A Fan Theory Tries to Explain the Reason Why MCU Has Felt a Bit off SinceAvengers: Endgame
Keanu Reevesled the 1999 science fiction actionThe Matrix, which explored a computer-generated dream world designed to keep humans under control by effectively pushing them to live a virtual life.
Now back to the MCU. The reason behind everything seeming a bit off in the franchise could be due to the same false reality. And this was supposedly the final act of Thanos before his Stones were taken away from him.
A Reddit user titledMinimum_Virus_3837commented:
“Everything since the snap is a false reality created by Thanos to keep the universe in line Matrix-style. We’re actually all his mindless slaves under his control.”
There’s not much to comment on the sensibility of this theory. However, we do hope that akin to Neo inThe Matrixsomeone wakes up and does something to bring this “reality” down.
