Howard and Tony have boundary issues, which is why Pym is so hesitant to trust them since, while they mean well, things have a tendency to explode in ways that they don't expect and/or never wanted to happen. But that doesn't mean he hates them: he just understands there's a difference between being a good person and being a responsible person.

“He’s no security risk, unless we make him one.” This is essentially the mindset that tends to not be considered when people attempt to destroy perceived threats. Some people are just content to live their own lives, and then someone comes in and tries to kill them and then they come back to rain fire and brimstone. This is actually a recurring theme in most media and has happened in the MCU as well.

[@Lasarius]

john wick is a good example of this

[@marckempe2143]

@@Lasarius actually, no it isn’t. First, because John Wick was never exclusively a perceived threat, he was an inactive threat. He was essentially a hornet’s nest that a dumbass disturbed. And, second, what caused him to return to his old ways was an entitled punk who was high on his own self importance and his nose raised up to the point that he doesn’t realize who is around him. Then, of course, there was what Iosef perceived as a sleight against him, as if everyone should instinctively fear him. And of course, let’s not forget how Iosef murdered John’s puppy days after the death of his wife, the same puppy that his wife gifted him so he would have someone to help him with his grief. Had Iosef simply kicked John’s ass and stolen his car, Viggo would have beaten his son, returned John’s car and forced Iosef to beg for forgiveness.

[@marckempe2143]

@@halamadridpatriotsnationgo1057 a security risk is someone or something that poses a threat against the security or interests of another party, company, or country through action or information. Hank Pym is not a security risk because he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize the safety of the country because that would jeopardize the safety of his daughter. He has been apart of S.H.I.E.L.D. long enough to know what his actions could cause, short or long term, and he knows that such results wouldn’t be worth it for some petty payback. He’s a scientist through and through, so he knows about earning knowledge through dedicated research and extensive experiments. He earned his knowledge from his experience and therefore he takes accountability for it and never once has he ever given up his research to anyone who would use it for their own personal benefit. That is not only being responsible, it is understanding how your actions can affect others. ‘What If’ actually goes into what could have happened had Hope died working for S.H.I.E.L.D. and how that could push Pym over the edge.

[@franciscoangel3151]

Part of the reason why this de-aging looks so well (and still remains the best I've seen) is that Michael Douglas has robust filmography for them to reference and draw from to make it work. He looks like himself from his 80s/early 90s era for sure.

[@toddsmitts]

I think they mentioned it's a double edged sword. Yes, you have a lot of reference to draw from, but it also means that you absolutely have to get it right or everyone will notice because they know what 80's Michael Douglas looked like.

[@Itzgamerelated]

The ONLY reason we know it isn’t CGI is because Michael Douglas is 78 years old, other than that, if I wouldn’t have known him as an actor, this was absolutely convincing, one of, if not the BEST CGI scenes in Hollywood

[@ravenspropshop]

I think Carson forgot for a moment that Hank is also a soldier and not just a skinny scientist working in a lab. You can see the thoughts behind starks closed eyes of “uh oh shouldn’t have said that”

They made a good point. Pym particles would have a 1000 more useful applications than playing soldier. Imagine curing diseases like cancer by studying it up close or making leaps in stellar travel by making smaller spaceships to fit more astronauts

Specifically with cancer you could go into the body and destroy the tumor without having to harm the body or you could just shrink it into the quantum realm

[@carterd5364]

I hope you all realize that this wasn’t some big film, and yet still, we get a scene showing already established characters, therefore tying the universe as a whole together. In phase 4 we got none of that. The MCU right now has many problems, but THAT is the biggest one. We need to see different characters INTERACT. Things need to start CONNECTING!

[@shoverload5135]

what part of phase four didn’t connect or have ties to something else. Not trying to fight just want to hear what you mean

[@Can_O_Crayola]

@@shoverload5135 She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Shang Chi, they've all provided very, very loose threads of plot connections without really bringing anything to the table. They should've taken a page from Fury's Big Week. The original avengers had nothing in common with each other, but SHIELD tied their plot threads into the Avengers Initiative. These ones have failed to really do that or meaningfully provide a larger frame for the MCU's storytelling. You could take those three stories out of the MCU entirely and nothing at all would change.

De-aging after this is good. Like with Nick Fury (In Captain Marvel), Doc Ock (In Spider-Man No Way Home), Stan Lee (In Avengers Endgame), etc.

At least Howard was considerate enough to not engage him and to let that situation go, mans knew to respect those wishes unlike the man Hank punched square in the face, who we see working for Darren later.

[@TheTurdle]

Is Howard the only one in this scene with his real face?

[@MyCarnageExtreme]

Crazy rigth? 😂

[@GT-wo2oj]

1:14 "don't let you'r past determine the future" is 100% the sum up theme line in the screenplay! it's a well worn and classic technique in screenwriting to have a line in the first scene that sums up the overarching theme of the whole film, It doesn't even half to be in the truest context. There very common but one off the top of my head is from Hot Fuzz when in the first scene our main character says "you can't just make people disappear".

[@zyluw7238]

[@calebowens693]

I've long wanted an Ant-Man show on Disney Plus. Either Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne as Ant-Man and Wasp doing spy stuff in the 60's and 70's or Eric O'Grady as Ant-Man in a comedy series after Scott Lang is done being Ant-Man. Honestly, they could do both of those ideas and I would watch both.

[@garyschwendner5989]

The next day after seeing Ant-Man quantumania I watched this movie again to see what was missing in the new movie, I guess the answer is everything. Maybe didn't appreciate it enough when it first came out but what a great movie.

Hank Pym left Shield over 30 years ago. It was back when the woman that Captain America loved was in charge. Nick Fury would have been a rookie back then.

[@sethsholtis5297]

People can make all the jokes about Ant-Man they want. But the fact that this is how Peggy Carter and Howard Stark reacted to someone suggesting they try to take his formula by force, really says a lot about how dangerous an opponent Hank Pym really was. If he was wearing the suit in the movie instead of Scott Lang, I guarantee they would see Ant-Man as the badass he has the potential to be.

[@oncer95]

I was seeing how Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD at its early stages

[@jeanbob1481]

Yeah Scott was OK but they made him super comic relief guy. Impossible to take him seriously at all despite him having some pretty kickass feats to his name

Going to be honest, Michael Douglas is the last actor I expected to be in the MCU or a superhero movie. But man he was good as Hank Pym.

Back when I saw this for the first time it was so easy to empathize with Hank mainly because mitch carson was garbage. He was willing to steal his research and had no shame. After seeing the second movie, I started wondering, all those relationships could have ended differently if it he had been straight with Darren Cross, Elias Starr, Bill Foster and others since the beginning
