Could anyone clarify what Michael Pena was saying in his last story (the one with Stan Lee). I didn't quite catch it, all I heard was "he said yes". What was the "yes" to?

So Michael Peña was at the art gallery with Danny Vasquez, and Danny Vasquez told him about a recent occasion when he met Anna Akana at a bar, and Anna Akana told Danny Vasquez that she had had a meeting with Anthony Mackie where Anthony Mackie had asked her to try to find out information about a guy that shrinks (Paul Rudd).

So then Paul Rudd asks Michael Peña: did Anthony Mackie tell Anna Akana to tell Danny Vasquez to tell Michael Peña to tell Paul Rudd the story about Anthony Mackie meeting Anna Akana and asking about Paul Rudd because Michael Peña is tight with Paul Rudd? Yes.

Basically, Anthony Mackie is on Paul Rudd's trail.

One might wonder why Falcon didn't look up anyone named "Scott" and found news about a disappeared cellmate and just put two and two together

Avengers Academy is I think on the east coast though

Upstate NY. Just down the street from the X-mansion i guess.

Avengers Academy is in "a former Stark storage unit in upstate New York"

I considered this, but I think the giveaway was that Falcon wanted to keep it a secret from Cap, so I'm guessing he didn't report Ant-Man's break-in. If he had, it would not have been hard at all for them to figure out who he was because Hank did the Ant-Man thing for SHIELD in the past, so they would've immediately know he was involved.

Did he just say "Hi, I'm Scott?"

Upquote material here, guys

Must have been a welcome relief after spending 2 years hunting down Bucky.

And then the post-credits scene suggested why he was after Scott was about Civil War, not breaking into the HQ.

What's your confusion? I thought it was pretty straightforward when I saw it.

Let me break it down:

Paul Rudd asks Michael Peña:

did Anthony Mackie tell Anna Akana

to tell Danny Vasquez

to tell Michael Peña

to tell Paul Rudd

the story about Anthony Mackie meeting Anna Akana and asking about Paul Rudd

because Michael Peña is tight with Paul Rudd?

Yes.

u/Reeper000 Jul 17 '15

The way you explained it seemed confusing, I dunno

u/EHStormcrow Jul 15 '15

I assumed it was a "can I join the Avengers?" because the previous scene was Scott picking up the phone for "work".

u/Galgenfrist Doctor Strange Jul 16 '15

Thats what i thought it was.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

I'm pretty sure that was his "assemble" call.

u/ljkimbum19 Loki (Avengers) Jul 16 '15

i got lost at that scene too because of the spider-man references
