I love the Wu-Tang Clan. They’re musical geniuses who are one of the cornerstones of hip-hop. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad song from them. There is one thing though that I was thinking about this weekend.

In the show, Luke Cage, our hero stops a robbery at a convenience store. One of the people being held up is Method Man. A robber even stops to let him know how much he loves his music, because why wouldn’t you take the time to tell them that?

Now, we all know what happened with Thanos and his glove. He snapped his fingers and half of every world died. So, now with a flip of a simple coin, I’m going to figure out how many members of the Wu-Tang Clan weren’t snapped out of existence. My methodology is that if they get a tails, Thanos got them, as they both start with T. Science.

The RZA- Snapped

The GZA- Safe

Ghostface Killah- Safe

Method Man- Snapped

Raekwon- Safe

Inspectah Deck- Safe

Cappadonna- Snapped

U-God- Safe

Those aren’t bad odds, honestly. Only a third of their members are gone. I think the remaining six could put out a pretty good album about it. Let’s do this with some more bigger groups. Admittedly, the Spice Girls were the first ones that popped into my head so let’s start there.

Baby Spice- Snapped

Ginger Spice- Safe

Scary Spice- Safe

Sporty Spice- Snapped

Posh Spice- Safe

Okay, forty percent gone but there are fewer members so that’s to be expected. I was listening to the White Stripes earlier, so let’s see if they make it out.

Jack White- Snapped

Meg White- Snapped

Nope. That’s what you get for not having a bassist or anyone else to maintain your legacy. These are peanuts though. Let’s go big. The Polyphonic Spree who have at their height had about 27 members on stage. According to their Wikipedia page though they averaged about 21. After exhaustive coin flipping they lost about 10 members. Thanos smiled seeing that French hornist go.

I don’t know why mentioning French horns reminded me of Matt and Kim but let’s do them real quick.

Matt- Safe

Kim- Safe

At least one indie duo is safe. That’s good. How about a quick trio? The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Karen O- Snapped

Nick- Snapped

Brian- Snapped

Shit. One of my favorite bands gone like so much dust in the wind. Okay, last one, let’s see if she can survive.

Taylor Swift- Safe.

Thanos possible Swiftie? I have to stop this but I would like to take the time to point out how I felt like the MCU wasted a lot of potential storytelling with the Snap. Like for these musicians when they’re gone, who gets their royalties? Seemingly, their next of kin. But what happens when they come back?

The jump forward made sense for Endgame. But have a show that’s called something like Remnants or The Other Half and show their stories. It would be so interesting. Maybe I’ll write it into fanfiction.
