should I watch Age of Ultron?

[lotesse]

peeps who've seen the movie, i would like your advice. I'm primarily invested in Tony, did not like the arc reactor elimination/mass suit destroy at the end of IM3 and so have not rewatched it at all, have not seen CATWS, dislike many current MCU Steve tropes, and also i will be upset about [things] happening to jarvis. i've spoiled myself pretty rigorously, but most of the reviews i've seen are either coming from Steve/Bucky fans upset about continuity or people who aren't in to Tony Stark's Endless Woobie Melodrama (secret: i tttly am tho). is there anything worth my going in for?

It's super muddled just what the hell he's doing. Like, I literally could not tell what was or wasn't a telepath who hates him planting deliberately bad ideas in his head. He makes Ultron and that was a bad idea, but then he gets a chance to destroy Ultron's superweapon and instead decides... to do the EXACT SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN?? And then it works? So like what did we learn here, what is the conclusion of Tony's character arc? It feels like instead of actually facing his moral culpability he's just like "well it didn't destroy the earth like it could have so eh whatever" except then he thinks about moving Pepper to a farm in the middle of nowhere?

It's just so absolutely muddled and weird.
