    I would agree that Age of Ultron is a decent film. For the record, I meant that Whedon flopped the multi-superhero juggling in the movie, not the movie itself. And while it's true that it suffered from having to set up future movie archs, so could have Civil War, which had at least just as many. Compare Thor's arc in AoU with both Spider-man and Black Panther in CW.
