...In a world where they have clearly very advanced automation technology? In any case, the infrastructure industry is not THAT large a portion of the population.

Also people who run infrastructure are highly skilled. You need a lot of training to run a normal power plant. How many people can run an Arc reactor power plant?

I mean given that Tony's been talking about popularizing it in the MCU it's apparently reasonably ubiquitous... Tony has to all appearances been pushing a soft Singularity on the world in the background of the MCU.

Well we've also seen how powerful they are. You don't actually need that many to power the world.

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.

I didn't really get that (I only watched it once, though). I'd've been more tolerant of Tony's "we can't erase the past 5 years" if I'd felt he was thinking about more than his uniquely happy family in the catskills.

Also unclear why"erase the past 5 years, but not the babies" wasn't an option. Since you can shape reality according to your whims.

I mean...if you are an enormous space dude with a neutron forged gauntlet... Otherwise you're mostly just getting vaporized I think. I seems implied that getting to do anything useful with the stones was part of the long odds at play.

Even for Thanos the effort of using the Gauntlet is highly traumatic and almost killed him, as with Bruce It's pretty easy to headcanon that the more complex the wish is the harder the backlash from the Gauntlet gets

(The center Infinity Stone on the palm that seems to matter the most is the Mind Stone, and I headcanon that this is because it's the computer that tries to translate abstract wishes into an actual plan of action, and it works harder the more complicated your vision is)
