Have you read the comics? Nothing neolib there. He was literally trying to impress a deity. It was not because he believed in anything or because he had any political goals, opinions or intentions.
The movies were the moment when I genuinely gave up on them because to this day not a single character has called out the ridiculousness of killing poor people because of the negative consequences of capitalism (or whatever disbalanced power dynamic is present in the other worlds where there were the same issues at late-stage capitalism).
I have to admit, I don't see the movies as neo-lib, because that would imply an attempt at a political analysis or understanding. Which there isn't. It was even more obvious in the Falcon and the Winter soldier.

I am saying it's done so poorly, it's not even neolib.
