At the end of episode 7, Ultron alongside his sentries came through the portal into "Party Thor's" universe. Where did Ultron go between episodes 7-9? Every other universe/planet he visited, he destroyed alongside all neighboring planets. There's something interesting to me about "Party Thor's" world. It seems no matter what happens it always works out for him and he has no true enemies. He always wins. He was more than holding his own even being outnumbered by the sentries. It was a cakewalk for him. I wonder if by some loop-hole Ultron left the planet because even with the infinity stones he could not defeat "Party Thor" nor destroy his universe?

It bugs me that this episode had references to an episode that didn't come out, but when it came to the big team-up portion, they ignored the zombie world and the "all the avengers get killed" world. The zombies are given a one-off appearance to briefly stall Ultron for a few seconds, but we get no follow-up on Zombie Thanos, or what happened to Peter.

[@universalallrounder]

Guys what I didn't understand is : 1) Does Ultron has mind stone on his armor or on the forehead of his body? 2)In episode 7 we saw Ultron coming to Thor universe and even watcher was shocked so it happened after episode 8 or before that itself. And in episode 9 we saw Thor fighting with Ultron robots but Ultron was no where to be seen in Thor Universe 3) When Killmonger took that armour, we saw only 5 stones (Mind stone wasn't there) so was it a mistake or something other?

10:32 Thanos has been the main villain of mcu for so long, that when ultron becomes the main villain, erik still said its thanos lol

I do think the soul stone scene is also a nod to GOTG 2 opening scene with baby Groot

I had never gotten a good luck at the zombies, but I knew I saw the shield. I thought it was zombie Bucky since he got the shield after beating cap. Must be a different zombie universe

What are some what if scenarios youd like to see in season 2? Personally for me, its "What if Wanda died in Sokovia instead of Pietro?"
