I love people, like you, who pontificate and denigrate modern society.

I bet you shout at the clouds when it rains also.

Life is not about controlling everything, but how you deal with what has been dealt to you.

You might learn that in these Marvel comics....the characters were created in the 1950s and 1960s by decent men who tried to teach that with great power comes great responsibility.

I read a lot of Marvel comics as a kid. I eventually got tired of the constant Marvel movies, and stopped watching after Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Endgame was such a talked about movie that my wife and I decided to play catch-up and see what we had missed. We watched all the ones we had missed on Blu-ray or digital copies and then went to see Endgame in a theater. I'm glad we did. While I did not love every film in the series, it was an over-all impressive achievement. The groundwork for what became the Infinity War storyline was laid quite a few movies ago. The final ending with Engame was intense and rather moving (aside from the gratuitous scene of the guy talking about his boyfriend).

All in all, it was an impressive achievement. It would have been impossible to do in the pre-CGI age.

I see you missed my point, indicated by the fact I agree with you. The originals were all morality plays, the modern knock offs are ignoring the depth of the original characters, and the flavors of their struggles with their personal weaknesses; batman’s and superman’s loss of parential figures for moral value, spiderman’s terminal nerdiness, green lanterns struggle of extreme power vs his inferiority complex. Classic coming of age morality plays.

Now instead of the mainstay, humility, and the struggle to develp good character,we end up having an egomaniacal cat fight in wide screen.

Is it a coincidental that the 50s Judeao Christian mindset being given over to the 60s free sex and if it feels good do it shift in Hollywood were the flavors of the day?
