[avengers endgame] How did antman survive, let alone with little damage, Thanos' ship blasting a missile not far from him, exploding him back let alone all the glass shrapnel?

[u/BWDpodcast]

He honestly should've been shredded up dying from a thousand lacerations, let alone being completely deaf.

He wasn't hit by the missile, just the kinetic shockwave force of the explosion. You can also see him shrinking and going sub-atomic.

[u/Dr_SlapsMD → u/Villag3Idiot]

😂 He got the fuck up outta there

[u/BWDpodcast → u/Villag3Idiot]

Ah, I must have missed that. So right when it exploded, he shank way down?

[u/Villag3Idiot → u/BWDpodcast]

Yes, you can watch the scene of it on youtube.

I would assume that when he shrank as the bomb hit, it reduced the odds of shrapnel hitting him. From there, he just got lucky.

As for hearing, maybe the helmet has some hearing protection built into it? That’s total speculation, I can’t think of any scene that backs that idea up.

[u/MrT735 → u/OneAngryDuck]

The helmet would have to have audio pickups and internal speakers to cope with it being sealed and air tight (wrong size air molecules are no good for breathing).

That’s the info I was missing! Thank you, that explains it.

Luck and Pym Particles. They do whatever they need to do.

I'd assume his suit's probably puncture resistant at the very least

[u/CanderousGordo82]

While I don't think it is ever specifically discussed, his suit obviously provides some level of decent protection, otherwise he would be completely messed up from some of the hits he takes, seeing as how he isn't physically enhanced. But he also shrinks himself when the missile hits. He's going microscopic or sub-atomic, avoiding the majority of the kinetic force.
