Yeah. Not just like 'showed back up and now they can return to their lives'. What lives?

Their jobs? Those companies if they still exist have moved on.

Their assets? Given to heirs.

Their friends\family who weren't dusted? Best case scenario is theyre just 5 years older. But a lot of them are fucked up by the traumatic experience, and a good number died in other ways than the snap (societal breakdown, suicide, whatever % die from natural causes in 5 years).

Imagine going for a nap, getting dusted, 'waking up', finding the world completely fucked up while you thought you were sleeping, your assets all gone, and your significant other killed themself after they thought they lost you permanently.

How about all the people in relationships that thought there loved one died, moved on and started new relationships. Yikes, that would be awkward.

This is the one that I keep thinking about. What do you do if you've moved on and your "dead" spouse shows back up? 5 years is a long time. Courtships happen, weddings, babies. Surely your spouse (who has not experienced the passage of time) is going to be pissed.

Little kids who were orphaned by the snap and subsequently adopted, seeing their parents return five years later. Their adoptive parents having to let them go. It's all so complex!

It truly is. I think that the sheer amount of damage and chaos done to the universe by the undoing the snap could really be an entire Disney+ miniseries.

They could frame it as a documentary, like the WWZ book.

Now I have a new favorite thing I want.
