FILM - Marvel Avengers - Fate, Free Will & Causation

Published: Oct. 16, 2018, 7:30 p.m.

In this episode of Pic.Think: FILM, Sy & George review the Marvel Avengers movie. In the first segment, we warm up the conversation by considering which Marvel characters would make the cut on our personal roster of Avenger superheroes. In the second segment, we delve into the review of the film where we rank the Avengers instalments from most favourite to least, we choose our MVP Avenger and we discuss our preference in film direction between Joss Whedon and The Russo Brothers. In the third and final segment, we use a quote from the character Loki - "Freedom is life's greatest lie. Once you accept that in your heart, you will know peace" - in order to answer whether we believe in fate (fatalism), free will (libertarianism) or causation (determinism).
