But now apparently one of those aliens just killed (because before the return everyone would have assumed they were dead) half of the world in a second. I mean its basically the rapture from the bible (hell I wouldn't be surprised if many many religious groups afterwards would have truly believed it was the rapture).Its hard to understate what that would have done to the psyche and the beliefs of the human race as a whole.In comparison, a big giant hand jutting from the ocean....that's like just being through a large massacre and then hearing on the news about some people getting killed in another country....it just doesn't have the same impact when the world already went through catastrophe.Now Client L is right that the celestial's emergence would have had many other serious impacts to the earth itself, which has been glossed over (or if you need some head cannon, perhaps cersei's transformation of the creature reduced a great deal of the impact, such as sucking in so much energy from the surrounding waters that it did not create tsunamis...etc, which makes as much sense as any superpower really). But I can respect that in comparison to the blip, the celestial's apperance would not be nearly as big a splash to the world.It just once again makes me pine for a one, two, hell ten different series about the blip. It is one of the greatest narrative moments in the MCU, it just kills me its being wasted in the face of much more mediocre shows and plots. Seriously, an absolute gold mine of story potential in that 5 year span.</blockquote>
