I guess you could say that even if your world never had covid, but...

Lol imagine if COVID-19 happened in the MCU but it happened during the post-Snap Blip

So like no one talks about it because for the survivors it was just another drop in the bucket of trauma and for the returned it's just another weird crazy thing they don't want to hear about

Infinity War takes place in 2018, Endgame takes place in 2023, technically they could've had COVID-19 happen right on schedule and take up most of 2020

I've been thinking about how funny (?) it is that the pandemic slots into the period between the snap and the blip in the MCU. What we see in Endgame suggests that mostly people spent that time sitting around feeling miserable (other than Hawkeye who took up serial murder.)

So, like, this tracks? That's sure most of what I did for the last year! (I 100% agree that NOTHING about civilization continuing and even having its shit together enough to put up monuments and stuff makes any real sense.)

I mean yeah what this actually demonstrates is how we all feel the same as the characters in the movie even though COVID-19 only killed 0.03% of our population (so far) It's ABSURD imagining we'd hold it together for 50%

(I felt like the apocalyptic tone of The Leftovers was fairly realistic for the scenario and that was a "Snap" of just 2% of the population)

One of the things The Leftovers gets and the MCU doesn't is how the arbitrariness of the disaster makes it worse. Some alien demigod snaps his finger and your wife vanishes. What drives people crazy isn't just loss, but knowing that they have zero control over it.

They could've gone in harder on how Hawkeye, like Carrie Coon's character from The Leftovers, is losing his shit because he's just unusually unlucky

He's *less* unusually unlucky than she is because the Snap is worse, a 50% chance rather than 2% But still, if you've got four immediate family members and you lose all four of them that's a 6.25% chance, which is pretty harsh
