Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania - 21 WTF Moments

10. The Ant Army

The start of the third act sees the heroes attempting to stop Kang from escaping the Quantum Realm at all costs, and after Scott and Hope are incapacitated, they're approached by Hank, who has since regrouped with an army of armoured ants.

You might recall that when the heroes got sucked into the Quantum Realm at the start of the movie, so too was Hank's high-tech ant farm containing a colony of Smart Ants.

Hank then explains that these ants somehow experienced extreme time dilation after entering the Quantum Realm, allowing them to live through thousands of years in a single day, evolving and expanding their knowledge and scientific capabilities beyond comprehension.

The ants, who have now formed a technocratic civilisation, managed to track Hank down to fight back against Kang and his army. That's right - an army of high-tech battle ants, because why the hell not?

The time dilation aspect is clearly complete nonsense, but considering what fresh insanity it gives us, it's best not questioning the logic too much.
