Shrink, sneak inside the villain, then grow. It sounds like a shortcut to ending a superhero fight, but the animated Short posted by Zack D. Films finds a complication: size-changing isn't necessarily unlimited strength.

The CGI hypothetical has drawn roughly 4.8 million views since yesterday. Its narrator considers what happens if Bug Man expands inside Purple Guy, whose durable ribcage and tissues could resist that growth. In one version, the would-be attacker gets crushed instead.

Then Metal Man supplies a counterargument. Since he previously managed to draw Purple Guy's blood, the narrator reasons that the villain isn't completely invulnerable. Bug Man might need only a small expansion to damage a vital organ before shrinking to escape.

It's a fictional superhero thought experiment, not a scene from an official movie. The question underneath the gruesome animation is simple: which gives way first, the growing hero or the body containing him?
