Some actual "thinking too hard about this" thoughts about the aftermath of Endgame (do I have to say spoils?)

Posted by Reagen Apr 28 '19, 05:35

After the snapture, the world's economy would have collapsed almost immediately. Entire cities - possibly countries, would have been abandoned. tens, maybe hundreds of millions more would have died just as an after effect. Suicide would have been rampant. "Good news, your family survived the snap ... and then all died in the last five years."

Then, we snap back the half the population. There's going to be a hell of a famine coming for everyone, since in the five years since, the world's infrastructure would have ground down to only deal the half that's left. Now, half the livestock would be back too, but you don't turn that into food immediately. It's a hell of a crisis.

They sort of hint at the mess at the end, but what do you do with the people who've been gone for five years in terms of school, work, bank accounts, life insurance, etc. etc.? It's a bureaucratic nightmare.
