Moral philosophy at the movies: cool thing about actor Chris Evans is, he's best know for playing a duty-bound deontologist (Captain America), but he was even better as a brutally scope-sensitive utilitarian (Mace, in 'Sunshine', overcoming a colossal existential risk).pic.twitter.com/gNBifcuU5X

Love Sunshine for those themes. Rarely correct portrayal of intelligent ppl making hard decisions. Of course the ultimate deontology vs consequentialism movie is Watchmen.

Yes, Watchmen is a great litmus test -- the Rorschach-sympathizers vs. the Ozymandias-sympathizers.

Chris Evans was great in The Iceman, if you haven't seen it. Definitely not a moral character, that one.pic.twitter.com/APO0p7WNGp
