[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8991353, member: 7035894"] Sure, I guess. But hand-waving stuff that should have way bigger consequences with "maybe superheroes fixed it behind the scenes" is basically just saying "magic fixed it (possibly literally)." Which from an audience perspective is kinda lame. The "snap" has the same problem - the consequences of that should have been utterly transformative. And while they've worked it into plots, the MCU still assumes a world in which nothing [I]really[/I] has changed - within months of returning Peter Parker and friends can go on European vacation and it looks pretty normal. F&WS has a terrorist plot related to the snap, but really society has recovered pretty much seamlessly. In other words, we are being told things, but not shown them. What I saw happen in Eternals would change Earth history for all time. At a fundamental, geological level, never the mind the rampant death and destruction that would have ensued, the consequences to weather, climate...and that's just talking about the hand jutting out of the Indian Ocean - that is just a fraction of the whole eternal that was about to bust the entire planet apart and still exists underground. That should have been a civilization-ending catastrophe! [/QUOTE]
