They only introduced The Snap to give us a big shocking cliffhanger ending for Infinity War, and The Blip as a way to give the characters a big heroic moment, and to bring back characters like Dr. Strange, The Falcon, and Spider-Man, I doubt it was ever their intention to go all that deep on it.
If having a "heroic moment" was the
only reason for using such a catastrophic event as you suggest, then it was horribly misused, as an writer knows such an event instantly demanded follow ups in their connected universe of films and TV series.
Like I've said before, you are clearly looking for the wrong things in these movies and shows, they just aren't the kinds of things that are really going to go that deep into stuff like how The Blip effected things.
No, I expect franchise heads/showrunners to do more than throw spectacle and illogic in front of a camera and think that audiences are just going to swallow it all as the franchise moves forward from that "biggest ever"/"biggest disaster" event
These are movies and shows about people in brightly colored costumes fighting aliens, robots, and other people in brightly colored costumes, and anything more than that is just extra, and is just there to make us care about the people in brightly colored costumes and why they are fighting aliens, robots, or other people brightly colored costumes
That's a poor excuse, and contradicts your earlier backpedal:
I do like the movies to have some depth in the characters and story, so I'm not looking for totally mindless action,
Mindless action is all you're getting if this snap/blip was hard-sold as such a grave, dramatic event in the lives of
everyone, yet only one series
seriously used it as the central plot driver/focus, and its never addressed again, while an earlier production such as
Far from Home barely addressed it at all, with everything looking/functioning as if all were right with the world. That's an astounding lack of franchise-runner and plotting consistency (and forethought about what needed to happen in all post-blip earth-based films for the near future) that a world in chaos, (en)forced migration, etc., on the level constantly stated in
Captain America and the Winter Soldier is just paid lip service (if that) from this point forward.
At this point, going deeper into The Blip really isn't going to add that much more to people in brightly colored costumes or the reasons why they are fighting aliens, robots, or other people in brightly colored costumes, so I can't see them wasting their precious screen time on it.
From the way you talk about the MCU productions on here, it sounds like you've never even liked them, and it's clear you are never going to be happy with anything they do, so I'm really starting to think you might be better off just not wasting your time with anything coming from Marvel Studios.
^ Nothing like blanket statements to not make a point. That, and yours was a highly defensive, weak cop-out shifting blame to the viewer, rather than the productions. If you think its all the greatest stuff ever put on screen, that's fine for you, but this is far from the first time movie-goers have questioned the lack of consistency in the Marvel movies over the years, and now that they've added the idea of a post-blip world, viewers will naturally question how a film can go back to blast antics when we were just told innumerable parts of the earth's population are suffering.
Audiences were not asleep and missed all of that.
By the way, I had a similar discussion on a Comic Book forum: you can kill the 98% of superheroes out there with a bullet. They are still alive because the writers say so.
(and this is exactly the plot of this story)
Probably. Someone mentioned Iron Man (doubting he could be killed that way), but in the real world, all manner of bullets are designed for different and very specific purposes. That being very, very true in reality, then, in the fantasy of comics, who couldn't develop a bullet that would rip through Iron Man's armor?
