I haven't seen DoFP yet, but I have to agree that Avengers 2 costume design is loads better. Per Wanda, I have my doubts. From statements made by the actress and the on set photos it seems they are kind of playing her up as some magical waif cloudcuckoolander. In the comics, yeah, Wanda has had her degree of mental instability and that would be cool for interpretations sake, but right now it is leaving a bad taste in the mouth.
That being said we are far off from anything more concrete on the project so I will reserve most judgement till then.

So apparently there was a leak of Vision's suit from someone who works at Sideshow Collectibles (the company that makes tons of figures for Marvel).
The image is being removed left and right because it gives a really good look at what the character is going to look like:

The trailer was supposed to premiere with Agents of SHIELD next week. It leaked tonight, so Marvel decided to officially release the trailer:

Jesus Christ, that was wonderful. The use of I've Got No Strings from Pinocchio is pure genius. The original scene is one of the more notable scenes from Pinocchio, as despite the truth of the lyrics (he is moving of his own accord), he is still being controlled by strings. In this case the physical and verbal intimidation of the show-master.
Ultron's monologue explains that he believes Humanity is constantly pulled in opposite directions because of the many strings controlling their lives, whereas he, as a cold thing of logic, is free of those conflicts. Instead of the original ironic statement of the song, then, Whedon transforms it in to hard truth. Ultron isn't the one being pulled by the strings. He's pulling the Avengers' strings.
"But now I'm free. There are no strings on me."

"Im going to show you something beautiful... everyone screaming. For mercy. You want to protect the world, but you dont want it to change. You're all puppets, tangled in strings! Strings... but now Im free. There are no strings on me." - Ultron.
Can we just talk about the fact that THIS is an EPIC villain trailer monologue? With the background vocals too its just... ungh!!!! I wasn't even that hype for this movie, but if THIS is what the MCU is doing with Ultron then Im kind of scared for the DCCU... BvS is going to have to have one hell of a villain if it wants to beat even just this trailer.
My top five villain trailer monologues/quotes as of now:
1- Ravenna's entire speech from the Snow White and the Huntsman trailer
2- 'Strings' by Ultron in THIS
3- 'Theres a storm coming' by Selena Kyle throughout the Dark Knight Rises trailers
4- "You did very well in the games Miss Everdeen, but they were games. Would you like to be in a real war? Imagine thousands of your people dead. Your loved ones... gone." by President Snow in the Catching Fire Trailer
5- "You are under arrest chancellor." "Are you threatening me master Jedi?" by Mace and Palpatine in the Revenge of the Sith trailer. I still get chills from that. Also, the 'Do what must be done' speech from that trailer.

It looks alright I guess?
The monologue is cool, I like what Spader is going for, but the effects and use of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch just aren't doing it for me. Some shots look great, others look like Transformers and the idea of the heroes fighting endless CG robots seems really boring to me.
So yeah, for me it's a couple of good shots, some good work from Ruffalo and some good work from Spader and the musical choice was good. First trailers have never really done it for me though, so judgement reserved and all that.
