# Talk:The Blip

Article consistently refers to the disintegration event as "the blip" when that only refers to the restoring of disintegration victims five years later. "The snap" is the instigating disintegration event and "the blip" refers only to the restoration of its victims. Will likely edit later with more time to reflect this reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:467C:2C60:6D87:E338:70C:74B5 (talk • contribs) 

It sounds like you haven't actually read the article. See this source. It is established that, despite what Kevin Feige may have said, both events are referred to in-universe as "the Blip". This discussion may also be useful. IronManCap (talk) 12:40, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
I concur entirely with IronManCap. The title and scope are correct as is. BD2412 T 16:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

I've heard that Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel survived the Blip, but she isn't listed on the survivors list. 98.165.84.45 (talk) 04:04, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Source? InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Should the Eternals be listed as survivors at all? According to the source article on their status (Eisenberg, Eric (November 9, 2021). "Did Any Eternals Get Blipped By Thanos? Chloé Zhao Has A Fascinating Answer". CinemaBlend. Archived from the original on November 10, 2021. Retrieved November 9, 2021.), they could not have been blipped because they are artificial beings. I think that rather than listing them as survivors, we should have a section noting that they were never at risk of being blipped. BD2412 T 04:57, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Well, the technical definition of "survive" is "continue to exist", which is what happened to the Eternals when the Blip happened. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, but they are kind of robots. Technically they survived in the way that they could never have been subject to the Blip. Listing them as survivors but then stating that they are artificial and so couldn't have been blipped, seems sufficient to me.
But that's just my opinion. No offense meant. Sorry if this is not within talk guidelines Bucky winter soldier (talk) 22:11, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
That was my thinking as well. It's sort of like saying that a toaster survived the Blip. BD2412 T 22:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
We do already note in the Survivors section "The Eternals also survived the Blip because they were artificial, not biological, beings.", so potentially just stating the Eternals names there rather than in the bulleted list could be an option, though I'm not sure if that is a clarification that ought to be made outright.

I would agree with that, and it would save us from having to recycle the reference. BD2412 T 22:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
I have implemented this. It's a little bit awkward, because they introduced so damn many of them in that one movie, but I still consider this an improvement. BD2412 T 22:43, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Great! That works for me. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:44, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Fine by me, but the WP:SCAREQUOTES should be removed. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
I have teased out the explanation a bit more. BD2412 T 23:16, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
That works. Great!😁 Bucky winter soldier (talk) 23:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Punisher near the end Season 2 takes place during the Blip according to this website https://www.primetimer.com/features/fan-theory-about-the-punisher-surviving-the-blip-#:~:text=A%20typical%20fan%20theory%20is,epilogue%2C%20which%20runs%20August%202018.

That is clearly only a theory and is not reliable. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 02:34, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
