The Blip is the entire 5 year event since it's a blip. I know Feige said the start is the Snap and the end is the Blip, but in the media themselves, they refer to it as "during the Blip".

Yeah, in IW/Endgame related material. However, that's supposed to be the mutant depowering in the comics, so maybe they don't want to officially use it here.

Because they couldn't just outright copy what the internet was doing and call it "the snap" so they called it something else, instead. Also, "the blip" is supposed to refer to everyone coming back.

If you stop and think about it, it's kind of a fourth wall break.

The name is a deliberate undersell. If you were to give a proper name to a mass extinction event of the Blip's magnitude, it would probably draw allusion to real-world tragedies. And that's just not appropriate for a story about an evil purple man from space who snaps people out of existence.

I hate to say it, but I agree with the decision to give it a minimizing name.

It seems plausible when I think of the dumb terms people come up with nowadays and I'm like, "Why the hell would you call [insert thing] that??"

people on earth never knew that it was from a snap.

anyway, calling it "the blip" is an understatement. half of the lives in universe are gone but it just a "blip"? that's disrespectful.

Honestly it bothers me more that people think that's what we call it in Japan. Some rando on Twitter claimed that and people just went with it.

Know what we call it in Japan? metoroidovania, Wikipedia, Steam, game news websites. That's the term we use. is actually an older name that covers a lot of types of action games. It doesn't mean Metroidvania.
