Avengers: Endgame saw Earth’s Mightiest Heroes succeed in reversing Thanos’ semi-apocalyptic finger snap in Avengers: Infinity War, resurrecting the half of the universe’s population that he killed five years later. It was depicted as a clear-cut victory in the movie, but there are a huge amount of negative effects that could come about from bringing everyone back like this.
Here’s an obvious one: what the heck happened to those traveling in planes when they were dusted – or “blipped,” as Spider-Man: Far From Home‘s terminology has it? Did they poof back in the air and then drop to the ground like Wile E. Coyote? Well, apparently not, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. He’s confirmed that those folks were safely resuscitated thanks to Smart Hulk’s, er, smarts.
“If people were in an airplane when they were dusted, they didn’t return at 35,000 feet. They didn’t fall to their deaths because Smart Hulk is smart, and when he snapped… You can wish for whatever you want and you can wish for everyone to come back safely. Done.”
This is a fair explanation, though Feige’s assertion that you can wish for whatever you want with the Infinity Gauntlet isn’t exactly true, as Hulk himself found out in Endgame. The film reveals that he tried to use his Snap to bring Black Widow back to life, too, after she was killed on Vormir. However, this wasn’t possible for some reason, something the Russos have previously explained.
The aforementioned Far From Home touched on a few other “hey, what about…?” type issues like this as well, including mentioning that some were made homeless by the Blip and children in school have to take the whole academic year again since they never completed it the first time. It remains to be seen whether future movies and TV shows will further explore the ramifications of Avengers: Endgame and the Blip, but it seems like a good bet that they will.

West Indies coach Floyd Reifer was disappointed by the performance of his team’s batsmen after the home side’s 59-run (DLS method) defeat to India in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the Indian bowlers at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, on Sunday (August 11). The Uttar Pradesh paceman picked up 4/31 in eight overs as India defeated hosts West Indies by 59 runs (DLS Method) in the second ODI of the three-match series.
The second ODI between India and West Indies will be a landmark one for the Windies opener Chris Gayle. The Jamaican will be turning out in his 300th ODI and is less than ten runs away from passing West Indies legend Brian Lara as the highest run scorer for West Indies in ODI cricket. In 299 matches, Gayle has scored 10,397 runs at an average of 37.80 and Lara, who also played 299 matches, scored 10,405 runs at an average of 40.48.
It seems like Shreyas Iyer has been auditioning for the role of middle-order batsman in the Indian team forever now. Although just 24 years of age, Iyer made his ODI debut back in 2017 as a 22 year old against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala and has an impressive average of 42 in seven ODI appearances till date.
The Queen’s Park Oval at Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago has a capacity of approximately 25000 and has hosted 67 ODIs – the maximum by any West Indian ground. 62 of these have yielded a result and there have been 5 no-results (one has been abandoned).
West Indies and India are set to face in the second One-Day International at Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad on Sunday (August 11). The first of the three ODIs was washed out by rain.
Openers Jeremy Solozano and Montcin Hodge continued their resistance for a while, before the latter was dismissed and Brandon King took charge.
Australia were 124 for two in their second innings, a lead of 189 runs, when the umpires abandoned play after lunch.
