Screen. If you want all the details and behind the scenes don’t forget to follow us on
social media which is now linked in the description below! And hangout with me until the end of
this video where I’ll do some comment shoutouts, because those are always a fun time. This
week is an important week for Marvel fans because the new Avengers Endgame is coming
out THIS FRIDAY. The anticipation has been real and the countdown is finally on, only
days away. With that being said, let’s have some fun and talk about the possibilities
the movie has. Today I’m talking about the topic of: Can Ant-Man Defeat Thanos in Avengers:
Endgame? Let’s get started.
Avengers: Endgame is the latest movie in the multi-billion dollar Marvel franchise, which
hits theatres this Friday, April 26th. With all the hype the movie has had since it was
first announced, you can only imagine the different theories and conclusions fans have
come up with. The main thing people are wondering about is how Thanos will be defeated and who
will be the one to do it. Well, after the trailer dropped and fans saw that Ant-Man
would be making his return in this movie, the internet spiraled out of control. Theories
began floating around that Ant-Man will be the one to defeat him and some of the suggestions
on how, are oddly disturbing. The most popular one, by far, is the ridiculous
theory that Ant-Man will jump into Thanos’ butthole and expand in size, causing the supervillain
to explode. Now, this theory only somewhat makes sense because Ant-Man has the power
to get really small whenever he wants, and also really big. Like, the size of a sky scraper
big. The original idea floated around last year when a tweet went viral. filmgloss tweeted
“Marvel saw the post about how ant man could defeat Thanos by crawling into his ass and
instantly growing in size and that’s why they didn’t put him in the movie, send tweet”.
Fans began to debate on the theory which just goes to show what our world has come to. Actor
Paul Rudd, aka Ant-Man was asked about the tweet which he was seeing for the first time.
His first reaction was “that’s interesting” and when asked if he thinks it could work
he said “I don’t know. I almost think that’s a question for Thanos”. He continued
to make jokes about the outrageous idea saying that as a screenwriter himself, he doesn’t
think this idea made it into any of the drafts. He also went on to joke about the rating of
the movie, which is a very good point. I don’t think an anus explosion is necessarily a family
friendly movie concept. Paul Rudd said he would ask Thanos, aka Josh Brolin if he would
be up for it.
Although most of us can laugh at this hilarious theory, one person, a scientist named Alex
Klotz, has taken it a little too seriously.The scientist at MIT went online to discuss and
show the biology side of this theory to show if it’s reasonable or not. He went on to
prove the different variables and mechanics of the theory with scientific evidence to
back up his explanations. He claims the theory comes down to two things: what if ant-man
doesn’t expand when he is inside, and how much pressure can Thanos’ anus take? Klotz
goes even further by using a balloon procedure to do a rectal compliance test. His final
conclusion was, and I quote, “each tissue and connection in the body has its own strength
and its own limits, so even if he can expand through the rectal wall, I don’t know if,
for example, the same could be said about breaking the pelvis.”. The fact that he
literally took the time to actually test out this theory, blows my mind. But thanks for
all the useful rectal information Alex. The theory is famously known now, making it big
in the meme universe and is known as the Thanus Theory; the theory that takes “end” game
to a whole new level.
Another, more logical but still a little bit silly theory is, that ant-man will change
size inside of Thanos’ ear. I mean if I have to pick between the 2 places Ant-Man
crawls into, I’m going to pick this one. But some fans have taken this theory seriously
too and point out the fact that Thanos has taken full out attacks by both the Hulk and
Thor, and didn’t even get a nosebleed. His body is known to be incredibly strong and
durable and just shows that his body’s cells are very capable of resisting damage. So if
Ant-Man were to resize himself inside of Thanos’ ear, his durable flesh would most likely crush
the meaty flesh of Ant-Man. So basically Ant-Man could be squirting out of Thanos’ ear, in
case you needed an image to go along with that.
On a final, and more realistic note, there is a legitimate theory going around that Ant-Man
really will be what the MCU needs to defeat Thanos. Ant-Man brings something other than
physical strength to the Avengers and that is the Quantum Realm. Fans believe that because
Ant-Man can access the Quantum Realm, this can be used as a way to possibly counter,
or even undo, the deaths Thanos caused when he snapped in Infinity War. We know that the
Infinity Gauntlet gives Thanos higher aspects of knowledge but fans don’t think he will
be anticipating that the Avengers possess access to the Quantum Realm, and with Ant-Man,
they do. The theory comes from the idea that Dr.Strange already knew what was going to
happen. Rather than handing over the Time Stone to Thanos right away, he had to wait
until Ant-Man was in the Quantum Realm, and will eventually end up in the future which
Dr. Strange already saw.
So, there are a lot of different theories on how Ant-Man WILL defeat Thanos but does
anyone think Ant-Man won’t be able to? I find it hard to believe that he would be brought
back to this movie with little significance. Personally, I think he’s being brought back
to be a helping hand, for sure, but I think he has something new to offer and that’s
why he’s being brought back. Maybe it is the Quantum Realm theory that will be what
the Avengers need. What do you guys think? Can Ant-Man defeat Thanos? If so, how? Let
me know what you think in the comments below and give this video a thumbs up if you’re
excited for the movie to come out this week. I’m your host Joce, and I’ll see ya next
time!
