Current Events > It's disappointing they forgot Scott Lang is an electrical engineer...

(+) Yeah! (+)

We know Paul Rudd is hilarious but the character can be used for more than just a joke delivery system.

He should be an intelligent dude with legitimate contributions.

you mean the guy who suggested the whole time travel thing that helped the heroes win...? id say he did his part

electrical engineering isn't quantum physics, not sure what else you expected from him

There is a large league of difference between "electrical engineer" and "being useful when creating experimental quantum shrinking technology."

Did you not watch Endgame?

Electrical Engineer is impressive unless you are comparing him to what kind of intelligence exists within the MCU.

It's disappointing that the rat that freed Scott never got any gratitude.

Idk all the electrical engineer s who design our systems seem pretty fucking stupid to me

Are you suggesting that only the brilliant mind of Scott Lang could have deduced that that 5 hours in the quantum realm = 5 years real time?

When this is technology you've been working on and using, with Hank Pym and Hope for years and years you think some of it would absorb. You think you would at least be able to contribute to building the machine, or the gauntlet, or even the scene when he's being explained Tony's arc reactor. But nah he's marveled at the idea of other planets while talking to a racoon, the god of thunder and an alien cyborg.

We get it, Rudd is adorable and hilarious. But his character could be a lot more.

Yes, since he's the only one with experience with the quantum realm? This shit wasn't on anyone's radar until he brought it up.

1) There are exactly 1 billion characters in Endgame. Not everyone can get a major time to shine.

2) As has been said, Scott is brilliant, but he's not "create time travel" brilliant. He's a 10/10 sharing the stage with a pair of 11/10s (Tony and Bruce). It's a shame, but his contribution to the effort was in giving everyone hope.

And he was a bit of a doof in his own movies, too, compared to Hank and Hope.

He has absolutely not been working with them for years and years. It seems like they did Antman, a little bit past that, Civil War, and then they broke off all contact.

This has absolutely nothing to do with his intelligence

I'm saying literally anyone else could have connected those dots if they had the same experence as Lang.

Even this kid could have

You are right about one thing. He is the only one with experience in the quantum realm. And asside from pointing out the obvious, he has zero contributions afterwords.

Ant-man literally created the plan to save the universe. For five years, all of the other dorks were doing nothing until he came along.

He also was the one genius enough to recognize the fact that Captain America has America's ass.

I think the first Ant Man movie did a good job of making him look intelligent and not at all doofus like. And since then he's just been comedic relief.

Yes he's outclassed in intelligence by a lot of people, but there should be at LEAST one scene with him contributing something that make the people around him realize he's not just a pretty face.

Also he has 38 minutes of screen time and these movies have done amazing jobs of giving everyone their moments. It wouldn't take much.

His smartest moment yet.

I dont know why people were challenging me on this to begin with

As if more depth to the character would be a bad thing.
