You must not run away unless you have seen "Thunderbolts*" and also "Neon Genesis Evangelion", then exit the robot, because there is heavy spoilers forward for both of them.

"Thunderbolts*" is one of the biggest surprises Marvel Studio has delivered for years. This is a team film, as we haven't seen them for a while, with a great focus on the dynamics of the characters, the humor that comes from those dynamics as "Guardians of the Galaxy"-a memorable and beloved losers forced to work together and save the day. It is a reminder of the best offered by the kinematic Universe "Marvel", and what this universe has made to last a long time Tim correspondence directly from the comics.

The film follows a group of mercenaries rejects powers that are considered handed over by their employer, so they decide to come together and take revenge before facing the destruction of the entire news. What makes this stand out even by team films is How emotional and mature "thunder*". These guys are not heroes and do not work together for greater good, but because it is the only way they can survive this gloomy world. To paraphrase the "lost" Starvala Matthew Fox, Jackec Shefard, if they can't live together, they will die on their own.

Then we have Bob (Louis Pulman), a seemingly ordinary friend without skills, but a lot of mental health problems. Unfortunately for, well, for all, Bob was subject to a procedure for a super soldier that turns it into The overlooked has been sentGiving his darker impulses to appear as a special person and to go to the city turning every person into a newuin in human shadows like those after the consequences of Hiroshima's atomic bombardment.

It is a creative way to have high stakes without making the infamous heavenly beam that was so prominent in the early films of superhero. And yet, instead of a great fight against the villain, to show the ability of the title of thunderstorms to work together and use their powers in synchronization, the culmination of "Thunder*" occupies a more introspective appearance in the middle of the widespread crippling. In essence, it is the end of "Neonian Genesis Evangelion".

Instead of struggling with the air in the air with fists and forces, falling through buildings and throwing laser rays around, the culmination of "Thunder*", and the fight against the seemingly invincible superpower is mostly a conversation in Bob's mind. Jelena (Florence Pug), acknowledging that Bob is in just as much pain as her, decides to let her turn her into a shadow, which she conveys to another dimension, seemingly in his mind. There, Jelena and Bob discuss mental health, trauma and the need to rely on the people around you to get out of the pit.

To have a great fight against the villain not only discussion, but essentially a session of therapy, is a brilliant choice and something directly from the masterpiece of Hideako Ano, "Neon Genesis Evangelion". That anime, which began as a pretty cool deconstruction and respect for Tokusasu and sword anime, quickly turned attention from the glossy, stunning struggles to become quite introspective. This went so far as to have the last two episodes of anime, completely within the protagonist Ginji Icari, as he thinks about the nature of existence, his sense of himself and whether he wants to live in this world. Remains One of the most controversial, polarizing and talking about the final in television historyRegardless of the medium. This was the creator Hideaki Ano working through his own depression, which resulted in an incredible personal finale of one of the best anime of all time and a way of hugging a nail polish in a way that felt epic but intimate.

Looking at "Thunderbolts*" drag a similarly introspective climax, where characters speak through their problems, rather than fighting each other meaningless, is one of the best things Marvel has done so far. All that was missing was a scene where the characters were standing around Bob saying "Congratulations!"

But what makes the climax work so good is that we are fully aware of the apocalypse that is happening. It is not only that we are in the mind of sentries because it works through its mental health problems, the fact that human instrumentality is going out.

You see, while Ginji had his mental breakdown and thought about whether he wanted to continue living, the outside world passes through Armageddon himself. In short, An apocalyptic manifestation called the third influence has begun in order to start human instrumentality -The Severe-Bibbled process where the souls of every living creature would turn into unique consciousness, freeing people of their insecurities, their shame, their shortcomings. We really don't see this in the Anime series, but in The alternative/complementary end of the "end of the Evangelion", where every person on earth is terrible and harshly turned into an orange tang -like liquid. That's the end that many fans thought they wanted to see it, the epic end of the world that is teasing in the anime, but we never had to see it because of the budget problems, but also much darker, buried, more nihilistic than anyone could expect. "The End of the Evangelion", when he looked at its own, separated from the exciting end of the anime, is one of the dearest (and also the best) anime films of all time.

Seeing Sentiri turns most of the city of Newoufor into shadows, revealing every human being as nothing, it deletes them from its existence, reminiscent of the third sequence of influence in the "end of the Evangelion". Neither the scene works on its own, nor an apocalyptic attack on newuork, nor an introspective session of therapy. Together, yet? It is an amazing way to stop the mainstream superhero movie. That in the middle of an apocalyptic event, the best idea of ​​the Thunderbolt to beat the villain is just to talk to him and help him work through his problems is much better than any fight could be. He also knows that the world is being destroyed in a terrible way as Shinji thinks about his life, and also whether to complete or save the world, making the story of "Evangelion" one of the greatest achievements of anime.
