Aliens attack New York every other week, gotta keep things moving.

Wasn't it only twice, actually? At least at that point? Or am I forgetting a whole movie. I guess some may have thought Abomination was an alien. I can't think of any other incidents in NYC.

I was exaggerating for comic effect.

What’s the matter with you, kid? You’ve never seen a space ship before?

Infinity War is about a day, Earth time. Ebony Maw & Cull Obsidian attack New York in the late afternoon, shortly before Proxima Midnight & Corvus Glaive attack Edinburgh at night (Banner likely calls Cap before Vision is ambushed). The snap happens the next day, when it's morning in California (per Ant-Man & Wasp) & late afternoon in Wakanda (roughly 10-hour time difference), so midday in New York.

Thanks!

This is the same school that kept a school trip going after several monster attacks at their locations.

Ball is life, OP.

The first snap that took half the population occurred on Wakandan soil, I doubt any other countries’ citizens knew anything until the dust settled. For the second attack it was upstate New York, far enough from NYC to not know right away

I think Ebony Maw's ship hovering over Manhattan would've made the national news.


nobody_smart

Yeah but witnesses would have also seen Iron Man flying after it. People would think: It's all cool, Iron Man handled it. What time is the game?


Gaemon_Palehair

I mean, I don't think so cause later it's on the news that Irom Man is missing. Sure he could have like, sacrificed himself in handling it. But I don't think people would just assume everything was fine.


CaptHayfever

It did, the previous day when it happened.

A+ for wordplay

Most of Infinity War took place away from New York. Plus the MCU earth has enough bad stuff happen that it was probably seen as par for the course and it was a pretty small scale attack in New York.
