Dat Infinity Glove

Ok, so if the stones are demonstrated to be sentient. Of -the greatest artifact in the universe- that certainly makes sense..

WHICH MEANS,  if the stones Didn't think culling half of all Lifeforms in the Universe was a good idea,  they wouldn't have allowed it,  just as how the Space-Stone banished Red Skull to be field guide to the Soul-Stone (Forever)...


So.. Clearly, that means, from the perspective of the Stones,   Thanos was doing the right thing ??

Then , the Oldest non-god character of MCU and the Greatest artifacts are in agreement.

Wouldn't it then be mere human-life-hubris to purport that WE (life itself) know better ??

Thanos and the stones were something that Jim Starlin dreamed up when he resurrected Captain Marvel in the early 1970s.

Steve Ditko created Dr Strange in the early 1960s and the Eye of Agamotto was never linked to anything else at the time.

Loki did not have a staff in the traditional comic days.

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I think on that level good and bad are relatively non-existent; more or less when you have that power your stance is more amoral than anything.

As for us; that's just natural instinct to survive. Definitely would make for a boring movie should they have just went, "Hm, well okay. Guess it's like a coin flip, good luck Thor!". Or interesting if it was done as viewing their last moments and the avengers going crazy trying to live their last day to the fullest.

Thanos represented a male phallus and the glove was clearly a manifestation of the stranglehold the patriarchy has on modern society. Disgusting.

The world doesn't work that way.


It's seeeemingly patriarchal because the politics involve mainly male figure-heads.

HOWEVER,  for everything males labor for,  his family eats..  So in the end there's no real ruler, and NO ONE is actually in control.

We may each occupy visibly divided roles, but all life is interconnected as the fabled leviathan.

You're sentient. If I strap you, hands and feet, to a pedal bike power generator and use that power to post pro-Trump memes does that make you pro-Trump?

Those Dwarven designs are part mysticism and part mechanism but they clearly wield immense strength. An axe head brought Thor back from the brink of death and was powerful enough to open a bifrost portal for 3 people.
