      Actually in the end Jarvis didn't sound personlityless. I always thought that he spoke in a slightly sarcastic or maybe condescending way to Tony Stark … which was great because that showed that Tony Stark actually made an AI device that was worth something.

    Whoever told Paul Bettany his career was over is looking at Avengers, Solo and WandaVision swallowing his words.

    • @Notaweebiswear
      @Notaweebiswear 3 ปีที่แล้ว +56

      for real, if you contrast that episode to the age of Ultron, with Vision's birth, how calm and collected he was even when he flung himself towards Captain America. It really shows the capabilities of him as an actor, I was really taken aback by that argument scene. Very well done
