9 Marvel Cinematic Universe moments that could be used for ‘What If…?’

3. What if… the Snap?

After Thanos retrieved all six Infinity Stones, he snapped his fingers. His goal of exterminating half of the universe had been completed. This meant a lot of the heroes from all over disappeared. Among them were Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. Luckily, Tony Stark was able to figure out time travel. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, it was Tony Stark who snapped his fingers and set things right. That may not have been the case in every reality. What if Thanos’ snap was more calculated? What if he got rid of the big three like Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor?

Here’s some good news. Thanos may have underestimated some of the other MCU heroes. Shuri may have been one of the people to survive the Snap. Leaving her alive would have been a mistake. If Tony Stark could figure out time travel, it’s possible she could have, as well. It may have taken some time, but she certainly has the resources of Wakanda and the intellect to figure it out. There’s also a chance she could have made things worse. We’ve seen in multiple movies, comic books, and shows how messing with time travel could have terrible ramifications, including something as major as the destruction of an entire reality.
