No, clearly Ant man is a man bitten by a radioactive ant, who now has ant powers such as superhuman strength, a hyper-acute sense of smell, and a very strong hand grip.
That's a GREAT movie. One of the best of 50's sci-fi, top ten easy. Incredible special effects for the time (much of which still holds up), a great writer in Richard Matheson (novel & script), and dense with metaphors, like a minimized husband in a disintegrating marriage.
Also a 7.6 on imdb, and that's pretty damn good, ESPECIALLY for sci-fi. Other 7.6 movies: My Dinner with Andre, The Ladykillers (1955), Enter the Dragon, From Here to Eternity, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Fifth Element, American Psycho, Train to Busan, My Cousin Vinny, Thelma and Louise... This is not a movie that sucks.
Ain't nobody knocking Incredible Shrinking Man while I'm around
Ahhhh, trailers can do that sometimes. I loved that movie for the shrunken stuff, the spider, etc. when I was a kid, but a lot more of it lands as an adult.
The bit where he's yelling at his wife from the dollhouse he's living in landed VERY differently

“Does whatever spider can” will finally be true.
Yes that includes having sex with the spider

Whatever you do, don't look up how spiders actually have sex

My biggest fear about reincarnation is that I'll eventually have sex with a spider.
I dont need details to intensify that fear.

Did you just assume their gender?

I guess yes I assumed Spider-Man was male, how rude of me

In this alternate universe, is Ant Man an ant who is the size of a man?

And his Ant-sense, which allows him to detect nearby picnics.

Don't worry, I remember when this was going around. AI could never come up with beauty and power in a image.

Where'd he get pants that size? Did he rob it off a Ken doll?

I will have to see if I can rewatch it. I was basing the bad mostly on the trailer on imdb.

In the same vein, I always wondered why they never made a Ground Spider-man who could burrow.

I mean the premise is that he's spider sized, but spiders come in pretty big sizes. The rest doesn't have to scale with him.
