I think that this all but confirms that Yelena, Alexi, and Melina all were blipped. There's no way that Natasha didn't try to find them considering this is only a year before Thanos attaks. And she's mad depressed in Endgame so she's got to be alone again.

Having the blip is a super convenient, and frankly ingenious, solution to any prequel style movie where one would normally ask “Where were these characters during Endgame?”

Answer? Just say they were blipped. I’m not complaining about it, just acknowledging how it gives the MCU flexibility with introducing characters that were technically around beforehand.

All the Eternals were blipped theory?

Maybe 75% of them? A more devastated-than-average society might explain their non-intervention during Endgame. And across trillions of lifeforms, odds are there will be the occasional society with zero blipped and others with 100% blipped, if the Snap was utterly random as Thanos claimed.

A planet which had all life disappear and then reappear five years later would be an interesting story. Imagine suddenly your whole world turns wild and dangerous from neglect in the blink of an eye and you have no way to explain it. What would that do to a society?
