Removed trope because it did not fit and just came across as a random Take That to DC.


* FandomRivalry: If [[Creator/WarnerBros the other studio]] decides to show in full detail what it's like being inside [[Franchise/{{Superman}} the Phantom Zone]] in one of their future [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse live-action feature films]], then they have their work cut out for them in trying to match or outdo the Quantum Realm.

* MagnificentBitch: [[{{Determinator}} Ghost]], real name [[TragicVillain Ava Starr]], is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who used the phasing abilities she got as a young child on multiple missions with success. With help from [[ParentalSubstitute Dr. Bill Foster]], Ava seeks to get a hold of Dr. Hank Pym's Quantum technology in order to extract the matter needed to reverse her painful condition and save her life. On multiple occasions, Ghost tracks down the heroes and gets the shrunken lab from them while hindering their attempts to get it back, eventually expanding it again in the middle of a busy street. She also utilizes her impressive fighting skills against both [[Characters/MCUAntMan Ant-Man/Scott Lang]] and the Wasp/Hope van Dyne when the occasion calls for it as well. Nearly succeeding in getting the energy while knowing full well that it could destroy Janet van Dyne who's trapped in the Quantum Realm, Ghost has a [[HeelFaceTurn change of heart]] after a returned Janet uses her abilities to temporarily normalize her again and gives them the chance to get Ava more energy while being happy that Foster remains by her side.

Cut per Evil Is Sexy TRS; it's become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: The way Ava Starr flirts with Scott during the interrogation scene has done a good job of ...engrossing... male viewers into the movie. She's also wearing a form fitting bodysuit and has beautiful long hair that gives her an UnkemptBeauty. Then again, [[AntiVillain she’s not really a villain, just desperate]].

** Jimmy Woo and Scott get rather buddy-buddy despite Jimmy constantly trying to catch Scott sneaking off to do superheroing. At the end of the film, Woo tries to give Scott a subtle warning that he'll catch him the next time he breaks the law. Scott pretends to not get it, causing Woo to try an explain what he meant. Scott doesn't let up and asks Woo if he was trying to invite him to dinner later, which Woo initially deflects... before asking if he would be interested.

Added DiffLines:

* InformedWrongness: Hank and Hope are furious that the FBI and Ghost found out where they are because Scott told Luis where the lab was so he could come to them, and essentially tell him to GetOut. The film also frames Scott's decision to bail on them to get home before the FBI finds out he was gone as wrong, and he feels guilty about it. However, Hank and Hope were the ones who kidnapped Scott and convinced him to help them despite his repeated protests about being away from home, and as Scott points out to them, he has to help his friends save their business because it's really hard for ex-cons for find work. No one points out to the two that whatever the problems Scott inadvertently causes for them, they're the ones that got him involved in the first place.

* IKnewIt:
** Fans thought that they [[FreezeFrameBonus spotted]] Janet Van Dyne as the Wasp in the Quantum Realm sequence of the original ''Film/AntMan1'' movie. This film explicitly confirms that yes, she's still there.
** [[spoiler:On a darker note, it was predicted that Wasp would've been snapped out of existence by Thanos for a number of reasons, such as the rumors that Wasp would play a minor role in ''Avengers 4'' compared to Ant-Man, and she was absent in the leaked concept art. They were right.]]

** Scott lampshades the naming conventions of the technology, saying "Do you just put the word "quantum" in front of everything?" [[Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania His next film...]]

* CrackPairing: Some fans have started shipping Ava/Ghost [[MayDecemberRomance with]] [[spoiler:Janet van Dyne]], thanks to their intense emotional chemistry in the scene where [[spoiler:Janet fixes Ava's disease by gently touching her face, speaking softly to her, looking deep into her eyes and holding her close while Ava looks like she's about to cry. It helps that Creator/MichellePfeiffer [[WhiteWolf looks fantastic for her age]].]]

* TheWoobie: [[AntiVillain Ghost]] qualifies; as a child her parents were killed in a freak accident caused by an experiment gone wrong. That same experiment gone wrong [[BlessedWithSuck gave her the power to become intangible, except it also caused her constant pain and, by the time of the film, she was days away from fading out of existence entirely]]. She clearly doesn't want to hurt people, but is so desperate to avoid death or a FateWorseThanDeath that she thinks she has to. It's hard to not feel bad for her when her adoptive father pleads for her to not take actions that would cross the MoralEventHorizon, but she goes through with them anyway because she truly thinks there's no other option. It also really helps that Creator/HannahJohnKamen's big expressive eyes and beautiful yet gaunt face make one want to hug her even more. [[spoiler:She finally catches a break at the end, not only surviving but also being forgiven by the heroes.]]
