12 MCU Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

2. How The Hell Can Asgardians Integrate (And Lady Sif Has No Idea!!) - Thor: Ragnarok

Think about the way humans have traditionally reacted to alien invasions of Earth in the MCU. Thor's arrival made SHIELD develop old Nazi technology into weapons capable of killing Asgardians. The Chitauri destroyed New York and kicked up everyone's anxiety about not being alone in the galaxy. Ego's terraforming probably made everyone wonder what mysterious alien threat was going to secret kill them.

Look, the population has been through a lot and yet some of them were still very open-minded about superheroes and strange characters they could have no hope of understanding protecting them. But asking them to accept an entire community of the same race of aliens who kicked off the initial anxiety in the first place after their planet is destroyed? How could they ever hope to integrate? How could Korg and Miek do their weekly shop? There'd be crowd with pitch-forks in no time (it basically happened in the comics).

And what of Lady Sif. Since she wasn't involved in the Infinity Saga or Thor: Ragnarok, it was assumed that she was simply busy on a mission. Has anyone even told her where her people are? That there are survivors? Won't she be heading back to the smudge on the galaxy that used to be Asgard in blissful ignorance of literally anything that's gone on? How the hell is she going to cope with that?!
