- No spoilers in this. In Infinity War, Thanos wiped out half of all life to "save life", but how would that work out in the real world? No Endgame, no resolution. What is the aftermath for Earth if half of life died in an instant?

@@isaacthered only 99.8%?! were still screwed
Hmm now that I think about it SCREW the infinity gauntlet when U have CORONA
Yeah I feel like not that much people would die well I mean a lot but not half maybe like a quarter or so because we ain’t thinking about trees animals or bugs which there are a lot more bugs than people
And Thanos says he’s a hero, just imagine what he did to so many other planets
Thanos was honestly nuts and butthurt, I know thats the way the Avengers arch was supposed to work so, you know the movies were what they are but if you literally have the 6 pillars of the whole universe you can pretty much play God and fix everything and anything.

That would be perfectly balanced, would it not? It you kill half, then the scales are rebalanced when the other half dies off.
This really wouldn't be the case, insects would still reproduce quickly and eat the corpses that died of starvation. Though, they won't be at the numbers they once were due to the plan life gone.

I wonder, a part two to this where everyone comes back all of a sudden like at the end of Endgame. That would probably also have ramifications to it wouldn't it?
Falcon and The Winter Soldier deals with this.
Duh? Just request a part 2 "The Blip: The Miracle Reverse" ? Idk
People coming back would be a disaster, people have moved on and started over, gotten older, kids are no longer kids, some parents or others have died in the years that have passed leaving the returning people with nobody.
Suddenly regions have twice as many people which effects resources, leaders of nations come back and find they are no longer in charge, wars could erupt over power struggles.
People that had jobs would not have them as they are listed as dead or those businesses went under when half their employees disappeared. Houses would be condemned or demolished, millions would be homeless.
What is the snap and the blip happened at the time they did in the MCU
@@WizelBalan Exactly. It was far too big an idea for Marvel to pull off with any satisfying answers. In Far From Home those implications are not so much glossed as they are steamrolled over. Feige and the Russo’s didn’t want to invalidate Infinity War by changing the timeline but honestly it feels like they’re pretending the snap never happened anyway 😂
Many people forget that Thanos is called the MAD Titan. Everyone knows he's insane. His plans are insane. The guy's crazy.
His genes literally come from genocidal monsters
“hey mom, i just wiped out an entire species”
Who forgot this? Comic readers didn't and movie goers were exposed to that moniker, used disparagingly, what? One time in one movie in a decade of movies?
He dismissed it himself and claimed he wasn't when he showed his origins on Titan.
He isn't mad, he just wants to rail Lady Death like there is no tomorrow.
A culling isn't a solution, it's a stopgap. He's not mad, he's just stupid. And if we listen to Kevin Feige, Thanos is *even stupider.* If the Avengers wanted to stop him, all they had to do was get him in front of a mirror and he'd have eventually picked a fight with "that purple guy over there." They could have put a ring of twigs on the ground around him and he'd have thought he was trapped. If they threw a blanket over his head he'd have assumed it was night time and fallen asleep. Play a never-ending loop of The Big Bang Theory's theme song on their phone and he'd sit there waiting for the episode to start until he starved to death.
No, it would have be great if he was mad. Say, insane enough to murder half of existence to try and impress the abstract concept of death--just spitballing here. But no. They gave him a rationale, and I spend the entire film wondering why the hell anyone follows him, because they made a lot of noise about him being powerful and a threat, but just like calling him "the mad titan", all it seemed to be was lip service. "Purple man stronk--he punch good" is about all we got, and this does not a vast army gather, let alone hold. That's even assuming he was able to string enough words together into a believable coherent imitation of speech to get people to follow him in the first place.
"'Purple man using stones' will never a theory"

@@gemfloatsh2580 There's only so much space in the universe.
As long as populations keep growing you'll *eventually* have to start killing people anyway.
@@alansmithee419 universe is expanding faster than light why would universe run out of space
@@giantcrack8079 Ok, true, but that only serves to complicate the problem rather than fix it.
There are populations all over the universe in the MCU, if we assume the universe is homogenous we can say that the whole universe contains a spread of civilisations all across it. Each of these will expand outward in a sphere centred on their planet of origin (or at least we can make that assumption). Eventually these spheres will meet, and the whole universe will be filled, no matter its size (could even be infinite - there would just be an infinite number of civilisations) or expansion rate.
There are some more practical problems. Even assuming there's only one civilisation in the universe you still find it to be near impossible:
Populations grow exponentially; the volume of a sphere grows polynomially. This means that without cutting off the population growth (by killing people or enforcing birth control laws - two things most first world societies are incredibly averse to) a civilisation will need to start expanding its borders at an exponential rate (an exponential divided by a polynomial is still exponential). So essentially you would need some kind of warp technology developing fast enough to allow its maximum velocity to outpace the space requirements for continued existence of life. This will likely require exponentially more energy to keep warp vessels running at these higher speeds. To prevent this energy from forming gravitational fields that will collapse into a black hole you'll need to start building exponentially bigger and bigger vessels, and after that also less and less dense vessels (large black holes have less effective density than small ones - the largest are less dense than air), eventually becoming so sparse that no-one can stand in them.
Even if you somehow avoid all those problems you still have to hope that the required expansion of your civilisation is slower than the expansion of the universe - which is itself an exponential - the limit is doubling in size (eight times the volume) every 12.2 billion years. So, if your civilisation grows faster than eight times every 12.2billion years (incredibly slowly - we've done that over the past 200 years or so) you're completely screwed.
Tl;dr: you're right, but it doesn't help.
Thanos' original motivation, and completely lack of caring about the aftermath, in the comics make a lot more sense compared to his movie counterpart.
He didn't think he was a hero...
He was trying to get laid.
That's a motive I can get behind
Worst case of coombrain in history... so far.
@@Chemical_Agent4340Worst part is:

@@SaraNightfire1Understandably so to be fair, firstly he interfered with a atrocious number of people's intended deaths and she's the one who has to sort through all those deaths all at once.
That backlog is never being cleared, countless souls now stuck indefinitely in place and unable to pass on.
It also doesnt help that the way he executed his plan is possibly THE dumbest way he could have done it without exception lmao. Guess what dumbass? If you eliminate half of all life to 'fix' a resource shortage, you not only eliminated people, crops and animals, but you COMPLETELY REMOVED that material from the universe! It is the same exact problem except half as big and way more chaotic! Nice job scrotum face
As Thanos prepares to snap his fingers, a lone man in a black ball cap shouts out,
"You should really make it half of all *sentient* life."
Thanos pauses
"Good point!"
Thanos snaps his fingers, and as he fades away, the human man says;
"This has been Cody, from Alternate History Hub."

@@vladutcornel Plants and bacteria aren't
*sapient
@@sleep3417 No, but I would prefer to turn to dust instead of turning vegetarian.
☝🏻 Yeah fuck that. Plants are the food that food eats!
This is why, despite what Thanos said, it was never about balance. The snap was his way of punishing a universe that wouldn't consider his plan because it was barbaric by any logical metric. I think that at some level, he was aware of this, but simply didn't care anymore.
I'm so glad someone addressed the food situation. I'm a farmer in Pennsylvania. When I heard "Half of all life" I knew it was different than "Half of all *sentient* life" and the ramifications of half of all crops disappearing
I'm not a biologist but I thought about what would happen to the ecosystem and symbiosis of the very smallest life. If half of all life is gone, then ALL large multi-cellular life would die. Half of life gone means half of microbes dies. It would upset the ecological symbiosis between unicellular life and multicellular life to collapse. There is a saying that bacteria don't need us to survive but we need bacteria to survive. If half of the bacteria in our bodies are gone, my guess is that we would all be dead in a matter of hours or even minutes. Those who survive would have to be so lucky that the probability of most of his inner bacteria were not snapped away to a point below the critical threshold. What are the odds? 50% to the power of millions and billions would give a percentage so low that if multiplied by the sum total population of all humans, or even all big multicellular organisms, would still be less than 1. So mathematically speaking, we would are be doomed.
I still assume it’s sentinent life. But plants and animals are included because of aliens like Groot and rocket. Those can get snapped in other planents but we didn’t see trees in Wakanda being dusted
@@user-fd3ld9qc7dholy cow I never thought of that 😨 that just make the snap even more horrifying
But I believe he truly did only kill half of all sentient/intelligent life, we saw this throughout the movie when he went planet to planet killing half of the dominant population before leaving. He didn't stop and begin burning down half of all crops, killing half of all livestock, followed by half of all wildlife; his intent was only to kill those that mattered to leave an abundance for the remaining population.
As a modern day farmer you know that farming today doesn't require much manpower as it used to aka a single farmer with the right equipment can grow and harvest as many crops in a season as thousands of farmers back in the day would, meaning if half of all farmers disappeared but all their crops stayed intact the remaining farmers would be able to give the world just as much food as we had before the snap while having half the amount of mouths to feed.
I still want to see this what if
The crazy thing is, the universe is a big place. How do you know there's not a big angry purple guy out there collecting funny colored stones and is about to do this?

Infinity war summary: single dad tries to end world hunger with his rock collection

But he dusted half there food source so there still going to be just as hungry
"The measure of a man is what he does with power".
- Plato.
Power does not corrupt, it reveals.
woMan
Feige is wrong on this one because in the scene in wakanda and on Hawkeyes farm you never see trees or grass get snapped. Thanos mostly likely meant sentient life and more specifically the dominant life that has higher reasoning on planets. The stones can interpret the users wishes and if Thanos was worried about supply problems why would he remove supply from planets.
Yes. Feige was talking out of his ass, the story was about political control and sentient races competing for resources. Feige may have been imagining that the plants & animals died but he failed to show it in other ways too, as humanity (almost all the sentients shown in the film are human) didn't all immediately get extremely sick as all the gut biome and other living creatures in their bodies immediately dies. The necrotic shock will most likely kill many normal humans.
He said life, not intelligent life. The movies mean nothing in this scenario.
We also see half the plants in Thanos' farm have died
Let's also consider it would not be literally half of everything. In the film all 6 Avengers are saved but nearly all the Gaurdians get snaped. Therefore the groups dont die by 50%. Based on the movie math......90% of plant life might exist but 90% of fish might die.
.
This video is great but it also assumes 50% of farmers would die when that might not be the case. Randomly only 30% might die and scientist might have the higher death rate. 50% of all life in the universe doesnt mean every microcosm will be divided by 50%. You could have more spiders die while most snakes live
@@Jellofreeze law of averages pretty much makes all of that a moot point. On such a massive scale, you'd expect the trend to hold wherever you look. He didn't snap for a 50-50 chance a living thing would die, he snapped to eliminate 50%. The difference is small but meaningful as the first option allows for exceedingly rare scenarios where the snap kills all life or none and also allows for situations like you mention.
thanos: kills half the population bc they're using up too many resources
also thanos: *kills resources*
it is clear in the movies that plants and livestock are never affected by thanos snap. It wouldve been obvious in the wakanda scene when everyone else is getting dusted.
Matthew Bergeron but that doesn’t make any sense. He would have specified “half of humanity” then. And not only did the snap clearly impact earth’s “main species”, but Captain Marvel clearly said that they weren’t the only ones dealing with the snap’s changes, so that wouldn’t be possible, either.
If thanos also killed half the resources, it would be a completely useless snap...only in the very long time scale it would actually have some benefits, as there's new land area to farm, and there's still the same amounts of minerals and ores left.
Rey Nemaattori which is why the idea makes absolutely no sense. Because with his wording, he would have taken out half of all living things, not just the people. Also, why would he also take away the animals, as well? They contribute to the ecosystem and if half of them are gone, then that destroys the environment especially if half the plants didn’t go.
@@cherryfries623 I thought it was clear that thanks snap was really dumb... Not only about snapping resources or not but about the fact that we can see modern society are often in a state no or negative growth of the population
Imagine all the people that would have committed suicide after the snap because their family got dusted.
sksk sksk Mass suicide would be huge.
And then the people that keep us safe get snapped? Examples are bus drivers, pilots, firefighters. Like, a lot more people would die then.
not to mention thanos caused the death of hundreds of people before the snap by trying to get the stones
*SPOILER ALERT FOR ENDGAME*
I wonder if the people that died by either suicide or just by an accident caused by the dusting (like a plane crashing) came back after the de-snaping that happened in the Endgame
Nice
To be fair, Thanos’ snap was to cull 50% of life *in the universe*. Therefore, humanity could be totally wiped out or completely unaffected by this.
true, but theres just so much life to put up to a coinflip that statistically the chances are almost impossible that even 49% or 51% got dusted
but yeah some planets mustve got very fucked
but again, the he would probably prefer half the life from each planet getting dusted, so that it's more in proportion but thats just my take(i kinda dont like the idea of some planets being unaffected and others being fully wiped out)
Well, it's been stated that Thanos' Snap affected 50% of each species. So regardless, 50% of humanity was affected
yeah, with that in mind i imagine how in the universe planets and or galactic societies will probably be affected as well, like having planets depending on one power house of a planet or two just for it fall apart because of the snap.

She dates deadpool, there's hijinks, yaddie yaddie yadda...The whole DeathxThanos thing happens alot and in the story 'Thanos: The End' he manages to 'get' death (spoilers ahead) by killing everything in the universe except the Cosmic Ghost Rider (who is the punisher) and the Hulk (which he keeps as a pet).

No, Kevin was being an idiot when he made that statement that plants die too. He later retracted the statement. It is only the animal life, as seen when the plants in Wakanda are still alive, and the stones (Which are sentient) are also still alive.
Still that’s half the livestock population, maybe not as bad as the plant thing, half of the meat production disappearing isn’t going to the help with food production.

I just saw a video by Allen Tsai that said that in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie it says that Gamora was the last surviving member of her species. Assuming that this is true, that means that when Thanos says that “The children born [there] know nothing but full bellies and clear skies,” he hasn’t actually gone back to check if his plan has worked he just assumed everything went fine and that he’s totally right.
I love how Feige immediately made this utter apocalyptic disaster immediately impossible to survive by not limiting to just sapiant species. Like, with a little self-control the world would actually make some level of sense to survive for five years.

Well a lot of animals are already going extinct.... what I'm wondering is.... if there is 1 left of a certain species... does it go away with the snap? As an ecologist, i can tell you that, yea, extinction is inevitable, because of climate change and loss of habitat. The snap only exacerbates it. Plants though, well within a generation perhaps 40% of the plants will come back. We have seed banks and farmers are generally good at keeping a store of seeds (unless it is certain Monsanto seeds, those you have to buy every year).
Another issue is that if he just wiped out half of all humans, within a generation or two, the population will be back to where it was. Just look at the population boom after WWII
In the movie the trees don't disappear. And Thanos is only seen killing half the population. And they say that's his goal in the movie. So plants are unaffected.
Thanos: snaps half of all life away
*Goes to his farm to rest but half of his crops are dusted*

You need to make one about what it would be like for everyone to come back 5 years later
After 1 month the 3.5 blipped people starve to death, as the infrastructure to feed them decayed for 5 years. After that month there is a sudden increase in available food, at least until all the corpses rot at which point you have diseases beyond counting that wipe out much of the remaining population.

10:20 You just described one of the features of feudalism. People who's lives had been destroyed by war joined an army because the troops got fed in a vicious feedback loop. During times of war an army was actually the safest place to be.
It would also have an extreme effect psychologically as well physically, even if everyone was eventually restored. Knowing that at any time half of humanity can be wiped out and that no one could see it coming, let alone stop it, would completely destroys any perception of humanity’s security in the universe. Everyone would have the same thought in the back of there head, ‘this can happen again’

@@coemcoem7070 The resources come back too, but there's no means to cultivate and distribute them. Supply chains have crumbled and adjusted to the smaller supply. The people who just returned don't understand what happened and why the world is suddenly in utter chaos, so they can't exactly just go back to work.
I thought they were able to rewind time back to before the snap even happened so all the resources and people were intact as if nothing happened when Iron Man snapped his fingers.
@@spaceballs44 No, they explicitly said they *won't* do that because this would undo people being born and so on in the intervening time. Maybe they could have, but they decided against it.
Imagine there’s a cheerleading group doing a huge pyramid and one of the bottom girl fades and the top girl falls and breaks her neck and it would have been an extra death with the other extra deaths 😂
I love your dark sense of humor
This comment is great
You unknowingly hit the nail on the head...the modern world is so interconnected that even a 10% snap can mean that the whole pyramid would likely collapse...a 50% loss would make society/the pyramid end.
Predicting how something like this would affect the real world is kinda hard, some states might only be a little bit affected, while others are basically destroyed, you can’t really tell which parts of the world are considered “the half”
Endgame seems to retcon out the "50% of plants" part.
Maybe he meant sentient plants, after all Groot got snapped.
I honestly think whoever said plants were included, was just plain wrong. It wouldn't make sense anyone, as a I rambled about in my comment earlier
@@hallowjupiter6305 Is groot not a plant then?
@@Giantnyaloka he's sentient
When they bring everyone back, you can hear birds and see trees appear out of nowhere... But yeah, I think removing plants makes no sense.
Gonna suck if you have a dust allergy even if you live the snap.
The dust disappears.
That’s me right there
Fucking dust mites
especially if you were pegrnant
Hell, this is accurate even with the world shutting down because of the pandemic. Sure, it’s a lot of hyperbole to consider a few million dying on the same scale as half of all life dying, but it would take a lot less than half of all life dying to shut down what we’ve worked so hard to build.
This video just shows how scary was the MCU universe when Thanos snapped, Captain Marvel actually had an excuse to not been on Earth
Imagine trillions of societies in pure havoc and confusion regarding what in the actual shit just happened, empires falling, genocide, fear of their gods, depression and even suicide for not understanding
Its very likely that even after Tony snapped back the universe, in 5 years millions of species have been long gone, and the ones who returned will share the same fate of an abandoned and extinct society and loved ones
Damn thats dark
Actually, Bruce snapped back the universe. Not Tony. Tony just snapped away Thanos and his men in that particular fight. Also, plants and crops weren't wiped out, that's just a "this video" thing, not cannon he got it wrong there.
@@sageseeker9197 plants would be, remember it's all living things in the universe
@@brade7022 This contradicts what was shown. Otherwise half the forest and grassland at infinity war would go too.
It sounds correct, it really does. It probably isnt however, it was most likely either
A. Blindspot. Thanos just forgot literally everything else existed.
B. (Probably more likely), Thanos likely specified sentient life, due to their ability to manipulate large ecosystems and landscapes and plays back into his backstory.
There are probably a large number of variations in between or something even more unique but yeah no, it did not include plants.
Edit: So apparently the video states otherwise via Word of God from Kevin. But my point not only stands, but it is a little unfortunate because it would have been just as cool to see half of ecosystems just go. Like, yikes that is a big plot hole but whatever if Kevin said so but doesn’t wanna show us, then I am inclined to believe he is wrong, either by omission or by clearly missing a big part of the picture.

I don't think Kevin Feige was right about the plants, you don't see any of the trees in Wakanda being dusted.
Edit: Yeah he confirmed he wasn't thinking when he said that.
It’s random so technically all those trees were randomly chosen to survive. I’m sure somewhere a group of people on some planet were untouched but their entire stock of resources got snapped, thus killing them in a weeks time.
@@AzeKannagi but that still doesn't make sense considering Thanos' goals. He wanted to make resources more abundant and effective for intelligent life so they didn't all die from starvation. Taking away half of all resources directly counters Thanos' goals.
Oh, I beg to differ. We saw one tree get dusted. Groot. Poor Groot...
Maybe they just wither?
I think its stupid how that is even a theory, thanos' plan all together is just halving population if he were to half basically all of the food supply his entire plan would make no sense
Imagine Thanos coming home to his farm only to realize that he snapped away half of it
If you are snapping half of all life, including food, doesn't that just put you back where you started? Like if you were to double the resources, that would double us as well because we are food to something as well.
"With infinite god-like power I could: A) Improve access to scarce resources e.g. double them + spread'em about B) Modify sapient entities to require and use fewer resources C) Exterminate life on an unprecedented scale with no consideration given to the consequences..."

@@totemictoad4691 You seem like the kind of fellow who would appreciate Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur here on UA-cam.
Imagine if in a little village nobody died for the snap. They will be like "Oh that happened"
That’s the thing with the snap, was it half of life on each planet? Because in theory some planets would lose almost if not all and others wouldn’t lose anything.
That has to be a very small village for that event to be somewhat likely. Yes, I like chance and yes, Im fun at parties.
@EnterTextHere_ maybe a perfect half of all the species died (half of human, half of cats, half of oak)
@EnterTextHere_ If it's 50% of ALL life wouldn't a vast majority of the deaths be bacteria.
When the FBI finds your google searches. Yes I think almost all of that 50% would be insects, and bacteria alone
Phytoplankton actually produce about 70% of the world’s O2, but since they’re alive, they still get halved and the planet’s O2 production plummeted. It just means that a ton of fish die from oxygen deprivation in the ocean.
Makes me wonder how we'd fare if the 'snap percentage' was a different value. Like, how would things be different if 25% of life disappeared? 10%? I also wonder what sorts of geopolitical consequences would occur if the snap had an uneven distribution - i.e. one country loses more than half its population while another area loses much fewer than half.
In subsets of 100000s to millions or billions, a random removal of half that subset doesnt allow for the overall range of removals to be significant. Where the range of effect can be wide is not in numbers of a particular country's losses, but the significance.

Kevin Feige never said Thanos wiped out plants. He only said the Snap dusted half of people and animals (and their equivalents on other planets). Even looking at Infinity War, there are no plants vanishing. If there were, we would have seen it, since Wakanda is in the middle of an African grassland. And in Endgame (which I’m aware came out after this video), there aren’t any massive bare patches where plants used to be, even before the five-year time jump.

after this video, I think I can understand how T’Challa convinced Thanos to stop in that What If episode
I know it’ll never happen, but I would love to see a follow up to this video detailing how the Blip would work. I feel like it would be much more destructive once everyone settled after the Snap
I mean, Thanos is called "The Mad Titan" for a reason. This scenario just proved that name correct.
In the MCU after Endgame you can call him The Imbecil Titan. Only an Idiot would create the weapon of ultimate power, became an omnipotent being and after wipe out half the life in the universe destroy it and make himself defenseless and helpless before his enemies. Say whatever you want about Palpatine outsourcing and micromanaging everything but be that stupid he never was not.
So with this aftermath scenario, the comic book reasons for him doing this would actually make more sense than the MCU reason. After all, if you want to impresses Death, this would get her attention for sure.
@@LadyLarkAvin Hollywood movies are not allowed to enter metaphysical realms beyond the range of cheap jump scares. Even Mythological entities as Thor are not even recognized as Gods and instead are declared Aliens because Studios are Prophets of Materialism.

I'd like to think there would be at least 2 separate universes after the snap: one where half was dusted, while the other one where the other half was dusted.

This is why his motivations in the comic makes more sense. He kills half of all life simply because he wanted to satisfy Death not for some misconstrued goal to save life.
You know, I always wondered how specific the snap is supposed to be.
Like, does it specifically dust half of every continent, or half of every city, or is it just random in the entire planet. Does it snap half of every specie?
Even though it's unlikely there is *still* a possiblity that all the insects on earth are snapped and everything else is unaffected, or that an entire nation would vanish while only a few hundred people disappear from another.

I can understand the government not wanting to believe it for some time, but not denying it until its too late
I wish we could see a version of this where only half of intelligent live is snapped. That seems like a much more interesting scenario to explore.
Thanks for making this, I didn't think the movies covered this enough
Most of the predictions don't make sense. The snap kills half of ALL life, not half of every species, lifeform, country etc. Since wildlife only makes up 4% of all mammals on earth, the odds of half of wildlife disappearing are close to zero. That's like 8th grade mathematics.
You mean the kiddie movies meant for kids didnt cover the ramifications of a kiddie scenario in the world enough?
If the snap happened, I think preventing extinction of endangered species would be last on the list of priorities.
Yes, Thanos is a Psychopath but in infinity war we can see that he really cares about nature, preserving animals and plants would be his top tier preocupation
:P LMAO spoiler alert
Uh what
Actually, in any situation in which the endangered species is an apex predator, it would be Vitally important to ensure that they would not go extinct, lest the entire food chain in that region experience a catastrophic collapse

one thing is, 50% of life is killed, but, think about this, like, imagine there were 3 people, 50% of life dies in all of the world, meaning 1 person will disappear, the other will remain intact, and the third person will have half of his body disappearing, provoking a horrible view to the survivor, now imagine this on world-scale, there will be half of a plant destroyed, and 1 of each animal getting half of their body disappear, in case there's an uneven/odd number of life.

Absolutely agree. Five years later the other half of all life suddenly appears as if they never left. WTF happens then? xD

@@Chowder12345able I would be so pissed
Well seeing as those extinctions or near-extinctions of flora and fauna mentioned in the video likely will happen sooner than 5 years...the other half returning would still probably die because of a lack of stability.
Same for all the infrastructure and stuff in the cities, hell Scott Lang probably might remain stuck where he was because in all the chaos who would give half a fuck about locking up a van? In reality, after 5 years that lock up was probably abandoned as part of the mass exodus the video mentions, so even if that rat does manage to free him, he's going to die locked in as there wouldn't be any security to notice him there.
Sure, Tony gets to live a life of luxury, but that's because he's part of the 0.0000001% and he cares more about securing his own legacy than saving a world that he helped destroy.
