Infinity War, Why so obsessed?

in #life6 years ago

The Marvel fever is quite contagious and is that since the day of its premiere hit the box office, raising until now 547.8 million dollars, becoming the best superhero film of history, and that is because the Russo brothers build the best villain of the MCU, my favorite character on this story

Although three weeks have already passed since its premiere. Still, the world (including me) is obsessed with the movie. Now, I would like to express some personal appreciations about the film.

Why can not you stop thinking about the movie?

  • We are still in shock And yes, we expected to have to face the death of some avenger but we did not expect such a tragic end. The death of some of our favorite superheroes keeps us thinking about theories, what would happen next, how it happened and if there really is a way to reverse or solve the massacre that caused the Mad Titan.

  • Existentialism, get out of my head After leaving the movie theater, I was particularly seized by a slight Rick and Morty effect; which inevitably leads to certain existentialist thoughts and how matter , time and everything we know works, which has caused me to still think about the movie today, and encouraged me to want to read the comics.

  • Nostalgia for an end and emotion for a new beginning Infinity War is the culmination of a whole master sstorythat started with Iron Man, which will end in 2019 with the second part of the film * sic * and the possibility of seeing a new one emerge phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe fills us with excitement and expectation to know the new direction that the franchise will take, which again leads us to fantasize with the new characters that will bring to screen.

Thanos, the acclaimed villain

In this release we finally see Thanos in action, a character that gives a connection to reality stronger than it appears to the movie, introducing a problem that humanity leads since the existence of a society, inequality. When I began my studies in economics from the first class we were taught the reason for existing of that science, finite resources for infinite needs, and how it was necessary to manage those scarce resources to generate the greatest possible welfare, a fact that in the theory may sound Pretty easy, but in reality is the headache of world leaders, presidents, economists and even people like you and me.

Thanos can be considered as a visionary who tries to fight and solve the problem with a quite different and radical approach, who is also willing to sacrifice what he loves most (yes, the Mad Titan has feelings) to achieve his goal; it is inevitable not to generate empathy with a character who concentrates all his efforts in achieving his goal, which is framed in a transcendental objective. We would all like to have his determination to achieve our highest goals!

Also, let's be honest, after watching the movie at some point we wanted to have the Infinity Gauntlet and be able to disappear certain people with just a snap (in my case the list of people is very long); and is that the power that Thanos manages to accumulate is not equal to any seen before and such excess of power seduces any viewer. Or did you not feel some adrenaline in the scene in which destroys a whole moon?

Finally that has achieved its goal leaves us the hope of redemption, and that after disappearing the half of the universal population our villain notices that only has caused chaos and that humans fail to establish the balance in society, which would lead to Thanos to feel incomplete and say goodbye to the Infinity Gauntlet, although it is a very unlikely theory, it is always valid to fantasize, although surely the film takes a different course that forces Thanos to face the remaining superheroes for maybe, this time, be defeated .

Without a doubt, Marvel will continue to surprise us with the upcoming film deliveries, but it will not be until the release of the second part of Infinity War that we will be able to satisfy our need to know what will happen to the remaining Avengers and to know the future of the MCU.
