One thing that's always seemed weird to me about the first Ant-Man is the use of Baskin Robbins in the beginning. Product placement is one thing, but I can't imagine why the company signed off on it considering it does not do them any favors. Scott's treatment makes the company seem like a bunch of assholes with zero compassion.

It's an interesting contrast to the first Iron Man movie, where the US Air Force had them rewrite and refilm a big chunk of the second act because they didn't want to be known as the guys responsible for shooting Iron Man out of the sky and giving him physical and emotional damage.

But Baskin Robbins is all, "A zero-tolerance policy against ex-cons, even if we agree with their actions? AND we get to drive them back into a life of crime despite their reluctance? Score!"
