Ant-Man And The Wasp: 19 WTF Moments

2. Janet's Magical Quantum Powers

In a moment that's surely one small step above Janet having magic blood that can heal ailments, she's able to stabilise Ava's molecular problem simply by touching her hands to Ava's head.

Sure, it's just a temporary fix until the problem can be fixed outright, but giving Janet such potent abilities as a result of her time in the quantum realm has the potential to be a bit of a slippery slope storytelling-wise.

"Because magic!" is never a satisfactory narrative device, so hopefully Janet won't just randomly pull some ultra-powerful moves out of nowhere in Avengers 4 to help defeat Thanos.

More than anything, it just reeks of lazy writing, and an actress of Pfeiffer's calibre clearly deserves far better.
