The marvel Cinematic Universe prides itself on its long form storytelling and connections. So isn't it weird that for five years, half of all life in the universe was GONE and no one mentions it? IN this video we break down all of the missed opportunities in the MCU.

#marvel #MCU #VideoEssay

The Snap was a complete shock, everything changed when Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out 50% of all life in the universe. The villain won, the heroes failed, and trillions of lives…just vanished in an instance.
For 5 years, there was no hope, no way to bring back the dusted.
How can anyone move past that?

The snap had devastating implications on every living being in the universe, it’s the sort of catastrophe that changes everything, forever.

But now, looking at the aftermath of the snap - and the blip for that matter- it all feels inconsequential.

In hindsight, this supposed universe altering event is a footnote on history, something the world has mostly moved on from pretty quickly.
Which completely diminishes the impact of the snap.

And this is a huge missed opportunity, Marvel should have done so much more with the snap and its implications on the world. The snap should have been a permanent change to the Marvel cinematic universe.

It’s kinda insane to me that the MCU is basically refusing to explore the 5 years in between the snap and the blip.
The snap has so much story potential, this is one of the most interesting time periods in the MCU. And not just on Earth, think about all the potential it had on countless civilizations in space.

So we need to take a serious look at the snap, why it’s such a big missed opportunity, and the story direction the MCU should have taken with it.


The snap is an event that happened everywhere, it affected everyone. We are talking about 50% of all life in the universe vanishing in a blink of an eye.

Just here on Earth, the snap means devastation in every possible way. Billions of lives were affected and ruined. People tend to focus on all the trillions of lives that were dusted. But it’s more than just sentient beings, we are talking about animals too, trees, plants, microbes, and even viruses that are essential for the existence of life as we know.

The world after the snap would feel the consequences for decades. The sense of normalcy and safety that people knew for so long is gone forever.
Things will never go back to how they used to.
We can’t even imagine how irreversible this event would change our way of life in every possible way.

I mean think about all the cultural damage, all the people who died for real in the aftermath of the snap. Like passengers on planes who’s pilots vanished. We are talking here about countless planes falling from the sky, killing the passengers and the people on the ground.

Or all the babies that fell on the floor because their moms disappeared. Ok, fuck, that one is way too dark. Yeah, let’s not talk about that.

All of those people died for real, they didn’t not come back after the blip. And don’t even get me started about all of the people that probably died after trillions of lives suddenly reappeared.
This is something that needed to be touched on.

The world we see at the start of Endgame is a grim one.
We see that people are in pain, unable to move forward with their lives. Drowning with grief and misery.
There is garbade and abandoned cars piling in desolate streets. Overgrown buildings indicating the devastating cost of Thanos’ actions.


Also this dog, now that I see this dog…. that’s sad, man. Poor poppy, waiting for its owner, no idea of what is happening or if it will ever see its owner again.

But as depressing as this abandoned dog is, the movie doesn’t even come close to fully capturing the devastating scope the snap should have had on the world, and the rest of the universe.

For starters, there doesn’t seem to be an everlasting change that happened in those 5 years since the snap.

We don’t know much about that span of time. But World War 3 didn’t start, civilization didn’t collapse, and society didn’t devolve into a Mad Max wasteland.
