The marvel Cinematic Universe prides itself on its long form storytelling and connections. So isn't it weird that for five years, half of all life in the universe was GONE and no one mentions it? IN this video we break down all of the missed opportunities in the MCU.

#marvel #MCU #VideoEssay
The Snap was a complete shock, everything changed when Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out 50% of all life in the universe. The villain won, the heroes failed, and trillions of lives…just vanished in an instance.
For 5 years, there was no hope, no way to bring back the dusted.
How can anyone move past that?
The snap had devastating implications on every living being in the universe, it’s the sort of catastrophe that changes everything, forever.
But now, looking at the aftermath of the snap - and the blip for that matter- it all feels inconsequential.
In hindsight, this supposed universe altering event is a footnote on history, something the world has mostly moved on from pretty quickly.
Which completely diminishes the impact of the snap.
And this is a huge missed opportunity, Marvel should have done so much more with the snap and its implications on the world. The snap should have been a permanent change to the Marvel cinematic universe.
It’s kinda insane to me that the MCU is basically refusing to explore the 5 years in between the snap and the blip.
The snap has so much story potential, this is one of the most interesting time periods in the MCU. And not just on Earth, think about all the potential it had on countless civilizations in space.
So we need to take a serious look at the snap, why it’s such a big missed opportunity, and the story direction the MCU should have taken with it.
The snap is an event that happened everywhere, it affected everyone. We are talking about 50% of all life in the universe vanishing in a blink of an eye.
Just here on Earth, the snap means devastation in every possible way. Billions of lives were affected and ruined. People tend to focus on all the trillions of lives that were dusted. But it’s more than just sentient beings, we are talking about animals too, trees, plants, microbes, and even viruses that are essential for the existence of life as we know.
The world after the snap would feel the consequences for decades. The sense of normalcy and safety that people knew for so long is gone forever.
Things will never go back to how they used to.
We can’t even imagine how irreversible this event would change our way of life in every possible way.
I mean think about all the cultural damage, all the people who died for real in the aftermath of the snap. Like passengers on planes who’s pilots vanished. We are talking here about countless planes falling from the sky, killing the passengers and the people on the ground.
Or all the babies that fell on the floor because their moms disappeared. Ok, fuck, that one is way too dark. Yeah, let’s not talk about that.
All of those people died for real, they didn’t not come back after the blip. And don’t even get me started about all of the people that probably died after trillions of lives suddenly reappeared.
This is something that needed to be touched on.
The world we see at the start of Endgame is a grim one.
We see that people are in pain, unable to move forward with their lives. Drowning with grief and misery.
There is garbade and abandoned cars piling in desolate streets. Overgrown buildings indicating the devastating cost of Thanos’ actions.
Also this dog, now that I see this dog…. that’s sad, man. Poor poppy, waiting for its owner, no idea of what is happening or if it will ever see its owner again.
But as depressing as this abandoned dog is, the movie doesn’t even come close to fully capturing the devastating scope the snap should have had on the world, and the rest of the universe.
For starters, there doesn’t seem to be an everlasting change that happened in those 5 years since the snap.
We don’t know much about that span of time. But World War 3 didn’t start, civilization didn’t collapse, and society didn’t devolve into a Mad Max wasteland.

Please be a marvel or dc script writer
Still hoping for a breakdown of DC's League of Super Pets hosted exclusively by Doug (who better to break down a movie featuring dogs than a dog?) It would be a "missed opportunity" to not have Doug give us a breakdown of that movie.
L Scam
You truly have the biggest brain out of us all
How dare you remind me of Jurassic Bark 😭
Seriously though, love this take. Even if they still skipped over the five years, we should see the fallout more than mugs and ice cream shops.
Imagine if we waited 5 years for Endgame just like in universe and the released movies with half the universe snapped in those 5 years. Would be crazy
That would've been phenomenal, and excruciating 😆
LOL, that would've been interesting. They could at least have made a other movies in between, like introduce the Fantastic 4 or any other property.
@@noktin they also could have done an Avengers: Aftermath movie where they kill Thanos like they did in endgame but you don't get the time heist, it's a completely different plot that doesn't involve Thanos and you just get a full movie that details everything that happened after the snap. that plus a few more solo movies that take place during the 5 year snap and then do an Endgame. that would have been awesome.
But, guuuuuys we got the most important movie, Captain Marvel!
Technically, they could still do it if they wanted...
If Andor has taught us anything, it's that there is a way to dive deep into things that have happened in the past of a shared universe and make it work. Fingers crossed that it's part of the plan to come back at some point, introduce new characters and tell some compelling stories during this time frame.
Doubt it. None of the current shows or movies ever mention the blip unless it is absolutely important to the plot. Otherwise it's like it never happened.
I like that you brought up Andor as that is my thinking, too. I real deep dive into the time of the snap with the same gravitas that Andor has would be awesome.
Yeah, and it would have precedence in Marvel, too. The 2015 Secret Wars storyline was followed by an 8-month time skip that slowly got explored in a handful of books that filled readers in on some of those details.
I think after the pandemic, the snap and it’s consequences felt a little too real for Disney to double down on a bunch of people suddenly dying and the world going through radical changes. I really wish there was more snap content but I think the timing was just too unfortunate :/
Yeah... the timing really would hit too close to home in a negative way.
It's funny how the first comment I get is about what I wanted to comment
That's probably why Falcon Winter Soldier fell flat, cos them fighting over vaccines would've too close. Imo they should have used real life to emotionally develop story, but I get it would be very controversial.
People IRL needed something to take their mind off what was happening in the world. Doubling down in the snap would have been a bad idea
I wish they had done at least a tribute video connecting the real world events with movie scenes of anarchy kind of like a life imitates art and art imitates life idea, it would've kept things lighthearted while also acknowledging that the characters are going through the same things as we are but they persist and so can we, could've used the gravestone scene when ant man comes back to pay homage to all those we lost in the pandemic
The snap would be a perfect time for ground level characters (superheroes and villains) to have their stories explored as one could only imagine what anarchy was going on then and whoever had the courage to stand up to this devastation. Phase 4 would’ve been a perfect time to explore this and any show in phase 5 doing this would make little sense as they’re moving to Kang and his significance on the multiverse.
They should've had a ronin show or even a special presentation of Scott lang in the quantum realm after the snap im sure he did see something down there but literally never says a word about it and they should make extended cuts of movies I think that's a huge mistake by marvel
Exactly!!! That would be the perfect time to build up new characters. We’d instantly love them
@@kjswensen63 Im pretty sure he says in endgame that it felt like only 5 minutes inside the quantum realm, which is why he was so confused that 5 years had passed.
Y'all gotta stop making so much damn sense, it's making me sad about this phase and all the terrible movies/shows...
@@eskitv1509 he said five hours
Imagine if phase 4 was all about the 5 years between infinity war and endgame, then phase 4 ended with endgame
Yeah, this was what I expected out of all the Phase 4 tv shows. Finally long form storytelling to flesh out the Snap.
Interesting perspective, I agreed that the snap became less serious when seeing it become a name of a ice cream place. Also I liked the theory of the snap being the cause of x gene. 🙂👍
After the snap, I thought that Sakovia would split into 2 different countries, with the other calling itself Latveria…and during Phase 4 we would get the rise of Doom, happening in the background…I also thought Namor would show up much sooner…his people would’ve suffered from the snap as well and he would come to the surface looking for answers…
that would have made a lot more sense.
Namor coulda got snapped..
If you remember Captain Marvel was alive after the snap they could go into her story a little bit more what she did during the snap
I'd feel that the snap would be a perfect time to introduce some street level heroes and villains, Like DD and Kingpin. I mean, the world should be in chaos after-snap, so street villains will definitely spawns up taking their chances which should be countered by street level heroes
I find it really unrealistic that the world just somehow managed to move on from the snap after 5 years and not completely descend into anarchy
It's realistic, it's incredibly how humanity can keep going on no matter what happens and how irreparable the damage can be
Just imagine the looting, the financial disruption, hell the sheer number of highway speed car wrecks that would have happened. The roads would have been unpassable for a long time.
To be fair, a recent real life example is the pandemic. Most of the world has moved on from the pandemic (even though the pandemic hasn't ended)
I feel like we also forget about political leaders. imagine the most powerful person in a nation and about half of their party disappearing. that leaves so much room for radical change for the other parties
Would it have been “anarchy” or more localized governments or mafia structures?
This is one of the best videos you’ve ever done if not THE BEST! I totally agree. With you five years is enough to put several movies centered in that time.
I totally agree I been saying the snap shoulda set up all the stories of stage 4. It makes no sense to act like it was just a thing that happened.
I didn’t really mind Far from home tackling the repercussions of the snap in a somewhat comedic take because teenagers were at the forefront of that movie, but as for the other projects of Phase 4, yeah they shoulda handled the repercussions of the snap way better
A visual explanation for what happened in between that five year time skip (like a Disney+ show) woulda been great
I applaud your commentary on this topic. It truly would have been wonderful to explore a post-snap world and universe for the creation of heros and villians.
Reading about Ryan Coogler's original script for Wakanda Forever seems like it would've went further into the ramifications and emotions post snap more than most of the Phase 4 content
He kind of went into it a bit but tbh they put way too much of a burden on Coogler to tell multiple stories in one movie Dr Strange and all these other movies never addressed a single moment
Alternative timeline: Thor is Buff and serious, and isn’t a laughing stock like he is in the main timeline. He also is a emotional, but Grieving, king. And after the Avenger’s ask him for help he of course says yes wanting to help undo the damage done by thanos. But first he prepares him and his army for battle. Then out of nowhere Ghost rider appears through a portal to aid the avengers and kill thanos in the final battle during endgame. Would’ve liked it better this way Tbh.
Because most of us DONT GIVE A FUCK about what he was doing. HELL we know what he was doing. Seeking revenge like he did in the comics.
@@sundancevandezande57 well I do. Sheesh
@@XJY-O7 I agree especially seeing how Hawkeye got involved with Kingpin
@@XJY-O7 They showed us what he was doing. Lmao. He was ronin and killing criminals. Not really much they need to tell.
@@sundancevandezande57 Know what? I change my mind. You were right
Treated as a joke in Love & Thunder was my last straw. That’s when I knew Phase 4 was bad. Not every movie needed to be a downer but let’s at least process some feelings. I think Covid made them shy about addressing existential nightmares… when it should’ve done the opposite.
Absolutely that could’ve brought upon incredible story lines & villains! What happened in those five years I am intrigued
Well Kingpin did rise back up to power during the Blip
They're literally exploring the years between the snaps with each movie after that. Every movie after it had a consequence of the snap, including the Disney+ shows Like Falcon and Winter Soldier all the way up to the most recent Wakanda Forever.
But... not really. Endgame is the only time we really got a look. But after that, yes, the years between the Snap and the Blip are brought up, but they're given little more than lip service. We know far more about the time since the Blip, than before.
I haven't seen Wakanda Forever yet, so maybe it delves deeper into that time, but if it does then it's an exception.
@@khandimahn9687
Falcon and Winter Soldier was literally all about the consequences of the Blip/snap.
Wandavision was the result of Wanda dealing with the snap and losing The Vision,
Black Widow dealt with What happened with Black Widow in between the snap
Spiderman addressed some of the consequences of the snap and what happened when people/students suddenly reappeared the same age they were when they were snapped.
Hawkeve was all about fixing what he did when he became Ronen after losing his family to the snap.
The Loki series is dealing with the consequences of the Avengers messing with time to fix what happened after the snap, causing the OG Loki to be pruned leading to the Kang/Antman movies which will touch on it even more.
Secret wars will be about what was happening during the snap and how the Skrulls came and infiltrated earth. SWORD series will address the snap.
How much more do they have to do, to move on from it. Even Guardians of the Galaxy will touch on the relationships after the snap. Because Rocket keeps losing everybody. Gamora doesn't have the same relationship she used to have with the team.
Some people need everything spelled out and every connection spoon fed to them.
I really thought the snap was going to be the cause of the mutant race, like it altered their DNA as Ryan states. I know all of the rights issues with X-Men and Fantastic 4 is just not settled so maybe it will be explained in those future movies.
I don't recall seeing ANY plants disappearing at the SNAP. Curiouser and curiouser!
And there is estimated to be 500,000 ppl. in a plane now. That is 250,000 ppl. blipping into existance in the air without a parachute. Wow!
By the way, the Infinity stones were used 4 times. Thanos, Thanos, Hulk and Iron Man.
imagine people on ships/cruises/boats.. imagine people who were on moving cars respawning in the middle of highways! people who were on trains now respawning on train tracks.. oncoming speedtrain! oh god! the horror!
@@Ra-Hul-K The more you think about it the more terrorfying it would have been. A tree appearing where a person was standing, only half the bacteria in your stomach to digest food... etc, etc.. It would have scarred most people for life... if life could continue at all.
And the bacteria would probably levelled it's self out in 5 years so suddenly... blip and there is twice the amount of good and bad everywhere. Are we over thinking this?
They probably will do something like that as far as people looking at the avengers or earth sideways or like silver surfer finding all this great “food” for galactus. I agree it would have been a great inciting incident to start off the multiverse saga but it kinda did with Loki but I get what you mean. Cool video!
Having an 'um actually' moment, but the stones were used 4 times together. The first snap, when thanos used the stones to destroy the stones, the un-snap by Hulk and the final snap by Tony.
I think a lot of it has to do with the timing of the movie and the pandemic, of course but also that having a story set during that time would cost a lot of money to bring back the relevant actors to play the characters during that time. And Disney is more about moving forward, than spending the money to tell that story.
I can totally see Alex Jones and conspiracy weirdos going on for 5 years that the Avengers didn't really kill Thanos.. Just for doubling down when Thanos 2014 comes back
Wakanda Forever brought this up for me again because Nakia gives the perfect opportunity for a story during the Snap. She was raising a kid who will probably be pretty important and it would be a closed universe sort of story. But yeah, the whole thing would have been a easy x gene event. I mean they could still do that but that is still post the first Snap.
I do wonder though that Scott may be the catylst for a bad guy to start his anti Avenger mission. He is famous and beloved right now but he might just bring Kang to the regular world. Someone is going to take Zemo's message to the extreme and people will listen.
Mayhaps instead of creating heroes, they are Born Again
That's simply the greatest piece of constructive criticism I have ever seen about the MCU, and I am glad to see it here at ScreenCrush. Thinking about Covid-19 and the lack of a main saga on Phase 4, I wonder if there wasn't a decision to not address the blip while the real world was suffering. What do you think?
Reminds me of the impact the battle of Yavin had on empire strikes back, they wouldn't shut up about it.
Yes they did. The fault goes to leadership(CEO). The Disney + shows should be used to promote the Marvel movies. This idea would be the tipping point to do so. Unfortunately, they just put the product out there for consumption.
Why we didn’t get a phase 4 project set in those 5 years and they could’ve made it like a post apocalyptic super hero story would’ve been amazing, set in an abandoned New York and crime is everywhere man the potential!!! MARVEL U WASTED IT!
And the fact that no mcu villains thought it was a good time to take over in those 5 years in just strange, like there world ending threats every year in the mcu yet for 5 years nothing happened I know half life is gone but there surely would’ve been villains that were out there but didn’t take up world domination waste, Dormamu can easily come back especially since Strange doesn’t have the time stone
This would be great as a serious. With the Cap and Winter Solider could have really tapped into it. They had the space to spend diving deep into the 5 years and the consequences.
Hand this guy the keys to writing future MCU content.
I wonder if the pandemic affected their plans for story. Maybe they didnt want more depressing storylines.
I feel we have got a lot from little bits here and there about the snap in the shows and movies.
This video got me thinking it would have been so much cooler to have Avengers: Infinity War be announced only as one film. Then over the next 2-3 years we get Ant-Man & The Wasp, some of these cool ideas about new heroes and villains in the 5-year gap (or even some shows of everyday people struggling and adapting)...and then we finally get Avengers: Endgame, after WE AS THE AUDIENCE have also dealt with thinking what the people within the MCU have had to accept: that half of everyone was gone forever. Instead we went into it knowing it would be reversed. How cool if we had gone through some of what the in-universe characters had dealt with. Of course, the deal with Sony and revealing Spider-Man: Far From Home would have thrown a wrench in that, and one benefit to skipping 5 years was that the MCU gained a bit of ground on keeping "now" in MCU a bit closer to "now" in our world by "working ahead" a bit...
You're one of my favorite Journalists! 💪🏿
Wiped out half of living things in the universe yet no other super being out there goes looking for what caused it.
Fantastic video I would really love to see them go down this route with a series 🤞🏻
A really good point. It never occurred to me. Exploring this idea could have lead to amazing things. The multiverse saga has had very few hits and the overall quality has dropped after NWH.
Hope this video reaches Kevin F and he does something about it.
I have to think lots of the Snap-related resentment will be played up in the Thunderbirds chapter
This is all well and good, but the MCU is largely an adaptation of stories from Marvel Comics. In the original Infinity Gauntlet comic - the snap takes place over the course of a few days, if not a few hours. Endgame extended it to Five Years, and I think with Falcon/Winter Soldier as well as the aftermath of Ronin in Hawkeye, and the consequences scene in WandaVision they've already addressed the ramifications *far* more than they were in the original story, which was essentially nothing.
There is story potential there, lots of it, but the more they look back to that event the less they're able to move forward and continue adapting newer stories from the Marvel catalog..
essentially they bit off more than they could chew..
100% I remember them saying punisher 2 took me lace during the snap but I didn’t feel it
What's interesting is the world over the last few years has lost so many work aged people that it has affected or economy, and it was no where near half.
On another note, it was the consequences of the snap that released Kang unto the multiverse. From one crisis to another.
Imagine the 5 years of anarchy on Earth, kinda purge like chaos. Would’ve been great to see superheroes like The Punisher fight crimes at a street leave. Darker and closer to reality than Gods fighting in space
What I didn't like about the infinity storyline was how it said that after the Big Bang, the 6 stones was spread throughout the cosmos. Yet all 6 of them just happen to be in our Galaxy. With the size of the Universe, the odds would be astronomical for there to be just 1 stone here, let alone all 6.
Easily assumed consequences: If there were half as many people on the world, real estate values would collapse. The prices of everything would decrease. It *might* even result in a new economy emerging, even one that does away with the concept of money.
i'm pretty sure some writers at Marvel warned about the real implications of the snap & undoing it.. & the studio execs. just shrugged it off & told them to not take it too seriously
It's been shocking how little Marvel has dug into the snap and its consequences. Falcon and the Winter Soldier made it feel like maybe they were going that direction but... nah. It's just like the giant celestial in the ocean that no one references. Phase IV has been a mess of miss opportunities.
I heard Secret Invasion might explore it but agreed surprisingly under utilized.
Quick thought of me imagine that one tribe who lives on a island completely isolated from us? What did they thought when some of them members just dissapeared in dust and 5 years later they came back they live there with no connection to the reat of the world they can not know about the avangers and thanos and the snap
I agree with Ryan in this one. And that's certainly a weird aproach. The first problem i see is Marvel/Feige chose some characters that simply could not continue the Snap/Blip storyline. Simply put Shang Chi and Eternals could not carry on the thing started with the Avengers. In a personal level both She Hulk and Ms. Marvel are example of lost oportunity to build upon the Blip wasted: the whole talk She Hulk had about getting powers and try to act like a normal person MDID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AFTER THANOS; she should know the rules, that they are menace from everywhere to believe she could be a Hulk and just move on. As for Kamal, altough it was noble to show paqistani culture, that part of the world would never recover so quickly after a Snap. Sorry but this denies centuries of infight in the middle east. Overall, to me it's clear that the Blip was a Russo Brothers thing that nobody else wanted to touch upon ( and maybe did not have permission from Feige to develop on).
I thought the whole point of the Loki Season 1 finale was to be the inciting incident that establishes the Multiverse Saga? I agree that the snap should have had more ramifications and I hope they will explore that further.
This illustrates just how selfish and shortsighted Tony's conditions on the un-snap were. He had a new family, the rest of the universe can get f*cked if they lost something. It also makes me wonder where the rest of the Avenger's heads were that allowed those conditions to be demanded.
that would have been costs 5 pages of notes for all future marvel films script writers, depending on how different the mcu would be compared to the real life, it might be so much differences until people stop caring about anything that happens to the the world in the film
replying to myself so the bot will not
Marvel needs an universal television station … for everything in the universe … but who would run this “station”? It would have to be someone with a certain something, a je ne sais quoi … a MOJO if you will. I know, it’s a LONGSHOT but a boy can dream and hope before he SPIRALS can’t he?
I just realized another small plot hole regarding the snap that particularly effects Wakanda Forever. We can assume that half of Talocan was dusted too. The same Talocan ready to wreak havoc on the world for ONE ship that wandered too far into their turf. ONE SHIP brought them to the surface trying to kidnap teenagers and drown the most powerful nation on the map. So…imagine half of them disappearing and NONE of the fishies have any idea why. That’s not motivation enough for Namor to pop his head from the depths just to see what the hell happened to half of his people? Maybe not, maybe HE was dusted. Their king, their God. So what’s LEFT of Talocan wouldn’t immediately pop up and start killing EVERYONE that doesn’t have gills!?! They just took the snap in stride? Yeah, the MCU has some explaining to do.
i agree, such a good potential for even just a mini series called "post-snap" or something that could've explored earth and other places during this time period.
What’s even worse is that the second snap the avengers used was only used to return everything to the status quo. They didn’t use it to make life better, or to bring peace to the universe. They had two chances, and it was just to return the world to how it was before Thanos. These heroes had a chance to do something really heroic, but they did nothing to bring change.
If they weren't going to do anything with it the snap could have been less than a year. just long enough for Tony's daughter to be born.
then who'll say "i love u 3000" 😅.. you cant put much character into a 1-year-old
As much as I like the Snap, the solution really should've been to just wind time back so it never happened rather than just return everyone to life.
I find your points compelling. Pop Culture Detective did a recent piece on heroes as defenders of the status quo that intersects with your thesis nicely.
Yea, i never thought about it but...yea, they cud have done so much more w/ that story line.
Your videos are always fantastic
Totally agree, I wonder this a lot of time
The snap is a problem for orchestrating movie releases. If you have a bunch of movies that rely on the snap not being fixed, you have to delay the release of every movie that happens after the snap is undo until theyve all released.
As opposed to just letting the snap be undone, and all the movies only depend on one release
@ 14:08 I'm still almost certain Marvel will use the Blip as a way to explain WHY mutants are now a thing once they fully introduce the X-Men. As a matter of fact, I will lose a $20 bet if they DON'T do this. So, don't fail me now, MCU.
The tone of exploring the snap is not really part of the disney brand. I think if you wanted to explore that you can see the leftovers which is darker, grim and even they seem to move on quite quickly.
I agree, I hope future MCU properties address this more. Maybe the long rumored Nomad show or movie. 🤞
Also, This video was clearly recorded before Wakanda Forever. Not that they addressed the snap at all either, but the one line Ryan says, ["I guess we'll see in Wakanda Forever"].
Falcon and The Winter Soldier is underrated for this reason as it delves deep into just how far the flag smashers had to come if they were desperate enough to try and take out the leaders of the world you know they shared a bond of rebuilding that came from pain and loss.
Was hoping the X-MEN aka the brotherhood to do exactly that! Hold the Avengers accountable & what not.
Or Dr. Doom (who I think Riri professor was)
Great points....dang...very good thought process
Phase 3 should have ended with IW and Phase 4 should have been the Snap phase ending with Endgame
I’m sure we’ll get “snap era prequel” type shows 15+years from now to further expand the mcu on D+. Similar to how they’ve done with Star Wars universe.
3 seasons of slow burn to explain how it was necessary so that the avengers could ultimately win 😂
Word. The snap was the perfect opportunity to introduce the Thunderbolts. They would’ve filled the void left by the avengers, even as they took advantage of it. It could’ve kicked off the Spider-Man clone saga too. Spidey is gone? Let’s clone him!
Just saying that now after she hulk ended, skar’s back story could be introduced around that, science he isn’t that old, if not vanished, those 5 years would be most of his life by now
I mean.. the snap did lead to the time heist , which led to breaking the multiverse , so it did kinda have massive aftermath just not in the societal way your saying
Re watching Wanda vision and I'm seeing all the missed opportunities just in the hospital scene alone 🤦🏿
The question for you is: how do we know they won’t do any of this in phase 5-6 or later? There’s still a lot of storytelling ahead of us and they can use this fertile ground
Because the time is already gone
I've always thought a good way to introduce the X-men or Mutants in general into the MCU could be human's or "Humanity's" Response to the growing dangers popping up in their world.
There can already be Mutants in the world who've had their X-Gene activated from stressful/dangerous experience which can be used to explain older mutants. As for newer mutants have them be people who've been greatly effected by all the major incidents in the MCU.
It's funny to see this coming out at about the same time as Pop Culture Detective releases a video about the MCU using its properties to defend the status quo of systems on earth. Get they ass
Maybe they are going to revist the snap during phase 5 to introduce new heros. Like they did with the attack on NY, Phase 1, and Phase 3/4.
It feels more like Marvel are treating Phase 4 as the new Phase 1 but with the understanding that more people have a general marvel understanding.
So I watched Thor Love and Thunder for the first time last week. I thought about the snap and what it would have done to Omnipotence city. Like half of all these "gods" also just disappeared
The blimp sound like a good reason mustant exist than using water pollution as the case
Mutants we’re remove from timeline including fantastic 4,tarengene mist, and doctor doom by the One that remains to keep a Kang showing up in the scared time line. That’s y in the new Ant man movie Kang escape in quatuam realms an that where all the things were remove are at an Scott needs to steal them back
Give me a show of someone taking up the mantle of a hero that was snapped and then they hero returning.
It would’ve been excellent for that to be basically a dinner bell for galactus. Three times would make it easy on an x, y, x axis
There would be at least one plant that is cut off from the rest of the universe that still have no idea what happened
I wish they made the captain America show with him returning each infinity stone. 6 episodes, 1 for each stone.
YES! Great video!
Ronin was born from the snap.😚
Thunderbolts are probably put together as a team who could do what the Avengers couldn't🤔
What about bacteria coming back and mutating like a different Covid. Or endangered species! When half is gone and come back the other half dies
It still bugs me that Marvel Studios embargoed "The Snap" on Agents of SHIELD, and actively prevented the writers on that show from doing any stories set in the five year span. I had always assumed that Feige just wanted his creations to get first dibs on telling Snap-era stories. But no, it turns out that 1) Marvel Studios were just being petulant dicks, and 2) they really didn't have a clue as to what to do with The Snap but at the same time didn't want one of the best TV shows in the MCU doing it better than them. Because I know that AoS would have.
Marvel still has time to revisit this, do something with it and yes you are 100% correct saying the longer they they leaveit the more it becomes a distant past footnote.
