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.

And the people who failed to stop it in some distant place just promise ummm it won't happen again probably we are looking for the guy and we'll try and kill him again or something when we find him. Knowing it could happen again at any moment how do you function.

Yeah I mean if you actually try to think about this seriously at all it makes absolute total sense someone like Hayward would want to shoot anyone with reality-warping magic powers the instant he becomes aware of them

They try to highlight it a little with his speech about "you people who blipped don't know what it was like", but then quickly back off. When really, that's a totally reasonable perspective. Of course he'd want to concentrate power in his hands, because the real heroes FAILED.

Yeah. Marvel touch very briefly on the concept that the heroes failed and that hurt them but then immediately pivot away from a real examination of that. The fact that they got a do-over doesn't retroactively undo the trauma. In fact it now makes all reality seem arbitrary!
