Why does Ant-man get so tired when he is huge?
As seen at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ant-Man passes out and falls into the water when he increases his size considerably.
Hope says something like "He is too big!". Is there a correlation between Ant-Man's size and his stamina? Did I miss an explanation of this phenomenon during the movie?
Best Answer
I think this revolves around him using more energy to move his giant body, the energy he had remains the same but his body is bigger, that's why he gets tired more quickly.
One other explanation I heard is that his body was so big and the air molecules are so small that they didn't have a useful effect on him.

Why does Ant-Man pass out when big?
Ant-Man gets huge and stays that way for a long time during the final battle. When you look back to Civil War and Ant-Man and The Wasp, when he grows, he has trouble getting enough oxygen and passes out.Does Ant-Man get weaker when he grows?
At one point during the fight in Captain America: Civil War Ant-Man increases his size instead of decreases. I know that Ant-Man keeps his strength when he shrinks, hence relatively he becomes stronger. With the same logic, if he keeps his strength when he grows, he therefore becomes relatively weaker.Does Ant-Man retain his mass?
1: Normally Ant-Man shrinks at constant density, reducing his mass along with his volume, so he won't squish an ant when he sits on its back. However, this ant-sized person would risk falling right through the floor.How Does ANT MAN's Suit Work? (Because Science w/ Kyle Hill)

Answer 2
While the question of why growing to that size is tiring is not addressed, the fact that it is extremely draining does get mentioned earlier in the movie. When Hank, Hope and Scott meet with Bill Foster to request his help in tracking down the lab, Bill mentions that growing to the size seen on the news in Germany must have been exhausting, and Scott confirms that he slept for three days afterward.
