Avengers + Ex Machina

In science-fiction, artificial intelligence is always bad. Even when it's good. Whether it's an automaton with the powers of Google search and the drive for human extinction or an alluring lady-bot with a desire to see the world. Both Ultron and Ava are conscious of their creator, but they feel detached, resentful, even superior. They don't want to live as puppets or dolls on a shelf. They have innate, human desires to take control of their own lives. Unfortunately, and this is where sci-fi gets all deep, Ultron and Ava believe they must destroy their creator to live free.
