So to recap my previous post:
I was looking for a list major and moderate battles in the MCU that would have been noticeable to everyday citizens of Earth. But the internets failed me. So I made my own. Spoilers ahead. (Note this list is a WIP - MCU is ever in motion).
And then I thought: maybe I should finally get around to updating this. And THEN I thought, wonder what this would look like by year?
And then this happened.
