I totally get the use of this particular movie's storyline in support of it's ability to in some way objectify our mission as lightbearers together in overcoming our separation and practicing Unity, with stunning results. I personally have watched almost every superhero movie, because I was weaned on Superman and Batman,etc. comic books as a young child growing up in the 50's and early 60's. By fifth grade, I was done with comics and moving on to other things, like James Bond!:) . But heh! when they came out with my favorite superheroes on the big screen and such incredible special effects, I was enthralled! I haven't seen the Avengers yet, and I may still do so, but I am leaning towards finally boycotting it personally, in order to be truer to my own God-Presence.
Ever since, oh, about the first Batman movie, I have noticed the increasingly dark and very "adult" feel to the superhero genre in general over the years. In "Iron Man", with Tony Stark coming across as a self-aggrandizing megalomaniac, and a gleeful war industrialist, as well as a blantant womanizer, I began to feel that a bright line of Light had been crossed. I felt out of alignment with my inner Being's guidance, though no word was spoken to me. I was simply being observed.
I have watched many movies since then, including superhero movies, that I knew innately were not of ascended consciousness quality, yet watched anyway. I discovered that it is hard not to watch them, when others around us suggest them and we see it as a way to bond with them rather than create disharmony. By refusing to watch them and setting ourselves upon some standard "above" them, we are guaranteed to get their negative attention. The other thing I noticed is that often times, even dark movies have given me some useful and uplifting insight into Life and our predicament.
