Like, if they'd made it last say 12-18 months, it could probably be reversible. People would still be grieving, people would have new jobs but not be very locked in, people would probably still mostly be living in the same places and so (countless renters among them rent-free due to Blip'd landlords and no real mechanism for fixing that, especially as in many cases inheritance would also be unclear and still probate courts would be effectively jammed up for decades).But they made it 5 years, and by then, we know from world wars and so on that huge numbers of people would have just moved on. The Blip would be probably survivable (so long as we didn't lose too many nuclear power plant technicians etc.), but the people coming back, like the "hitting the ground" part of the fall would be killer. Those people just didn't exist for 5 years. They want their stuff back - their jobs, their lives, their houses, their cars, their friends, etc. and it wouldn't happen. There'd be absolute chaos for decades. Entire countries would collapse. Revolutions would occur. You could easily do an entire many-seasons-long show about the long-term consequences, and it would make the MCU very, very different as a world, to our own.But instead it seems like they briefly and lightly engaged with some of this stuff, realized how consequential it would be, and then backed away rapidly, hoping everyone forgot it even happened.It's such a bad plan to write in these kind of problems. Same with the Eternals - like, why even write that ending? All you're doing is causing huge issues for future writers and making the world more distant and less relatable. I feel like Kevin Feige is probably not the mastermind people regard him as given he allowed both of these plotlines.</blockquote>
