Just gonna say it... Uatu is in the wrong. He has 1 job, he swore an oath, and he knew there was accountability. His motivation was just boredom and being worn down by repetative events, which is the whole thing he is. Then the multiverse avengers recruit a multiverse threatening bad guy which should have gone terribly... But... It didn't because he was bored too? I am liking this season, but Uatu is objectively wrong and so are the heroes.

I think the Eminence had watched for so long he forgot his purpose, which is to ask the question, What If...? (Or obverse the unknown.)
When the episode opens we get Uatu's backstory and even he asks the question of why do they watch. The Eminence explains that only after watching will he understand.
In many ways the Eminence had the same problem as Infinity Ultron. Infinity Ultron destroyed everything, because with everything destroyed nothing would be in conflict and nothing would change. We hear Uatu say that the Eminence has seen everything, every version of events.
Except he hadn't. He hasn't seen the world's that Uatu changed. Those changes, those conflict, bothered him. And if course by the end he ends up in Strange's Universe. A Universe he's never been in. He, like Ultron, assumes death is the only answer.
The role of the Watcher is to watch, but it's also to know when to interfere. Just because something can happen doesn't mean it will. The role of the Watcher is to ensure what can happen, does. To ponder the question, What If...?
Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed.
Gods with infinite power vs. gods with infinite power. That’s boring to watch. There aren’t any real stakes or comprehensible limitations to it. And the good guys win because…. friendship? They believed in themselves?
The Watchers could have easily wiped out the mortal characters at any time during or before the episode. There was no reason for them not to kill them when they were capable of it. The Watchers also could have pulled their Living Tribunal power move at any time.
Captain Universe was cool, but fleeting. Stephen Strange the Universe could have just reconstituted a new Peggy Carter facsimile to the one that sacrificed herself. Ultron’s change of heart still seems unbelievable. I was hoping the other episodes of this season would tie in with the finale as the previous seasons did.
I agree that Infinity Ultron was underutilized.
A whole episode could have been devoted to finding an Infinity Ultron that more closely aligned with their views.
