Why People Loved Thanos

People don't like Thanos as much as they like Iron Man or Spider-Man or Captain America. But this doesn't mean they hate Thanos. Hell No!! After the Infinity War people went crazy for Thanos. Tough in the Endgame he died as a villain but the emotions of people were still tied to Thanos. But why? When we are a child, we are often presented good and bad as two different things.  Some things are good, some are bad. We are told to do good things, adopt good habits. Speaking the truth is good. Lying is bad. Reading is good. Playing with friends is bad. The problem is, when we are a kid, our mind can't conceive things deeply. We don't have enough mental faculty to investigate the truth. And that's why we are shown a clear distinction between things. This is right, this is wrong. Why how; these things don't bother us. If we introduce Thanos to a kid and tell him that he wants to kill half the population including the superheroes,  and if you tell him the reason wh...

The Real Strength of Captain America

"Hi Heroes! This is Stan Lee coming at you. I want you to know. Marvel has always been and always will be, a reflection of the world right outside our window." Fictional stories are not just meant to be in the pages of a book or in the scenes of a movie. Sometimes these stories resonate deeply with our own lives. And this is obvious too. After all, who writes these stories? Another human being, right? Next time when you read a fictional story or see a movie, try to also read about its author. You will realize how that story is influenced by the author's own experiences. We actually get to share the perception of the author in any story. While the Harry Potter series is a magic world, its also so much about the life and desires of J K Rowling. The movie characters are also influenced by real-life situations. Even the superheroes. When Batman appeared in comic books for the first time, America was going through the great depression. Urbanization was growing fast along wi...

Understanding Death -The Story of Mortal Beings

There is no incidence in my living memory which drew such global attention as the Covid19 pandemic. We have witnessed deaths of legends, endured many tragedies, and been through many long brutal conflicts in some places but the way the covid19, commonly known as coronavirus, has captured the world's collective consciousness is truly shocking. Everyone everywhere is talking about it because it concerns everybody and that because it threatens everybody. Otherwise, people die every year due to several reasons like Diarrhoea, obesity, accidents, and die in large numbers. For the last couple of months, the whole world seems to have come to halt. It all feels like we are watching a movie. Because we have seen such things happening in movies. Empty roads, dead cities, everyday life getting completely shut, emergency video conferencing of world leaders. We have seen such a crisis in many movies and we have seen it in different situations. Sometimes it's a natural disaster, sometimes...

The flaw in Thanos's Thinking - Villain Psychology

More than a million kangaroos are killed in Australia every year. Kangaroos breed so fast and get so large in number that they start to create problems. Competing for the livestock with other cattle, trespassing private farms of people, and sometimes even causing accidents on the road. In some places, because of severe drought, they even starve to death. To handle the situation, the Australian government has allowed officials, and in some cases, normal people to hunt down kangaroos. Thus every year more than a million kangaroos are killed by human beings. I mean, the situation of these kangaroos is not that different from the people of Titan. If you want to understand what goes inside the head of the mad Titan, if you want to understand his thinking and mentality, then you don't have to look farther than Homo sapiens on the planet Earth. Thanos believed death is necessary for life to thrive. It was his foundational belief. Life and death are like a yin yang. They balance each ...

The Problem of Boredom in our Life | Mars Mission

One of the challenging aspirations of humankind is to make itself a multi-planetary species. It's not for leisure. it is necessary. More than 99 percent of all species, that ever lived on this planet have been wiped out. Dinosaurs didn't survive. What are the odds that we will?  After all the progress we have made in human biology, astronomy, technology, we can't just be here and meet an inevitable extinct. We need to shift so that we can increase our chance of survival. We are not going gentle into that good night. We will rage against the dying of the light. For now, we are aiming for Mars. But it is easier said than done.  Mars doesn't have a habitable atmosphere. So, we first need to terraform it. And even before that, we first have to land on Mars. So far of our every attempt,  we have have been successful in a few, and every one of those was unmanned.  Because the risk is too high. There is a risk of radiation. Mars soil has toxicity. We don't even know a...

5 Psychological Life Lessons from Batman - Bruce Wayne

When we talk about a fictional character, be it a superhero, a normal person or even a villain, how influential that character is in your life depends on to what extent you can relate to it. Because if you don't relate to the character well, then all its qualities which inspire you, you will not try much to imbibe those qualities in your own life. That character will remain just an inspiration for you. You will never aspire to be like him. So the question is what type of characters aspire us? And how do we relate to them? Well, we don't relate to a character when we like their qualities or they have the same ambitions as us or when we are influenced by their power and strength. We relate to any character well when they have the same weaknesses as ours. When our mistakes are the same. When he is also as limited as we are. Because then you realize that he doesn't have any more advantage than you have. And only then we are able to form a strong connection with that chara...
