20. A Rat Totally Saves The Day - Avengers: Endgame

After fans spent the better part of a year speculating on how Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) would escape the Quantum Realm, Avengers: Endgame went for the hilariously uneventful explanation that he was freed by nothing more than the accidental pitter-patter of an inquisitive rat's feet across the quantum tunnel's "on" switch.

Of the many weird and wonderful things in Endgame, nothing was more bizarre than the fate of the world coming down to a rodent that had no idea what the hell it was doing.

It's all the more peculiar when you consider that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) presumably knew that this was the single possible future where the Avengers prevailed, and he had to convey this information while keeping a straight face.

And now we all imagine the many other possible universes where the rat didn't scurry across Scott's van in quite the right direction. Madness, brilliant madness.
