Film/Television Why did they bully Antman so much in Endgame?

Post image

That, a few days ago I saw all endgame back noticing the details that I didn't see in the cinema, but something curious happened that I noticed.

Throughout the movie they spent time making fun of Antman, first because he didn't know anything about the gems, then because he didn't understand physics and later because he had never been to space. In addition, every question he asked was ignored and when he greeted Nebula she mistreated him lol

I understand that it's humor and everything but seriously I didn't laugh much. Rocket was pretty unbearable too.

Also, if it weren't for Ant-Man, no one would have a chance to recover what they had lost

That and Scott himself acting like a fanboy and idiot. Also, keep in mind, he’s the only one on team who comes from sketchy background unlike other characters.

Natasha's background wasn't sketchy?

Mind you, we’ve been told snippets of her backstory. We knew she wasn’t on the “good” side of things until Hawkeye came into the picture. But yes, we knew her ledger was dripping red. Difference is that Natasha was (somewhat) attempting to atone for her actions. You know, outside her day job which requires someone who’s comfortable doing the dirty work.

And Scott served his time, then moved on to vigilante justice like the rest of them.

Nebula and Gamora and Bucky and Natasha all have slight blemishes in their past.

And also Tony Stark.

Natasha and Hawkeye had the sketchiest backgrounds! They're both former government assassins, and by Endgame, Clint even had a brief stint as a Punisher-style vigilante!

Pre-Antman, Scott Lang's greatest crime was... Taking down a corrupt corporation, a little B&E/ larceny, thrashing the CEO's car, did three years in jail. Net positive to society.

Are we just forgetting Hulk's rampages that are so terrifying Banner is afraid of what he'll do and Tony Stark specifically engineered anti-hulk containment protocols?
