I feel like if the MCU were smarter, they would have some media showcasing what happened between Avengers Infinity War and Endgame.
How would have world wide governments dealt with the mass panic and societal instability that would have come along with the snap, how would the individual Avengers have dealt with the emotional impact of losing for the first time and feeling they have failed in their responsibility.
One of the weirdest things in Endgame, is how most of the Avengers (save for Thor and Clint) actually seemed relatively stable post Infinity War. Steve is kinda down but he has his own support group and doesn't seem anymore sad than he was when he was displaced from his own time, Tony has a new family living in a cozy house, Black Widow is the same Natasha is the same Natasha as before, and Bruce is actually doing really well shown by the fact that he managed to fuse his Hulk and Bruce persona together and is no longer struggling with dual identities and feeling he has something in himself that he wants to get rid off.

It would've been immensely unpopular first but they should've had a good 1-2 years of movies set during The Snap MCU then have Endgame come out in the 2020's when they finally find Thanos. But everyone wanted the instant gratification and couldn't wait to see Endgame.
 
When did Bucky and Black Widow start banging each other?

Honestly could've been simpler to maybe have Ant Man 2 and Captain Marvel deal with the fallout of the Snap in some capacity since there were 2 Marvel Movies Post-Infinity War anyway

I really feel people here are underestimating the general public's desire to be given what they expect. Ant Man was one of the more heart-felt and uplifting of the MCU movies - it was low-key and involved a semi-regular guy who just wanted to be able to see his daughter. And she had a doberman sized pet ant. The majority of people going to see Ant Man 2 weren't thinking 'I'm a big fan of the comics and I really want them to do something interesting with this.' They were thinking 'the last Ant Man was a fun movie and made me feel warm and fuzzy. I'm in the mood for that so I'll go see the sequel'. Do you have any idea how many dates would have been ruined if you'd had an hour and a half of Ant Man mourning the loss of his daughter or vice versa, And apocalyptic break down of society, food riots, counselling groups?

I've thought about the earlier comment that snap-set movies wouldn't have to be depressing and having mulled it over, no - I think they either have to have a drastically different tone to the predecessor MCU movies or it gets silly. This forum would be the first to mock an MCU movie that didn't treat the snap with utter realism.

and realism with the Snap necessitates a different tone that raises the issue of expectations I talk about.

As to Captain Marvel... it was an introduction movie to a heroine who is both (a) extremely powerful and (b) quite Space focused. Who would she be fighting and what would she be doing if you make fall out from the Snap the focus of the movie? She's not really the heroine for dealing with subversive cults and political upheaval. It's not impossible but it's not a natural fit. Especially in the short-format of MCU. Carol Smash!

People sometimes don't think about what the randomness of it means as well. For couples, three out of four of them will come to a sudden end because two partners each with a 50/50 chance of going means 75% chance at least one will. Given the grief could cause many people not to remarry you get a further collapse after that. Plus as we're talking about animals some mate for life.

Remember, Far From Home established that nearly all of Peter's class was wiped out, meaning there's less chances for creating healthy offspring.

No. Remembering would have required actually watching it. I never made it past the trailer where she tells Bruce of all people that she has more reason to be angry than he does because she gets cat-called (which I have doubts about, as an aside).

Because why would we want to see She-Hulk try to get the Accords repealed herself?

People don't remember this anymore because they announced this in the 2010's but MCU post-endgame was supposed to go "cosmic".
Captain Marvel and Black Panther were supposed to lead the cosmic chapter of MCU in the 2020's.

That quickly got shafted post-lockdowns and they went with Kang instead... and then Kang got shafted too.

that would make her actually important and have unique skills, and not twerking

One thing I forgot is that people have known about the MCU going to go full on Multiverse and bring the X-men in before even Endgame came out.

I remember 4chan was talking about this a lot, likely due to leaks and remember seeing so many Endgame fanmade trailers before the official one came out depicting the X-men being in Endgame and a few of them with the Fantastic Four.
Many people thought that Endgame was already going to invite in the Multiverse.

I admit, it felt like an exciting prospect when I was looking at all this as a teenagers those couple years back, it's sad to see how much of a disaster it turned out to be.

I suppose having Captain Marvel be the face of that already showed it becoming a disaster.

yeah I absolutely expected something in Endgame would make Mutants and other Fox properties happen as just some weird side-effect, or like "my power is that of all this universe" "good thing we brought some spare universes"
 
Rumor circulates about Neve Campbell being cast as Polaris for the MCU.

Half truth, she's gonna be in xmen97 S2, as for Beau Demayo (same role).
 
I realized that there isn't much difference phyiscally between Carol Danvers and Susan Storm.

At least Emma had to change her looks to match Susan.

People couldn't care less about B listers after the IW cliffhanger and went to those movies expecting IW tie-ins. Yet they scammed the audience with barely relevant standalone movies while riding on the hype.

Ant-Man 2 could have worked better pre-IW. Just remove the snap context from the post credits and it is all good.

Captain Marvel would have flopped if it wasn't for the hype and now they are using her numbers as a proof that people actually care about stronk wymn. Glad the sequel showed the truth.

What they showed in EG wasn't enough. They had the opportunity to explore the aftermath but they just used it to boost the numbers of 2 regular movies.
