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.

I have a headcanon that during the night where Ultron appeared, when they were drinking and seeing who can lift Thor's hammer.

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.

Scott was a genius. He basically came up with a whole plan to save/bring back EVERYONE. Ant-Man doesn't get enough credit as one of the greatest super heroes. Ant-Man 3 didn't do his character justice

I can't imagine the 'portals scene' with only 20 people in a theater all with stupid masks on. This film NEEDED to be seen in a packed theater. It was SO MAGICAL.
holy fuck, there's an alternate timeline where Covid struck a year early and just fucked up the climax hype of Endgame lol. i feel bad for that timeline, damn.
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
I just love her trajectory across the series. She goes from slightly more than eye candy in Iron Man 2, to holding her own as an Avenger, to holding the team together at their lowest point, then goes out saving the universe.
“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.
@@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.
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).
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
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.
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
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
[3:06] if you look at the background where Scott, aka Antman, was talking about the possibility of time travel. If you look very closely at that background, you can see what seems to be a miniature tardis from Doctor Who
@@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.
ant-man and the wasp are founding members of the Avengers in the comics, so i thought it was nice that the writers and directors had Scott be the reason for the Avengers to try again and reassemble to right some wrongs.
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.
@@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.
If I was stuck somewhere very VERY small for five hours... only to get out and find out 5 years have passed and half the people on the planet is wiped out... I'd probably need a couple of drinks. Then double them! 😮
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.
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.
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.
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.
Something I don't think many people talk about in this scene, is the tone that Steve and Natasha have when Scott comes up on the feed. This isn't just a case of "someone who was considered dead is now alive" this is someone that Steve and Natasha both recognized who they haven't seen in OVER 5 years. Like Scott said, the last time they encountered each other was in Civil War at the airport, and typically every person in the Avengers has contact with each other, they use space holograms, phones, text messages, and even emails from a raccoon as Natasha says in order to communicate stay up to date and everything. But Scott is one of the few they've never had full contact with, I don't even remember how Sam got in contact with "mr tic-tac". So for Steve and Natasha to be shocked that the guy- who the last time they saw him he was giant and throwing a wing of an airplane at them. Was considered dead and now be alive must've been an extreme joyful emotion from them for someone that they barely even know.
It's not ruined by a joke, but the humor is still there. "We need to get a life." "You first." That's funny, but it's the subdued humor between friends when the truth is too painful to admit it openly.
@@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 Avengers Endgame was like a 4hr movie, I’d like to see a scene of the big brains put together talking about Quantum Theory and navigating the quantum realm. Just Tony Stark, Rocket Raccoon, Professor Hulk just yapping and eating snacks discussing it
The problem here, which they don't really address (and that's fine, I've seen the move fifty times and I love it), is that while time might flow more slowly in the Quantum Realm, it still only flows in one direction.
If five hours in the Quantum Realm equals five years in our reality then it would stand to reason the shorter amount of time in the Quantum Realm, like one second, would translate into reversing time in our reality. Theoretically, one second in the Quantum Realm would not equal one second in our reality. Mathematically it must go in reverse.
That's why Paul Rudd ages slower than everyone else.

Glad this movie was released before covid, and I can experience the awesome cinema reaction
I can't imagine the 'portals scene' with only 20 people in a theater all with stupid masks on. This film NEEDED to be seen in a packed theater. It was SO MAGICAL.
Marvel genuinely got lucky after all, but so did cinema in 2019. what a year to close off the decade really.
@@Frankie2012channel Why would the masks matter
@@wooaahh23 For some of us, when we go to the theater, we keep our eyes on other people's faces. You mean you don't?
holy fuck, there's an alternate timeline where Covid struck a year early and just fucked up the climax hype of Endgame lol. i feel bad for that timeline, damn.
3:20 "I know it sounds crazy." "Scott? I get emails from a raccoon. So. Nothing sounds crazy anymore."
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
I think this scene is Johansen's best acting and look in the MCU
I agree! I've always loved her as an actress! ❤
I just love her trajectory across the series. She goes from slightly more than eye candy in Iron Man 2, to holding her own as an Avenger, to holding the team together at their lowest point, then goes out saving the universe.
Perhaps best acting in the MCU, not overall. Watch Lost in Translation.
@@MrErizid Oh for sure. She's definitely got better acting roles in movies outside the MCU.
Yeah, her toned down homey appearance is high key the most beautiful and attractive.

I cant unhear it now lol

For scale
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

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
Same
“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.
I like how the clip starts off by Steve saying that people should grow… like Ant-Man does
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_thong true
I'd be dying for a sandwich after that too
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
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.
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.
Same
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.
him casually eating while explaining time travel was great 😂
that rat saved everyone
"Scott, I get emails from a raccoon.... Nothing's Crazy."
Trying to imagine Rocket typing on a keyboard is fucking hilarious😂😂😂
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?
Ant-Man gets treated like a joke when he’s the ONLY reason everyone got to come back to life. It’s not fair.
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.
@@Frankie2012channel R.I.P. REAL MCU (2008-2019). We'll miss you 3000!
Bananas ❤
@@IronMan-tk8ucagreed, both Spider-Man NWH and GOTG3 count after the Infinity Saga at least. Same with the Loki series. In terms of quality.
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
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.
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.
I love it how down to earth things are.
[3:06] if you look at the background where Scott, aka Antman, was talking about the possibility of time travel.
If you look very closely at that background, you can see what seems to be a miniature tardis from Doctor Who
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.
"I get e-mails from a raccoon."
Scott has never heard of Rocket at this point. That must have sounded so random.
Nah, Scott has experience with creatures being able to communicate/do tasks and stuff. Yknow, cuz he’s ant-man.
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 get the time moves slower in that quantamrealm, but to extend that into going back in time is completely different..
“So who do we talk to about this?” The man himself
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😂
People make light of these films but some of them are excellent.
ant-man and the wasp are founding members of the Avengers in the comics, so i thought it was nice that the writers and directors had Scott be the reason for the Avengers to try again and reassemble to right some wrongs.
“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 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.
1:01 you gave your life for everyone in the universe.
We haven't forgotten.
I love how Scott is perfectly happy being Cap and Widow's sidekick.
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.
@@tmoore4075 Yh, that’s true lol
@@thebookofdaniel5837 I doubt it, he would be keenly aware of their limited amount of PYM particles.
The story of a Super Hero, a van and 3000 miles, Ant Man: Road Trip is coming to theaters in 2026
Him talking about Hope 2:11 😞
If I was stuck somewhere very VERY small for five hours... only to get out and find out 5 years have passed and half the people on the planet is wiped out... I'd probably need a couple of drinks. Then double them! 😮
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.
If there is something important like time travel you have to talk with the right guy and this guy is always the farmer guy.
2:02 the bow on the wall is strung backwards
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.
The personality shines through and keeps viewers coming back.
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.
The look on Captain Americas face classic ,like damn a small glimpse of hope 😂😂😂😂😂
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
I like the suttle joke that to Paul Rudd aging 5 years is just aging 5 hours
Oh wow. This scene is so good.
The reminder that Scott Lang is actually smart, and went to MIT.
Imagine what they both felt when they saw Scott... The first recorded case of someone who they thought was snapped and came back
I watched these movie with zero spoilers so it was AWESOME!!
Love how Marvel pays attention to Black widow's hair. She dyed her hair blonde. And in time her natural red hair shows... 👌👌👌
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.
Paul Rudd finally aged 😂 💀
Behold the Real Hero.
I adore that Paul Rudd saved the universe. Not antman but Paul Rudd
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.
And then bro invents time travel in one night
Well, you know, with his genius super computer assistant
at this point we know that, the RAT is real hero
Cap's previously unknown superpower is being able to stop himself from giving Natash a hug when she needed it.
Cap : Boring philosophy class
Antman : intriguing quantumn physics class
"I get emails from a racoon. Nothing sounds crazy anymore.:
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.
Something I don't think many people talk about in this scene, is the tone that Steve and Natasha have when Scott comes up on the feed.
This isn't just a case of "someone who was considered dead is now alive" this is someone that Steve and Natasha both recognized who they haven't seen in OVER 5 years.
Like Scott said, the last time they encountered each other was in Civil War at the airport, and typically every person in the Avengers has contact with each other, they use space holograms, phones, text messages, and even emails from a raccoon as Natasha says in order to communicate stay up to date and everything. But Scott is one of the few they've never had full contact with, I don't even remember how Sam got in contact with "mr tic-tac".
So for Steve and Natasha to be shocked that the guy- who the last time they saw him he was giant and throwing a wing of an airplane at them. Was considered dead and now be alive must've been an extreme joyful emotion from them for someone that they barely even know.
What a magical scene, the avengers compound is such a magical place, who would not want to hang out there with all those superheroes😊
The seriousness of the conversation Capt Rogers and widow have, not being ruined by a joke, shows you this is "classic" marvel
It's not ruined by a joke, but the humor is still there. "We need to get a life." "You first." That's funny, but it's the subdued humor between friends when the truth is too painful to admit it openly.
"Are we talking about a time machine?"
"NO! No. .... Yes."
0:22 it's bittersweet that Nat talked about Avengers being her family when half of that family was gone
man it feels like yesterday
The cheese sandwich had more time in the movie than Captain Marvel😅 in this movie
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
Probably would have stayed in there if it weren't for that Rat Ex Machina
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.
I love this scene because of them realizing than 1 less person died from the snap.
Scott lang started the series what if. Right here!
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.
Scott Lang was the MVP of this movie
And Hawkeye, both were so instrumental in making it work.
No, the rat who released him is. The rat was the creature that Dr. Strange envisioned.
If Avengers Endgame was like a 4hr movie, I’d like to see a scene of the big brains put together talking about Quantum Theory and navigating the quantum realm. Just Tony Stark, Rocket Raccoon, Professor Hulk just yapping and eating snacks discussing it
The rat that got Scott out is the GOAT of the film
Ant man is definitely one of my favorite mcu characters he got the best humor too!
I do this all the time at a consioness level its how i am writing over my trauma and coming out stonger also altering my physique to be younger lol
The problem here, which they don't really address (and that's fine, I've seen the move fifty times and I love it), is that while time might flow more slowly in the Quantum Realm, it still only flows in one direction.
If five hours in the Quantum Realm equals five years in our reality then it would stand to reason the shorter amount of time in the Quantum Realm, like one second, would translate into reversing time in our reality. Theoretically, one second in the Quantum Realm would not equal one second in our reality. Mathematically it must go in reverse.
