- Pretty much all the people of San Fransisco now treat Scott with admiration and respect, hailing Ant-Man as a proper hero. It's a wonderful contrast to how overlooked he was in the previous movies.
- Even though the guy who gives him free coffee each morning mistakes him for Spider-Man, this in itself can be heartwarming when you consider that the people still hail him as a hero too. Peter Parker may be forgotten, but his sacrifice was NOT in vain, giving the hope that it can be fixed in the future.
- In a quick moment during the Good-Times Montage, Scott is shown meeting up with Jimmy Woo for lunch and offering to treat him (before another couple, also grateful to Ant-Man, picks up the tab), with both of them smiling and having a nice time. They clearly really did become friends after the events of the previous movie.
- She may be rebellious and headstrong, but Cassie remains the dutiful Daddy's Girl she's always been, even citing Scott as her biggest hero and influence.
- Scott's autobiography is surprisingly poignant. In fact, the ethos of the film itself can be found in Scott's final line in the book.Scott: Always look out for the little guy.
- Usually, when a hero gets famous, they let the fame go into their head and neglect their loved ones. While Scott brags a little about his book, to the point it annoys his family, it’s clear he still loves his family and uses his free time to spend a lot of time together and make up for the lost years.
- Scott narrates how proud he is of Hope's research and how much good she is bringing into the world. The two even sneak out and have a lunch date together, with Scott and Hope looking happy and at peace. Considering how tumultuous their relationship has been, seeing the two of them genuinely in love with one another for the entire film is just the sweetest thing.
- Hope's taking back her family company and turning its research not for military purposes but rather for foresting, housing and food supplies. Anything that would make the world a better place.
- During an argument, Cassie mentions how she’s good at taking care of herself. Realizing how it hurts Scott's feelings due to the Blip, Cassie quickly apologizes. Showing that Cassie doesn’t blame Scott during his disappearance, as he had no control over what happened to him.
- Why was Cassie arrested? She was at a protest rally for homeless people who couldn’t find homes after returning from the Blip. Cassie shrunk one of the cop cars when they tried to force the homeless out. While Scott disapproves, it’s clear where she got it from.
- Cassie has evidently grown very close to the Pym family since the Blip and even takes after Hope and Hank with her love of science. Tellingly, she refers to Hank as "Grandpa Hank". Janet and Hank exchange amused glances and Hank outwardly lights up with pride at being a grandfather, biological or otherwise.
- In addition, Scott demands to have a family meeting about Cassie's jail stints and how everyone knows but him. Hank's response is that the dinner they are having IS a family meeting.
- Hank beaming with pride at his new little protege's talents. Despite still being unsure of everything, Scott readily agrees that she's incredibly gifted, and tells her how proud he is of her.Hank: Your daughter built a subatomic Hubble telescope... in a basement!
- Cassie stating that if she had built the Quantum two-way radio five years ago, she would have used it to find Scott and spent those years with him as a family.
- When the family is at risk of being sucked into the Quantum Realm, Janet is sucked in first. Hank, having lost her once, immediately stops and lets himself be sucked in along with her. Hope immediately suits up and follows her parents. A few seconds later, Cassie gets pulled in and Scott doesn't hesitate to jump in after her.
- Despite the revelations that Janet has withheld a lot of her time in the Quantum Realm from her family, Hank, despite being upset, never holds it against her and continues to be a supportive husband and partner throughout the film. While Hope is a bit more upset, once she understands what her mom went through, her first words are "I'm so sorry you went through that alone. But you're not alone now."
- Similarly, the two show how much they trust and respect each other and believe in their relationship during the revelation that Janet took Krylar as her lover during some of the time that she was in the Quantum Realm because she "had needs", but doesn't treat it like it's some kind of reveal that she cheated on Hank, because she knows he'll understand. He does, assuring her that he totally gets it, and states that he also had another relationship for a period, likewise not worried that Janet will be upset (which she's not). And when she casually asks why it didn't work out?Hank: Well, she wasn't you, baby.
- Kang gets one during the flashback to his time with Janet. The two worked well together and she opened up to him about her family and her desires to return home. He promises to return her home and give her back the time that was stolen from her. Even when he realizes she knows his true colors, he still offers her the same reward for helping him, so it's highly likely this wasn't a manipulation.
- Crossing over into tearjeaker territory when Janet touches Kang's chair she's able to see the death and destruction he will bring to the multiverse. When Kang offers to keep his promise drop her off at the exact point she left in 1987, she has the Sadistic Choice to sacrifice countless others to get what she wants most in the world. Instead, Janet chooses to give up her happy ending with her family, which as far as she knew at the time was the only way home, meaning she was willing to doom herself to spending the rest of her life trapped in the Quantum Realm, so trillions of others can have theirs without hesitation.
- Cassie breaking free of her captors just so she can hug her father before he braves the inside of the multiversal engine core. The two cling to each other with a quiet desperation and Scott soothes his crying daughter as a true father would. He promises to make it back alive and she watches with a mixture of distress and awe as he leaps into the abyss for her.Scott: I love you, peanut.
Cassie: I love you too!- When Cassie admits that she messed up, Scott reassures her that everyone makes mistakes. He tells her that his whole life happened because he screwed up. And that the one thing he never screwed up is her.
- When attempting to retrieve the multiversal engine core, Scott is thrust into a "probability storm" in which every single version of him makes every single choice he could make. But when they hear Cassie's voice over Scott's intercom, all of them band together to give the real Scott the chance to retrieve it. Why? Because ALL of them want the exact same thing; to save their little girl.
- And when Scott and Hope unite, all their possibilities collapse down into them. They have one singular goal and know how to work together; there are no other possible actions either would take.
- A small one, but Hank reaffirming his love and admiration for his ants when he discovers they survived and thrived in the Quantum Realm. It goes to show they were never a project for him, but that he really admired and found common ground with the underrated creatures.
- For the first time in the movies, Hank unequivocally (though not directly) tells Scott how much he truly respects him. How? By quoting Scott's biography.Scott: You... you read my book?Hank: Every. Goddamn. Word.
- Despite being scared and Incompletely Trained, Cassie braves Kang's prison cells to free Jentorra and even uses what her dad taught her to fend off the guards. In doing so, she earns Jentorra's respect and they send out a successful message to the rebels that the time has come to fight back.
- The sweet hug between Scott and Cassie, while they are in their gigantic forms.
- Darren makes a Heroic Sacrifice in an attempt to stop Kang. Darren no longer wants to be the same Jerkass he had been in the first Ant-Man movie, and it's the first time he's done a heroic act, rather than a villainous one, in his life.
- Scott allowing the dying Cross to think he died as an Avenger, with Cross even stating in his own twisted way, he saw him as a brother.
- Despite not knowing whether she'd have another chance to escape or not, Hope chooses to enter the Quantum Realm once more to rescue Scott from Kang. The two reaffirm their love for each other and hold each other lovingly as they watch the Quantum rebels celebrate their victory over the Conqueror.Scott: I love you, Hope.Hope: I love you, Scott.
- The last scene before the credits is the Langs/Pyms gathering at a restaurant to celebrate Cassie's birthday. Except it's not really her birthday; Scott is just making up for one of the ones he missed while he was trapped in the Quantum Realm for five years.
- The second stinger shows Loki and Mobius having found a Kang variant. Loki managed to overcome the loss of his timeline to get his best friend back and convince him to hunt the worst threat the multiverse could face.
