[MCU] How have the events of the past few years affected popular culture?

I'm talking about things like sitcoms, television dramas, popular novels, pop songs and the like.

Examples: The confirmed existence of aliens must have had *some* impact on the science fiction genre, right?

Likewise, learning that people with super powers exist in real life must have given television writers storyline ideas (like a cop show adding a recurring villain with telekinesis, or a sitcom starring a plucky office girl who gets into mischief thanks to her telepathy, and so on).

Has there been any impact of this sort?

Well, the Church of Thor has been gaining traction. They're mostly regarded as a bunch of fringe nutcases, but they look likely to get legal recognition as a religion. The man (god? alien?) himself refuses to answer questions about it, but there's a rumour he paid a visit to their headquarters in New Mexico shortly before a major electrical storm which caused quite a bit of damage.

There's been a lot of talk about sponsorship, but so far none of the Avengers have gone for it; the professional athletes are safe for now, although they're getting rather less recognition.

Superheroes are now one of the most popular gimmicks in the WWE.

The most interesting effect has been on the fashion industry. Several different labels have come out with superhero-inspired collections, and capes have come back in a big way.
