems, this is a perfectly executed moment that builds on the party scene near the start of the movie, which subtly set up this awesome reveal.

It was also a smart, efficient way to cut through all the hand-wringing over whether Vision could be trusted or not, instantly establishing him as a vital ally. It's just a shame Whedon's writing wasn't quite so to-the-point for the rest of the movie.
