The Snap & Blip from Yelena's perspective is such a great scene

Hawkeye Series (Episode 5 flashback) - That scene of Yelena experiencing the Snap and Blip hits so different. One second she's just hanging out, and boom—everything instantly changes and five whole years are just gone in a blink. For her, it wasn't a 5-year wait. It was literally a split second, and the world completely changed around her.

How the Infinity Stones Actually Worked?

When Thanos originally snapped his fingers, the writers and directors actually had to set up some pretty strict rules for how the Infinity Stones work. They aren't just simple wish-granting trinkets; they control the core elements of the universe like space, reality, and time.
So when half of all life vanished, people didn't just drift away—they were instantly erased from the physical plane.

The Strange Reality of the 5-Year Gap: Then came the 5-year gap, which is arguably the weirdest part of the timeline. Imagine just blinking, and five years of your life are completely gone, while everyone else kept moving forward.
When Hulk did the reverse snap in Endgame, the big question was: where did the people who came back actually reappear?

The Return and Safety Mechanics: Marvel actually thought this through. They confirmed that if you were standing in a risky spot when you got snapped, you didn't just drop out of the sky mid-air when you returned. The stones had a built-in safety feature so people would reappear safely on solid ground.

It's pretty cool how the MCU managed to keep a massive sci-fi concept grounded in real emotional stakes through characters like Yelena.
