I don’t take a position on Thanos here. One difference between Thanos and the Messiah is that Thanos is not the representation of an omniscient God. All I say is that Thanos thinks he is helping out, but his snap is portrayed by the filmmakers as being indiscriminate, and therefore mass murder.
Marvel assumes atheism here. It’s an atheistic movie designed to appeal to atheists, and from that perspective Thanos makes a pretty decent bad guy.
But as I mention in the essay, Messiah will come and some people are gonna get killed. But in that context, they’re only going to get killed on this earth. And as for the ultimate fate of all beings, only the truly evil will be gotten rid of. And TBH, I have a theory that the evil ones may leave reality voluntarily. Exercising their free will.
This will happen around the year 3,000. Hence, “I love you 3,000.”
Satan will have three choices.
1 - kneel before the king. 2 - go back into the void. 3 - merge with infinity.
I think he will choose to merge with infinity and be gone.
And, we will remember what he did when he was here, and we will freely choose not to walk in his footsteps.
