Ant Man and the Wasp Puns

It probably sounds silly, but it's just really refreshing to see a movie where the step parent isn't some dick who we're supposed to dislike.

Scott, his ex-wife, her husband, and Cassie all just get along happily

Edit: Wow, this blew up

Okay so the discovery/theory: You can see the souls of the universe moving throughout the Quantum Realm after Thanos' snap.

Watch the clip, before and after Scoot retrieves the Quantum Particles the Realm is a deep blue and in an almost "calm" state. But seconds before the Pym's disappear, we begin to see orange start to fill the Realm.

Orange is the color of the Soul Stone. Then, the camera pans out, and we see orange orbs traveling across the realm.

This would be around the time Thanos snapped his finger, down to the seconds if you watch Infinity War and how soon Bucky disappears.

What do you guys think?

Edit: Holy crap didn't think this would get that munch attention, so based off comments let me address some stuff.

I know there are orange orbs before Scott (yes Scott not Scoot) sucks in the healing particles. But after what would be the snap and the orange starts to come back, there is significantly more orange out and about, and instead of floating there they seems to be highly energized.

So, maybe they are just healing particles, but there are alot more because it's the universe's way of fixing itself after the snap?

Also, I would edit out "Scoot" but you guys seem to enjoy that bit lol. Thank you guys for all the comments! If anyone could tweet this to @PeytonRred for confirmation that would be really cool!

So, I watched Ant Man and the Wasp in theaters and enjoyed it. At the time thought it was fine passable, if not lower end Marvel grade entertainment.

Upon later viewings I’ve come to realize we’re really not getting enough of what films like this have to offer.

It’s a film entirely comfortable in its own skin. It doesn’t need to save the world, but rather set up its own small scale emotional stakes and deliver on those stakes.

I’m not sure entirely how to articulate it but it maintains an emotional integrity throughout the entire film that is honestly absent in most films nowadays.

I watched it with my girlfriend who is usually pretty out on “superhero” films but was enthralled by this one simply on the merit that it was predominantly centered around a small cast we cared about versus some global scale crisis.

It was able to tell jokes and even poke fun at itself as well as the marvel universe at large.

Hopefully we see more of this type of storytelling in the future and directors can aknowledge it’s not always about wormholes in the sky but rather making the small things feel important m, no pun intended.

By my count, this is the list of the characters who are not being used in an event. Which, in my mind at least, means they would be prime candidates for the upcoming IW legendary event. Use this list as you will, and see if you can find a possible common denominator to finally be ahead of FN.

• Aim Assulter • Aim Infector • Aim Monstronsity • Aim Researcher • Aim Security • America Chavez • Black Panther • Cable • Captain Marvel • Crossbones • Doctor Strange • Falcon • Hulk • Hydra Armored Guard • Hydra Rifle Trooper • Hydra Scientist • Hydra Sniper • Hyrda Grenadier • Iron Man • Kingpin • Magneto • M'Baku • Minn-erva • Nebula • Okoye • Phoenix • Rescue • Scientist Supreme • Shuri • Star-Lord • Thanos • Thor • Ultimus • Ultron • Vision • War Machine • Winter Soldier

For my two cents, I keep seeing that the rumor is that the sinister six will be the unlock, I disagree with that rumor, because then you'll be able to use them to unlock Shuri, who needs Spiderverse.

How should we prepare? It's been so long since we've had one I forgot how team up events work.

In the final moments of Ant-Man and the Wasp we see Scott Lang trapped in the quantum realm during the snap.

I predict that in IW part 2, Scott will have been both snapped and unsnapped. As a result of being in the quantum realm, Scott will be subject to the laws of quantum mechanics rather than classical mechanics, and he will be left in a state of quantum coherence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_coherence) where he has both been snapped and spared. He will escape the quantum realm (or maybe not and communicate through others who have been entangled with the quantum realm) and serve as a liason between those who have been snapped and those who have been spared.

• Thanos has the IG, but it has no stones.
• Ant-Man/Wasp isn't allowed to shrink Thanos.
• Fight takes place in New York.
• Ant-Man/Wasp has full knowledge on Thanos.
• Thanos has no knowledge.
• No prep.
• They are not allowed to go up Thanos' ass and turn big.
• Morals: On.

Will the insects win? Or The Mad Titan?

So, Avengers: Endgame came out nearly three weeks ago.

Since then, I’ve had time to process it. My heart skipped a beat as I sat watching Steve Rogers hold Mjolnir and stand against Thanos’s army alone, my inner child cheered as the whole “AVENGERS: ASSEMBLE” scene happened, and I’ve come to terms with the deaths of Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff (though this doesn’t stop me from theorizing potential ways in which they can come back for future films).

And, yes, when I first saw it, I was just as puzzled when I saw the scene at the end with Old Man Steve.

Avengers: Endgame sets up some pretty concrete time travel rules throughout the film. Changing your past is impossible, all going back in time and interfering with future events does is create an alternate timeline, born from the consequences of those events. This is a good method and an interesting take on time travel: not only does it keep the stakes high as Clint and Natasha still have to decide who will be sacrificed for the Soul Stone, but it makes for a horrifyingly epic twist from Thanos from the past travels to the future to stop the Avengers from undoing all of his “hard work”.

Then, at the end, Steve goes to put everything back – the Infinity Stones and Mjolnir – in their respective timelines so that those aren’t significantly affected, as the 2012 Ancient One establishes that taking the Infinity Stones to the Avengers’ time is good for them, but not so good for her.

But, instead of returning, Steve doesn’t come back… until Bucky Barnes looks to the side and sees an old man sitting on a bench. Turns out it’s Steve, who decided to stay in the past and get married to Peggy Carter, before handing over his Vibranium Shield to the Falcon. It’s a heartwarming scene that provokes happy tears from the viewer, in comparison to the sad, angry or scared tears they’ll have been shedding the whole movie, at the cost of undercutting the rules of time travel and therefore the entire plot of Avengers: Endgame.

Or does it? There may be an explanation for exactly why this isn’t a plot hole, and Avengers: Endgame doesn’t break its own rules… although it is guilty of not stating them.

So, first of all, we have to rule out what didn’t happen, and why it couldn’t have happened based on the rules Avengers: Endgame lays out definitively, before we get into the actual explanation.

Steve didn’t go back in time and live in the same timeline, where he became the husband of Peggy and father of her children – w

I have started this off here but will edit if any corrections need to be made or points that are supported are made in the comments below (more than that should be higher).

These are all guesses/estimates based on on screen action and counting both good/bad/collateral. Will count off screen due to onscreen events (so say the attack on Xandar) but not off screen assumed events (like all the SHIELD/Hydra causalities that probably happened around the world in other SHIELD locations in Winter Soldier). This might inspire someone to sit down and count but there would still be estimating with that.

Because Reddit numbering defaults to ascending let's go lowest to highest.

1. Spider-Man Homecoming - May almost be a draw for lowest body count as less than 10 also. Definitely less than 10, **edit** with still no Goats lambs harmed only the first Shocker was killed by Vulture bringing the total down to 1.
2. Ant-Man - half a dozen hydra, some chopper pilots, an Pym tech exec and a **edit** goat lamb Ant-hony. Less than 10
3. Doctor Strange - Librarian, some of Kaecilius followers, sanctum guardians and the ancient one. Less than 15 but would be more if not for the time stone
4. Iron Man 2 - Some prisoners, some guards (few unfortunate iron man knock off pilots) probably no one at the Park because it was cleared. On par with Iron Man, less than 20
5. Black Panther - Even with the Civil War towards the end we didn't see many Wakandians lying around at the end putting it on par with Iron Man. So estimating around 25
6. Thor - Mostly Ice Giants but somewhere between 20 and 50 so lets say, less than 30
7. Incredible Hulk - I was actually going to put this lower but you have the Abomination attacking Harlem towards the end so... Less than 50?
8. Civil War - Two bombings plus everyone that Zemo took out. Putting it at 50
9. Iron Man - 2 Humvees of Soldiers, 10 rings camp (rejigged count after watching) + more when he returned + the tank, possibly some SHIELD Agents and Obi. **edit** Less than 55
10. The Dark World - Quite a few prisoners, battles and dark elves are taken out but it isn't droves of them. Less than 75
11. Iron Man 3 - lots of henchmen but quite a few bombings by the Mandarin. Probably getting close to the Avengers but lets go with less than 100
12. Age of Ultron - Hydra, plus the Hulk, plus dropping a city which resulted in the Accords. **edit** with the civilian casu

We were never shown the ant in question or any mention of it in Endgame. After Scott, Hank, Hope and Janet disappeared, probably no one would have been able to revert it to its original size, or know what to do with it in general. What happened after that?

Specifically Ghost and Liz. Both have white dads, but that didn't affect their casting choice for the characters, rather choosing the best fit for the character. IMO, this is how diverse casting should be done, not casting people of colour for the sake of diversity, but casting the best fit for the role without considering colour too much.

I noticed a lot of people's Phase 5 predictions don't include any Ant-man/ Ant-man and the Wasp sequels.

Do folks think they'll get a third movie in Phase 5, and if so when? Or do people think that they'll mainly appear in other heroes' movies?
