New Film Theory Suggests Ant-Man Could Be Marvel's Deadliest Superhero

When you think of Marvel's Ant-Man, you might think of the funniest moments, the way the character makes you chuckle, or the endearing relationships, or maybe even the cool pseudo-science behind his powers. But do you think of him as deadly? That's what "The Film Theorists" think, as they present in their latest video.

The theory simply presents that "had the events in the movie been real, Ant-Man would've destroyed the planet." The theory focuses on the science behind the shrinking, noting that all of the empty space in atoms, if removed, would bring the rest of the atoms that are left down to an almost indescribably size - all of humanity would fit inside a space the size of a sugar cube.

But density, when entered into the equation, changes the entire movie's physics. It's an amusing video with a lot of real science applied to an amusing movie. Basically, if Scott Lang maintained his mass, he'd also maintain his weight, just increasing his density - if you take out the space between parts of atoms, you're not taking out any of the parts that carry weight, after all. Oh, and then he would've eventually created a black hole.

So if you were hoping to shrink and grow using Pym Particles sometime soon, um, sorry.
