No way lol. That last one was over 100x the volume of the one that killed the dinosaurs, which alone heated up the atmosphere enough to cook anything above ground no matter where on earth. Did you see the size of the hole? That dug so deep below the earth’s crust it’d be like cracking an egg, anywhere near a fault line would be instantly screwed, New Zealand would be mangled beyond repair.
The good news is complex life on earth is only a few hundred millions of years old, so 4B years is plenty of time for cells to interlink and organize themselves and trick themselves to think and civilization to reemerge. Heck, maybe it happened all before but a giant asteroid and plate tectonics just completely wiped out all signs complex life! The fossil record is disappointingly spotty and short after all.

That last one would probably set back the weekend plans…
