- Better Than Canon: It's safe to say a lot of fans prefer this movie over the comic it's based on, due to removing the widely-disliked anti-heroic, myopic and Jerkass behavior from the characters and realigning them closer to their traditional heroic portrayals, as well as cutting out the dated political commentary and undertones. It's telling that the Marvel Cinematic Universe adopted a similar approach.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Captain America and Black Widow become a romantic couple in this continuity, something that quite a large number of fans have been rooting for to happen in the MCU, especially with it teased throughout Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Sadly, as of Avengers: Endgame, that's not going to happen.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The Hulk struggling to lift Thor's hammer. Except this time, he actually succeeds.
- It's interesting to contrast the philosophy of Ultimate Avengers 2 with the philosophy of Ryan Coogler's Black Panther movie. UA2 argues that isolationism is bad for Wakanda because it prevents them from getting help from the outside world (i.e. the Avengers), whereas Coogler's film argues that Wakandan isolationism is bad for the rest of the world because it prevents Wakanda from helping said world.
- Memetic Mutation: Ever hear fans jokingly refer to Thor as "that chick with the hammer"? You can thank this movie for that.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Nolan North voices Giant Man in one of his earliest starring roles, just a year before his breakout role as Nathan Drake.
- Combined with Older Than They Think, it's here where Fred Tatasciore begins providing Hulk's voice. It wouldn't be until around the releases of Hulk Versus and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes where he started getting more recognition as the character's signature voice actor.
- Tear Jerker: Most scenes involving Bruce Banner.
- Giant Man's death in the sequel. Even though he has been a jerk for most of both movies, the fact he gave his life for Wasp and her sobbing over his body while the Avengers solemnly watch is nothing short of heartbreaking.
- The Woobie: Bruce Banner, for obvious reasons.
- Cap in the first movie.
- Jerkass Woobie: Giant Man
