The best Marvel movie after Deadpool

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2018)

I consider Deadpool the best Marvel movie because it ironically exposes us to the fact that we enjoy watching fictional characters jump around, say stupid heroic lines and save people. It gives us the phylosophical questions: "Why can't we enjoy our current reality?" or "Is our reality/story more real than Deadpool's?" I think it is pretty obvious, we use these stories to create a non-religious (for most people lol, shoutout to geeks:) mythology. Altough nowadays Marvel movies have come closer to not taking things seriously, there's still some overly serious attitude involved in "saving" the world. Of course, the best part about this one is that it's underlying question is serious, and the dialog always tries to joke, just like in the comics, just like Deadpool. And the meaning behind this movie's story? It's probably the dilemma of the Christ and the anti-Christ. Thanos's motivation for destroying half the living population in the universe is purely economical: he wants the living to prosper, he deems a universe wide Holocaust necessary. All this, after gaining the highest power known in the universe, which means theoretically he could have found other solutions to his dilemma, but for some reason he seems to be set on being a lunatic. And here comes our dilemma: why is he so sure that killing people is the only solution? Which is never explained. On the hero side, they don't really get why Thanos is doing what he is doing either, and they don't really get to participate in a philosophical debate about the topic. The action is relentless, and the visuals are decent, so it works as the blockbuster they promoted it to be. I gave it 7/10 because the most important character's motivations (Thanos) remained only briefly explored. The cheesy lines remained low, but that's because they kept romantic lines to the minimum, otherwise it would have been really bad (why can't anyone write a normal romantic dialogue? adults should have adult dialogues, not be like Vision, who is an AI and rambles like a teenager). I particularly liked the ending, despite the fact that we know this is not the true ending to the story.
