There are TONS of characters that show up in Marvel's Avengers Endgame.

Now, the MVP of the episode is pretty obvious, but I want to talk about the one, tiny hero you probably missed. The rat. Which rat? Why the rat that brought back Ant-Man and made it possible for the Avengers to save the world. What are the odds? Well, you're about to find out!

[@FilmTheory]

To everyone asking whether I calculated the rats repopulating, I did and just cut it before the final draft because it got too pedantic and lost in it's own numbers. Also, we wind back up at 50 rats anyway. Here's what got cut in case you were curious: "That means that at the beginning of five years, we're dealing with 50-ish rats in Scott Lang's area, which would replenish to their population carrying capacity in the course of just a few generations. Given that rat food supplies might be lower now that there are only half the people on the world, let's assume that they don’t get back to the full 100 rat population in Scott's immediate area, but that they make a good 50% surge back up to 75 rats roving all over Scott. Realistically it's almost impossible to know for our specific area exactly how many rats would be here, but we're making our best assumption right now and I'm trying to at least give Scott a fighting chance. So over the course of the six months after the Great Snap, rats would have pretty much bounced back, given that a new generation of rat babies is ready to go every six weeks. To get our final number, we’ll assume that an average-sized rat community would have at most around 50 rats out searching for food at any given time, since about a third of them are statistically in the nest at a given time."

also worth noting the rat population would likely have recovered from the snap pretty quickly, just from breeding patterns, but then the loss of half the human population means less trash, but it also means a lot of unguarded food, so its hard to say exactly WHAT would happen to the rat population in 5 years.

[@a50ftfall6]

And even solidify this theory even more even if half the rats have been snapped out of existence I can tell you rats breed pretty fast so they're probably going to get their numbers back up to normal in a few months

[@Albino_Basilisk]

Probably even more rats than usual since their predators who were also cut in half aren’t guaranteed to repopulate as fast as rats, and then when the snap is undone, all those missing rats return which would mean the mcu will be taken over by rats

It was actually a NightWing rat. It saw all the futures and knew it needed to step on a button. It only took five years for it to find it since its visions were (as visions should be) kinda cryptic.

[@jackdaniels7040]

There's also a fair chance that in 5 year period in between the snap and the time when the rat does step on the button, the rat population will have doubled... Maybe even tripped. When Scott gets back and is looking around the garbage level seems to be through the roof. And the number of people killing the rats is also substantially lower. So I believe the rat population at the time of Scotts revival have not been halved... But substantially increased. That means that the overall chance that a rat would step on the button has possibly skyrocketed.

You forgot to factor in rat breeding rates. In the time after the snap, to the start of endgame, rat populations would have more than recovered. In fact, with rats already being a dominant (even borderline oppressive) player in the city biomes, a 50% cut in the population of their main predator (Humans) should cause an astronomical explosion in rat populations.

IMO, they wanted to nod at a time when Squirrel-Girl beat Thanos in the comics.

[@MooSuh23]

Dr. Strange said there were 14,000,605 possible outcomes of the coming conflict. I'd like to think that the other 14,000,604 possibilities were just the rat not exactly hitting that specific button at the right time 😂

[@creeper_playz87]

Exactly

[@Kittsuera]

well if Stark had too much time to think about it he would not have done what needed to be done at the right time or given away the thinking of how he would have done it. so combine that with the rat and bam all the stars align.

[@thepunslinger9349]

I think a great number of them are depending on how well the heroes play keep away with the infinity gauntlet at the end. There wasn't much room for error.

[@mvpmvp3861]

There was likely a outcome where the rat does get Scott out, but Scott gets fatally hit by a car right after. Or a reality where the rat free's Scott, but Hawkeye gets killed in Japan, so it's harder/impossible for them to get the soul stone.

[@AddilynneLastname]

you also completely forgot to take into account that populations (especially rodent populations) grow exponentially so assuming that there are no predators 50 rats could literally turn into almost 20,000 in a year (the ratio is 1 becomes 650 in a year due to the large liter size and extremely short gestation period), so if you factor that in the rat nest could be literally anywhere in the city and it would still 100% guarantee that the button is pressed even if that was the only rats nest in the entire city

[@RaphBlade7]

Now I am just waiting for an MCU film, TV show, animated series, MCU comic, or even a video game about the rat who freed Ant-Man! Heck, maybe Marvel could have Ant-Man adopt the rat as a pet whom he could ride on into battle!
