Avengers: Age of Ultron
Quicksilver ’s death inAvengers : Age of Ultronstill disappoints me , and Sony just made it a draw worse with its latestMarvelmovie , Kraven the Hunter . At this stop , Aaron Taylor - Johnson is a Marvel movie veteran after portraying three different Marvel character across the last 14 days . His debut as the eponymic vigilante inKick - Assremains the part with the most staying power , asKraven the Hunterhas heralded the demise of Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe and his part within it , while his debut as the MCU ’s Quicksilver was trim viciously short by his dying in the same movie .
While I ’m a huge devotee ofAvengers : Age of Ultron , I ’ll admit that it is probablythe unsound of the four Avengers moviesso far . What I can say with self-assurance , however , is that I much favour it toKraven the Hunter . Kraven ’s live - action origin storycertainly had some positive , but it suffer from a litany of incomprehensible minute that were hard to overlook . I ’m well aware that Kraven and Quicksilver are wildly unlike persona ( a testament to Taylor - Johnson ’s act gift ) , but I could n’t help being reminded of Pietro ’s MCU destruction when try out to wrap myhead around Kraven ’s superpowers .
Quicksilver’s Death In Avengers: Age Of Ultron Was Never Properly Explained
Fans Lament How A Speedster Was Killed By Bullets
I am one of many who were miffed byPietro Maximoff ’s decease inAvengers : Age of Ultron . MCU lead Kevin Feige and music director Joss Whedon apologize the move to kill off Pietro at the time as an intentional subversive activity of expectations . More importantly , it give up the message that Marvel ’s gods could shed blood , institute real stakes in Avengers movie by showing how comfortable it can be to kill one of them off despite their incredible power . That ’s on the button where many saw the trouble - Pietro ’s death was wanton . Far too easy .
Hawkeye goes on to name his son after Pietro following his sacrifice .
Quicksilver is a speedster who , in the space of the same moving-picture show , dodged a close - range shot from Klaue and emptied the gun of bullets in a twinkling . While Quicksilver ’s decease was a instant of self - sacrifice to lay aside Hawkeye and a child , it ’s insufferable to disregard how many other options Quicksilver could have pursue at that minute , including merely prompt Clint and the child out of the sack line of products . It also unceremoniously withdraw one ofthe most exciting new characters in the MCU , desolate his potency and forcing us all to wonder how he might have helped in future events .
Kraven The Hunter Makes The MCU’s Quicksilver Death Look Even Worse
Kraven Can Dodge Bullets
I ’m glad I could see Aaron Taylor - Johnson limn another iconic comic book character in live - action , but his debut as Kraven the Hunter only intensify the sting of his old persona . After inadvertently mixing the blood of a legendary lion with his own and ingesting a mystical potion , Kraven experience a litany of superpowers that admit superhuman strength , durability , and speed , among others . significantly , this neither makes him impervious to gunfire nor quick enough to hitch up to a speeding car - yethe repeatedly dodges bullets throughout the movie .
After nine year , Aaron Taylor - Johnson return to Marvel superhero fare , but while Kraven the Hunter has potential , it ’s a fair line story .
Again , I ’m not suggesting that Quicksilver ’s death was a acquirement issue on his part . He used himself as a human shield after acknowledge that his super - speed was the only thing that could save Hawkeye and the Sokovian child . Nevertheless , to see Aaron Taylor - Johnson ’s subsequent Marvel character dodge bullets with less effort than he involve to follow a speeding fomite feel like Sony is rubbing common salt in the injury . It makes little sense withinKraven the Hunter , but for fight back reason as to why the same could be sound out for Quicksilver .

How Marvel Can Fix Quicksilver’s Death Before MCU Phase 5 Ends
A Multiversal Variant Of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver Could Arise
I think the bad part of Quicksilver ’s death is that we never got to amply explore the MCU ’s rendition of the type . Now that Marvel Studios has reacquired sport , his end feels even more like squandered potential , as both he and his sister , Wanda , were originally sport in Marvel Comics - although this was later retconned in an unpopular move by Marvel Comics . I will concede that his expiry helped prop upWanda ’s character arc in the MCU , being one of many calamity to beset the Scarlet Witch before her play to villainy .
Should this befall , I fully expect Marvel to address the disceptation surround his death inAvengers : Age of Ultronas a nod to the audience .
Now that that arc has been completed , however , there is one clear way that Marvel can re-introduce Pietro to the MCU : as a multiversal chance variable . This could pass off alongside his sister , as many fans anticipate her restoration in some capability following her manifest death inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . The most potential home this could pass , of course , is inAvengers : DoomsdayorAvengers : Secret Wars . Should this happen , I fully expect Marvel to address the controversy surrounding his death inAvengers : Age of Ultronas a nod to the audience .
