Falcon and Winter Soldier spoilers..




The flag smashers seem to point to the world opening its borders and allowing people into empty houses and such. The problem was when everyone returned. The returned got their property back regardless of transactions or events of the last five years.

But looking deeper how could anyone recover. How would religion explain another god? Thanos was by all definition a god.
Thor is too.
But the world has to be wrecked. Aliens are real, the government had a nazi sleeper cell running half of intelligence, countless near end of world events. All in fifteen or so years. On top of all that. Half the world leaves and comes back five years later.

I almost want a sitcom about a guy who spends two years grieving the love of his life and kids who were snapped only to find someone new and start a family and then BAM wife and kids are back and in the same house.


Lastly How many people you think were on planes and boats and on highways when they came back?

Did people who died as a result of People being snapped come back? If your pilot was snapped leading to your death would you have returned? Probably not.

It would suck so bad to live in that universe.

The people in that photo are ok as long as they don't look down.

The dust that constituted their bodies is not still in the sky. They reformed from their dust, which undoubtedly had fallen to the ground. As long as they weren’t over water at the time, then it becomes tricky.

I'm not sure the law of conservation of mass/energy applies...

I just can’t quite wrap my head around bringing everyone back from 5 years ago regardless.

There had to be a few rapists, murderers or otherwise assholes who got snapped. Their victims have had 5 years of peace. Now their assailants are back.

No sitcom needed. Watch Castaway.

It definitely wouldn't happen like that in real life. If their property wasn't paid off, the creditors would have repossessed it and sold it off to someone else.

No way the people who returned would get everything back regardless of the transactions that occurred in the intervening 5 years.

I love the snap and the ramifications (flag smashers garbage asses aside)

That's what makes Thanos such a damn good villain. Like G.O.A.T villain alongside Ledger's Joker

What? So it matters where their actual dust ended up? And in 5 years no one vacuumed anywhere?

Not a sitcom, but that's the whole premise of Manifest.

It really makes Tony Stark out as a colossal dick. Why not reset everything To right after killing original Thanos and keep His daughter and knowledge Of those 5 years for himself?

So what happens if a small gust of wind during those five years comes along and splits up their dust? They snap back half over there and half over here?

The reason they had to bring everybody back 5 years into the future is because at that point in time Thanos was dead. If they brought everybody back 5 years retro Thanos would know they undid his snap.

The plan was to get the stones, undo the snap 5 years in the future, then return the stones back to their timeline so Thanos never figures it out. Obviously that went sideways because of Nebula.

Pretty sure that Hulk's snap wish had multiple subsections and codicils to take care of all instances that would preclude the safe return of any snapee.
quote:

Individuals who were removed from reality as a result of the Thanos snap will be returned in the following manner:

1) All individuals will be returned to a physical place and point in time where they are
---a) in no danger of physical or mental harm due to said placement and time.
---b) will not impose physical or mental harm on others due to said placement and time
---c) as geographically close to their point of departure as possible, or in the case of snappees in the process of travel...

Am I correct in understanding that the government didn't know the Avengers were planning on trying to get the stones and bring everyone back?

Imagine living on another planet, where you have no knowledge of Thanos or the Avengers, and half of your population vanished inexplicably for five years.

Oh yeah. They made their snap wish without consulting any government on any of the infinite world populations that they reconfigured.

This is what the film About Time did so well. It really showed the danger of time travel and the lives that you delete and start by interacting with the past.

And Stark would have been a much bigger dick if he had told Banner to keep his daughter alive but kill off all of the other children in the universe who were born in the past five years.

Lol whut? Pretty sure Monica reformed back into the exact same hospital chair she was in when she got dusted. Fair chance the dust would have been vacuumed up.

I’m more curious about the people driving vehicles that got dusted and got into crashes and killed other people. No way that didn’t happen.
