35. "Did other problems cease to exist because WWII did? "

Nope. Some problems were solved in part because of the war, but your day to day problems still existed, did they not?

Sure, some things paled in comparison, but they still existed- and for those suffering through those problems, the existence of a much larger scale problem didn't change the difficulty of their immediate personal issue.

I don't think that's the case at all. Even after we got these massive, cosmic threats, we went back to smaller, street level threats. We got thanos and the snap, and then wound up with Hawkeye and an aspiring fan battling tracksuit gangsters and Kingpin on the streets of New York.

We're just seeing multiple conflicts on varying scales.

First it was "so and so wasn't

Not at all.

Other, lesser threats or problems don't necessarily cease to exist because a greater one does. ANd in many respects, in these movies, those larger scale issues reshuffle the deck.

Status quos change
Heroes change
Some people gained, others lost, be it power or loved ones

Shit, Asgard is now a small town in Oklahoma, instead of the sprawling, fantastical landscape it once was.

Peter's whole world was upended, and he lost his entire support system.

The list goes on. Those smaller problems exist, even though half the universe was murdered in the snap of a finger. The ramifications of the films we got this year, will be felt down the line.
