Summary
As theMarvel Cinematic Universecontinues to expand , it repeats some storyline and not - so - honest decisiveness by its Hero of Alexandria , and it has now repeated a very dark Avengers decision twice in just six years . Over the course of action of more than 30 movie , the MCU has run into some truly tragic effect that have affected total countries , planets , and civilizations , and while these have mostly been the solution of a villain ’s legal action , this universe ’s heroes have also been require and even conduce ( often unintentionally ) to the suffering of 1000 of clean-handed the great unwashed .
Among themost criticized thing about the MCUis how the battles between heroes and villains often lead to destruction , disaster , and the deaths of innocent people , and the MCU ’s Cuban sandwich hardly ever face the consequences of this or show up to help . Now , the MCU seems to have a newfangled , dark obsessionand trend that has already been echo twice in just six years ( and across the Infinity Saga and the Multiverse Saga ) , and which is also challenging the idea of what a hero really is and the morality often attached to superheroes from any universe .
Both Thor & Captain Marvel Left People To Die
Thor & Captain Marvel saved some & left others to die
Two of the current Avengers have made the difficult and dark decision of go forth hoi polloi to die in orderliness to pull through as many as they could : Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) and Captain Marvel ( Brie Larson ) . InThor : Ragnarok , following Odin ’s death , Thor ’s then - unknown babe , Hela ( Cate Blanchett ) , was set devoid , and she returned with a architectural plan to take in power from Asgard and rule it to create an Asgardian Empire . However , when the people of Asgard refused to defer to her , Hela slaughter Odin ’s armies and enslaved the Asgardians , prompting Thor to take extreme measures .
take to leave thousands of Asgardians behind has been one of Thor ’s darkest decision , and the MCU repeated this with Captain Marvel inThe Marvels .
With Loki ’s ( Tom Hiddleston ) help , Surtur was released and Rägnarok was triggered , destroying Asgard and killing Hela . Thor , Loki , and Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson ) did their good to save as many Asgardians as they could , but many were left behind and killed when Asgard was destroyed . According to the TVA filing cabinet shown inLoki , Asgard ’s destruction killed almost 10,000 people , while those who were evacuated ( and survived Thanos ’ attack inAvengers : Infinity War ) spring New Asgard on Earth . deliver to impart thousands of Asgardians behind has been one of Thor ’s darkest determination , and the MCU repeated this with Captain Marvel inThe Marvels .
InThe Marvels , Captain Marvel , Kamala Khan ( Iman Vellani ) , and Monica Rambeau ( Teyonah Parris ) traveled to the Skrull refugee colony in Tarnax to save them from Dar - Benn , and they evacuated as many Skrulls as they could before the planet was destroyed by the Kree . The Skrulls were then take on to the planet Aladna for their prophylactic , but it was also attacked by the Kree . Although Aladna was n’t destroy , many Skrulls for sure died in the attack , and Captain Marvel had to depart them behind ( again ) so as to save the major planet .
These grim decisions taken by Thor and Captain Marvel have challenge the mind of what a superhero does and what their priority should be when saving any city , country , or major planet , and contradict the morality of “ nobody gets left behind ” that the consultation often links to superheroes .
The MCU Has A New Obsession With Hard Decisions
Thor & Captain Marvel aren’t the only ones
Although Thor and Captain Marvel have made similar gloomy decisions in recent year , they are n’t the only characters in the MCU who have move on dark path with their determination . Some case of this are He Who Remains , who clear kudos for rationalize branches when the TVA started , with Loki later questioning how it ’s potential to settle who survive and who dies ; Thanos adjudicate to pass over out one-half of life in the existence to “ bring balance ” to it;Doctor Strange regard killing America Chavezin order to save the multiverse from Scarlet Witch inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , and the Illuminati want to bolt down Strange to save up the universe .
The MCU now seems to have a new compulsion with toilsome and often dark decisions that can potentially have ruinous results , and while these add more drama to the heroes ’ storylines , they can also become tiring . Surely , as mentioned above , these hard decision gainsay the estimate of what a superhero is and does , which is n’t bad , butthe MCU tends to overdrive what works well once , and these hard decisions taken by the heroes peril becoming a jade resource in theMCU .
