I love superheroes. Based upon the abundance of superhero movies produced, I can assume three out of five people in the world do too. (If you are one of the two in your pew who does not, I appreciate your fortitude before the Hollywood blockbuster gauntlet.) But, I love superhero movies. The mindless preposterousness of the plot is part of the appeal; however, as I write this, it is three days before the release of the latest Marvel production and I cannot overlook that there is something profound at work in this one. The elements of its composition reveal the secular longing for divine salvation. The title: Infinity War The plot: “Thanos arrives on Earth to collect the Infinity Stones for a gauntlet that will allow him to bend reality to his will” (a quotation ripped from Wikipedia). The antagonist: Thanos. A name derived from Thanatos the Greek mythological personification of death The protagonists: Pretty much every superhero that Marvel has created “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable In other words, Death arrives on Earth to collect our sense of the infinite, can we use for it? which will allow him to bend reality to his will.
