Ant man is from the 1960’s, it sucks that they have to use the same reasoning that was given then, as well as the same character abilities. It’s inconsistent as hell. Wish they would have been able to at least update the science to fit the capabilities better. But of course we know of no science that could explain what they want him to be capable of doing. But then they get to make shit up, they love making up plausible sounding sciencey words.
They a little bit try to make it seem like there is a cost for going super big, in that he gets tired really fast… but even that keeps slipping to being less and less immediate or important.
I feel like the cost is literally the most important part of super heroes. Whether it be time constraints, or energy usage, or personality problems… having a tangible cost is what makes them “heroes”, instead of just hypercapable beings doing awesome stuff for spectacle alone.
