Do you all realise a RAT is responsible for Endgame?

The whole plotline of Endgame revolves around Ant-Man returning from the Quantum Realm and basically telling them how time travel is possible, and Tony Stark works out the finer details of it, right?

But Ant-Man was stuck in the QR for years on our side, because those monitoring the experiment he was part of fizzled out of existence thanks to Thanos, and so the modified white van and everything else was eventually put into storage. But a rat wandering over the control panel turned on the machine inside and out he popped, ready to advance the plot.

Who would've thought it? Without that lucky rat, there would've been no Endgame, and Thanos would have still won.

I did. Even the Russo brothers stated the rat was the real hero of the film.

Really that’s so cool ?

It’s cool to see directors being so fine with jokes and having a good sense of humor, one would think with all the pressure if releasing a film they would be very serious but it’s cool they say the rat saved the universe lol

Does it terrify anyone else that Ant Man was going to be suspended in nothingness for ETERNITY were it not for a chance rat treading on the machine? It’s a fate too disturbing to contemplate.

it wouldn't have been eternity it would have only been however long his oxygen lasted or until he died of no food/water. he was already really hungry when he got out asking for that sandwich.

But wasn’t Dr Pym’s wife lost in there for decades with no food, and presumably for eternity if she wasn’t rescued?

She would have died eventually?

[–] Drooch (5333) 5 years ago

From what?

[–] orangeflava (1727) 5 years ago

Old age. She aged in there. But maybe I'm confused about the whole thing....

Tony told him it was a billion to one.

Not really a rat -- Bran was warging into it in the future to save the universe.

Poor writing is the only responsible for Endgame.

I think it's his second successful foray into show business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPXUG8q4jKU

Rat should get his own solo film.
