Saw this on quora
In the MCU, after the Snap and the Blip have taken place, isn't every single humanlike intelligent being in existence traumatized and depressed? Like, just on earth, after the blip, every human must be pretty emotionally damaged by all that, right?
I honestly think the worst place you can be is living a life of a normal human being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The answer to your question is yes. In fact, after the Blip, there are a lot of things to deal with.
In fact, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier shows a lot of issues the normal people are facing.
Let’s take an example of two situations:
· Situation 1 - You survived the snap:
Imagine, you’re living with your parents. Due to the snap they vanish. Similarly, some of your friends and your family get randomly wiped off the face of Earth. Now, you’re left behind. You stay depressed for an year and then things start falling into place.
You start making progress. Now, there are more resources then the people. So everything is available readily. Yes there were economical ups and downs but after an year things are now going good.
After 2 years with whatever you’re left, you’re finally happy. You get a good job so you sell your parents house and decide to leave your state and live in some other state.
It’s been five years since the Snap and you’re in a totally different situation. Suddenly, a family appears out of nowhere in the current house you’re staying. They’re freaked out to find you here.
Similarly, your parents come back at their place only to find someone else living there.
The place where you’re working decides to fire you as the old manager who was wiped out is now back.
You learn that Hulk brought everyone back. You find that there’s chaos everywhere.
Everyone you loved is back but you’re at your worst currently. You sold off your house with the proper paperwork and bought this one with the help of loan which you were paying off because you were working.
Now, the previous owners are back. You’re now struggling to find a place to live. You decide to take the matter to court but there are 1000’s of such cases already pending.
· Situation 2 - You were wiped out:
Let’s take a bizarre example that you were getting married. You turn into dust and then you’re back again.
The place where were getting married is empty. You’re still in your wedding suit. You get out of church and go to your girl’s place.
You ring her doorbell and she’s surprised to see you. You find out that she’s with someone else.
They’re not married yet but clearly she’s over you. You ask her to get married but now she’s unsure.
Because what was just moments for you was 5 years for her in which she was depressed and agonized by your loss and she was finally alright. She had accepted that you’ll never be back.
Now that you’re back, it’s your turn to go through all of that.
There are many possibilities which can occur in these two situations. Marvel has barely touched the surface in terms of exploring these things.
It’s better to say that Marvel doesn’t get much into exploring the collateral damage. So far, we’ve just seen MCU from one point of view.
So, yes, everyone is facing some kind of problem after The Blip especially and these problems will some how make way into future MCU projects.
It’s just a matter of time as to when Marvel decides to exploit it. In fact some of these traumatized people may be a greater threat for others and may very well serve as villains for upcoming MCU projects.
____-___
IMO since marvel has stated that the secret invasion takes place during the blip This could be some of the themes and storylines they explore.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed that Secret Invasion takes place "during The Blip"... which raises a very huge question.
