Did they actually shrink a building? Or did they build a doll-sized building and enlarge it? The latter makes more sense.
Yes, this is all correct.
But then it would be so flimsy that a sneeze or a just talking loudly would rip it to spreads.
The opposite, no? Buildings are fairly fragile; one good shake and they fall apart. Dollhouses, OTOH, can be fairly sturdy. The building in the movie could have been made of solid plastic - the walls and floors would be a meter thick when enlarged, and naturally it would have no water infrastructure, but it would be able to withstand quite a lot so long as everything inside was bolted down.
(Naturally, we’re assuming the inverse square law does not work in the Marvel universe).
One way it could work is if most of the building is a facade/empty space with only the couple of rooms that we see being “usable”,
Something interesting: I felt the overt comedy in Thor Ragnarok cheapened it and made it feel more flimsy whereas I felt the comedy here strengthened it and made the story better.
I’m pretty sure he was still sitting at the card table.
I’d have given a kidney to hear this, right after Janet heals Hank:
Hank: How did you do that?
Janet: You spend thirty years fighting Baron Karza, you learn a few tricks.
Hank: Who?
Janet: It doesn’t matter anymore.
Incidentally, did anyone notice her mentioning “evolution” as the cause of her abilities?
So, here’s what I’m thinking: In Avengers 2, the “snap” is undone using Quantum Realm shenanigans, and the population of Earth is restored. But some of the people come back… evolved. And that’s how you get X-Men in the MCU.
Chopped a bunch out - I have no problem with. Bolded the part about the FBI team. Not all male unless you saw a different version of the movie.
Hardly a leading lady part (don’t believe she had many (any?) lines).
Carry on.
Cayuga:
Actually, that’s already done in the first Ant-Man - there’s the pet giant ant and Thomas the Tank Engine. I suppose, though, that until Cap: Civil War, we did not know that it could be safely done to a human being.
I just saw the movie on Tuesday, and liked it a lot. But the ending is a bit of a head-scratcher…Hank, Jan and Hope seem to be settled in peacefully, but shouldn’t Hank and Hope still be fugitives? Scott served his two years of house arrest, but they should still be wanted.
Also - was Hope ever referred to on-screen as “the Wasp”? My daughter pointed out to me that she wasn’t, and I have to admit I don’t specifically remember the name being used.
By “ending”, do you mean the post credits stinger? I don’t think they’re settled in - they’re doing their experiments in a van on top of a deserted parking garage, not in a building with a “Pym Industries” sign on it.
I had the same question. Maybe the title is referring to Janet.

Looked to me like Hank and Jan grew themselves a beach house and expected the location to be permanent. I also thought the post-credits stinger took place at that beach, but I suppose my memory could be faulty.
Inner Stickler:
I had considered that it might be referring to Jan (is she referred to as “the Wasp” on screen, either in this movie or the prior one?), but at the very least, it’s implied, based on billing, that the second title character is Hope.
I forgot about that, but ISTM that one of the advantages of a beach house that you can grow and shrink is that you can bring it with you if you need to make a hasty getaway.
And the mid-credits scene was definitely on the roof of a parking garage, and Hank even complained he used to work in buildings with his name on them.
Right, but perhaps it was all part of the Infinity War so that we’d think, “well, hope’s not gonna get dusted cuz she has to be the wasp,” and then the movie says “psych!”
Or maybe I’m overthinking it.
Italics don’t show on quotes, you want underline.
This movie was pretty much what I want in a superhero movie. I’m tired of stories in which the entire country or the world or the entire universe is at stake.
Give me solid, free standing, intimate stories.
And I much prefer the humor in Ant Man over Deadpool. I wanted to murder everyone every time Deadpool made a lame joke.
I can see them no problem. I’ve put some italics in your quote too, and I see them in preview. Maybe it’s a Spain thing?
:dubious:
It’s a theme thing. Sultantheme makes everything in quote boxes italics.
muldoonthief:
True, I guess the scene just felt to me like some sort of “going to retire and enjoy the golden years” vibe, not a “we still have to keep running, but here’s a fancier tent to sleep in” vibe. But that’s hardly conclusive, I’ll admit.
Well, color me embarrassed…I guess I did not pay that much attention to the surroundings when I watched that scene.
