Kevin Feige discusses how a pivotal Avengers: Endgame moment was influenced by LOGAN (Spoilers for both)
- Thread starter MadLaughter

I wasn't concerned about that at all. Though I thought the consequences of the Snap weren't really followed through on in the first place. For example, 1/4 of all passenger airliners would have lost both pilots, 1/2 of all car, truck, and bus drivers would have disappeared etc which would create a massive amount of collateral and infrastructure damage while the remaining half of first responders, police, military, and health workers would have struggled to cope with the chaos (especially if they lost critical team members). Society would have broken down completely between the human losses, fires and breakdown in services, and the emotional trauma.
Did Thanos wish for the culling to happen "safely" too? That's a better question in my opinion.
The Shane quote legit hurts. With Tony it's the moment of his death that's painful, especially when Pepper talks to him, but with Logan it's... everything.
When he tells Laura not to be what they made her, he's also referring to himself and the Weapon X program, and then he finally understands what "it" feels like - and we're left asking if he meant dying or being loved.
Just thinking about it makes me sad. š
Ok, ok, but what about like the people left on planes where the pilot was snapped? I guess they dead. They dead all over!
The entire reason that Marvel Studios isn't under the purview of Perlmutter and Marvel Entertainment is because Feige wanted to pay RDJ a large sum of money to be in Civil War and Ike didn't. You didn't actually need to write Homecoming in such a way that Iron Man is a big part of it, and pay RDJ the $15M that that entailed, but they did anyway. The idea that now they wouldn't want to pay him anymore, even though the movies make more than enough money to make up for it, is completely absurd.
But then again, you probably already knew that.
That's touched upon, no? Seeing Ant-Man running through abandoned streets, the conversation at the start where they "miss the Mets", etcetera. Looks and sounds as though a lot of things are gone. Society hasn't collapsed, but it looks like they didn't have it easy either.
RDJ and Chris Evans didn't want to do Marvel forever and wanted to leave on a high note before people are sick of their respective characters. They extended their original contracts several times I believe.
Maybe some of the other original Avengers like ScarJo or Ruffalo were done as well.

Gonna go with nope.
Granted with all his talk of random fairness of his culling he was probably a 'get the big thing done and let chips fall where they may' kinda guy.
Or just an asshole but y'know.
I'm late to the party here but Feige or the Russos' actually addressed this in another interview. Thanos would've gone to earth in 2014 while his crew was reverse engineering the Pym tech Nebula brought. Once on earth he would've razed it, found that timeline's Cap, and beheaded him. As you can imagine it was a lot of exposition to add to a damn long film.
What they basically showed and implied was "a whole lot of people got sad and gave up or stopped trying". There wasn't really that much impact depicted beyond what was shown in The Leftovers, and in that TV series only 2% of the worlds population disappeared (the effects and aftermath of the event in that show felt fairly solid).
The reality of the Snap would be a lot more actual death and destruction between immediate accidents, fire, disease, starvation, suicide, looting/riots, revolutions/war, etc. But that would have been far more dark than what the movie called for.
Finally closure. I still feel bad for those who died of the consequences of the snap and very likely did not return.
