Ant-Man

spoilerThe first Ant Man had this rule where any objects that are shrunk will stay as the weight they originally were. Yet Hank Pym carries around a shrunken tank on a keychain! Scandalous!

One can surmise it's actually a life-sized model kit tank made out of cheap plastic, akin to how it works in Ground Defense Force! Mao-Chan.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Wrll there is also a scene in one of the movies where a plastic thomas the tank engine toy gets huge and crushes a police car. The toy that should jot weigh more than 200g crushes a car ....

But it drove through a concrete wall!

[–] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s a really well made toy tank?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Or a very badly made wall...

Tofu dreg construction, perhaps.

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I think one of the theories is that Hank doesn't actually know how Pym particles work and it's basically magic. Because if you watch it keeping weight in mind none of it makes sense.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did they explain why in endgame a pym particles vial is only used once per person? While in other ant-man movies a vial of pym particles can be used multiple times.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, they didn't have enough left because Hank Pym was dusted.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Remember when Scott was about to test the time machine? They have 2 vials to use. He accidentally shrunk himself and he said they only have 1 left for the test. The 2 vials are full before they used it. He used a full vial of pym particles just to shrink down.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Because they have to shrink down to the quantum realm and come back. It uses more. It's also never made clear how many particles are in the vials or if they're full or how many a normal shrinking takes. But it is established multiple times that they have a limited supply and only enough to the job. Also, it's a comic book movie.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

didn't he "refine/improve" the process or something?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Comic book movies are cheating at this game.
