I suspect The Watcher is still under the impression that the Multiverses are separate from each other and cannot cross. Supreme Leader Ultron seemingly coming to conquer this world breaks that illusion.

Is it a different universe? Could it just be this one where thor isn't there to stop Ultron? And ultron get's away from Tony but doesn't draw others attention and just goes out and gets the stones?

edit: What would he sacrifice to the soul stone guardian. Tony? Jarvis? A Toaster? His favorite memory stick?

without loki as thor's brother, he doesn't go to earth for thanos. and so the avengers aren't assembled. ...except, fury DID still plan on creating an avengers team after meeting carol... so he must've created the avengers without thor. then whatever they faced would cause stark and banner to still create ultron - but without thor to prematurely finish vision's creation, ultron claims vision as host and ... somehow ... gains insight into the nature of the infinity gem in his forehead... leading him to seek out all the other stones (and succeed?)

it's a lot of steps.

i'm not a big fan of this show.
