Avengers: Endgame – How The Avengers destroyed the world!

 

Warning: spoilers ahead. If you haven’t watched the Endgame till now, read at your own risk.

After the collective shockwave that spanned the globe following Thanos’ finger snapping at the end of “Avengers-Infinity War”, we have the second biggest spectacle of 2019 (The first one is of course the elections!).

The return of our beloved superheroes was inevitable, as was the tried and tested time-travel formula.

The joy and excitement in the movie hall when our lost superheroes made a grand entrance on the battlefield to fight the Mother of all Battles against Thanos’s army was both overwhelming and infectious.

But in our collective herogasm of the moment, we did overlook a few facts, which if we understand correctly, would take us to a singular conclusion: 

By restoring the universe to the pre-Thanos-finger-snapping moment, the Avengers destroyed the world.

Curious to know how? Well, keep reading at your own risk.

When Thanos snapped his fingers in Infinity War, half the population of the universe disappeared.

When Hulk snapped his fingers in Endgame, that same population reappeared after a gap of five years, just to make sure the timeline is not (overtly) altered.

Now think of the implications. 

This is where the fun starts 😊

Remember that last scene from Infinity War, just before Nick Fury disappeared? A helicopter crashed into a building, most probably because its pilot disappeared.

After five years, imagine where that pilot reappeared? Exactly at the same spot where he had disappeared.

Two hundred feet above the ground.

Without a helicopter to hold him in the air!

I think he was better off five years ago!

What about the passengers who disappeared in the middle of their plane journeys? They would reappear thirty thousand feet into the sky! What a spectacular way to make a comeback, or should I say, a splatback!

Think of a fellow who disappeared from an open space. If that open space is now occupied by any kind of solid structure, the person may have reappeared partly embedded within the structure, killing him/her instantly.

Then what about the people who disappeared while driving? They would reappear in the middle of busy roads full of fast-moving traffic, sans their vehicles.

And these are just the physical issues of people reappearing.

What about the social issues?

Imagine this.

Five years ago, you had a loving spouse, and a couple of very sweet kids.

After Thanos snapped his fingers, all of them were gone.

You were devastated. You mourned their loss for a full year.

Then you realized that half the world probably shared your grief. So, you decided to move on.

You married again. Had a couple of kids during the next four years.

Then Hulk snapped his fingers, and boom!

Now you have two families, and probably your new spouse too!

Now imagine this:

You were a very wealthy, successful entrepreneur till the Thanos finger-snap. You had your own condo with a view, a luxury beach house, and a porche to show off your wealth.

Post the Thanos-fingersnap, you were gone.

Now, you are suddenly back after five years only to find out that your fancy condo with a view, beach house, assorted cars and your business is completely taken over by survivors of the Thanos finger-snap. All of your life savings are gone. You are nothing but a homeless bum now.

Five years is enough time for anyone to get used to anything.

Since the last Thanos finger-snap, people must have got used to less traffic snarls, smaller queues, and an abundance of resources. The production of food and every commodity must have adjusted to cater for the smaller population. This is the simple law of demand and supply.

Now suddenly, post the Hulk finger-snap, the world population doubled in a single moment! What do you think would happen to the world if the population doubles overnight?

It’s a recipe for a Civil War!

Can the world survive such sudden strain on its resources?

We are not even going into the subject of all the criminals, terrorists and politicians, who has disappeared previously, and would make a comeback to the present day!

Are you pissed off with the Avengers yet?

Now imagine such a catastrophe happening on every habitable planet across the universe, thanks to the short sightedness of our beloved Avengers!

No points for guessing whom I will root for in the battle between Avengers and Thanos!!
