12 MCU Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

6. Literally Everyone On That Train Will Have Serious Trust Issues - Captain Marvel

Imagine the scenario, you're a regular New Yorker, advancing in years who witnessed the Battle Of New York and heard about the New Mexico incident where an alien and a giant robot had a fight and caused masses of damage. That would be enough to make you paranoid about alien invasions, but what about those New Yorkers who were on a train about thirty years ago and witnessed a strange woman get on and beat the absolute living hell out of a surprisingly acrobatic old lady and then fire energy blasts out of her hands?

They would already have spent thirty years wondering which random strangers were going to start beating up old ladies or which old ladies were secret acrobatic ninjas. Or who was really an alien capable of firing energy out of their hands while looking suspiciously like humans. You see, for Captain Marvel, Nick Fury and the Skrull, the Secret Invasion was over, but for ANYONE who witnessed that whole exchange, it never ended.

And then when aliens started to invade again, those poor souls were forced to relive their trauma all over again. Which would definitely have been made worse when the weird alien who punched that sweet old lady on the train back in the 1990s turns up and everyone is just supposed to TRUST her now?!
