Imagine how terrifying the snap was for the aliens on planet.

The snap affected people on a UNIVERSAL scale.

The earth had it easier than most planets because the people of earth knew what was happening, they had someone to blame.

Imagine you are an alien living 10 solar systems away from earth, you are just living life like every other day and you’re at home and your family just disappears.

You don’t know why they’re gone, the government can’t tell you, no one knows. it just happened randomly.

Then 5 human years later, your family just reappears with no explanation.

Also imagine if 5 human years is 500 years for another race. If you are the alien who got snapped, everyone you knew might be gone.

It's actually pretty annoying that they haven't shown how the snap affected other planets.

Helmasaur_2026-01-07 10:27

I was expecting that, especially when Captain Marvel mentioned that she was busy with other planets. Let us see other planets too!

riegspsych3252026-01-07 19:14

if the snap ever gets brought up again, it’s just going to be characters shrugging about it. Marvel probably doesn’t want to have to answer for it in every project, especially after 7 years. But they did kinda walk themselves into that situation. I wonder if it would have been better if they came up with some other solution to bring people back

But then again, this is a story concept that really starts to fall apart the more you think of it. Like what happened to people who were snapped in moving vehicles, sick in hospitals, imprisoned, or a domestic abuser reappeared, etc. At some point, you’d have to say “hey, it ain’t that kinda movie”

But I do think Marvel has been uneven in dealing with the fallout of the snap

Mythelm2026-01-07 21:18

I assume that the Infinity Stones spawned the snapped people back at the nearest safe location

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 11:13

Why would we need to when the principal heroes of the movie are on earth? Having Carol very busy elsewhere was enough.

SpicyAfrican2026-01-07 12:41

Yeah but it wasn’t really addressed in The Marvels, which was a huge missed opportunity.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 13:07

My first comment was way off topic because I got my threads mixed up. To respond correctly, it’s just not feasible for Marvel to spend years addressing the Snap in their solo films and such. They’d never move on otherwise.

GreenTunicKirk2026-01-07 13:52

I think the general consensus is that folks would have liked a limited series covering the consequences of the snap in some detail. The beginning of Endgame shows a very sad earth, exploring some of that through the lens of survivors would make for good television.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 14:06

General consensus of the more devoted fans, but Marvel still has to appeal to the wider audience with their content. Something they’ve been struggling with enough as it is. Most are content with the extent they touched on it in Far From Home, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and such. Realistically the world shouldn’t have been able to recover at all. So instead they gloss over the details to keep the world still somewhat similar to the real world.

GreenTunicKirk2026-01-07 15:32

Yes this is the subreddit for the MCU, so I'm talking about the general consensus \*here\*

lolzidop2026-01-07 16:50

And Marvel don't care about the consensus here. That's all there is to it. Marvel care about having as wide of a viewer base as possible, and that means the core fans who will watch no matter what aren't marketed to because they don't need to market to them. Not to mention any hope of the snaps impacts being studied closer going out of the window because of Covid, it hits a little too close too soon.

SpicyAfrican2026-01-07 15:38

But what did they spend years doing instead? A botched Kang storyline, several unpopular movies etc. I loved GOTG3 so that’s fine, but The Marvels could have been completely different. It’s already acknowledged that Carol was dealing with post-Snap impacts in Endgame so why didn’t we see what happened next instead of what we got? Hawkeye, which I liked, could have dealt with the rise in street level crime post-blip. In fact, a lot of the new generation could have been introduced in the wake of the blip and it would have been an organic way for them to get together.

The-ghost-of-life2026-01-07 11:41

They barely showed how it effected Earth...

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-07 12:52

I was just going to comment, they didn’t even show how it affected earth let alone other planets 😂 especially the after-effects of coming back.

SalemWolf2026-01-07 13:02

They totally missed out on a drama miniseries about the snap. The potential for good storytelling was there and they fumbled it. Then again that about sums up Marvel since Endgame.

Aerolithe_Lion2026-01-07 14:14

You believe marvel isn’t making enough Disney+ shows to undercut the movies?

curious_dead2026-01-07 14:41

There is a way to do shows that don't undermine the movies or that are required viewing. They fumbled the ball, here, even if some of the shows are great (Loki, WandaVision), it bloated the "main MCU". For instance, people who did not watch WandaVision must have been hella confused upon watching MoM.

Series doing things on their own like She-Hulk, Moonknight and Werewolf By Night were the way to go (notwithstanding individual shows' quality). That was the good format.

The Guardians Christmas Special was also a good use of characters in a TV special because the events of the shows aren't required for GotG3; it's not required viewing.

Introducing Ms Marvel and Photon in two different shows and then involving them in the main MCU narrative in The Marvels, for instance, was a mistake.

navjot942026-01-07 19:25

The pitch of their original show (pre Disney+) was kinda perfect. Maybe it’s lack of success what scared them from doing something similar. Just a 20-some episode series about SHIELD agents cleaning up messes after the movies.

SalemWolf2026-01-07 21:16

In a perfect world the MCU would be a tighter and more focused experience with side content available on D+ that enhances, but does not replace, the movie storylines.

I’m fully of the belief that the movies should be the only required viewing to get the complete story, and that D+ shows help or enhance the story but if you don’t watch them you don’t miss anything important.

A MCU series about the snap would fall into that same category. Unfortunately that’s not what happened and we have shows that are required, which undercut the movies as you said.

no-doomskrulling2026-01-07 13:49

Because if this actually happenend on Earth, it would leave massive power vaccums all over the world and the planet would slip into chaotic war for several years until everyone is snapped back, then repeat the choas to an even higher degree. Now add in alien planets with technologies and super beings that compete with Earth. The Avengers would not have the time or capacity to go after Thanos, because they would be too busy stopping WW3 and Intergalactic World War 1.

The Marvel writers came up with a truly universe destroying plotpoint that would just snowball into overly complicated scripts.

So instead, everyone on Earth was really sad for 5 years, and there is some minor terroism after everyone returns. Extremely unbelievable and kind of disspointing that as an audience we have to kind of ignore just HOW impactful the Thanos Snap was.

Diortheking2026-01-07 16:22

World damn near should of ended pilots in planes getting snapped people working at nuclear facilities and power plants randomly getting snapped

scottcmu2026-01-07 16:33

Surgeons in the middle of surgery, infants dropped by their mothers, children left at home when both their parents disappeared, dogs locked in remote houses, people tied to the bed during sex games.

Diortheking2026-01-07 16:51

Stoves left on from cooking, people on the highway getting snapped causing largest traffic jam ever, prison guards leaving criminals free to escape lotta shit tbh

cuckingfomputer2026-01-09 20:35

They did kinda show the traffic jam in Endgame. There's a scene where there's just hundreds of cars stuck unmoving in the flyover of New York before the camera transitions to Cap's support group.

DarthHM2026-01-07 18:47

They touch on this in the post credit scene with Fury and Hill. All the car crashes and the helicopters coming down.

James81xa2026-01-07 19:04

I mean yeah for all of like 20 seconds on a singular street in Manhattan... Hardly even a light graze

BartleBossy2026-01-07 16:55

> Because if this actually happenend on Earth, it would leave massive power vaccums all over the world and the planet would slip into chaotic war for several years until everyone is snapped back, then repeat the choas to an even higher degree.

Damn, that sounds like a very cool world to explore the morality of vigilantism, and "heros".

andreagory2026-01-07 11:56

Yeah, that’s one of the biggest missed opportunities. The Snap is way more horrifying off Earth, and we barely see any of it. Even a short scene or two showing another planet dealing with it would’ve added so much weight to how universal and traumatic it really was.

SpicyAfrican2026-01-07 12:44

I’ve said it before but the phase after Endgame should have been dealing with the consequences of the unsnap. FATWS addressed one of the implications but on quite a small scale. They acknowledge one of the implications, the displacement of millions of people, but did not address the gravity of it. Then you have that across the universe and it should have affected everyone. GOTG3, as much as I liked it, could have been about post-unsnap consequences in across space.

GreenTunicKirk2026-01-07 13:49

It was already an uphill battle with “woke” being dragged out as the insult to everything Marvel was working on in that era. Had they tried to tackle these issues cohesively, it would have all been tied to ongoing socio-political issues that were all dealing with. Mass migrations, regional skirmishes over resources, back door politics leading to revolutions and regime changes…

The pandemic showed the cracks in society and the snap is an excellent allegory to COVID. That survivors group that Steve is hosting at the beginning of Endgame looks a lot like various support groups that popped up. The realization that the people who were there to save us, to protect us… simply didn’t care enough? Not sure Disney has the stones for that.

Chocolate_cornflakes2026-01-07 15:43

I agree, Thunderbolts and F4FS, in my opinion, worked because instead of just creating another big bad villain, it explored something more human. I know both did not perform that well at the box office (consequence of releasing many mediocre films and shows back to back) but as a film, Thunderbolts and F4FS worked because of this. Both of them got the character interactions and its sparks right.

Sir__Will2026-01-09 00:29

> I’ve said it before but the phase after Endgame should have been dealing with the consequences of the unsnap.

That would get very repetitive if they all had to focus on that plot point. And keep highlighting the impossibility of it all. The Snap and Blip would be world ending catastrophes in reality (especially if it affect non-sentient life, we won't even go there).

Altruistic-Bluejay72026-01-07 13:17

Would have loved a Disney series about the blip. Each episode about a different family, couple, town, planet dealing with it. Doesn’t need any heroes in it. Just everyday people/aliens

navjot942026-01-07 19:28

Tales of the Snap. Anthology series focusing on different people during different time periods with each episode starting with “Day X” to signify how far into the five years we are. That would actually go so hard. Relatively low budget too.

Alarmed_Drop71622026-01-07 15:41

I appreciate you taking Captain Marvel’s side.

Shnicketyshnick2026-01-07 18:26

Those planets' film industries probably aren't making movies about how it affected Terra either.

phenomenomnom2026-01-07 20:59

Yes. Marvel put pathetically insufficient thought into portraying any of this.

A brief 20-second montage, a lamentation of various aliens and weird biologicals going "poof" at the beginning of Endgame would have elevated the whole enterprise.

Ending poignantly with some bizarre creature moaning in dismay in an empty cave, ash drifting around it

Segfreid_2026-01-07 10:27

This is basically the plot of the tv show The Leftovers

danwasoski2026-01-08 10:09

Thanks, genuinely, I’ve tried that show six times and every-time I get bogged down and don’t finish…. I guess 7th times a charm.

SilverSkinRam2026-01-08 14:50

It is one of those shows that they started with a good idea, but then had no idea what to do with it and it turns into a plot mess.

altiuscitiusfortius2026-01-09 08:24

I disagree hard.

Season 1 is based accurately on a great novel.

S2 and s3 came up with a way to extend the plot and change it radically each season and bring the show to a fantastic concludion.

Also the point of the show is not or why it happened. It's strictly examining the human reactions to what happened and the differences in how people react.

It's one of the best prestige tv shows of all time.

SilverSkinRam2026-01-09 12:08

I didn't care for it, but to each their own.

SkyDaddyCowPatty2026-01-09 18:39

I found it to be quite "mid", especially after season one. Meh

hiphoptopus2026-01-08 22:25

One of my favorite shows ever. Somehow, I've never met anyone else IRL who has watched it.

MArcherCD2026-01-09 01:34

There really should've been ***some*** property set in the Blip to address this

Personally, I would've loved a season of Hawkeye for every year of it, as he makes his way around the world, taking his revenge on the "unworthy" survivors

altiuscitiusfortius2026-01-09 08:26

Which came out way before the Marvel movies just fyi

MammothRabbit81882026-01-09 21:02

The leftovers is my favourite tv show of all time. S1 is an 8/10, S2 and 3 are 11/10. It’s also favourite series finale of all time. A total and utter masterpiece.

drguetz2026-01-07 10:29

I can buy the first part but most likely around some time later and thanks to ms marvel and a network of planets most planets would know eventually why that happened so the people returning back would just be happiness all around. Unless there’s a full unconnected planet like the ones where the ST federation does not ever what to interfere with. Btw the most similar thing to what you’re saying was actually a tv show from HBO, The Leftovers. Not half, but 2% of the people is bad enough already.

Jenkes_of_Wolverton2026-01-07 11:06

It'll not be happiness all round, because everywhere will have its equivalent version of the Flag Smashers - people like Karli Morganthau who gained a better life during the blip and don't want to give that up. People who have been going to bed with full bellies, because they don't know hunger.

drguetz2026-01-07 11:54

Well for sure, I mean the instant they appear, just happiness, you don’t right out think of the consequences

Darmok472026-01-07 16:52

Yeah, imagine being on one of those low tech, Prime Directive planets from Star Trek.

They'd have zero clue what was happening and probably build new religions around the snap and the return.

WildMongoose62062026-01-07 10:36

Yeah, that’s a terrifying way to think about it. For aliens far from Earth, the Snap would have been completely random and devastating, especially if time works differently for their species.

Buhos_En_Pantelones2026-01-07 19:10

Yes, you have successfully repeated what OP posted ; )

PoorLifeChoices8112026-01-07 11:01

Just another example to add to the list of things marvel completely skipped over that I would have LOVED to explore. I’ve said it a million times before and I’ll say it again, phase 4 should have been used to show the effects of the blip before and after (they kind of did but also not really)

Why they didn’t make a GOTG style series showing the effects of the blip on knowhere I will never know. Or literally even another Captain marvel movie since we hear her say in endgame that she’s been busy helping all these planets. I WANTED TO SEE THAT. Nobody in space knew what was happening on earth. At least the surviving avengers were able to tell the remaining humans about what happened, but the rest of the galaxy, hell the rest of the universe have no idea. Everyone just vanished with no explanation. Sure Carol could go around and spread the word but that’s ALOT of space to cover, and she likely never left the galaxy.

Marvel dropped the ball hard when it came to the blip. After endgame all they wanted to do was push it under the bed and move on from it forever when they shouldnt have. Nothing, not even the marvel universe with how wacky it is would recover as fast as it did post snap/blip. It’s like it never even happened. Everyone went back to normal like they didn’t just lose 5 years of their life. There should have been global wars fought, wars in space too.

Muddy02582026-01-07 23:51

I *really* wanted Captain Marvel 2 to be Carol flying around the galaxy dealing with the effects of the snap. Feel like it would have been a *super* easy way to turn her into a fan-favorite, just show her really struggling and trying to carry this huge weight on her shoulders, really break down her character and her brazen confidence.

But instead…

The Marvels sure was a movie that happened.

PoorLifeChoices8112026-01-07 23:59

I actually loved the Marvels. I just wish we also still got a Captain marvel 2 that covered the blip era

Muddy02582026-01-08 00:31

Hey, that’s great, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I definitely see the positives, and Kamala is amazing in it, but I personally don’t think it’s a movie that will make someone like Carol if they didn’t like her going into it.

CharacterOld86912026-01-07 11:07

What happened in Omnipotence City when the snap occurred?

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 11:15

The orgies were a bit less extravagant but otherwise the surviving gods likely didn’t give a shit.

Dangerous_Thing_32752026-01-07 13:24

Were The gods even affected?

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 13:26

That depends. Was it ever confirmed that any of the Asgardian refugees were erased? If so I’d imagine any of the gods could have been.

The_Celtic_Chemist2026-01-07 15:12

Thanos liked to act as though his endeavor to erase half of all life was a gift, but if he killed half of Asgard knowing he planned to snap half of all life away later, and if his snap included half of Asgard, then he was just being a dick.

Kiki_And_Horst2026-01-07 16:54

Given that Drax’s world had already been “balanced” by Ronan on Thanos’ behalf and Drax himself was blipped, Occam’s razor says that Asgard did get quartered for those five years.

tangential_quip2026-01-07 17:11

I don't think he would have included any of the planets, like Gamora's, that he visited before.

museedarsey2026-01-07 22:03

On what basis?

CaptHayfever2026-01-07 21:14

IIRC, the filmmakers did confirm that the snap quartered the Asgardians.

theknyte2026-01-07 14:36

If they are considered "living", then I would say yes, as Thanos's snap was to "Erase half of all living creatures from the universe."

tangential_quip2026-01-07 16:49

That is how it was verbalized, at its most basic level. But Thanos explains that isn't a goal in and of itself, it's a means to an end.

The stones aren't like a genie who you tell your wish to and who grants wishes based on its own interpretation of what is spoken. They carry out the intent of the person using them.

Given the overpopulation and overconsumption issues that Thanos gave as his reason for his actions there would be no real reason to include "gods."

Veggiemon2026-01-08 05:32

They keep infinity gems in a junk drawer at the TVA

Fresh_Opportunity3432026-01-08 01:36

I'd like to say that most gods have a prophesized death but in marvel this doesn't seem to be the case as is evident with Thor not dying in Ragnarok (this is usually why Thor can withstand anything because he has a set death which is Ragnarok so he will survive anything other than Ragnarok) so I'm guessing it all depends of the lore of the gods in the MCU. I'm assuming most cosmic entities would survive the snap as they aren't bound to the natural law of the universe

idiotplatypus2026-01-07 11:27

R Selected species: Oh No!

*two weeks later*

Anyways...

Antrikshy2026-01-08 03:27

I had to look this up and now I feel sufficiently nerdy.

For the lazy:

>r-selected species, species whose populations are governed by their biotic potential (maximum reproductive capacity, r).

>...

>The production of numerous small offspring followed by exponential population growth is the defining characteristic of r-selected species. They require short gestation periods, mature quickly (and thus require little or no parental care), and possess short life spans.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 11:32

The MCU has always largely been earth centric. In all these years of movies and shows we’ve really only ever explored the larger galaxy through Thor, the Guardians and Carol when the story naturally needed it. There’s probably a lot of cool things out there, but when your story is centered mainly around earth based human heroes what purpose would it serve to focus elsewhere?

It’s been indicated more than once how earth is a unique and special place in the galaxy, with how strongly Asgard protected it, how Ego only successfully bred a son with an earth woman, how multiple infinity stones wound up here naturally. Earth was the center of the convergence of the realms in Dark World. Earth was the favorite planet of multiple pantheons of gods. Earth was the origin of all of the most significant heroes outside of Thor, who alone stood up to Thanos and intimidated the Kree enough to keep them away. Earth was the planet whose Eternals stood up to Arishem. Earth is where Kang, the most significant person in the entire multiverse, originated from. His TVA was mainly staffed with humans from Earth. Even outside of 616 cosmic powers like Knull, Galactus, and the Phoenix force are drawn to Earth. It’s shown at times that the larger galactic civilization is aware of “Terra” but seem to avoid any direct contact, like we are some sort of primitive tribe in the Amazon rainforest.

For whatever reason, Earth is just an extremely special place in the grand scheme of things.

FatalWarGhost2026-01-07 17:40

I do gotta point out that yes, Starlord is from earth, but that first movie takes place in the Adromeda Galaxy, for some reason.

HermanThaGerman2026-01-08 17:57

>For whatever reason, Earth is just an extremely special place in the grand scheme of things.

Because it probably makes for a better read if the reader can relate.

I think that's also why Star Wars, set in a galaxy far away with a plethora of different alien species, still has most of their main characters as humans.

Sir__Will2026-01-09 00:25

> For whatever reason, Earth is just an extremely special place in the grand scheme of things.

And to think, the Celestials wanted to destroy it.

SpeedBlitzX2026-01-07 11:41

The snap is insane for a lot of reasons. Imagine if someone was on a plane mid-air somewhere when the snap happened.

Then, like when everyone returns, would those people on the flight fall into the water?

Would the earth be at the same point of rotation for those folks to be in that spot? (Like when Hulk did the snap to return everyone, it wasn't the 5th anniversary day of everyone disappearing. It seemed like it was any day. Hypothetically, Thanos's snap could have happened in summertime or spring, but when Hulk snapped everyone back, that could've been 5 years plus, right? Maybe even in Fall if not winter. )

Let's say even without the rotation talk. There's thousands of flights taking place worldwide at any given hour. If folks from flights got snapped along with everyone else. Where would they return to? Especially if they were on a flight that was flying over an ocean?

What about if anyone was underwater in a submarine?

I think its one of those things maybe I shouldn't overthink it but ive wondered about it for a while.

OnlineDipshit992026-01-07 12:12

This one was explained, they made sure that when Hulk snapped everyone would come back somewhere safe, meaning that people in planes/submarines etc wouldn't just reappear in the exact spot they were in when they disappeared.

BravoLeader30002026-01-07 12:32

I don't think that's the case. From what we saw from Monica's and Yelena's POV, people were snapped back to exactly where they were when they disappeared.

BarnOscarsson2026-01-07 14:11

Monica and Yelena were both in safe places when they were snapped. Seeing them return to those safe places doesn’t mean other people snapped from unsafe places (planes, boats, crosswalks, etc.) were returned to dangerous situations.

calbearlupe2026-01-07 12:04

Imagine the people that disappeared from an airplane and then reappeared in the air.

garbage19952026-01-07 12:07

No one knew, what was happening. The everyday earthling was as clueless as a Martian

redsyrus2026-01-07 12:18

Yes the Pyms didn’t know, Fury and Hill didn’t know. Yelena didn’t know.

hansuluthegrey2026-01-07 12:41

Most humans didnt know about it

LarryMahnken2026-01-07 13:23

Right, but afterwards the remaining Avengers were able to explain that Thanos had done this, they had fought him, they had lost, and that they couldn't undo it.

The rest of the universe... half of life turned to dust one day, and then five years later returned exactly as it had been, and they NEVER KNEW WHY IT HAPPENED.

serial_crusher2026-01-07 18:46

They were able to explain it to plenty of alien groups they're in regular contact with too though, i.e. the Novacorps. Word might have spread more slowly across the galaxy, but still would have spread.

LarryMahnken2026-01-08 00:55

It happened throughout the entire universe, though. The galaxy is NOTHING in the universe. Beings got snapped in places so far away that they will never even know our galaxy exists. All they know is that half of life disappeared one day, and all of it came back some time later, with zero explanation.

Pleasant-Answer-9182026-01-07 13:33

"The earth had it easier than most planets because the people of earth knew what was happening"

No....they didn't.

BudEJR2026-01-08 05:57

Ebony maw landing in NYC was televised, and everybody knew iron man left the planet, so I'm sure most people would've put the pieces together. Also, the avengers would've explained everything right after the snap too

RockAndStoner692026-01-07 14:20

Just imagine sad people, but they're like yellow

Altruistic-Wolf88232026-01-07 14:43

What intrigued me more is how would the power dynamics work.
Let's say you are a prime minister before you were snapped
Then you return back but there is new prime minister now.
Would you be willing to give up your position?
It would lead to so many riots everywhere

BartleBossy2026-01-07 16:54

Yep.

The worldbuilding failure that was not exploring the snap was such a miss.

We shouldnt have had the Multiverse Era following Endgame, we should have had the Snap Era.

Carinne892026-01-07 17:13

Glossing over or ignoring the colossal effects the snap would have had on society just on earth, much less elsewhere, as well as what happened bringing them all back right after everyone had adjusted, was one of the biggest failures marvel has ever written. Which is a high bar as is.

We get one or two lines to throw it off. It’s pathetic writing.

alkonium2026-01-07 17:47

Xandarians would have known, and they'd already have been hit hard when Thanos took the Power Stone.

Toiletbabycentipede2026-01-07 17:48

I’m not going to imagine it because not only is it irrelevant to the story, but the snap is also an incredibly stupid idea. Mostly because of the things you have listed.

navjot942026-01-07 19:32

This is probably preposterous but they should’ve sat on endgame for a few years after filming it. And given us stories set during the blip in the meantime.

Black Widow should’ve been a movie about Natasha dealing with the responsibility of running the Avengers during this time, and it reminding her of how she failed her sister all those years ago. Maybe she is distraught when she realizes her sister got dusted but then realizes Yelena was investigating some red room stuff and starts following those threads. Could’ve even incorporated Hawkeye/Ronin into this. Other projects could’ve also taken place during this time with minimal changes. And then after few years, they bring everyone back for Endgame.

rmdelecuona2026-01-08 07:17

It’d have been so interesting if it actually came out in 2023 (which felt so far away at the time…)

This would have been an excellent use of a mini series or two. Even if it was from characters outside of the Avengers POV. Like, Darcy, Agent Woo, Aunt May, or Scott's daughter Cassie. It seems Rocket and Nebula stayed on Earth during the Snap, but they could have dedicated one episode to what was happening outside of Earth. I know why Thor was as messed up as he was, but I think he'd try to help the other planets that used to be under Asgaardian protection, and maybe seeing how things were elsewhere it drove him to hide awya on Earth or something? Give us one episode of Rocket, Thor, Nebula, and Korg causing chaos trying to help. This time would have been SWORDS time to rise as "defenders of Earth" or whatever, gobble up a bunch of funding to build space stations with Stark designed weapons that the government seized because they aren't playing softball anymore. That kind of thing.

D+ should do a special presentation series of what life was like for the 5 years of the blip. Have it be through the eyes of the Watchers.

Earth is the only center of the universe, and when I say Earth, I mean America. And when I say America, I mean New York.

Idk man I feel pretty bad for any human who was tripping balls when the snap happened. Imagine you are casually chilling with your homie while you were watching 20 cats do the salsa & bam suddenly your friend just disintegrates in front of you, man that shit would fuck you up 🤯

>The earth had it easier than most planets because the people of earth knew what was happening

No they didn't lol.

Nick Fury didn't know what was happening with the snap.

They only figured it out later when the surviving Avengers told the world.

Even if earthlings knew why, how is that any less terrifying seeing half the world gone!?! "ooh ok, you explained it, I'm fine now"

That's how every human felt that day. They didn't know what happened until days later. You see that with Fury and Maria Hill and Clint... and those alien planets all likely learned about what happened from Captain Marvel spreading the word around as she visited other systems, so they knew of The Snap when the people returned five years later.
