The ultimate dilemma of heroes

Vicenta 2022-03-21 09:01:08

In view of the long serialization time of the Marvel comic series, the characters and stories are constantly adjusted around the needs of the reader market, making it almost impossible to realize the overall concept of the story. Most of the arguments in this article are based only on the adapted Marvel movies. , Quote the comic settings and only select the parts that do not conflict with the movie.

The story of the film arrangement has made practical progress.

First of all, it is manifested in the upgrade of the enemy. The target of "Avengers 1" is monsters from another space (Loki's low combat power and low IQ make him a tool level). Although the difficulty of fighting increases due to the large number of these alien monsters, as long as Find a way to open the space entrance and throw them all back into outer space to temporarily keep the earth safe. The "enemy" level of "Avengers 2" is significantly higher, it is the artificial intelligence Ultron.

Ultron has no body. From the moment he has self-consciousness, he wants to know who he is and what mission he has. The order Ultron received is to protect world peace, so he began to analyze how to do it. In an instant, all the information he obtained from the Internet told him that with the efforts of human beings, no matter how powerful the body or the political power on the earth is, it cannot stop the fighting of human beings and protect this world from being destroyed. Although he appears as a villain in the movie, the three conclusions he draws cannot be refuted by human wisdom, but they can be explained in the gospel:

one. Humanity itself is the root of the disaster that destroys harmony. This started from the fall of mankind in the third chapter of the "Bible•Genesis". The lust and corruption of nature have been confirmed time and time again in history. Human beings cannot have true peace through their own efforts. This is human. Essentially determined, rather than a problem that can be solved by a specific hero's physical skills. Therefore, the enemy that the heroes face this time is actually an ultimate problem that they need to think about: the root problem of human beings cannot be solved by humans. What should we do at this time? Even if every hero is enhanced or transformed They, they are just humans.

two. The solution is to destroy mankind. Obviously, Ultron referred to God's flood judgment in the "Bible•Old Testament". But he overlooked one point: before the execution of the judgment, God calls the people who belong to Him to enter the ark to save lives and preach the gospel of salvation to more people, with the goal of giving everyone a chance to be saved. This is the fundamental difference between the thinking and mindset of the creator and creation. Ultron's powerful self-repair ability, continuous knowledge gained through the network cloud platform, and the ability to connect to any networked operating system in the world, are destined to be an undead enemy. Even if the Scarlet Witch grabbed his "heart", it just stopped the operation of this part of the machine. Does not destroy the terminal at all.

three. Altron envisions that only artificial intelligence machines will exist in the future. Here is the BUG, ​​Ultron is just the sum of human thoughts, and cannot surpass human wisdom. Even if the goal is achieved and AI continues to develop, it will only be a robot that repeats the mistakes of humans. "Students cannot be higher than their husbands; those who have completed their studies are just the same as their husbands." "Bible • Luke" 6:40 Ultron does

not only exist in a few robots, Ultron is a dilemma of human thought. The Age of Ultron is the era of infinite expansion without the flesh.

Iron Man Tony Stark is an independent weapon research and development expert who actively perfects his ideas. In almost every new movie where he appears, you can see that he has improved the defects of the previous generation of armor. But this time, he seemed to be smart and started making Ultron without thinking clearly. Tony envisioned Ultron's self-improvement to protect humans and play the role of the Avengers. But what is to protect humans from intrusion? What is the fundamental way to protect the world? Is there no stronger armor? "Iron Man 3" has shown that Tony knows that the world does not need stronger armor to solve problems. It’s just that Tony didn’t meet Jesus Christ and didn’t have an answer. Later, when Ultron broke into trouble, Tony was blamed by his teammates and blamed himself for “creating monsters”. In fact, this is not the case. Up.

Another aspect of the story that actually advances is manifested in the exhaustion of the Avengers heroes.
1. Iron Man Tony originally wanted to be Ultron so that he would no longer participate in the Avengers battle, and no longer rely on his own research and development of new armor, and wanted to do it once and for all.
2. Hulk is the strongest in combat, but before the transformation, Dr. Banner himself is shy and sensitive and loves peace. The destructive power of open battle only brings him a growing sense of shame and helplessness. So Tony invited him to make Ultron "once and forever", he agreed, and at the end of the film he ran away whenever he had a chance.
3. Hawkeye Bart has a family, children continue to add, and family responsibilities become the focus of his work as the Avengers.
4. The black widow Natasha herself was a killer trained in the Soviet Union during World War II. She was awakened by the Scarlet Witch. When she realized that she was even deprived of her ability to become pregnant because of the war, she only wanted to withdraw from all these incidents and hope to organize a family with Banner. .
5. Captain America Steve showed courage and sense of responsibility before the crisis. This allowed him to continue fighting and was willing to cultivate the second generation of Avengers, but these virtues could not provide a solution to the problem. This time Ultron is not facing death. The problem that can be solved by gritting the teeth and sacrifice, the Captain America's combat skills, born in 1941, are limited to hand-to-hand combat, and the combat effectiveness is even more limited. In the film, he said, "I used to be the most advanced reformer of my time." Yes, the problems of this generation are more acute, and they can no longer be solved by strengthening the body and high moral standards. Therefore, who often feels backward, he is more obsessed with finding Winter Soldiers, his only contemporaries in order to find approval.
6. Thor is a different species and has a lower sense of responsibility to humans. He could withdraw at any time, just to find his brother Loki and join him to clean up his mess.


All of the above shows that the heroes are exhausted and there is no fundamental solution to the disaster. The Scarlet Witch also exposed their inner worry and burden. All those who work hard and bear heavy burdens can come to me, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. As long as you are an individual, you need to meet your creator—God.

"Bible" records provide solutions that these heroes could not think of. Salvation can only come from God. Why is Jesus Christ coming? It is to solve the fundamental problem of mankind: to be self-centered and resist God's crimes. God Himself became the object of His salvation-the shape of human beings, for all the sins of all mankind throughout the ages, crucified alive on the cross in the most humiliating way, without luxury fighting, where the infinite God shed His blood , Anyone who receives his blood can be saved. And Jesus was resurrected, declaring that he has the authority to defeat sin and death!

At this point in the story, there is no other way except for Jesus Christ to appear on the scene. Even if the concept of multi-universe is introduced, it will only expand the battlefield. What infinite gems are there, and it is still necessary to explain who created it and what the purpose of creation is.

The new character Vision is not the savior either. Although he helped kill the temporarily existing Ultron carrier, the way he and Ultron gain knowledge is the same. Unless he understands that the gospel is the only way to save people, he has no answer. If he was really as high as the set IQ, he would know that even if Ultron was killed, there would be no peace.

Peace can only be possessed by people when they meet God again. "I made a covenant of life and peace with him, and I gave him these two things to make him fearful; he feared me and feared my name." "Bible Malachi" 2:5
" Only the wisdom from above is first clean, then peace" "Bible • James" 3:17


The gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to this ultimate question.
I wish every Marvel movie maker, Stan Lee, and movie viewers can meet God, receive the blood of Christ, be personally saved, and give others the true answer to life.
