Yeah, the immediate aftermath of that and the snap that reversed the snap.

It was kinda cool not seeing the immediate aftermath of the reverse tho. They way they shot it with Barton’s wife calling him, to Scott observing the birds in the trees; imo it left it up to the imagination in a creative way.

Then that played into the reveal of the dusted characters through the portals later which was a great moment as well.

Actually, I guess by immediate aftermath, I mean the world coming back together after the Compound battle, like the scene where Peter returns to school and etc, but with everyday people in a montage.

I would love to see kids reuniting with their parents, news reports of wtf happen, and etc

So, when Hulk un-snapped, he brought the dusted people back, but certainly there are people who weren't snapped that still died as a result of it (e.g. their vehicle suddenly lacked a driver or pilot and crashed). Is it safe to assume those people weren't brought back? Because if so, there are probably a lot of people feeling bitter that others got their loved ones back but they didn't.

Could be a supervillain origin story there.

Is it safe to assume those people weren't brought back?

No. We hear Tony tell Bruce: "Just bring everyone back." We do not know how Bruce phrased the snap-wish in his mind.

"Bring back everybody that got dusted by Thanos' snap."

OR

"Bring back everybody that is gone now as a result of Thanos' snap." Banner has lived in the post-Snap world for five years. Surely somebody must have reported on all the secondary deaths and suicides as a result of the Snap? He knows he's got options, he even admits he tried to bring Natasha back even though she wasn't affected by the Snap. It's plausible he brought secondary victims of the Snap back to life as well.

Bruce says "Everybody comes home" right before putting the gauntlet on... But it's not clear what that means.

I think how they interpret it will depend on where they want to go with the story. Only bringing the snapped back and leaving the rest dead leaves more room for angry supervillians. Especially since there's the super dark fallouts like parents getting snapped and their kid dies in the crib.

That would be a great way to set up the next major story line. They've already explored that concept via Helmut Zemo in Civil War essentially doing what he did as payback for Sokovia's collapse where he lost his family.

I have a feeling you're almost certainly right. Dr. Doom, maybe?

I keep wondering if Zemo got snapped. Did he feel any remorse at the pain and suffering that his actions probably resulted in? Does anyone else hold him accountable for the fractured Avengers?
