And disappointing film. Don't get me wrong. I'll still watch the MCU. it's just that this film left a bad taste.

I've enjoyed the film much more on rewatches, but yeah, I don't think it'll ever match the trailer.
Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
I really liked the films, but I am getting increasingly wary of trailers. Mostly for spoilers - especially the weekend after the movie comes out. Those ones often show characters or events that would be way better if they were secrets before seeing the film.
I can't wait for the day when theatres are equipped with memory-wiping devices as you walk in.

Yeah, trailers these days do give away a lot. I guess it's the ritilin audience of today. This one I didn't avoid.

Everyone can remember the first time a big story twist in a movie or show almost made them *beep* their pants. Depending on your age, it might be finding out Bruce Willis was dead the whole time in The Sixth Sense, or that Darth Vader was Luke's father, or that Dorothy's trip to Oz was nothing but the result of a mescaline trip she was having. Those moments hit you like a barbed wire bat to the face precisely because of how carefully they were set up -- all the red herrings, the performances, the suspense, the music cues at the key moment.
Now imagine you'd learned about Luke's parentage by reading a snippet of leaked script on a movie blog. That's how it happens these days. We've perfected the art of obsessive analysis to the point where no twist can remain a secret for long. The sad irony is that those who claim to be the victims of excessive spoiling -- the megafans -- are more often than not the ones doing the spoiling.

So true. I got spoiled for Age of Ultron on the Deadpool boards. Some jackass started a thread on like 10 different boards complaining about how Quicksilver gets killed in Age of Ultron. With the spoiler in the thread title.
This was the day Age of Ultron came out too.
Ironically I feel I should put spoiler tags on it in this comment deep in a thread years after the film came out.

Another paragraph of note in that Cracked article was:
This behind-the-scenes detective work has put cast and crew in an awkward situation. They're now forced to either spoil their films, lie to the fans, or attempt a coy ambiguous answer that will undoubtedly be dissected and deciphered within the hour (Harington was forced to publicly lie to fans over and over again, saying he was returning only to play a corpse). For Star Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams wanted to keep it a secret what character Benedict Cumberbatch would be playing. Fans were positive that Cumberbatch was playing Khan, aka the only memorable villain in the franchise, then got strangely angry at Abrams for lying to them (that is, for not spoiling his own damned film). The exact same thing played out when the makers of The Dark Knight Rises tried in vain to hide the big villain twist (that Marion Cotillard['s Miranda Tate] was [actually] Talia al Ghul in disguise), forcing Cotillard to flatly insist she wasn't playing al Ghul, only for sites to energetically rebut her like a politician. ("She's been photographed wearing a very non-businesswoman costume ... in the midst of what seems to be a massive action scene.")

Thank you for your board etiquette.

In hindsight, I think all the trailers for this movie sucked hard. Ultron was way more menacing in the movie than he was in the trailers.
Uh oh spaghettios - Zack Snyder, David Ayer, Bryan Singer (2016)
While I admit Ultron wasn't as menacing as the trailer made him look, the movie was still awesome.
