Film Theory: The Rat That Beat Thanos! (Marvel Endgame)

To everyone asking whether I calculated the rats repopulating, I did and just cut it before the final draft because it got too pedantic and lost in it's own numbers. Also, we wind back up at 50 rats anyway. Here's what got cut in case you were curious: "That means that at the beginning of five years, we're dealing with 50-ish rats in Scott Lang's area, which would replenish to their population carrying capacity in the course of just a few generations. Given that rat food supplies might be lower now that there are only half the people on the world, let's assume that they don’t get back to the full 100 rat population in Scott's immediate area, but that they make a good 50% surge back up to 75 rats roving all over Scott. Realistically it's almost impossible to know for our specific area exactly how many rats would be here, but we're making our best assumption right now and I'm trying to at least give Scott a fighting chance. So over the course of the six months after the Great Snap, rats would have pretty much bounced back, given that a new generation of rat babies is ready to go every six weeks. To get our final number, we’ll assume that an average-sized rat community would have at most around 50 rats out searching for food at any given time, since about a third of them are statistically in the nest at a given time."

Tony: what did you see in other 14000604 outcomes? Strange: The security guard use rats trap

Rat in 16th Century: Kills half of Europe Rat in 2023: Saves half of universe

Imagine Dr. Strange's reaction to when he realizes his fate along with the whole living universe's depends on a fricking rat!

I love how Tony just invents time travel because why not

Thanos: wipes out half the population A rat: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Thanos : I Have The Infinity Stones ! Avengers : We Have The Rat .

Honestly, what I learned from this video is that the rat freeing Scott Lang wasn't unrealistic, but the rat taking 5 years to do so absolutely was.

Plot twist : the rat was actually the one above all or some god

When you realize Endgame is just a huge complicated math problem

Thanos: exist Rat: Finnally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

Thanos lost to a rat? That's more sad than Ursula, Master Of The Sea being stabbed by one singular ship.

also worth noting the rat population would likely have recovered from the snap pretty quickly, just from breeding patterns, but then the loss of half the human population means less trash, but it also means a lot of unguarded food, so its hard to say exactly WHAT would happen to the rat population in 5 years.

Thanos: I am inevitable Rat: I am about to end this mans whole career

Antman: I'm not going into that man's anus Rat: hold my beer

The Rat: *exterminates half of all life in the 1400's The Rat in Endgame: Its time to fix what I have done, redemption is near

I feel like the weight of the rat and the amount of force needed to press the button is a pretty important factor.

That rat is actually Remy from Ratatouille, which is why he's smart enough to free Scott.

Is anyone going to talk about how Hope’s mom would have been in the quantum realm for 30 hours if endgame physics applied?

For me the explanation will always be what a random 9 year old said out loud in the cinema when I saw the movie "That rat is a genius!"
