TL;DR: Marvel’s whole universe, though it may seem diverse, is extremely homogenous because it all comes down to the argument of cogito ergo valeo, humans have definitive proof of the afterlife and are welcome to it because they are capable of thought. The whole story: Hey, I wanna start this…
A warning before you start: this is a bit off-the-cuff and not well thought through. Also I didn't check for typos, and, like always, my use of commas and such is abysmal. Caveat emptor (as if you'd pay to read this)! I hold off on posting too many things in…
