Could the most absurd, viral fan theory finally come to life? Before the release of Avengers: Endgame, one of the most discussed theories revolved around the defeating Thanos. With the Avengers cut down to half their man-power, and Thanos at full strength with all his stones – several theories were considered. Some seemed possible, while others were rightful/ly absurd. One of the most popular theories suggested that Ant-Man could essentially kill Thanos by shrinking, crawling up his butthole, and growing to full size. Obviously, this would blow up the massive purple villain and guarantee a victory for the Avengers. However, in an odd twist of events, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow seems to imply a similar scene.

The news of the theory naturally reached the directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. “Listen, here’s the thing,” Joe Russo, co-director of Avengers: Endgame, commented. “Thanos is incredibly strong. His skin is almost impervious. The question would be what would happen to Ant-Man if he did that. Would it work? Would it not work? If it didn’t work, it would be really bad.” In other event, Christopher Markus, co-writer of Endgame, also commented on the theory. “Thanos could take a punch from the Hulk, we’ve seen that. And it stands to reason his whole body is at least as strong as that. If Ant-Man expanded, he would be simply crushed against the immovable walls of Thanos’ mighty rectum.”

Legends of Tomorrow Seemingly Adopting The Theory

Unlike Avengers: Endgame, which was in itself a pretty serious movie, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow would have actually followed through on any crazy theory. Brandon Routh’s The Atom is entirely capable of size-changing powers, however, there’s no Thanos nearby for him to go up against. However, in a new trailer for the fifth season for Legends of Tomorrow, something slightly similar seemed to have happened. 

Ray’s Palmer’s Scene in Legends Trailer

The glimpse of the Legends trailer with Ray Palmer implied a similar scenario to the theory of Antman and Thanos

Ray Palmer seemingly grows to his full size, essentially blowing up a person that previously occupied the same space. Clearly, this would feel like a coincidence on any other show except for Legends, who might just include any absurd theory into their storyline. Now the question remains, what did Ray just blow up?
