Before it came out I expected Avengers: Endgame to show the dismal place the world became in the months after Avengers: Infinity War. Then, Ant-Man gets out of the Quantum Realm and they use knowledge of that to time travel back to change the past and undo the Blip.Avengers: Endgame turned out to be such a better film than I imagined, so I forgive them for keeping the Blip intact. But, yes, there would have been so much death and chaos in those early days and weeks following the Snap that people would be forever traumatized. Active pilots and drivers disappearing were mentioned above. Consider surgeons and medical staff disappearing mid-surgery. If caretakers for children or elderly vanished, it might be days before someone checked in on them. Consider parents losing young children and young children losing their parents -- these terrible tragedies happen every day, but the Blip would have multiplied them many times over.The Falcon and the Winter Soldier tried to address some of the fallout, but that show was dealing with so much other stuff it had little time to devote to it in depth. Other post-Blip shows and films have not really shown the aftereffects.[spoiler="Thunderbolts Spoiler"]Too bad they could not have built Bob's trauma off the Blip in some way, on top of his childhood trauma. Maybe his spouse and kid died indirectly from the Blip, like a suddenly-driverless car hits their car, killing them and severely injuring Bob. Then, five years later all the snapped people are brought back, bringing it all up again, but his family is still dead. He is still alone. This could lead into his spiral and drug addiction, and ultimately volunteering for the experiments.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
