History Headscratchers / AntManAndTheWasp

** For the first question, it seems likely Fury didn't know about her and it was actually Hydra who was using her (or her mental and physical instability made her a poor candidate for the Avengers). As for the second question, given how her condition was steadily getting worse, Ava may have no longer been capable of going on actual missions any more by the time all those things were happening (i.e. not able to stay away from the chamber long enough to travel far). And as for the last question, Bill states he took Ava away when Shield fell (i.e. midway through the first season of Agents of Shield), and after that they laid low while searching for a way to cure her. There wasn't really any reason for Coulson and company to run into her.

** Plus, Hank himself may not know the whole story. Given the ever-expanding history of Hydra’s existence within S.H.I.E.L.D., it’s possible they staged the “theft” of technology for the benefit of Pym and Stark and whatever other S.H.I.E.L.D. higher-ups were around so they could pursue the research themself. They could have told Ava’s father that Pym was the one who wanted him out, and so both sides think poorly of the other and never follow up on the story.

*** At this point, we have to use MST3KMantra. "He's invented something that powers the building." Alternately? "He got DanBrowned".

* This is a small gripe, but it’s bugged me for awhile. During the kitchen fight, we see a henchman grab a knife and throw it at Hope. She then shrinks down and dodges the blade before pivoting and dodging another blade that’s only a few inches behind the first one. We only see the guy throw one knife, and for her to have dodged two so close together would require the henchman to throw two basically at the same time or be absurdly fast

During the congregation ceremony, Ant-Man and the ants destroyed the devices of Darren’s security systems to steal the Yellowjacket. It bought them 15 seconds of time before the back up power will be powered on, according to Hank. Why didn’t they destroy the back up power too?

** Merely enlarging a battery wouldn't magically increase it's charge though, so that doesn't really explain it.

** Pretty sure he admits he's already cut deals with some very dangerous people to acquire the lab and its tech. He may not have felt he had a ''choice'' but to keep up his pursuit of the Pyms' technology. Also, however powerful their abilities, none of them have much of a verified history of actually ''killing'' people, aside from Hank in his secret-agent days (which were probably classified). [[note: Note that Yellowjacket's body shrank down to a cinder and was never found./note]] Sonny has an FBI contact and presumably knows this.

* Also, did Janet stop shrinking once she reached a certain spot in the QR? In ''Film/AntMan'', Hank said you continually shrink ''for all eternity'', but upon seeing Hank reunite with her in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', it seemed like she was able to stay a certain scale. Did she fix her regulator? Did she possibly find a way to stop as she adapted with the environment? Or, maybe, she WAS still shrinking (along with Hank and the pod he rode), just very slowly.

** Even if the Sokovian Accords weren't in effect, Scott was involved in a massive fight which destroyed property and may have endangered human lives, so he still committed a crime. And most likely he was still on probation after his time in jail, so all things considered a house arrest is fairly lenient punishment for him.

* So we are repeatedly told that the reason Scott Lang is under house arrest is for violating the Sokovia Accords, and in turn that the Pyms are on the run for also violating them as they gave their technology to Scott. But the Accords had yet to be signed when the airport fight happened and Scott was arrested, given that Zemo's bombing of the UN interrupted the signing ceremony, (and furthermore it is legally dubious that any kind of Accords would come into effect IMMEDIATELY after being signed into law- there is almost always a grace period to adjust to these sort of things), and beyond that the Accords were about controlling the Avengers rather than managing every single person with advanced technology or the people associated with them, so what gives?

** Plus you have to remember Hank had no idea how the Quantum Realm worked at the time. If he did he’d at least made a lot more progress towards finding his wife than he had. It was just his best guess what happens when you go subatomic, all he knew is he didn’t have a method to pull out of it once you did and designed the regulator to halt shrinking at a point where it could still be reversed.
