Avengers Endgame: 10 Unexpected Consequences To Reversing The Snap
7. What Happened To The Sokovia Accords?
Judging by the small glimpses we get of life five years after ’the snap heard around the world’, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff are no longer public enemy number one: he’s free to move around in public, she’s back in the old Avengers HQ directing traffic.
Nothing in Endgame indicates that there are any objections being raised to the use of superpowers or skills. The same is true of Banner in his new Hulk form - he’s able to rescue people from a burning building in the film’s new footage without anyone slapping a restraining order on him.
Then there’s the apparently frictionless resettlement in Norway of a still-significant number of Asgardian refugees, and the lack of political consequences to anyone working in those international and/or extraterrestrial operations that the Black Widow is trying to organise.
The implication is clear: their actions in fighting off yet another alien invasion, not to mention the stunning, tragic aftermath of their one failure, seem have rendered any outstanding charges against them irrelevant and any new charges pointless.
Perhaps it’s also a side effect of so many governments losing so many vital personnel so suddenly: people have to have priorities in global crises, after all.
Whatever the case, the Sokovia Accords are a political memory.
