The movie did say Ant-man became lighter when he shrunk, but his strength stayed the same. What doesn’t make sense is when ant-man gets giant and gains super strength.

[@dandynoble2875]

My favorite explanation for the inconsistency of the tech is that Pimm just gave the quickest, easiest explanation Scott/the audience would understand, but it's actually more complicated. Though it wouldn't even have been hard to explain it in a way that fits what we see in the movie: if the suit can do both shrinking the space between atoms and decreasing/increasing the size of said atoms, and this can be done together or swapped at will, then everything works. Which doesn't even technically contradict the idea that they retain their mass, since technically they'd still be made up of the same amount of material.

[@protorhinocerator142]

Nah, it just works that way because it's cool.

Thor: The Dark World isn't bland...it is one the few actually bad marvel movies...

Hue Hue can’t really call it bad since it only did a few (20)million less than a freaking Superman movie. It does have problems, but Marvel has built up enough good will, from good movies, that it sort of gets a pass.
