The only plot hole they could’ve addressed better is why didn’t Scott just use the old suit after telling Hank that it still existed. I know they used the tech from the suit to find the lab but to my knowledge they didn’t break it finding it. You would think Scott would use the proper operating suit instead of the malfunctioning prototype. I think that could’ve been taken care of by them breaking the piece upon finding the lab. Really minor I know and I thought Scott’s suit malfunctions were funny scenes but I think it could’ve been better handled as to why he was still using the new suit at the end.


They had to take the regulator out of it and modify it to use as a homing beacon. They didn't break it, but I'm guessing they had to change it enough that it wasn't usable in the suit anymore.

Could explain why Captain Marvel takes place in the 90s but we don't see her in any or the MCU movies


Don't know where she was during the MCU movies, but I think she was somewhere. In the credit scene of IW, wasn't Nick Fury sending some kind of signal to her?

My guess is she’s out in the cosmos somewhere. Maybe the opening scene of IW Part 2 could be a flashback where she fails to prevent Thanos from taking the Power Stone.

They've spun it as Pym not trusting anyone, since everyone that he's trusted outside of his family has turned on him or lied to him. Even Scott lied about destroying the suit.

Which is something that is needed or you'll be wondering why the Avengers of future movies aren't all shrinking and expanding as needed.

Simply stating that the vast majority of people that went see Ant-Man, already saw the $2B film Infinity Wars. I would assume there is a very very small minority of people that went see Ant-Man without seeing IW. That's all.


You are failing to account for Myrmecologists in your calculations, let alone the broader world of Entomologists.

Thanos already solved world hunger when he eliminated half the people on the planet.

If only it were trolling. I like letting dumb people let it all out there.

1. How in the hell did Marvel keep all these timelines & tangents "straight" when they were authoring the comics?!??! Was there some massive art studio with a huge wall of timelines & yarn connecting characters to each other + plot lines?!?!?!


Mainly, Mark Gruenwald did it. He independently published a journal called Omniverse which somehow tied together not only every Marvel continuity, but the continuity of every comic book publisher into one omniverse. He's the guy who came up with the numbering system for universes (Marvel 616 being the main timeline). He would be the editor in chief at Marvel for a while. He was so good at tracking the most minute details that Walt Simonson drew him as a bureaucrat in charge of tracking all existence in Thor.

Gruenwald died of a heart attack and they mixed his ashes in the paper to make the first printing of the trade paperback of his beloved Squadron Supreme miniseries. Continuity sort of fell apart after he died in the mid-90s, as no one tracked it as religiously as he did.

What he said.

Back in the day when I read comics religiously (early 70s to 1990), you'd often have "reference notes" in the panels, kind of like this:

"I have learned much since I recently acquired the magic gem of knowledge!"*

* as seen in Tales to Astonish, issue 15.

I really miss those reference notes. They really tied the universe together and made nods to continuity. I'm not obsessed with the minutae of continuity, so long as it makes basic sense.

Those were also a great way to get people to want to read other comics they might not otherwise think about buying. Not sure why they would stop what was essentially a type of advertising that doesn't make people vomit in their mouths over being tricked into reading an ad.
