The themes of Infinity War were straightforwardly liberal individualist and anti-collectivist. The extremes were Cap’s insistence on each individual life at any cost and Thanos’ complete disregard for individuals in favor of collective needs.
Also interesting that both BP and IW are deeply interested in probing the limits and logics of liberalism. Neither can find it wanting, but their gentle, affirming probes are part of the same spirit as the more violent reactions against liberalism on the left and right.

Interested too in how Chris Pratt indirectly served as a foil for Cap. Starlord is like Cap’s values applied less successfully than Cap himself.

Also I am excited for my precious baby spidey to lead half the squad in A4 alongside Chadwick, but NOT excited for Chris Pratt to show up again. Yuck.

DC is also supporting extremely progressive, liberal ideology: every life is important, we all need to work together, hatred toward another based on race or creed is evil. DC and Marvel are making very clearly political statements with their movies
