So Age Of Ultron is coming out on dvd/blue ray soon, and there's a lot of deleted scenes that reveal what could have been included. Whatever you think of Age Of Ultron, it's safe to say it's a brilliant (but flawed) film. I will be making a video for my channel entittled '10 changes that would make Age Of Ultron better' (likely something more modest) and I just wondered what you guys would take/add/change in the film to make it more like you wanted. Unless you all think it's perfect, in which case I'm alone on this one lol.

Changes I would make:

- Most importantly make Ultron lose the humor and be an AI hell bent on destroying the world. Sure, some of the jokes were good, but the pop-culture references and weird jokes just made Ultron a little more menacing. I'm not saying dark and terrifing, just a villain you hate. (For reference see the cybermen from Dr.Who or EMH Ultron)

- Slow down the begining. AoU is very clearly meant to be an Epic (huge, influencial and long film) but the men with the money wanted it cut down to popcorn flick size. Let whedon keep the original (or just longer) length, which would allow the intro hydra battle be slowed down. A little explanation on why the Avengers are back together, why Iron Man is out of retirment, or anything else for that manner. Slow it down, explain a little more, and everything would be a lot better.

- Add War Machine to the Avengers! Why is not part of them? Falcon is genuinely busy while machine is a genuine joke of the MCU. I get that screentime is hard to balance out so here is what I would suggest: War Machine is an avenger after hydra come out. He takes part in the snow battle and gets hawkeye out of danger when he gets injured. he is in the party scene, but after Ultron comes to life he goes to inform the US government on the situation, as well as protect the presendent. He is absent till the hellicarrier return and new avengers.

- Let Strucker survive (or just replace him with Zemo so he could be set up for civil war)

- Cut the pool scene. I'm sure there's better ways you could set up ragnarok and still keep an apearance from selvik.

- End with Cap and Iron Man at odds. It gives AoU a sence of place and gets everyone pumped for civil war.

- Explain the twins. 'Miricles' isn't enough of an explanation.

(and a final wildcard suggestion) - have Abomination! He is underused, still alive and in the hands of HYDRA. He could be a pawn of ultron, hydra, and plus he could make the hulkbuster scene a three-way-fight
