I think at this point, we should just realize that the blip time will be a noodle incident and never really explored to the satisfaction that fans will want.

This is kind of a problem that is inherent to superhero comics as a genre and carries over into the films: there are science fiction trappings but zero interest in exploring consequences; almost everything is written with short term impact in mind.

So the plots almost always involve these mind-blowing events that, rationally, should have enormous after effects. But then everything is pretty much back to normal for the next issue (or film).

Thus, the next film after Endgame has Peter Parker and his friends going on a European vacation as if nothing much had happened.

The result is that you train audiences to not take major plot events seriously. Which is okay if all you care about is thrills (c.f. Scorsese's point about superhero movies) or you allow character arcs to carry the story, which was a hallmark of the MCU up through Endgame. Recent MCU films have been hit or miss on that character development, IMO. Daredevil, though is all about character arcs, which is why it is so strong. And why I think Jessica Jones is a particularly good choice to bring back.

Clint was talking about those who were left behind but who were on say a plane. With a pilot and copilot and a random 50% blipping out one out of every four planes all around the world will lose both pilots and crash with the 50% of the passengers who were not blipped. On every highway half the cars going at speed lose their drivers so everyone left behind on the road is at risk of uncontrolled cars crashing into them and huge almost instant pileups.

Exactly. Like, if you want to horrify yourself, consider how many infants and very young children would have been suddenly locked in a home by themselves in a world collapsing in panic, and the grim fate that awaited many of them. I don't think a single one of the films or shows has mentioned any of these surely innumerable tragedies.

Or, as I mentioned previously, the fact that the earth is actually an egg for an enormous stillborn space god and their arm is now sticking out of it. No big deal.

Tony Stark's easy super energy generators being released to the world for mass implementation at the end of a movie but never referenced again stuck out to me. You can theorize it powering lots of stuff, but it seems most everything afterwords from what we see is completely the same whether that happened or not.

if you want a movie, you'll need to write letters

Further evidence that Thanos was a moron.

Yeah, I think that people are overthinking it from a perspective of exclusions and repercussions based on human knowledge. It uses the reality stone. It makes what he wants happen. So if he said half gone, half are gone- some dust, some just die as a result of the dusting. In the end, half are gone. When they revert, not only do the dusted return, the causal casualties are also reverted. Because it uses the reality stone.

People don't seem to get that the reality stone warps reality. If you say, "hey dude. You're living cubes now", coupled with the right stones to make it affect all it needs to affect, you're perfectly healthy as cubes lying all over the place.

Its an interesting idea. The snap killed ~40% of people, and the other 10% died in the immediate aftermath. Of course how the stones define "immediate" is a question, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

Honestly at this point i think the only way some folks will be happy will be a 5 or 10 part documentary on The Blip, narrated by Morgan Freeman, diving into every social and political and ecological aspect on a year by year basis at least for Earth. Then maybe a 3 part covering a few other planets.

Or....just one series that focuses on it. I mean the number of stories you could tell during that time is unreal, its a gold mine of narrative concepts.
