     @judgedread Marvel writers have since never been able to reconcile that utterly stupid and grimdark idea of half the universe is dead but oh, some of them can come back because ???. Someone did a good write up of how stupid it is to handwave a "everyone died but didn't" storyline into the movies but I can't remember where
     
     That and the forced DEI makes anything post Endgame nigh unwatchable

     @Appalachian_Crusader The undo snap brings back anyone who was disintegrated by the Thanos snap but if you were on a Lear Jet and the pilot got dusted causing the plane to crash you stayed dead. Ironically you're better off being dusted because you miss the decimation and can't be killed for good by mishap. Plus a time skip meaning you live an extra five years into the future.
     
     It's a mess.

     Avengers Infinity War and Endgame were the shark jump moment for the MCU. Not because they were bad but because they broke the universe.
     
     For those who missed them the salient plot point is that Thanos obtains a god-weapon and kills half of all life in the entire universe for retarded reasons I needn't go into. The Avengers, having failed to prevent this, set out to reverse it with time travel five years later when the opportunity arises.
     
     The critical error is that, because Tony Stark had a child in those five years, he will only hit the undo button with a five year gap. In other words the fact that civilization reverted because half the people were 'raptured' will not be undone, nor will the horror of seeing 50% of your friends and relations disintegrate.
     
     So basically MCU going forward exists in a radically divergent timeline from ours, where before it was a world much like this one only every so often aliens would attack and superheroes were flying or swinging around Manhattan.
     
     It's also different in a grim and dark way, completely ruining the light tone associated with Marvel since Stan and Jack soft rebooted it in 1962.
