[@mohammedalshirawi7584]

Honestly my stance is since the old man was a contract killer who came for them, there is no justification for his actions and they are free to execute him. Though good characters should at the very least give the money to his daughter who was sick and maybe arrange for her to be healed. The giant was not immediately a threat and I would be more likely to try a non violent route with a non evil character.

[@ChosenTripster01]

i'd have no problem killing an assassin who's already attempted to murder me :p but that giant is possibly being controlled and might have actually been friendly, some giants are good natured simpletons

Bob WILL go where ant-man was never allowed to go!

[@keepironman14]

Actually i think kyle hill did the math on that and antman could not do that without crushing himself in the process. The movies don't handle the science part properly. They claim same mass which would make antman into a WMD for moving his limbs. But it also shows him standing on people and guns which would mean his mass would have also be reduced. As well HANK PYM HAD A WORKING TANK ON A KEYCHAIN. which means mass MUST be changed equal to size alteration. (Otherwise the tank would bore a hole through the earth like a needle through cloth)
