Phase Two of Marvel's cinematic universe comes to a close with the release of Ant-Man, in theatres today. Sure, it's kind of a silly name, and his power is ... shrinking? Controlling ants? But the movie is getting good reviews, it looks like a nice breath of fresh air after the dreary Age of Ultron and, come on, Paul Rudd (and his new abs)!
While the ability to shrink and control ants might seem strange, once you give it some thought, the implications are infinite! Here's how we think you could use these tiny talents:
1. Sneak onto the set of Orange is the New Black
We love a little Ruby Rose and Laura Prepon in our lives! Shrink down, slip in through the chain-link fence and feast your eyes on some juicy prison drama!
2. Avoid awkward first dates
Your date is rude to the waiter. They chew with their mouth open. They haven't stopped talking. Time to go. *Poof* Shrink down and ride your ant friend right outta there!
3. Scare your close-minded relatives
Have an aunt that still calls your significant other your "roommate"? A brother that calls you names? Channel your inner middle schooler, and ding-dong doorbell ditch, Ant-Man style!
4. Throw a massive party
We all love a good party, but cramming even ten of our closest friends into a tiny apartment can be a hassle. No room, no problem! Your 350 square-foot Castro studio just turned into a city block's worth of party space. Send out the RSVPs!
5. Fight for ant rights
Hey, who knows! Our community has proven ourselves capable of amazing things when we band together and fight for a just cause. Maybe our ant friends are looking for some help in the anti-pesticide movement.
6. Dance with the queen
YAS KWEEN! We respect our royalty, so of course we'd get down with the queen. She may be small, but she can werk!
What would you do with Ant-Man's powers?
