    Hey old and new viewers alike, I'm here the day after the news broke regarding Joss Whedon and Charisma Carpenter. Truth be told, I was planning on talking about the whole situation with Ray Fisher and Justice League as well as Kai Cole in another video regarding the discussion of separating the art from the artist as well as just the broader subject of acknowledging the work of a bad person.
    I've been stewing over this all day, trying to figure out what to do, because a large part of what I made this video on was me being a fan of Joss Whedon and all the research I did regarding his state of mind at this point in his career... but morally I don't know if what I discussed was even the truth. It was always conjecture... but I always prided myself in looking beyond the scene and into the artists behind the work. It's a large part of why this video is the way it was.
    As a fan of Whedon, I'm incredibly heartbroken and disgusted (I even had videos on Firefly and Much Ado About Nothing I wanted to do, as well as another video comparing how Whedon and the Russos molded the Avengers on screen, but for now... it just feels wrong...). As a content creator and a filmmaker, I feel so conflicted, because I want my videos to have a sense of empathy for the people behind them, but in light of what's happened, it shakes me to my core.
    So I decided to keep this video up, not only because it was such a huge video for me (and I'm not partnered anymore, so I'm not even making any money on this), but as an editor, I'm genuinely proud of this video and Whedon was not the only focus, but also the discussion of each writer and director taking to these characters like artists and writers on the comics they're based on. I WILL however be deleting a Joss Whedon video I had on my channel for years, because I don't want to celebrate a man who abused his power on and off set.
    This is an emotional reaction, I'll admit, and some may not agree with me on this. But when you look up to someone and are influenced by someone like I was with Joss Whedon, you feel almost a sense of betrayal. And I don't want to condone that behavior at all, nor do I want him to taint my work.
    Thanks for reading, see you in the next video.

      Look Josh Whedon was/is one of those A-Hole boss that alot of people have and had from the stories from Ray and Charisma. It's not like he sexually harass them, assaulted them, being r_cist, or a sexist pig at/in the workplace (that we know of). A comparable example, Gordon Ramasy the dude is a total tough a-hole boss and yet people still eat his food, buy his cook books, and watch his shows. Be weary when ever someone starts off saying "My Truth" ... because there is only "The Truth" ... My Truth is just another way of saying *my:* version//lie/narrative.

      @@knessing7681 If the stories about him making writers cry and bragging about it, or the stuff he said to Charisma, that goes beyond being an asshole boss to outright abuse. I've had asshole bosses, and as much as I didn't like their approach I knew there was a basic level of respect that meant I could put up with it. The shit Joss is accused of doesn't make him an asshole boss, it makes him a BAD boss. There is no way you're getting the best work from your writing team if you're making them cry every week, there is no way you are getting the best performance from your actors if they feel demeaned and belittled every time you talk to them. The fact that he couldn't be trusted to tone down his behavior with a teenage girl, to the point where he wasn't allowed to be alone with her without a buffer, is ludicrous and pathetic. A director's job is to direct people, a level of interpersonal communication skills and adaptability is integral.
      Also worth noting that Charisma and Ray Fisher are being backed up by a lot of their co-stars and Joss's writing staff. At the absolute very least, this paints a clear picture of Joss overstepping appropriate boundaries and levels of respect for his workers. There is no excuse for that, if he meant it in good fun and was somehow dense enough to not realize he'd gone to far when someone broke down crying, then he needs to profusely apologize. I say this as someone with a pretty mean sense of humor. I can be brutal with my teasing, but I know how to tone it down if the person isn't comfortable and if I go too far you'd better believe I apologize and do everything I can to make sure the person is okay with how hard I push going forward. A director who can't do that is hamstringing their project for their own ego.
      Gordon Ramsay plays up his persona for the camera, he is much less belligerent in the British versions of his shows. Even if he is an asshole when working in a kitchen, a high stress environment like a fine dining restaurant where seconds are the deciding factor between whether a dish turns out good, bad, or has to be restarted is very different from a television or movie set. Being a head chef warrants a level of strictness that is necessary for the restaurant to function, directing on a set where an entire day might be set aside for just one scene doesn't. In fact, it will often make the process even harder.
      If your standard for how much abuse a boss or public figure is allowed to get away with is how successful their business is, you are contributing to the problem. That attitude is exactly why Weinstein was able to get away with his bullshit for as long as he did.

    My favorite part about this scene is how it calls back to one of the earliest observations of Ultron:
    “Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create Avengers. People create... smaller people? Er... children! I lost the word there. Children. Designed to supplant them. To help them... end.”
    He spoke that with such lucidity... almost such that you would think he could avoid that fate himself... but no, instead, the lucidity of his words only expressed inevitability after all. Ultron’s “child” was Vision. He too created what he came to dread. He too created what he came to fear... That’s what Vision’s observation was a callback to... what that conversation as a whole calls back to...
    “You’re afraid.” “Of you?” “Of death. You’re the last one.” “You were supposed to be the last.”
    “Stark asked for a savior (got a monster, and then) settled for a slave.” “I suppose we are both disappointments.” “I suppose we are.”
    There’s a beautiful symmetric duality to it all

    I never truly got why I loved Ultron so much, something about him made me adore him while everyone kept saying ‘it isn’t the cold machine he is!’ and he was snarky and sarcastic (what did we expect out of stark industries haha) but now, now I get it now I get why I liked him and why I would have liked too see more; Ultron is the a villain turning human.
    We have so many cold analytical robots deciding humans are too chaotic to live or whatev and sure thats cool but here- here we have that same situation but with a small twist “What if it slowly started becoming human?” he humours himself, he slowly learns what frustration and loneliness is, fear, rage, confusion, is able to bond for a short second at ‘being a disappointment’ and slowly his ‘I have no strings’ gets better, a marionette trying to be a human and stop being just a marionette meanwhile we have ultron a machine that wishes to continue his program of ‘savior’ but slowly becomes human. I would have loved it if we got more of those moments to truly contrast the beginning monotonous and factual nature of his character to a more human, scared and reflective self, hell maybe a last small acknowledgement of ‘I’m truly the last me’ or heck a ‘and I am on my last string’ before ending (I AM JUST HAPPY I FINALLY GET WHY I LIKED HIM SO MUCH BUT COULDN’T PUT MY FINGER ON IT)

    I remember feeling bad for Ultron here. He’s so smart but he’s inexperienced. He has no parents, he’s not learned anything about the individual, only the people as a whole. Vision saying “I was born yesterday” kinda put it into perspective. Ultron is a child doing what he thinks is right and getting it all wrong, like a 4 year old bringing breakfast in bed to his parents and spilling milk all over the bed. Ultron had never experienced humility or discipline of any kind until that moment, he had his programming and never got to experience reinforcement. Who knows, with a little modification or a push in the right direction, he could have done great things.

I will warn you though, I think another way this kinda adds to Joss being broken by this film, you gotta compare this commentary with the first films commentary. In that one, he's full of life, loved everything and everyone, and was even cracking jokes. This one, he was so business and depression, it really breaks the heart, you could hear it in his voice. Just something to keep in mind if you're going to listen to it with the commentary. And with this film in particular, be sure to check out the deleted scenes. There was a lot more to Natasha and Bruce that justifies her later actions in the film.

    He pretty much caused The Avengers to be divided. And thus they lost in Infinity War.

    I never believed for even a second that this was the last of Ultron. I get that the MCU isn't the comics but the idea that he's backed up somewhere else just watching and waiting is such a huge piece of his character that it makes no sense otherwise. It also doesn't counteract the fact that he was removed from the internet. No mention of things that weren't networked at the time. Or, that he wasn't beamed into space. Or this or that. That said, it still doesn't negate the power and emotion in this scene. Ultron is still terrified of what's going to happen. Even if a piece of him survived somewhere else he'd have no way of knowing .

    Coming across this nearly two years late, it's easy for me to flip from Video Essay to Essay on a whim, as someone on youtube I doubt I'm alone, despite knowing fullwell the importance of runtime and how that can effect the creator. If I see something on the homepage that's flashy enough, I'd hate to admit it, my crow brain goes from one shiny well wrapped nothing to the next.
    Sir, this was packaged with tinfoil and duct tape, and I mean that in the most loving way possible. This essay, at first glance, felt identical to the start of every essay I've watched this week. Key word is at first glance. But somehow, some way, you managed to deliver something so profound, something that genuinely spoke to me through the screen, that this over caffeinated underpaid wannabe film maker sit completely still for double the video's runtime. Because I watched it twice. I watched it twice because the first time through I legitimately shed a tear.
    It's more than how the video was put together, and if someone hasn't already said it, I'm about to - the presentation of this video was a masterpiece start to finish. Scrap the tinfoil ductape metaphor from earlier, the use of music, the various clips and transitions throughout the video was a masterful display - and best of all it kept to the point. It never felt over the top or too little or distracted from the message, it was perfection. It was so damn perfect I was legitimately upset to find the music used wasn't in the description, right up to the point I saw it listed in the end credits. All there. This. is. perfect.
    But the actual message, the real message you delivered, it's clear just how sincere this video was. There's little more I can say about that because you've already set all your cards on the table with this one. Anyone that's seen this already knows exactly how much this meant to you when you wrote it. The kind of person you are, it's the kind that cares. It's refreshing beyond words to see someone deliver something so genuine, especially on a platform a little too oversaturated with flashy shiny repetitive junkfood for the ears.
    I hope you know how awesome your content is, how awesome you are.
    That being said, this comment's run on long enough. Gonna binge watch the rest of your content like it's water in a desert.

    AOU has a really high place amongst all the MCU Movies for me. It was my favourite for a long, long time because it's so dark and foreboding. There are scenes that are debatable but overall this film is way more serious than the others and i really like that. I also think that Vision doesn't get enough credit for bringing sense, sensibility and empathy into the movies while also being the most reasonable and logic of them all.
