“Scott, I get emails from a raccoon, so…” The thing is, it get more weird from there. Reality-warping witches, green-furred minotaurs, Arishem showing up in Earth's orbit...
The throwaway line about studying Quantum Physics just make conversation is so brilliant, because it's not a joke. Being around Rocket/Iron Man/Bruce etc, learning about QP would be a realistic way for her to make conversation.
Exactly! Black Widow doesn't know enough to build anything herself, but probably knows just enough not to be completely lost when Rocket, Iron Man, or Hulk talks about the science stuff. Kind of like Scott did to at least begin to keep up with Hank.
Don't forget that she was a spy by profession and had to impersonate a whole host of different characters on her missions. It makes sense that she would know about a wide range of topics, not in depth but enough to not blow her cover.
She probably originally studied QP to make conversation with important scientists that she’s trying to seduce for her agency and country, whether that is America or Russia.
IIRC it's a callback to the first avengers movie with the scene where Stark first appears on their flying fortress. Maria Hill asks Stark when he became an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics and he says he read the packet with Selvig's notes and asks if anyone else did the reading, which I have to assume Natasha did because she was employed by SHIELD.
To me, Ant-Man has always been the most objectively relatable hero in the MCU. He never has amazing powers, training, or lineage. Simply put, he really is the archetypal “everyman” you see in so many stories. The fact that he played such a crucial role in undoing what was essentially a mini apocalypse shows how underestimated people like that can be.

She had done some bad things in the past but that's not how the spell on the hammer works. She is the type to do anything for others/her team, even sacrificing herself without much hesitation. She and Steve (Atleast in the MCU storyline, not talking about the comics) are very pure and dedicated good people trying to do what is right at all times. Even during Civil War she played on both teams because she was always trying to do what was right, initially joining Tony because she thought that was right but also helping out Steve on the airport when she thought that was the right move. I love her story arc and would have loved seeing more from her, she is fantastically written and deserves to be an avenger, even without powers. She's one of the best!

“maybe it doesn’t need to be done”. Gone are the days of MCU when we used to see such mature dialogues in movies which were already a hit based on their action sequences alone.
Well, he spent five condensed years in the Quantum Realm, had a heartbreaking reunion with his daughter and got a ride from someone (San Francisco - Atlanta, GA) to the Avenger's HQ. Talk about tiring! XD
Scott Lang: "Have either of you ever studied quantum physics?" Steve "It appears to run on some sort of electricity" Rogers: Natasha Romanoff: "Only to make conversation." (which probably means only to allow her to maintain a cover identity).
@@aaronkenyon7112true, and he could have exited the quantum realm 50 years before Thanos snapped. It could have been anything, but luckily it was only 5 hours for him 5 years for everyone else.
The insane thing is that he got out due to a rat. Even if Doctor Strange saw a future where they defeat Thanos and find out that Tony created and used time travel to do it, how could the same or similar rat trigger things? It would have been better if his stuff had been sent to a lab, and Dr. Foster, Lawrence Fishbourne's character from _Ant-Man and the Wasp_ got him out by playing around with it.
I always figured that when Bran randomly warged in the Game of Thrones episode with the Night King in 2019, he actually Warged into the Rat and freed Antman from the Quantum Realm. It makes more sense than whatever season 8 was.
Star lord was responsible for the Avengers not getting the Gauntlet off, if he had not been so focused on Gamora, they could have won. Ant man had the idea with the quantum realm. Scott Lang is the unsung hero of endgame.
This the thing, in endgame we got the timeline where they win what does this mean? It mean in the timeline where they taken off the gauntlet from Thanos they still didn't and he managed to get it back
They need an absolute victory Taking off thanos's gauntlet would still make him be there He would just take it back Not to mention his army Strange definetly chose the lowest possible sacrifice with the highest possible gain
It should have been him, Strange, Thor and the new Captain America. Hawkeye should be like an instructor and Carol Denvers is always the outside force of help.
In a buncha years, these movies are going to be the classics that everybody has memories of and all the people that hate them because of... I don't know, some reason or another, they'll be forgotten. This was lightning in a bottle and I'm glad I had to wait for each one.
I thought Waterworld (1995 with Kevin Cosner) was a good film, but even 30 years later people still think it was garbage. The haters may age out, but the flaws in a film (or series, or universe) will always be there. We are currently in an era where quality story writing is being neglected in favor of agendas, and the industry hopes that expensive special effects and big name actors will make up for it. I think both Marvel and Star Wars are like a person with 5x the lethal dose of radiation. They are a dead man walking, it is just a matter of time before it sets in.
I’m not a diehard MCUer. But I’ve been a big fan of RDJ going back to my childhood in the 80s. I remember when the first Avengers movie came out and everybody was talking about it. I saw it, and even without having seen any of the other Marvel movies, the movie stood on its own and was very enjoyable. Then many years later when everybody was talking about Infinity War and Endgame, when we were all stuck in our homes during the pandemic, I watched them both. Infinity War blew me away by how great it was! I was eager to watch Endgame after. And those two remain my absolute favorite MCU movies of all time. After having seen those, I started to watch some of the other Marvel movies. But, sadly, I don’t think any of the others come close to how great those 2 are. (With the exception of Spider Man: No Way Home). Just my $0.02
The film series up to ENDGAME was just so magical. I can't remember any film series where I loved the characters and their journeys so much, all over the course of a Decade (plus one year). Thank God this part of the MCU ended before all that Covid lockdown bs. It will always be a magical time, when hundreds of fans were cheering (and crying) in packed theaters.
I think they kind of did recognize it with awards. Robert Downey Jr winning the Oscar for Oppenheimer was kind of deserved on that performance alone, but it felt more like a career win where the Academy was recognizing him for his career achievements which include Iron Man.
I hate that actors get their Oscars only for drama. I mean like actors in superhero movies have to pretend like they are seeing something that doesn't exist in real life
@@mark.8949 THANOS, I'M HERE TO BARGAIN! Couldn't resist. just sucks because it implies Dr Strange saw Blackwidow's future too, along with Tony, and traded their lives for everyone else.
I got the point of Scott where hes thinking that he entered the quatum realm and exited at a different point in time in 5 years to the future, it just a delayed exit that goes for 5 hours....
Right, this makes the whole idea of time travel stupid. He didn't time travel, he was basically stuck in suspended animation. Jus like Captain America was in the ice.
Except thats the point, the quantum realm has time dilation, if going there means time moves faster outside of it, then that could mean with the right setup you could go back, blackholes have time dilation with them as well, the only real difference is that you'll get spaghettified, this provides a safe method to test time travel.
Basically Marvel should have got the two guys who wrote this on permanent contract to write all their movies. Think how great Marvel could still be if they had.
Problem with that is that the two had been around since Captain America First Avenger so had the same burn out that the Russo brothers had. So them needing a break after both Infinity War and Endgame was completely justified.
I really wish we got a series about Nat being the leader of the Avengers and getting Captain Marvel and The Guardians to work together to help people around the universe while dealing with problems on Earth after the snap. Nat seemed way more relaxed after the 5 years but way more focused on the "team" than ever. So I wish had that since the character growth seems great.
Steve: Scott, don’t you have an amazing genius way for us to beat Thanos? Scott: Uh, I dunno. Maybe if I wasn’t under house arrest after the airport battle I could tell ya! Steve: Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. Scott: I couldn’t see Luis for months you a-hole.
@@thebookofdaniel5837 lol I guess that's possible. I'm sure they knew it didn't work timewise but they had get him there. I mean it's a movie with superheroes. Belief has to be suspended anyways.
It's too bad they kept having him play Scott as a dumbass. He was an engineer who became a whistleblower and went to prison for it. He became a goofball to survive there. They should have shown him in at least one movie becoming an engineer again and using his mind. I was so upset with Paul Rudd's portrayal of Scott in _Quantumania_ that when I saw the trailer with him in _Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,_ I wasn't happy. But they took out the scene from the trailer of his maniacal laughter for some reason.
I thought about that too (bc I dye my hair a lot), and I guess she kept up with the blonde for two or three years after the snap, and then just decided to hell with it and let it grow. I did that during the pandemic. I was considered an essential employee, and I was so damn busy and everything was shut down, I just gave up on keeping up with it after a while.
This question keep bothering me Why Thanos didn't destroy the stone s right after the flip.The chaos will cover for the impact signal He waited 5 years just to be noticed and got killed
To Thanos, the issue was over with the snap. He was done. I don't even think he minded dying. His goal was complete. And he likely had never considered the afterwards more than living on his little farm. So when he's on his farm recuperating, he suddenly realizes that the stones can be used to reverse the snap, so he destroys them.
Telling her "no one has to do this" is kind of silly, it's not like all the bad guys that the Avengers were set up to fight don't exist anymore, on average there's 50% less sure, but there absolutely does need to be someone to run it all.
@@TheSpecialPlumsEveryoneKnows To be fair, she had another movie for herself, and she probably wanted to quit the role after almost 10 years of doing the same character. Even Dave Bautista wanted to stop being Drax because it was hard to stay in shape. Same goes for Scarlett. Too much expectation for women to look like she does.
I really thought her death was a master stroke in story telling. She knew her past and knew she couldn't make up for it. Her sacrifice was a fine and worthy death.
DAMN.... When I argue with people who say "the MCU isn't as good as it was"....and then I go back and re-watch the old stuff... I realize I'M WRONG!!! I miss when MCU was great!!
Since the release of Endgame, the only movie that was actually decent was GoG Vol. 3. but that's not a bad thing. "A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts"
This thing is what bothers me ever since I watched this movie, time going slower or faster doesn't mean you can go back in time. Having 1st gear or 5th gear doesn't mean you also have a back gear.
Wait, she used to have nothing? What about her foster family? The one from her own movie? The one that happened before this one? It's almost as if a lot after endgame wasn't planned.
That's why Paul Rudd ages slower than everyone else.

“maybe it doesn’t need to be done”. Gone are the days of MCU when we used to see such mature dialogues in movies which were already a hit based on their action sequences alone.
Steve has so many of the most meaningful lines in the MCU.
Scott Lang: Is that anybody’s sandwich?
😆
Guy's starved😂
Well, he spent five condensed years in the Quantum Realm, had a heartbreaking reunion with his daughter and got a ride from someone (San Francisco - Atlanta, GA) to the Avenger's HQ.
Talk about tiring! XD
Nah, go right ahead. This guy is definitely starving to death.
@@TheSpecialPlumsEveryoneKnows didn't eat anything for 5 hours
This is the most beautiful I've seen Black Widow. ❤
That speech, her emotion, I miss her in the MCU . . .
she was finally getting good too. they should have gave her another movie
Oh yes
Amazing presence, especially with Steve... it's that human touch that is so important
Thanks for pointing this out
I didn't miss her, I don't miss any of them, because the MCU gets garbage after Endgame.
Still watch the previous movies dgmr
Yeah, wanna see her in TV shows at least

Scott became the most very important person in the avengers. Without him, they wouldn't be able to undo Thanos work and brought back everyone.
nah the rat saved everyone
@@fartpeepooshart So?
@@AH-is5yg so the rat saved everyone
The rat did so much YALL

Scott Lang: "Have either of you ever studied quantum physics?"
Steve "It appears to run on some sort of electricity" Rogers:
Natasha Romanoff: "Only to make conversation." (which probably means only to allow her to maintain a cover identity).
Or chatting with Bruce?
Dude later talked with a genius who is capable of becoming an expert in everything overnight.
He trapped in the Quantum realm for 5 hours, that’s totally insane 😮
The insane thing is his time in there could've been shorter. It could've been minutes if something like that happened again. That's how random it is
@@aaronkenyon7112true, and he could have exited the quantum realm 50 years before Thanos snapped. It could have been anything, but luckily it was only 5 hours for him 5 years for everyone else.
The insane thing is that he got out due to a rat. Even if Doctor Strange saw a future where they defeat Thanos and find out that Tony created and used time travel to do it, how could the same or similar rat trigger things? It would have been better if his stuff had been sent to a lab, and Dr. Foster, Lawrence Fishbourne's character from _Ant-Man and the Wasp_ got him out by playing around with it.
@@sandal_thong8631 true
I'd be dying for a sandwich after that too
him casually eating while explaining time travel was great 😂
I always figured that when Bran randomly warged in the Game of Thrones episode with the Night King in 2019, he actually Warged into the Rat and freed Antman from the Quantum Realm. It makes more sense than whatever season 8 was.
Lmao, it’s a possibility
I like how the clip starts off by Steve saying that people should grow… like Ant-Man does
that rat saved everyone
Star lord was responsible for the Avengers not getting the Gauntlet off, if he had not been so focused on Gamora, they could have won.
Ant man had the idea with the quantum realm.
Scott Lang is the unsung hero of endgame.
Strange saw the timeline where Peter kept his composure. They still lost.
This the thing, in endgame we got the timeline where they win what does this mean? It mean in the timeline where they taken off the gauntlet from Thanos they still didn't and he managed to get it back
They need an absolute victory
Taking off thanos's gauntlet would still make him be there
He would just take it back
Not to mention his army
Strange definetly chose the lowest possible sacrifice with the highest possible gain
Yeah Ant Man is the MVP or star of the show. Star Lord is a piece of sh*t.
@@Bepisipeb You trust Strange too much. There were plenty of other ways for them to win. Strange just wanted Iron Man dead.
"Scott, I get emails from a raccoon.... Nothing's Crazy."
Trying to imagine Rocket typing on a keyboard is fucking hilarious😂😂😂
I get the time moves slower in that quantamrealm, but to extend that into going back in time is completely different..
Scott should lead The Avengers alongside Thor in Doomsday and Secretwars. He's incredibly underrated
Agreed Scott, Hulk, Thor and maybe Yelena should lead the avengers
It should have been him, Strange, Thor and the new Captain America. Hawkeye should be like an instructor and Carol Denvers is always the outside force of help.
@HumanRider-ys6ld Easy, dude, your masculinity is not going to be threatened just because a team is lead by a woman.
@@varric you mean to say that your womanhood was hurt when the male members led the team in Infinity War and Endgame?
@@hero-rj9zu What, are you projecting your issues in other men?
In a buncha years, these movies are going to be the classics that everybody has memories of and all the people that hate them because of... I don't know, some reason or another, they'll be forgotten. This was lightning in a bottle and I'm glad I had to wait for each one.

I thought Waterworld (1995 with Kevin Cosner) was a good film, but even 30 years later people still think it was garbage. The haters may age out, but the flaws in a film (or series, or universe) will always be there.
We are currently in an era where quality story writing is being neglected in favor of agendas, and the industry hopes that expensive special effects and big name actors will make up for it.
I think both Marvel and Star Wars are like a person with 5x the lethal dose of radiation. They are a dead man walking, it is just a matter of time before it sets in.
@@TwilightMysts No. Story writing is at a high and it's the people who hate reality whining about agendas.
I’m not a diehard MCUer. But I’ve been a big fan of RDJ going back to my childhood in the 80s. I remember when the first Avengers movie came out and everybody was talking about it. I saw it, and even without having seen any of the other Marvel movies, the movie stood on its own and was very enjoyable. Then many years later when everybody was talking about Infinity War and Endgame, when we were all stuck in our homes during the pandemic, I watched them both. Infinity War blew me away by how great it was! I was eager to watch Endgame after. And those two remain my absolute favorite MCU movies of all time. After having seen those, I started to watch some of the other Marvel movies. But, sadly, I don’t think any of the others come close to how great those 2 are. (With the exception of Spider Man: No Way Home).
Just my $0.02
@lkohan75 - have you seen Black Panther? I thought that one was quite good, though a very different take on things.
Some people move on from Avengers movies
Some do... But not us
The film series up to ENDGAME was just so magical. I can't remember any film series where I loved the characters and their journeys so much, all over the course of a Decade (plus one year). Thank God this part of the MCU ended before all that Covid lockdown bs. It will always be a magical time, when hundreds of fans were cheering (and crying) in packed theaters.

@@IronMan-tk8ucagreed, both Spider-Man NWH and GOTG3 count after the Infinity Saga at least. Same with the Loki series. In terms of quality.
2:02 the bow on the wall is strung backwards
"I get e-mails from a raccoon."
Scott has never heard of Rocket at this point. That must have sounded so random.
Just because its a superhero movie, this acting should havr been recognised.
I think they kind of did recognize it with awards. Robert Downey Jr winning the Oscar for Oppenheimer was kind of deserved on that performance alone, but it felt more like a career win where the Academy was recognizing him for his career achievements which include Iron Man.
I hate that actors get their Oscars only for drama. I mean like actors in superhero movies have to pretend like they are seeing something that doesn't exist in real life
I love it how down to earth things are.
Man, Thanos really did mess up after sparing Stark. He and Ant-Man were the only ones that could make a time machine.
Certainly explained why Dr. Strange made the bargain with the stone.
@@mark.8949 THANOS, I'M HERE TO BARGAIN! Couldn't resist.
just sucks because it implies Dr Strange saw Blackwidow's future too, along with Tony, and traded their lives for everyone else.
“So who do we talk to about this?” The man himself
And then bro invents time travel in one night
Well, you know, with his genius super computer assistant
You'd think that getting emails from a raccoon would at least get a double take from Scott. Nope. He doesn't say a word about it.
Would have made the scene worse
Keep in mind that he has a lot of experience riding and working with ants.
Him talking about Hope 2:11 😞
Endgame was pretty much THE master piece of Marvel. They have yet to top it so far.
In fact the recent outings just show how far Marvel has fallen.
Infinity War was better, not to say end game wasn’t good though
They never will. It was lightening in bottle.
I think the two together made _Endgame_ a great finale for the MCU. They should have stopped there and done a reboot.
Infinity War was the masterpiece
Scott, I told you not to eat Mr. Peart's sandwich!
It still bothers me how this two (Cap and Natasha) are gifted so much time together by fate and still not a couple😂
I got the point of Scott where hes thinking that he entered the quatum realm and exited at a different point in time in 5 years to the future, it just a delayed exit that goes for 5 hours....
Right, this makes the whole idea of time travel stupid. He didn't time travel, he was basically stuck in suspended animation. Jus like Captain America was in the ice.
Except thats the point, the quantum realm has time dilation, if going there means time moves faster outside of it, then that could mean with the right setup you could go back, blackholes have time dilation with them as well, the only real difference is that you'll get spaghettified, this provides a safe method to test time travel.
I love how Scott is perfectly happy being Cap and Widow's sidekick.
People make light of these films but some of them are excellent.
Basically Marvel should have got the two guys who wrote this on permanent contract to write all their movies. Think how great Marvel could still be if they had.
Problem with that is that the two had been around since Captain America First Avenger so had the same burn out that the Russo brothers had. So them needing a break after both Infinity War and Endgame was completely justified.
“So who do we talk to about this?” The one and only. Shoutout Scott
That subtle change in black widow’s facial expression when Antman mentions the 5 hour time dilation.
I like how ant man was able to help figure out the time travel by using the quantum realm but he needed bulk and iron man’s help.
It's so sad that all Natasha had was being an Avenger.
If there is something important like time travel you have to talk with the right guy and this guy is always the farmer guy.
1:01 you gave your life for everyone in the universe.
We haven't forgotten.
The personality shines through and keeps viewers coming back.
I like the suttle joke that to Paul Rudd aging 5 years is just aging 5 hours
The reminder that Scott Lang is actually smart, and went to MIT.
I really wish we got a series about Nat being the leader of the Avengers and getting Captain Marvel and The Guardians to work together to help people around the universe while dealing with problems on Earth after the snap. Nat seemed way more relaxed after the 5 years but way more focused on the "team" than ever. So I wish had that since the character growth seems great.
Oh wow. This scene is so good.
Steve: Scott, don’t you have an amazing genius way for us to beat Thanos?
Scott: Uh, I dunno. Maybe if I wasn’t under house arrest after the airport battle I could tell ya!
Steve: Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
Scott: I couldn’t see Luis for months you a-hole.
So Scott drove that shitty van from San Francisco to the Avengers compound in upstate NY?
Wait, I just realised that he could’ve shrunk the van and boarded a bird/plane (assuming airport services were running)
@@thebookofdaniel5837 lol I guess that's possible. I'm sure they knew it didn't work timewise but they had get him there. I mean it's a movie with superheroes. Belief has to be suspended anyways.

I watched these movie with zero spoilers so it was AWESOME!!
I adore that Paul Rudd saved the universe. Not antman but Paul Rudd
It's too bad they kept having him play Scott as a dumbass. He was an engineer who became a whistleblower and went to prison for it. He became a goofball to survive there. They should have shown him in at least one movie becoming an engineer again and using his mind. I was so upset with Paul Rudd's portrayal of Scott in _Quantumania_ that when I saw the trailer with him in _Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,_ I wasn't happy. But they took out the scene from the trailer of his maniacal laughter for some reason.
Behold the Real Hero.
The look on Captain Americas face classic ,like damn a small glimpse of hope 😂😂😂😂😂
It's been 5 years, and Widow still hasn't completely grown out the blonde hair from Infinity War?
I thought about that too (bc I dye my hair a lot), and I guess she kept up with the blonde for two or three years after the snap, and then just decided to hell with it and let it grow. I did that during the pandemic. I was considered an essential employee, and I was so damn busy and everything was shut down, I just gave up on keeping up with it after a while.
It's to show she stopped caring about her looks.
This question keep bothering me
Why Thanos didn't destroy the stone s right after the flip.The chaos will cover for the impact signal
He waited 5 years just to be noticed and got killed
To Thanos, the issue was over with the snap. He was done. I don't even think he minded dying. His goal was complete. And he likely had never considered the afterwards more than living on his little farm. So when he's on his farm recuperating, he suddenly realizes that the stones can be used to reverse the snap, so he destroys them.
No he didn't. He destroyed them after he went to his farm planet. After Thanos gets killed by Thor, Endgame cuts to "5 years later."
Cap : Boring philosophy class
Antman : intriguing quantumn physics class
0:22 it's bittersweet that Nat talked about Avengers being her family when half of that family was gone
"Are we talking about a time machine?"
"NO! No. .... Yes."
Scott Lang was the MVP of this movie
And Hawkeye, both were so instrumental in making it work.
Cap's previously unknown superpower is being able to stop himself from giving Natash a hug when she needed it.
The mcu got to the point where time travel was possible, multiverse travel was possible. The mcu became endlessly expansive.
The cheese sandwich had more time in the movie than Captain Marvel😅 in this movie
Telling her "no one has to do this" is kind of silly, it's not like all the bad guys that the Avengers were set up to fight don't exist anymore, on average there's 50% less sure, but there absolutely does need to be someone to run it all.
Paul Rudd finally aged 😂 💀
I love Natasha and it was a shame they killed her character, she had so much potential
In kicking?
Yeah, blame Disney for that! 😤
Nah everything was done with her
@@TheSpecialPlumsEveryoneKnows To be fair, she had another movie for herself, and she probably wanted to quit the role after almost 10 years of doing the same character. Even Dave Bautista wanted to stop being Drax because it was hard to stay in shape. Same goes for Scarlett. Too much expectation for women to look like she does.
I really thought her death was a master stroke in story telling. She knew her past and knew she couldn't make up for it. Her sacrifice was a fine and worthy death.
If I was Scott, I’d have more questions about the raccoon Widow is talking too.
Love how Marvel pays attention to Black widow's hair. She dyed her hair blonde. And in time her natural red hair shows... 👌👌👌
Rocket trying to rizz up black widow 😂😂
It’s cute to think of Rocket sending emails to this Earth woman
I love this scene because of them realizing than 1 less person died from the snap.
The rat that got Scott out is the GOAT of the film
Still love the, "Hi I'm Scott"... oh wait... uh... Antman.
Scott been trap inside the Quantum Realm 5 years
Ultimate X-Spanse:"You don't know that! Says Stewie Griffin!"
nah to him it's five hours
When superhero movies still good...
"Scott... I get emails from a Raccoon... " And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the best proof that Scott is not crazy but the universe around him is.
“We both need to get a life”
“You first” 😭
I don't know if marvel films will ever be as great again as they were at this time. Then the pandemic came and everything changed for the worse.
DAMN.... When I argue with people who say "the MCU isn't as good as it was"....and then I go back and re-watch the old stuff... I realize I'M WRONG!!! I miss when MCU was great!!
Since the release of Endgame, the only movie that was actually decent was GoG Vol. 3.
but that's not a bad thing.
"A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts"
Scott lang started the series what if. Right here!
This thing is what bothers me ever since I watched this movie, time going slower or faster doesn't mean you can go back in time. Having 1st gear or 5th gear doesn't mean you also have a back gear.
Back gear? Shouldn't it be called reverse?
Wait, she used to have nothing? What about her foster family? The one from her own movie? The one that happened before this one? It's almost as if a lot after endgame wasn't planned.
Well she hadn’t seen her family in a long time, plus she doesn’t like to talk about her past, and her foster family was snapped away
The real question, why did Scott drive from San Francisco to the Avenger's place in Upstate New York?
Ant man is definitely one of my favorite mcu characters he got the best humor too!
