and, watson-wise, it's made very clear that bucky was under pretty much total mind control for his entire tenure as the winter soldier there's no good argument to the effect that (watson-wise) he's Actually Responsibly for those murders

I mean "realistically" speaking nobody would actually care they'd scream for Bucky's head because they want a head on a pike, and/or the state would want him dead to keep things covered up. Justice has nothing to do with it any more than anything else RE: Supers.

Honestly, modern celebrity culture such as it is, and his Actually Saving The World Multiple Times, I feel like "captain america vouches for him and the US government disagrees" is probably a fairly credible premise for "and that's how the federal government dissolved"

Quite possibly, but ofc an implicit part of many supers narratives is that the masses are either venal or too dependent upon the status quo to be in favor of superheroes... See: Karli's vapid "that shield should be destroyed!" when it's the symbol of an org who SAVED EXISTENCE.

Like, there's just no version of the MCU where people not going "holy fucking shit the Avengers SAVED THE UNIVERSE, in a well-known event, and also brought back TRILLIONS OF LIVES," does not result in people like Karli being told to fuck off and die, w/o people being Bad.

Seriously, how has this young hothead with no loved ones and no professional fieldcraft not run her mouth somewhere about The People Who Literally Saved Existence and gotten her ass beat?

This is just comic book logic again No one talks about Thanos anymore really because that movie is over and we're moving on now even though it should be the only thing anyone ever talks about

Yeah - the weird thing is having the Blip be real and directly affecting everyone's life, but nobody's reacting to the people involved.

Most of the time, you just get what we got in Far From Home, which is occasional references or jokes about it, but beyond that, everything is back to normal.

This happens in comics ALL THE TIME, the US gets taken over by a supervillain and everyone gets put in camps for a week and then the heroes save everyone and we forget about it Everyone in New York temporarily gets powers from the Terrigen Mists and then they lose them again

They joke about this on Strong Female Protagonist, when she's just chatting with her mild mannered neighbor and randomly finds out he's one of the people the Puppeteer turned into a mass brainwashed army of zombies eight years ago

it was a solid runner in Catherine Tate's first episode on Doctor Who. "You don't remember the Sycorax last Christmas?" "I was a bit hungover that year"
