You'd almost certainly need to rewire/upgrade a whole lot, though. (turns out that most of my MCU fix-it unwritten fic daydreams are, sigh, about infrastructure. Occasionally boys kissing, more often Pepper Potts using Stark tech & SI to provide global clean water.)

That's kinda the implication of the conversations in Endgame, that the Avengers and Wakanda have spent the last five years or so rebuilding and replacing infrastructure, creating contacts between Earth and the rest of the cosmos, etc. Earth SHOULDN'T look anything like here.

And this is why Far From Home was always so absurd to me - it's trying to put the genie back in the bottle, and with F&WS and Wandavision they're seemingly making it EXPLICIT that organizations in MCU Earth are desperately trying to reverse such societal evolutions.

Which ends up being accidentally inspired, almost - all these forces of the American government and capital and corporate power desperately trying to reassert a "sensible" world that they control contrary to the reality all around them.

That's HOW you get the world that looks vaguely like Comics Earth, with superheroes and supervillains and powerful local communities and agency and supertech...all seething under & in opposition to a "normalcy" that works like ours despite no reason to do so.

I mean this is a literal SCP canon (a rather common one, even, on the site's many canons). The Foundation is perfectly aware that the world doesn't work anything like the conventional "normalcy" they uphold. They're ABSURDLY more advanced technologically & thaumaturgically.

The Foundation is full of sorcerers, scientists and historians who are totally aware of the actual shape of the world only having a vague correspondence to the norm - and interact with entire anomalous communities, even. They're just invested in perpetuating a comforting lie.

The more optimistic want to delay it until society is ready; the cynical just want to perpetuate the current norms forever, but in either case they are *aggressively* involved in the perpetuation of our illusory status quo bc the alternative would be culturally transformative.

(And SWORD in WandaVision is really really clearly just a reskinned Foundation Dating back to both orgs being linked to the general idea of the "Men in Black" in UFOlogy and the Men in Black movie from 1997 in particular)

Monica is like one of the Void Engineers in the Technocracy A more sympathetic and optimistic member of the Repressive Conspiracy Organization, who's more focused on exploring the wide world of wonder out there and less on the paranoid defense against it Hayward represents

Admittedly, it's easy to judge the O5 Council for their actions when you haven't lived through an XK-Class event yourself

Yea, it's not the best metaphor for reall world change. It's entirely reasonable to want to prevent the return of SCP 3125 it's ilk. IRL change isn't generally that destructive.
