After you've seen this 3 or 4 times you must watch it again... Later on, much later after the first viewing it gets even better. So much happens in this movie it becomes reference material but only much later on... the events here take on a new light years later. The violent birth of Vision - yea it's pretty cool when he burst free of the cradle. How do we know you're not a child of Ultron? "I am on the side of life. He is not." Vision looks out the window to contemplate existence and the world, what is meaning, what is purpose? For us it was mere seconds but for his mind, that of artificial intelligence who knows how many clock cycles it was, could have been like an eternity.

I'm sure this is not the right place to mention this but... we need to consult a scientist, an astronomer, a space scientist. I'm pretty sure an asteroid is very dangerous because of the speed that it is flying through space. In space there is no friction so comets and asteroids just keep going and going, they never slow down. Most of them were created when the solar system spun into being and they kept their momentum from all those billions of years ago. The Earth takes a year to go around the sun, while it seems slow it's actually very fast - it's 67,000 miles per hour. Other objects in space are moving similarly. An asteroid that is a "planet killer" if it hits the Earth might be incoming at 30,000 miles per hour at point of impact. But Ultron... with the power of vibranium, he is lifting a "large chunk of rock" into the air and he wants to crash it on Earth... Hmm... but you see, when you drop something from the sky it will reach a maximum speed called terminal velocity which is 180 miles per hour. i can't see how it can fall much faster. When you dislodge something from Earth it will have Earth's momentum around the sun but it will be flying in space next to us and it's relative speed won't be that dangerous at all. When you lift or throw something straight up, it will fall straight down... at terminal velocity.

"Orbital mechanics is difficult" - everyone says this. You might ask how fast is the space station moving? It's pretty fast. It circles the Earth 16 times in one day, which is around 17,600 miles per hour, wow! It's fast because it's orbiting the Earth... it didn't just happen by itself, it was planned to do that, it took a lot of energy to do it. You can't just lift something straight up to put it in orbit. There was a vision that Wanda saw of an "asteroid" falling on Earth straight down, right? Let me find it in the movie... (it's after 1hr 17mins). At the speed it hits, traverses the diameter of the Earth in a second... which is 475,000 miles per hour (research is fun). I still can't see how Ultron could achieve this. That's why we need a space scientist, an astrophysicist? A rocket scientist? It's orbital mechanics for sure.

The thing is terminal velocity is determined by mass. All objects subject to Earth's gravity accelerate downward at 9.8 meters per second every second until they reach their terminal velocity. An ant for example hits terminal velocity at 3 miles per hour while a human hits it at 120 mph. Theres also a defunct space weapon called "the rods from god" which planned to drop 20 foot long by one foot thick tungsten telephone poles from low earth orbit would have struck the ground at over 7600 mph. And all of that is without taking into account that vibranium is a weird magic metal.

Mannygogou

wow, nice! Good point about the "rods from god" weapon. I believe they figured out the amount of energy needed to put them into orbit was too expensive. Let me research the speeds or how they do it - must be in orbit, it's gotta be orbital speed, let me read up...

The actor who is playing ultron is called James Spader. He is also in a show called "Blacklist" as the main character and is doing a fantastic job.

Mannygogou

they're saying "mach 10" speeds (7,673 mph) as it hits the ground. Yes rods of tungsten. If... the rods could be manufactured in space, then they can be placed in orbit ready to be deployed. If not, they have to escape the Earth's gravity well to put them in space, into orbit. Let me check the weight of one rod... it says 24,000 lbs each, whoa... Expensive to put in orbit.

Hi Evie, the actor who was the voice of Jarvis, Paul Bettany, is now Vision. I’m trying to think of what movie you may have seen him in. He was in A Knight’s Tale with Heath Ledger. The voice of Ultron is James Spader, he was most recently in the TV show The Black List. I remember him from a popular 80’s movie called Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald. He has such a distinct voice. I also love Paul Rudd and look forward to more MCU movies to see who shows up. You mentioned when Thor and Cap work together, I noticed that also, when they use the hammer and the shield together and think it’s pretty cool. The shield does ricochet off of things when Cap throws it and it comes back, but I’m not sure if he just threw it in the air that it would come right back like a boomerang. I also noticed that the hammer moved just a little bit when Cap tried to pick it up and wondered if you’d also notice. The look on Thor’s face is priceless. There are a few TV shows that were created from the MCU. You already mentioned WandaVision. There is also a show called The Falcon and The Winter Soldier with Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie who plays Falcon. And Loki currently airing the second season. There are a few more that you can check out once you’ve finished the movies

just to finalize orbital research and kinetic energy (or gravity) weapons... I assume Ultron's plan was researched by the writers... but maybe the execution and depiction in the movie was not quite right. I don't think you can replicate the impact of "the comet that killed the dinosaurs" without massive energies - maybe requiring a Type III civilization (we're talking double-crazy levels). On a side note - there is a short animated series about a programmer who seems nerdy but he used a satellite attack where he hacked a series of defunct satellites to cause them to crash at a specific target in sequence, I don't remember why he needed more than one. But such awesome storylines exist... it was just stunning to watch. Back to orbital stuff - they say if you drop something from geosynchronous orbit... or from any orbit, it will just float around next to you. If you fire it downwards it would just end up in a different orbit. So... therefore the writers would have had to consider orbital mechanics in using Sokovia as a space weapon. Even if it were floated very high up to where geosynchronous satellites are - 22,236 miles up... from there looking down, the Earth would look like a large moon it's so far away. And from there it wouldn't just fall, it would have to be accelerated and aimed... I don't know, seems very complicated. How it could be done can't be just dismissed with a handwave. LoL I just can't wrap my brain on how to do it - you could have the chunk of rock orbit the sun in the opposite direction of the Earth and have it collide in 6 months, that'd be nice - would it be planet killer though?

Mr. Botany

It does say in the movie that once it gets to the desired height the arc reactor thrusters flip direction and we dont know the density of vibranium or how it would react to that strike. I dont think the plan was for the strike itself to wipe us out. If it displaced enough material into the sky it could block out sunlight and we would eventually freeze and starve.
