No but seriously can we talk about the horrifying tragedy of William Kaplan in the MCU?

That child died. He's dead and no one is mourning him. He died and a stranger took over his body. He died and everyone's memory of him is being replaced by a different person. His parents don't know and even when they eventually find out they'll never be able to bury their son.

Do you think they're grieving him? Do you think, on some subconscious level, they know their child is gone? Do you think they feel guilty because for all they know they're just being selfish about "William's" memory loss? Do you think they'll be able to stop loving Billy, the child they've raised for the past three years, just because he's not really William? Do you think Billy will stop loving them just because he found his "real" family?

Do you think William will ever get to have some kind of memorial?
