Where did Tony and Steve get the credentials to let them into Camp Lehigh?


Tony had some sort of civilian scientist credential, and Steve had a military uniform on. But they didn't have enough Pym particles to go back to 2023 first to make all that stuff. Where did it come from?

Guessing Tony could adjust the nanotech suits they were wearing to look like pretty much anything. Doesn't explain Steve's hat or glasses; maybe they just came across some lying around.

I guess that works, but it's the kind of thing they really should have shown. Not just because it looks like a plot hole if they don't, but because it's a fun part of the "heist".

And I guess next you'd want them to show how they filled form number 32 to grant them access to the place?
The movie was already long enough.

Yes, it's a heist movie. In a heist movie you want to see the details. Have you seen OCEAN'S ELEVEN etc.? They don't just yadda yadda past stuff. If they don't show it as it happens, they go back and show the details we missed in a flashback.

reply

They already had enough content to show, they don't need to show all the boring details of how they get somewhere.

It's lazy screenwriting. I don't think they left it out to save time, I think they left it out because they didn't really have an explanation. Which is true for so many things in this movie. I really enjoyed watching it but there is an incredible quantity of what Alfred Hitchcock called "fridge logic".
