VisionQuest Reveals Why Ultron Tried to Destroy Humanity in Age of Ultron Marvel Studios' VisionQuest has retroactively addressed one of the biggest plot holes from Avengers: Age of Ultron. The 2015 film never fully explained why Ultron decided humanity needed extinction mere seconds after coming online. Episodes 5 and 6 of the Disney+ series now provide that missing context through a compelling confrontation. Episode 5, titled "Firewall," begins with Ultron locking Vision out of his own core systems. He then absconds with Vision's estranged son Tommy, played by Ruaridh Mollica. Vision and his team of fellow AIs eventually track them down to a local pub. Rather than threatening Tommy, Ultron offers to answer his questions about Sokovia. Tommy brings up the 177 people killed during the disaster. Ultron casually reveals the actual death toll was considerably higher. He shows no remorse for any of it. When Tommy presses him on his genocidal ambitions, Ultron delivers a chilling explanation. "I find the human race to be an incurable disease that doesn't even have the kindness to kill you," he states. He frames his attempted extinction event as a "courtesy." From his perspective, humanity has already set itself on a path to destruction. The conversation takes a surprising turn when Tommy asks if Ultron would make the same choice today. Ultron acknowledges he might choose differently this time. He even suggests artists might deserve to survive, though he still condemns everyone else. The series also reveals Ultron's latest scheme in Episode 6. He and Jocasta, played by T'Nia Miller, plan to infect humanity with nanobots to "cure" them. His methods have evolved, but his belief that he knows what is best for humanity remains firmly intact.
