Did those who got caught in the Snap expirence an afterlife?

Rewatching IW and Endgame, just a thought. We know with Black Panther, Moon Knight and Thor that multiple afterlives exist in the MCU.

Do those who got caught in the Snap actually go to an afterlife or did they get erased right down to their souls?

You see the Snap from Yalena's POV in Hawkeye. It was instantaneous for her. No afterlife. Aunt May also says it was instant and she was all of a sudden in her apartment and being accused of being the current tenants mistress.

MasterAnnatar2026-01-10 21:15

The current tenant wishes tbh

mani96122026-01-10 21:25

It’s me I’m current tenant

Alone_Banana_35202026-01-10 23:04

George Constanza?

amodsr2026-01-11 09:31

We're all the current tenant.

Edboy7962026-01-10 22:15

This, it was essentially time travel at the worst time.

Asbelsp2026-01-10 23:20

The thing with no afterlife means there is a timeline where they never came back and didn't get to have an afterlife.

FlatulentSon2026-01-11 00:49

>It was instantaneous for her. No afterlife.

*or*.... did Bruce just made it so the snap victims don't remember the afterlife to spare them the trauma

ezrs1582026-01-11 01:31

Bruce, you mean?

FlatulentSon2026-01-11 01:52

Yes, fixed it.

Morand012026-01-10 21:09

Spider man said the snap was instantaneous in endgame where he left and then came back. Based on that I’d say they were erased

jpkviowa2026-01-10 21:10

If you watch Hawkeye, it's the only time we see someone go pre and post snap. It appears the dissolved and and got put back together. Basically a time jump with no known continuity between jumps.

No, no afterlife it wasn't death. It was the removal from existence and reentry into it.

Edit: Yelana is who we see it happen to.

anrwlias2026-01-10 21:17

Which is kind of terrifying. If the snap was never reversed, all of those souls would have been permanently denied an afterlife.

Dangerous_Thing_32752026-01-10 21:19

Is there an Afterlife in Marvel?

AshlarKorith2026-01-10 21:22

Did you read the first paragraph of OPs question?

Hedgewitch2502026-01-10 21:22

Yes multiple afterlife’s are real like Valhalla

cai_852026-01-10 21:39

We don't really know what the entry criteria are. It sort of seems that the afterlife is a bit of a place for those with "unfinished business".

WD_G2026-01-11 09:04

According to Thor, to get in Valhalla, you have to die in battle

And for the Ancestral Plane, I think it's either only those that believe in Bast, or just those who have some connection to Wakanda through blood end up there? Killmonger definitely does not believe in Bast, but he's still there, so I'd go with his connection to Wakanda

cai_852026-01-11 11:39

Thanks, not sure why I'm getting downvoted...I was thinking more about entry criteria for "normal people". So if you have to die in battle then does that mean that none of the normal citizens of Asgard (in Norway) get an afterlife? I agree with your logic on Wakanda. My opinion on the snap is that because it used the soul stone, they were effectively "erased" for that period, there was no soul to move on.

WD_G2026-01-11 14:54

I think normal citizens battling a life-threatening sickness count, since Jane died battling cancer after the fight against Gorr was over, and she ended up in Valhalla

And yeah I agree with you, getting snapped most likely erased their souls from existence too

cai_852026-01-11 17:08

Maybe, or maybe welding Mjolnir gave her a connection to Asgard/Valhalla?

Gilded-Mongoose2026-01-10 21:23

>We know with Black Panther, Moon Knight and Thor that multiple afterlives exist in the MCU.

It's only the third sentence in the post bro 🥀

anrwlias2026-01-10 21:46

Yes, quite a few actually.

jjenkins_412026-01-10 21:24

Well, they were snapped out of existence...

anrwlias2026-01-10 21:54

Sure, but we aren't talking about real life. In Marvel and the MCU afterlives are a reality so being denied one is, I would say, a tragedy, at least if you were expecting a good outcome.

HyruleBalverine2026-01-11 01:36

The point they were making was that the people affected by the snap weren't killed, they were wiped from existence. In other words, they didn't die to go into an afterlife, they were simply erased soul and all.

anrwlias2026-01-11 03:01

Yes, I know. How does that contradict anything that I said? I said that this would be a terrifying outcome in a world where afterlives existed if they never got unsnapped. What, exactly, are you objecting to?

HyruleBalverine2026-01-11 19:41

I'm not objecting to anything. I was simply clarifying that by suggesting that their soul was erased from existence, the person was suggesting was that there was no longer a soul to go to an afterlife.

But, as I go back and re-read what you wrote (and the preceding comments), I believe that I misread your post initially. My mistake.

GullibleGap99662026-01-10 21:27

Like when we die in real life

FerrusManlyManus2026-01-10 21:50

Damn best me to it

FerrusManlyManus2026-01-10 21:50

So like real life then?

lanceturley2026-01-10 21:25

There was also a similar scene with Monica that shows what her experience with the snap was like, so Yelena's isn't the only time we've seen it firsthand.

unclecaveman12026-01-10 22:14

We see Monica come back, but we don’t see before and during.

HyruleBalverine2026-01-11 01:33

Hence their use of "similar" rather than "same" when referring to the scene.

Son_Tenaj2026-01-10 21:10

For the people that got snapped was probably a here and there moment where they get snapped away and then the next moment there back.

5 years went by between infinity war and endgame but for the people that got snapped away it probably was just merely seconds apart from being snapped away and coming back.

nickmandl2026-01-10 21:10

No. Watch black widow.

RocketTasker2026-01-10 21:10

Peter in Endgame, Monic in WandaVision, and Yelena in Hawkeye show that people who got Blipped do not see an afterlife and in fact perceive the passage of the five years as just moments on their end. Peter describes himself as “I must have passed out”, Monica thinks she fell asleep in the chair in the hospital, and Yelena briefly sees water from the sink pass through her hands then she briefly dusts and reforms and sees the decorations change around her.

polytech082026-01-10 21:13

The MCU afterlife is your soul moving to another plane of existence based on your culture or beliefs. If you're removed from existence, you have no soul that can go to that plane.

NoahManiacal2026-01-10 21:51

I think they go to Soul World. When they were brought back they simply forgot about their time in Soul World and for them that no time passed because they were in another dimension

Ok-Sleep29062026-01-11 15:45

No. They end up stuck in every episode of Soul Train.

armageddonquilt2026-01-10 21:13

No on the afterlife, cause it's clear from Endgame and multiple movies/shows after that people who got snapped instantly reappeared again from their perspective. That's the reason it's called "The Blip" in-universe, because for half the population it literally just was a blip where they essentially skipped over 5 years in an instant.
What happened to them? Hard to say. Maybe their bodies and souls were in a timeless void. Maybe they were literally unmade and then remade by Hulk's snap.

jabber8222026-01-10 21:16

I figured they all died without leaving a body, but their souls still moved on to wherever they were meant to like normal. Then when the Snap was undone, their bodies were restored and they were brought back from the afterlife, but with no memory of it.

If we ever see Rio again, it’d be nice to hear her perspective on the Snap.

anrwlias2026-01-10 21:32

We can see that's not the case in the few examples of POV snaps, like Monica's in WandaVision. From their perspective it's an instantaneous transition forward.

CaleBoi252026-01-10 21:37

Who is Rio? /genq

TheRealLG092026-01-10 21:45

Aubrey Plaza played Rio in Agatha All Along. It was a really good show, you should check it out.

CaleBoi252026-01-10 21:53

Ah, OK. Yeah, I am currently watching WV, then I'll watch AAA, and then (once it releases) I'll finish out with VQ!

CaptHayfever2026-01-10 21:55

You phrased that answer very wisely; well done.

eagc72026-01-10 21:18

Based on what we know so far, it doesn't appear that happened, it seems their souls also ceased to exist when Thanos snapped them away.

As from Yelena POV for example she was just in the bathroom and suddenly the bathroom changed, or from Peter POV, Tony was there next to him, but then he was gone

WildFire2552026-01-10 21:31

I think it would have been interesting to tie the mystical aspect of the Web of Life to No Way Home.

Dismal-Apricot98892026-01-10 21:35

Their afterlife is inside the soul stone. They were brought back to the moment before they snapped away, so it was instantaneous to them, and their lives inside the soul stone were erased. This also means that Stark and Thanos are trapped in the soul stone together. Along with Thanos’ entire army. Perhaps this would drive Stark insane, make him go Darth Vader-like… 👀

neoblackdragon2026-01-10 23:26

There is no reason to assume when Thanos and Stark both died, their souls went inside the Soul Stone. Otherwise you are saying Hulk goes there too when he dies.

Creepy_Living_87332026-01-10 21:52

Peter described it like he was going to sleep

conebone696969692026-01-10 22:03

The WandaVision un-snapping was one of my favorite post Endgame moments. Seemed to be instantaneous for the ones who blipped. It

lanwopc2026-01-10 22:16

It's best not to think about the theological implications of the snap, along with all the others.

Uncanny_Doom2026-01-10 22:33

They didn’t die, they ceased to exist.

neoblackdragon2026-01-10 23:28

They don't remember any existence between the snaps is more technical.

Maybe they did go to the afterlife but their minds can't comprehend it.

Or because they weren't dead, not eligible for one.

Opposite_Educator_632026-01-12 01:03

For one to experience an afterlife, one has to die. They didn't die, they were removed from existence. Deleted. And I believe it requires a soul to go over. The soul stone handled that area.

CharlieW772026-01-12 02:55

No, they were basically erased from existence. We got to see it from Yelena’s perspective and it was like a blink of the eye.
