Avengers (2015) Age of Ultron is a series movie based on the initial the Avengers (2012). Both are produced by Marvel Studios and written and directed by Joss Whedon. The latter part is a view of free hype and hope, where we are forced to have a good knowledge of the plot to enable us to dig deeper into the character, identity and personhood events in the movie. The movie is slightly more breathless, somehow more of a blockbuster. From the word go, it opens up on the little character flashes evolving from the set pieces and the combats.
The character identity of the original Avengers appear bright compared to Ultron’s machinations since in the latter, they are much woven into the film’s plot. Once the audience has the plot at close check it gets easy to see the ways that the Avengers’ personalities and the journey across the story unravel their character.
A string of similar character that rules the Avengers: Age of Ultron is the imminent self-doubt for every member of the team. At some point, other than Hawkeye, every other Avenger feels to be a monster. Though Thor says this dully, his Witch-inclined vision clearly displays him as one. Captain America also applies the monster character through the paragon of righteous hope. In the Avengers, the villains seem to lack a common personality and character to identify with other than evilness. One may think of it as uninteresting but shouldn’t be, it is precisely how they eventually act or behave in the movie.
According to Swanson (2010), one of the two character perspective is character perspective which says that personal identity stems from moral principles, characters, and behaviour related to how they think they are. He says that personhood is the key to our behaviour and with a strong identity one will have little no conflict between their idea of rights and that of what is ought to be done. How people in your group or how the environment influence the strength of your identity determines if you act or behave according to your character. This proposes the looming drama occurring within the Avenger team due to the monster conflicting character. Just like the Avengers team was divided into due to the knowledge that the S.H.I.E.L.D wants to use the tesseract to come up with weapons, this particular reflection also shows people’s different opinions will always be as a result of their personhood and so is their behaviour in the future.
As Swanson, (2010) says, a mixed outcome is expected from mixed personality. The general moral deed cannot be derived if a team cannot be identified with a similar or one character. Just like in Avengers (2012), both Loki and Thor are demanding, volatile but driven by conflicting objectives. At the end, the creativity and the team prove advantageous to help finish the battle and save the planet. Meeting with some dreary characters and relating with them in some weak identity leads to love, sometimes learning a lesson and also success in triumphing over the enemy.
On the other hand, in reference to Hulk and Black Widow, there is a stronger emotional connection between their characters. It is obvious that they care for each other. It is a totally different case than when we compare the instant fight between Hulk and Iron Man. On this case, Shelley (2015) argues that the relation between how an individual acts and their identity is characterization. This article seems to allude that the earlier experiences and future actions are all attributed to a person just because of where their character is characterized in terms of grouping. This means that it is easy to conclude on the ones behaviors based on their character and how their identity connect with others.
On another character, Loki seems unique and very multi-dimensional. One can identify him with a tragic casualty of circumstance character who was may not be far from being redeemed. In this part two of the movie, the Avengers identified Loki’s character as being a trickster capable of controlling the mind. In the first part, Loki is a dull villain. Just like in the previous movie, Loki and Thor still have the "Sibling Rivalry” that makes it obvious for a future conflict. Loki is getting more sensitively damaged, susceptible and even a more powerful character. This maybe suggesting a future behaviour of being the instigator of a plot against Thor.
In Avengers (2012) there was a scene Ultron caused damage and the question was whether Tony Stark and Bruce Banner may be-be held legally liable for the damage in Avengers (2015) now that we say that the man's future and behavior is as a result of their character identity and personhood. To be precise and by reality, this may not be the case since Ultron is a robot and therefore not a human. Computerized objects and robots regardless of their complexity are not legal entities possessing personhood to behold legal rights and responsibilities. This underlines the notion that there lacked a legal consequence since it involved robots. For a human, this behaviour and actions will be attributed to their personhood and character identity.
On a later scene, The Avengers fight among themselves as expected due to the fact that Stark in secret uploads J.A.R.V.I.S., still operational after escaping Ultron by hiding on the Internet by a synthetic body. Thor comes back to support activation of the body, saying that the gem on its brow, very powerful objects are part of his vision. This scene makes us wonder about what role the personhood and identity of a person play in their life. It is just an indication of what they will do to support what they thinks is right. This is also contemplated by Thanos who after being dissatisfied by the setbacks of his teammates personally vows to recover the Infinity Stones by himself.
In the end, having adopted a new base that is operated by Hill, Selvig, Cho, and Fury, the Avengers starts to recruit other new Avengers to carry on and bolster their efforts. This exercise is steered by Romanoff and Rogers. Thor eventually returns to Asgard to uncover more about what he thinks is the cause and drive of the events. Again, this is a sad moment for the two divided teams end and again start from. It is, however, an indication that the Avengers team will keep working as a team. Maybe, the movie intended to show that such setback life moments require character identities who can transform it into in life triumphant moments by still contemplating on success.
