Actually, bugs can fall that high. Even squirels can. It's about terminal velocity and momentum. An ant is light, it would need to go really fast to have enough momentum to cause a deadly impact. But due to air friction, it can never reach a speed close to that needed for the said deadly impact. Just thought you'd want to know :P

[@swordmonkey6635]

Yeah, ants are built tough too with their skeletons (exoskeletons) on the outside acting like a suit of armor. If they're like other insects, their muscles are fluid and so can take more abuse as long as the limbs are in tact.

[@dhorn4005]

That's not the point. The size of a mouse and of a goat; their metabolism, their body...is hugelly different. When doing experiments, scientist always start with mice or similar small rodents; not only because they are cheaper; but also because their metabolism is so fast the effects of drugs, radiation or any other side-effect affects them much more and mcuh earlier than to other bigger mamals... testing in say, cocroaches or lizards; usually is useless; as they are so different to us that any experiment done on them is rarelly indicative of how the same product would affect on humans. Once you have sucsessfully completed the experiments on mice and only then, you start doing the experiments bigger animals (after all, your endgame is human application, rigth?) such as rabbits, goats, pigs or even monkeys... wathever animal is closer to humans both in size, inmune sistem or any other parameters important to the test. An example: I want to test a drug to cure headaches: let say ibuprofen. If you give that drug to a mouse, it wil die due to internal bleeding. Their metabolism is so fast, a common blood thiner like ibuprofen gets their blood pumping so fast, their veins brake...it is literally poison for them. You test the exact same drug it in rabbit: it's blood preasure elevates, but as their boddy is bigger and the veins are stronger, it does not get inner bleeding. You feed again the very same drug to a monkey: it does not negativelly affect them. Now you can surelly asume the drug is completelly fine to be tested in humans. So, knowing they have alredy made the step to testing with bigger 'mamals' (if comparing to a mouse) indicates Hope two things: either the Cross particle is almost ready to be tested with humans (bad thing for the good guys) or Cross is ignoring the most basic scientific prtocols to acelerate the procces, jumping to bigger animals when the particle has not been fully tested in smaller ones first (also bad for the good guys)... that's why Hope is shown preocuppied.

In the comics he stole the Ant-Man suit on order to rescue his daughter Cassie from some bad people who were holding her hostage, and Hank let him keep the suit,

19:24 There are no "one offs" in the MCU. The entire MCU connects to all other parts of the MCU. Yes, we will see Ant-Man alongside the Avengers someday!

[@flatebo1]

The Hulk movie was a one-off. In the sense that they haven't made any more - and probably won't. Sure, Hulk shows up elsewhere. Just not in his own movies. And the Netflix/Hulu series are really on the fringes of the MCU. They reference events from Avengers, but never really interact with the movie side of the MCU.

[@DrekeXorn13]

@@flatebo1 I disagree because she implies a one-off would be a movie that has no connections to other parts of the MCU, which is false for Incredible Hulk for several reasons. One, we later see General Ross again, twice in fact. Two, Agents of Shield mentions Abomination, but perhaps you don't consider AoS canon, which is fine. Three, Bruce learning how to control the Hulk at the end of that movie resulted in one of the best lines and scenes in the first Avengers movie. Four, the upcoming She-Hulk Disney+ series will once again bring back Tim Roth as Abomination. Five, the serum given to Tim Roth's character was an attempt at recreating Captain America's super soldier serum. Six, Bruce mentions breaking Harlem in the Avengers film, referencing the events of the movie. Last one I can think of off the top of my head is Tony Stark literally walking in and meeting with Ross in the end credit scene

[@flatebo1]

@@DrekeXorn13 Depends on how you interpret the phrase "one-off". I take it to mean a movie with no sequels. A "One of One", if you will. Like the plan is to introduce a character in their own movie, then perhaps have them show up in other films, but not be the headliner. Guest-starring. But since the character has already had their own origin movie, the audience knows who they are and what they can do without needing to shoehorn that character's origin into the film. And yes, elements of the Hulk movie were referenced elsewhere. At the same time, the fact that Bruce is being actively hunted by Ross is pretty much just ignored. They set up an origin for The Leader - also ignored thus far. They introduced Doc Sampson - ignored. Jim Wilson - ignored. Because they're Hulk supporting characters/enemies which Marvel probably doesn't have the rights to. All of which makes Hulk a bit like Venom and Morbius. Both those characters are tied to Spider-Man, but not the MCU. You might also consider Inhumans a bit on the one-off side since they pretty much disappeared without a trace after the spectacular failure of that series.

I mean, that's not really why... it helps, but the actual reason has to do with mass vs surface area and terminal velocity. They're so small that the max speed they can reach from falling isn't fast enough to hurt them when they land because the impact force is too small.

Bugs can most definitely survive falls from that high. They weigh next to nothing so their terminal velocity is really low.

7:41 Ants would survive that type of fall actually. It has to do with gravity vs wind resistance, bugs weight so little that the force gravity makes on them is less than the wind resistance, thus they never get enough speed while falling to hurt themselves.

im so happy your pumping these MCU movies out :D i love watching you get so invested, and when you said you thought ant man is just a one and done, just know every film in the MCU is there for a reason :D and they really do come full circle, cant wait for your next reaction!!

[@ranwolf7650]

7:30 fun fact: the actor in the car, Garrett Morris, played Ant-Man many years ago in a SNL sketch

[@mtsquad]

You are so intuitive! I remember fighting on the Internet defending this movie before it was made. I hope you enjoyed it Is much as I did.

[@WOLFMAN1469]

"Get a drink, grab a snack. Kick on back, and lets react!" You're welcome.

[@WOLFMAN1469]

The diet version is: "Munch down your rice cake, Chug your kale smoothie. Now hold on to your butts, Cause we about watch this here movie."

[@ArlanKels]

She's now done with Phase 2. And I hope she has tissues ready for Phase 3.

[@Leon-wz1js]

personally I favor: Grab a drink, and a snack, It's time for reactions with Nat.

[@JW666]

Hank Pym is the original Ant Man in the comics, but they decided to focus on the 2nd Ant Man, which is Scott Lang, and having Hank as an elderly mentor because in the comics the character of Hank had some serious issues (especially in the Ultimate comics).

[@JLOFlix]

Great job, Natalie! You're always a delight to watch! SO much funzies!

[@sashmiel6566]

This is one of my new favorite reactions, especially at the tank part.

Love from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The actress that plays Hope also plays Kate in the show LOST. Which you should totally watch.

[@htsbrickreviews]

“We have to go back!”

[@queenannsrevenge100]

I just started re-watching this last night! I love that Nat goes from “I couldn’t be a superhero with all these bugs, ick!” to: “NO, ANT-THONY! WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!?!?” 😀

[@bryanlee2298]

Probably one of the funniest ones in the MCU, up there with GOTG1!!

[@toshomni9478]

This and the sequel with the Wasp might be my favorite MCU movies, believe it or not.

[@sempervigilo7961]

Just a bit of history - Hank Pym was first introduced in the comics in 1962. The story was called, "The Man in the Ant Hill." He reappeared in 1963, in costume, as Ant-Man in the first issue of The Avengers (he and the Wasp were founding members).

[@donsample1002]

Bugs and small animals,such as mice, can survive falls from pretty much any height. Their air resistance, compared to their mass is so small that they have very low terminal velocities.

[@SeanRCope]

Ridley Scott’s first movie, The Duelists... I think you’d enjoy it.

[@NatalieGoldReacts]

Thanks!!

[@barkingmonkee]

It's been ages since Ive seen it but I have fond memories of The Duelists. Might be a little obscure for a rxn vid though.

[@jamesmayes4351]

@@NatalieGoldReacts The Duelists is an amazing movie and sets the gold standard for actual sword fights in a movie.

[@SeanRCope]

@@barkingmonkee I get the feeling she’s more involved in the movie business than is apparent to the eye. She likes Ridleys movies I’ve heard.

[@MargaretCSullivan]

I love the Ant-Man movies and didn't really expect to. They're funny and really charming. Paul Rudd is adorable and the supporting characters, especially Luis and his crew, are hilarious. And don't sleep on this story because the quantum realm and Scott play a really big role in the Infinity Wars story arc.

[@Mrthescholz]

Omg I love watching with you, your insights and emotions are great.

[@JadesOfGrey]

Your videos are literally the highlight of my week

[@brutishwing2.090]

Wooaahh two Marvel films in a row, feeling blessed

[@chickennugget9254]

Idk why people hate bugs. Insects are like one of the cleanest creatures, ants among them.

[@travisspazz1624]

Love the Cure needle drop!!

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Fun fact: In the Marvel comic books Hope Van Dyne is a supervillainess named Red Queen, but here they make her good. Scott's daughter grows up to becomes the superheroine Stinger, by using a suit based on the Ant-Man suit, but with wings and wrist blasters. She also dates the adopted son of Doctor Doom.

[@cf714_]

Already done with phase 2 ;( time flies. Excited for Phase 3, the longest and best one

[@bingbong4427]

Nat....." Hard to top Guardians for comedy" Thor....." hold my beer"

[@spydey2k]

Like Thor would let anyone take away his beers.

[@3Rayfire]

Then refill it.

[@MatiZ815]

I think Vol. 2 is the funniest in the MCU. And the most moving at the same time.

[@JedHead77]

The director of these films did the creepy crawly spider episode, as well as the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian. So he’s had experience in making actors appear younger. 😉

[@SpencerMorris1982]

Love watching you go through the MCU

[@reallivebluescat]

"bugs can't fall that far". Yes that is exactly what they can

[@Anderson_Lopes]

"1989. I was about to say that's not long ago, but actually it is" That hurts, Natalie...

[@ArlanKels]

If someone had told me a year ago Natalie would be sad and almost cry over a dead ant I would've.. Yea I would've believed it. RIP Ant-thony.

[@ismaelali9422]

Phase 3 is amazing, can't wait for the rest of the reactions!

[@Schuler001]

Natalie at the start: I don't like bugs Natalie at the end: Antony! NO!

[@kiwichlofro3733]

Guys please don’t tell her what to expect with the next couple movies. Let her figure it out on her own! Just like you did when we first watched these.

[@lastlegend9657]

I mean unlike her, we had trailers to give us expectations. I personally think a certain trailer for an upcoming movie that teased a certain hero at the end was part of the overall experience, and why a lot of people flocked to the theaters to see it.

[@kiwichlofro3733]

@@lastlegend9657 I don’t think that gives us the right to spoil anything in the comments. It’s still her choice she could watch the trailers if she wants to, some people choose not to. I don’t think we should take away that choice just because it’s there

[@bigdream_dreambig]

@@lastlegend9657 If I already know I want to watch a movie, I purposely avoid watching its trailers -- going so far as to close my eyes, put my hands over my ears, and hum quietly to myself if I'm in a movie theater where they're showing it. Trailers have just become too spoiler-y, even if only for great small moments. Why ruin them for myself?

[@ernieramos2792]

Shes already seen them. You think her spot on "guesses" are a coincidence?

[@blacktronlego]

In the comic books Ant-Man (Hank Pym) was one of the founders of the Avengers. He was kicked out but Wasp, who had been married to him continued as a member.

[@najhoant]

3:37 I can't help but suspect that robbery was inserted into the backstory during reshoots to make Scott more sympathetic; the dialogue in the rest of the movie fits better with Scott being a former career criminal than a whistleblower who did one big break-in to expose a corrupt corporation
