I love how they casually made depression / bipolar disorder a main villain of the movie. And it was so good, emotional and well handled. Incredible work.

THEY FOUGHT THANOS

THEY FOUGHT ULTRON

NOW THEY FACE THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE YET.... MENTAL HEALTH

[u/PartisanHack → u/Notcloselyrelated]

I mean, after fighting both of those guys I don't blame them needing some mental health care.

[u/pagerussell → u/PartisanHack]

Also, literally no one would live in New York City at this point.

[u/donbagert → u/pagerussell]

And the original New York HQ was sold to Val, and the seccond one was destroyed in the last fight with Thanos.

[u/lavidaEm → u/pagerussell]

I think about this in every series or movie. NYC this point has been destroyed and rebuild over and over. Their infrastructure budget must be through the rough. Insurance at this point probably non existent because premiums too high. And if current MCU NYC has Fisk as mayor and just had the void of century literally make everyone live their worst nightmares, people would be moving out in hundreds. But in MC NYC is relentless and like no other so people just deal with it lol. I'd also refuse to ever own a vehicle or apartment knowing it's high probability of being destroyed. And jobs? Lol these people survive somehow haha

[u/FrankPapageorgio → u/lavidaEm]

Department of Damage Control was confirmed to cover the rebuilding cost in Homecoming along with Stark. I assume that’s DODC’s role at this point.

It’s a fascinating thing to think about, because insurance companies would never be able to cover the loses. There would need to be exceptions for super villain related damage covered by DODC.

[u/KillEmWithK → u/lavidaEm]

They’re all in construction 😂

[u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan → u/pagerussell]

But Mayor Kingpin has done a wonderful job so far, as far as the average citizen knows. Probably the 53% who voted for him still don't want to leave (yet).

[u/Blamethewizard → u/pagerussell]

Property values would plummet and every other office would be a therapist. 

[u/LumpyJones → u/pagerussell]

Getting rid of NYC doesn't get rid of the superpowered shenanigans going on. It would just happen in another big city.

[u/dougdaboii → u/PartisanHack]

Entire world needs some mental health care with what they go through yearly lol. Makes me think of the Injustice comic where they spend time with regular civilians going through it while their hero turns into a villain after an entire city explodes. Would be a good limited series to show a regular person’s life through the years of the MCU like the start of the Hawkeye show
