Good things come in small packages
Hank and Hope's relationship juxtaposes the one Scott shares with Cassie.
Scott’s relationship with Cassie fascinatingly juxtaposes the one Hank Pym shares with his daughter Hope van Dyne ., anyway – Hank and Hope’s bond has become so fractious it’s seemingly irreparable. Well, that’s the case until the duo starts working together. The reason? To stop Hank’s former protegé Darren Cross from using Hank’s research to develop the Yellowjacket – an Ant-Man-like shrinking suit that’ll be used for espionage-style warfare – and sell it to criminal organizations.
Even then, though, Hank and Hope’s relationship is only a step away from rupturing again. Hope’s insistence on wearing the Ant-Man suit and stopping Cross clashes with Hank’s steadfast refusal to let her, owing to the fact he doesn’t want to lose the only family he has left. It’s why Hank tricks Scott into stealing the Ant-Man suit in the first place.
It’s these adjacent but opposing familial dynamics that make Ant-Man a thematically compelling watch. On one side, you have Scott, whose relationship with Cassie couldn’t be stronger despite their separation. On the other, Hank and Hope see each other every day, but the trauma they’ve endured, coupled with their broken relationship, has led to their estrangement.Notably, it’s only when Scott joins Hank to stop Cross that the pair get a shot at redemption.
Hank benefits from his father-son dynamic with Scott, too, though. Seeing the relationship Scott has with Cassie forces Hank to reconsider his bond with Hope, leading to his own change of heart."Second chances don’t come around all that much," Hank tells Scott midway through. It’s heartening that Hank heeds his own advice, but it’s Scott who inadvertently salvages Hank and Hope’s relationship.-level threat.
