The Avengers: The Culturist Christian Review

  byJohn K. Press, Ph.D.      @culturist

Here is the plot of ‘The Avengers: Infinity War.’  A demon is working to get all six infinity stones so that he might have the power  to kill half the universe’s population, making resources plentiful instead of scarce.  The dramatic tension comes from the stars “moral compass” and emotional attachments mandating that they will not exchange even one star’s life, in their efforts to stop the demon from killing billions of beings.

Of course, as a Christian, I am upset that the film takes an unnecessary swipe at Christianity.  At one point a character says, “What master do I serve?” Then he mockingly answers his own question, “What, am I supposed to say Jesus?” with a giggle.  As this didn’t forward the plot in any way I have no idea why it was inserted.  But, herein I will argue that the Avengers actually do serve Jesus. And, at the end I will list ways we can add to our Christian numbers. 

Part of the film’s mocking of Jesus is self-referential.  In a world of endless demons, flying beasts, and miracles, perhaps Jesus seems like just one more fictitious creation.  However, as Paul Elmer More (1864 – 1937) argued, in his “Skeptical Guide to Religion,” Jesus actually did walk the earth, and his witnesses actually converted a civilization.  This makes Jesus different than the Hulk or Thor.  So, while I wouldn’t believe in Captain America, there is no doubt  - it isn’t even a matter of belief – that Jesus existed.

Paul Elmer More made another beautiful pertinent observation.  In Buddhism, the soul is deconstructed: there is desire, and sight, and touch, but no coherent ‘me,’ no real soul.  Plato divided the soul into three parts: will, rationality and appetite.  But, Christianity, for the most part, sees the soul, the person, their identity and consciousness are one.  People, as souls really exist.   Saving these very real souls is why Jesus died.

The Avengers’ could have stopped the demon by killing a star (extras die without a tear).  But, like Jesus, they think that the individual is of ultimate value.  Muslims, Confucians and Buddhists not claim that the life of one person is sacred and so should overrule the safety of many.   And, because they would not sacrifice one person, they should admire God sacrificing his son to save billions.  This comparison  shows the Avengers to already be pseudo-Christian by coming from a Christian civilization.

Lastly, from a scientific, non-Christian point of view, the demon is right: He actually demonstrates that lower populations lead to a higher standard of living. He could easily be an environmentalist hero. Sacrificing people for material gains is very Marxist.  The Avengers being so opposed to mass murder in the name of life shows they value individual humans. Again, they are already soaking in Christian values. 

Culturists must remake Christianity’s image, if Jesus is to be taken up as a role model.  We must make Jesus so revered and tough, that people are afraid to take gratuitous swipes at him. Because Christians have made Jesus so wimpy that it doesn’t seem like he’d fit in an action film. Here are four ways to make the Avengers proud of their Christian identity.

1) When Charlemagne translated the New Testament for the Vikings, he made Jesus a warrior.  We need to take a second look at this translation, the Heliand.[i]  2) Christians need to reclaim connection with the Old Testament, wherein God orders his people to fight wars![ii]  3) The Crusades.  4) Revelations shows Jesus as a vengeful killer. The Marvel characters would follow Jesus as they presented him as the Avenger he was. This would greatly increase their power and the strength of Western Civilization.
