In real world logistics, it wouldn't be able to be background fodder.

On a micro level, sure there's the awkward coming back after five years to find your wife in bed with her new husband or popping back in a house that's now occupied by a new family.

But macro, we're talking about the biggest crisis to hit Earth ever. You're looking at 3,800,000,000 new mouths to feed that weren't there yesterday. It doesn't matter what happened or what planning took place, world wide starvation and war breaks out immediately after they return. It's comic book logic, so I can overlook it but it will be interesting if they address it at all.
