That premise builds in the viewer being unable to trust anything they see ever, which for me really hurts my investment in the show.Tell me about it. The whole thing has a myriad of fascinating implications that we've only seen touched upon lightly so far. We saw some of the fallout early in Endgame after the FIVE YEARS LATER, with the floating shanty town around the Statue of Liberty, vehicles and properties still abandoned in the streets, people still unable to move on with their lives - and in Falcon and the Winter Soldier we get the displaced younger generation, and apparent collapses of national boundaries and identities that were summarily restored after the Unsnap.But there's so much more to explore. How do you deal with billions of people who were legally - and literally - dead for five years suddenly coming back and wanting their old lives, livelihoods and possessions back? How do you assess, let alone deal with, the culture shock on both sides resulting from one population group having had to deal with five years of grief and misery and another having missed the last five years?I tend to think that The Blip is what the returnees took to calling it. For them, it really was just that - a few seconds of dissolution and reconstitution, and then "What did I miss?" Nothing like what the people who had to live through those years would have experienced.</blockquote>
