12 Best MCU Disney+ Episodes So Far (According To IMDb)
4. What If... Ultron Won (What If...? - Ep 8) - 9.0
When Avengers: Age of Ultron was released back in 2015, it left fans somewhat underwhelmed. The story wasn’t at all like the comic arc, and the movie struggled to live up to the expectations set by the previous MCU movies. However, just one little detail changes all of that.
Ultron succeeding in making Vision’s eventual body his own allowed him the power to take over Earth, instantly murder Thanos and take the Infinity Stones, conquer the universe, and even set his eyes on the multiverse and the Watcher.
This was a threat never before seen in the MCU, a villain stronger than any other, and it was a simply stunning story. Natasha and Clint’s journey with Zola was as strong as any story in the series, but it was Ultron and the Watcher that stole the show.
Their battle throughout the multiverse was one of the greatest, and most unique action pieces in the entire franchise, and the cliffhanger ending before the finale was inspired. The only real negative was that James Spader didn’t return to voice the villainous robot, but that really is nitpicking at this stage.
