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 …

I think the winter soldier/falcon show was supposed to go into this but suffered from massive last second rewrites.

Major storyline was supposed to be focused on a pandemic and was written before COVID

Mostly because Watchmen wasn't meant to be emulated The narrative roles of superheroes don't work in an unrecognizable earth and it would just be scifi or fantasy

I would throw out there that there's a certain historical logic to treating narratives that way, given the origins of comic books as we know them post WWII. After all, the world wars literally *ended* entire ways of life. And yet much of the planet kind of just... went on.

How much of the European and Asian population was killed? Whole empires were basically destroyed. An entire branch of Jewish culture effectively wiped out. Cities blasted. And ultimately, the changes were not *that* radical, for a lot of people.

If things didn't revert to the status quo, the world would quickly degenerate into a dystopian hellscape under the impact of annual alien invasions, reality inversions, demonic invasions and mad scientist doomsday device activations. It wouldn't be the same sort of entertainment.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw Infinity War. They kind of went too big and didn’t think it through. I realize I’m in the minority.
