Every time Thanos & "the snap" is alluded to in the MCU universe, I'm reminded that it makes no narrative sense. Such an even would be massively disruptive -- think of Covid times a million -- yet is treated as, "oh yeah, remember that freaky thing that happened?"https://twitter.com/pashulman/status/1464265944088338442 …

It's strange that nearly decades after Alan Moore did a superhero story where superheroes are actually transformative, the standard narrative arc is still catastrophe>heroic victory>return to status quo ante.

We see it a bit, with some of the heroes suffering screen-friendly depression. But yeah, it'd be far more world altering.

I think one of the problems there is the show that was supposed to focus on the disruption was going to use a storyline based on a pandemic to do it...

I hate to be Actually Guy, but Falcon and the Winter Soldier covered this. But yeah, it doesn’t show up in other MCU shows.
