[MCU]/[IRL] Between the Battle of New York, The Convergence (Thor 2), the Expansion (GOTG 2), and the Snap, MCU-Earth has been through multiple '2020s', sometimes back-to-back. In one decade the public has experienced First Contact, multiple alien attacks, etc... How has this changed culture?

At one point the President of the United States was kidnapped by fire-breathing terrorists. The Hulk broke Harlem. An evil AI tried to end life on the planet. SHIELD, one of the only beacons of stability, turned out to have been subverted by evil terrorists and self destructed.

Its only been one year for us and already 2020 has spawned entire new genres of meme (e.g 'explaining the pandemic/election/etc... to my past self') and sparked widespread debate on multiple issues.

MCU Earth has been going through this for years at this point. Children have been born and raised in a world where absolutely no one has any idea what might happen next, to the point where saying you're from an alternate dimension is now a plausible 'origin story' to claim.

The current state of their cultural consciousness must be truly ridiculous.

Well people are terribly resilient, as long as they have air conditioning, beer, cigarettes, sex, television they can keep calm and carry on.

Also, people are stupid.

People were running up to Thor to get his picture when Loki was legitimately right behind him.

People are desperate to hold on to normalcy in the face of the terrible and the unknown.

If Dormammu succeeded guaranteed people would be committing suicide left right and centre.
That kind of thing is something that is to big for people to comprehend there’s a reason people are scared of the dark.

In the aftermath of the snap, it was absolutely terrible, everyone lost someone they knew but some of the avengers survived and relayed what basically happened.

But life continued on.

Even when Graviton was ripping up Chicago the moment the SHIELD team arrived in the Zephyr they blared over the radio/loud speakers who they were and were here to help.

People are desperate to believe in heroes, heroes that will save them.
