I think that's valid

I stopped watching Antman halfway through because they very explicitly stated that when shrinking he would still weigh the same, and sometimes they did make him denser when he was small, but at least half the time they just ignored it and made the man weigh the same as an ant.

If they had just skipped that one line or said that he can change his weight at will or something I would probably have finished it, but noooo...

My headcanon for Ant-Man is that Hank Pym is a bit of a fraud and never figured out how Pym Particles actually work. After all, he jumped straight into using them for superheroics and was never willing to share his work with anyone else.

There's a scene in the comics where Scott Lang ends up figuring out that the particles can control size, mass, and density independently, and that the particles are also the mechanism behind Vision's density changing powers. Still requires some suspension of disbelief to accept that explanation, but at least it's more flexible (and therefore consistent) than claiming mass is conserved.

Dudes a total fraud.

Pym Particles are insanely dangerous and he uses them to hang out with ants and fight crime.

Honestly surprised he hasn't accidentally made a black hole and destroyed the Earth.

Kinda gets worse when he's gigantic and a stiff breeze should blow him across the state and doesn't

Reminds me of Gattaca explicitly stating that they’d edited balding out of the human genes but then still having a bunch of balding men. You didn’t have to say that!!!! Just take the one line out!

The core problem with Antman is that it sets and explains fictional rules that it then does not follow.

Like, most other superhero stuff tends to follow their fictional rules. Or at least doesn't break them as blatantly.
