whispers I like it too. If you squint you can occasionally see critical views of US military acting as world police, but then aliens arrive and you're forced to ignore it. I enjoy the focus on comedy that was set as a precedent by IM1.
Also, if you watch any of the MCU, The Boys becomes 10x more terrifying, hilarious and prescient.
On twitter this scene was being mocked (which I fully understand). It is a neoliberal/conservative wet dream. What is not commented on however is that this is at the beginning of the film. The film then shows by privatising military equipment and creating a 'nuclear deterrent' the beloved free market is compelled to catch up. Justin Hammer teams up with terrorists to create competing tech that can also be utilised negatively and be able to be used without government regulations and oversight. (similar to militias currently used overseas)
I love how they picked the dumbest way to square the circle.
The old, wants to bag a god of death is a more sesnable reason than malthusianism. Which, i have to deep down belive was a CIA gimmick to keep people from.realizkng that if the population stopped growing things could just get nicer alot easier.
But also, in tbe movie thanos was right. After they avengers snapped and doubbled the population eveyolace would have an immediate resource crisis.
But also, in the movie Thanos was right. After they avengers snapped and doubled the population everyplace would have an immediate resource crisis.
Only because he snapped them in the first place. But the main problem, and my biggest problem with the movie, is that instead of reverting everything to right before the snap they just, brought the people back into a world that's been without them for 5 years. And to the exact same spots too. People who were in an airplane would have just fell to their death after being brought back.
All because one guy had a daughter...
Edit: Oh and also somehow half of people on Earth disappearing didn't lead to major societal/governmental change. Everything just kept going as normal, but with less people.
In 2014 he was portrayed a lot more sadistically, but by 2018 he had mellowed out a lot and became the wise, old, calm, but evil dictator that crops up again and again in movies and books.
He was ultimately the protagonist of Infinity War, so it was in a lens more sympathetic to him.

Thanos did nothing wrong because thanos is fictional as were his(?) presumed victims
I have never watched a marvel film
