Ep 49: Do we Trade Lives? The Ethics of Infinity War

*** SPOILER WARNING ***
Even our show notes have spoilers
Is Cap’ right to claim “We don’t trade lives?” Could Thanos have
been stopped if our heroes made different choices? What role does
hubris play when heroes don’t want to make tough choices? And how
much of an idiot was Peter Quill?
In this episode, Jacob and Matthew dive deep into the questions
that came out of Avengers: Infinity War, exploring Thanos himself,
the various ways the Avengers tried to stop him, and our hopes for
where things go in the coming movies and tv shows.

Note- We recorded this episode live again, which led to a great
discussion, but also caused some sound issues. Jacob did a heroic
job cleaning things up, but we know it is still not up to our
normal standards. Please know we are aware of that, and and are
taking steps to ensure we return to our normal quality in upcoming
episodes.
