Did Atta forget that Flick wasn't supposed to find real warriors? It was a lie to get him to go away forever. I think whole movie forgot about it. Instead her being sad that Flick lied about them being warriors bugs, she should've said something like "I knew it was too good to be true. I knew couldn't find real warrior bugs even if you tried.

What if flik works with hopper and gang after he was banished?

Here's what should've happened. Everyone would be shocked that the circus bugs weren't actually Wariors, but than Princess Atta could've been like "Hold it! Flik went out of his way to find help, he got who he thought were warriors. Besides, even if they are a bunch of clowns, they still gave us hope! Thanks to Flik and his band of Circus bugs, we have a fighting chance against the grasshoppers! If anything, the only one who lied.......was me!" Flik would be confused by this and Atta would come clean and be like "Flik, we didn't send you to find help. We just wanted you out of the way after your mishap with the food supply. The only one in the wrong here, is me!" and as she's coming clean, its actively killing her inside because she lied to Flik. However, Flik would be like "I don't blame you, Princess. I shouldn't have messed up the food supply. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been chewed out by Hopper for something that was my fault. I just wanted to redeem myself and make a difference. I'm sorry, Princess.", then Atta would be like "No Flik. I'm the one who should be sorry." And the rest of the council would own up as well. Then the queen would become firm and say "We took advantage of Flik, and yet in return he brought back with him hope for the future of this coloney! So are we gonna stand around wallowing in our own exposed lies?! Or are we gonna knock those grasshoppers dead?!" then the Queen and Atta would place Flik, Dot and the others in charge of planning out the attack, and the rest would play out like normal. As much as I enjoy this movie, this scene was easily the worst part of it, because at this point it doesn't matter if they both lied, they have a weapon against the grasshoppers, but I guess this movie needed to just barely reach 90 minutes, so 3rd act breakup it is!

When you really think about it, Atta exiling Flik was the worst thing she could had done. She was rightfully disappointed with Flik for betraying her and the rest of the colony but if she simply let the bird plan go ahead, then Hopper and his thugs wouldn't had terrorised them. If her mother got executed by Hopper then that would be blood on her conscience. Had it not been for Dot getting the gang and Flik back, then things would had been much different.

Here's my version of this scene. Flik: I just wanted to make a difference. Atta: I want you to leave Flik and this time dont come back. Me: (Furious) You stupid pathetic princess! (Everyone turns around and sees me angry) Atta: (About to be mad) What did you just say to me?! Me: Oh don't play stupid or innocent with me, you coward! You heard me! You're a stupid pathetic princess!!!! (Everyone gasps by Chango's harsh insults to Atta) Ant Queen: (sternly and mad as she walks to me) Who do you think you are speaking to my daughter that way?! How dare you!! Me: (grabs a pistol from his holster, cocked it, and gave the queen a warning shot close to her feet, forcing her to back off. Then points the gun to her face firmly) Back off or you're gonna a bullet, Your highness! (To the whole colony banishing Flik) You're all a bunch of stupid, stubborn and cowardly hypocrites and idiots!! How the hell are you guys gonna banish Flik over just one little mistake he made when everyone of you have done even worse!! (Points gun at Atta) Including you, Atta! First, when you and your old mom watched Hopper grab Dot and was about to kill her by using Thumper, you did absolutely nothing but watch helplessly like a stubborn coward as she was about to get eaten alive right in front your blind eyes! Flik did the right thing by saving her, and you and the others get mad him for that and send him away and hope that he wouldn't come back??!! That shows how much a crappy sister you always are! (Dot glares at Atta) She was scared, and you didn't even give a damn! And this is where it gets more worse! Next, you sent him away to search for these bugs that aren't warriors- (To the Circus Bugs). No offense. (Back to Atta) -that you hoped that he wouldn't find by lying to his face! (Flik is surprised along with the Circus Bugs) Me: You had no right to bully Flik after he saved Dot. You chose to continue to be enslaved and kind and fair to everyone except Flik. Since the day he came back you've done nothing but discourage him and shown how ungrateful you were to him and didn't like his inventions (points to Thorny and the other ant with a walkingstick) along with those stupid old ants! Flik had the best ideas, unlike you cause you decided to kick him out for no reason. And you call yourself a princess?! You're not a princess! You're a wannabe queen who sucks at being ruler cause you're not good enough!! (Everyone gasps again as Atta is very hurt by Chango's words) Me: And you! (Points to the Queen) You don't deserve to be called your highness! You and your daughter are the ones who put themselves before the rest of the colony! Not Flik! You don't have a right to treat hkm like trash after I see how terrible you rule over these ants! (Back to Atta again) And also when you said you would treat Flik better, you lied again by going back to being a stubborn bully like you always are! Shame on you! (Everyone gasps again and a few ants faint) Atta: (Falls on her knees and reduced to tears) Ant Queen: (Approaches to comfort her) Atta: (sobbing in shame and remorse) Chango... you're absolutely right! I am a horrible princess and sister! Flik: (Comes to Chango and starts to realize what Atta did was wrong) Chango... Thank you for standing up to me. I would've been gone if it wasn't for you. I can't believe Atta and everyone else did this me when I tried to help them. Me: (Puts a comfort hand on Flik's shoulder) You're a great helper, inventor, and a great friend to Dot and I'm proud of you for that, son. You shouldn't feel bad for your mistake. You have every right to be angry at Atta and others. Flik: (Gets mad at them) You're right, I do. Me: (Walks towards Atta and the Queen) This will a very valuable lesson that you are going to learn. (To Ant Queen) Same goes to you, (To the colony) and the rest of you! Ant Queen: (softly) Are you alright, dear? Atta: (wipes off her tears) Flik...I Flik: (Rightfully mad) Don't talk to me. I've had enough of you. We're staying here and continuing with the plan, and you are not gokng to banish me again. I don't need you. (To Thorny) Or you, (To Ant Queen) Or you. Atta: (Begging) Flik, please... Flik: (firmly) Shut up. You've done enough. You will not speak to me again until I'm ready to allow you to. Chango's right about you. (To Thorny) And you. Stay out of my way. Chango: (To Thorny the other old ant) Oh and for you old ants... You owe Flik a huge apology for snatching his new invention and belittling him. If you do that again, you're gonna get in a bullet to the leg until you end up like him (Points to the other old ant) Flik: (To Atta) I am still very disgusted by your actions. And I'm gonna tell you something very serious. You are not going to punish me, or Chango or any of us trying to help you. I don't care if you and the Queen are the rulers of this island. We are staying here and you're not gonna stop us. Chango: (Smiles) That's our boy. Dot: (To Atta) Everything they said to you was a taste of your own medicine. And that is what we going to give Hopper and his gang. But I blame you for treating Flik like this and I hate you for that. You should be ashamed of yourself. Chango: (Chuckles) That's right, sweetie. Dot: Thank you for helping me and Flik. *Hugs Chango* Chango: *Hugs Dot back* You're welcome, little Dot. Flik: (Walks off to the ant hill) I need some time alone. (To Atta again) And Atta, you will think to yourself. You will show me respect again and you owe me more than just an apology. You and the others will make it up for me and the Circus Bugs. Chango: Right behind you, my friend. (To the Circus Bugs) Come on, Team. Let's get inside.

This scene has always been heartbreaking when Flik is reprimanded for lying to the Queen, Princess Atta, and the colony as he claimed that the Curcus Bugs were 'Warriors' but was not true, thanks to P.T. Flea, who has exposed the truth. Even though it's a saddest scene, it gives me an idea for some stories I create. The idea of when everyone in the kingdom founds out that a princess is in love with one of the soldiers, as a main protagonist, the king and queen banishes him as a punishment for fooling around with their daughter and he is fired by the captain of the guard, as he took off his uniform, and is told that his late father would be ashamed of him. Or the idea of the story with the main protagonist with his family or possibly the one with all his friends in the village. So sad when Atta banishes Flik, along with the Circus Bugs though.

Man, A Bug’s Life is one of my favorite Pixar movies, but man, I. ABSOLUTELY. HATE. THIS SCENE! And after scrolling through the comment section, I am so glad I’m not the only one, I feel absolutely awful for Flik in this scene, all he wanted to do was help the colony when they’re at their worst, what the Queen said at 2:24 really pissed me off, SERIOUSLY?! FLIK BROUGHT THE “WARRIORS” TO COLONY IN A WAY TO FEND OFF THE GRASSHOPPERS AND HELP THE COLONY!!!!! ALSO, DIDN’T YOU FORGET, THEY SAVED YOUR DAUGHTER DOT FROM A BIRD, SO WHAT IF THEY’RE CIRCUS BUGS, THEY ARE STILL HEROES, also, when Atta called out Flik for lying to everyone, I was like, “ATTA, YOU ARE SUCH A HYPOCRITE! YOU BASICALLY LIED TO FLIK TO FIND WARRIORS BECAUSE YOU WANTED HIM GONE SO BAD, BUT WHEN HE LIES, YOU CALL HIM OUT FOR IT?!” This scene is what gave the Lie Reveal trope a bad name, because I have seen some instances where the trope is done right, Luca, Chicken Run, Rango, Megamind and Wish Dragon is what comes to mind, in fact, Wish Dragon is actually my favorite interpretation of the trope, when Li Na finds out that Din isn’t rich and was lying to blend in, she instead of getting mad lets Din explain why he lied and is understandable, the trope can be done right, but this scene in A Bug’s Life is a prime example on how NOT to do it! It’s, according to TV Tropes, one of the most painfully Played Straight examples of this trope in animation history!

Wish there would be a deleted scene after the events of the aftermath where Atta is now just sad about this even though she banished flik for good and she and her little sister dot look at things flik come up, and when atta heard a noise of one of flik's inventions She was surprised and thought he must have come back already but it was just some random ant throwing Flik's inventions away, then the queen said to her daughters don't worry we're all gonna miss him

(turns to Atta) Especially YOU, Princess! You're getting on Flik's case for what he did when YOU YOURSELF have messed up far worse than he ever could! Wanna know how? Well, let me tell you! First, you sent Flik away on a wild goose chase to search for these “warriors”- (to the Circus Bugs) No offense, you guys. (continues to chew out Atta) - that you didn't expect him to find, thus essentially lying to Flik's face! Now, you're banishing Flik for doing the same thing you did!

I never understood this downfall. Like sure Flik lied ( well technically it was miscommunication between him and the circus bugs) but it would have been embarrassing had he admitted he accidentally brought circus bugs. But Flik did think of the bird. Everyone was all in for it and spent weeks building it. They have an advantage against the grasshoppers but the moment they find out the circus bugs aren't warriors they immediately freak out, discard the bird plan and bury everything that's happened and go back harvesting food. Why?

@@nilesclifford9704 yeah Atta is certainly a massive jerk to Filk she should be banished

So here are my two cents on this scene. I think it is the worst scene in the movie, surpringly not because of the liar revealed trope, for me what makes this scene annoying to watch is the lack of self-awareness and ignoring the development of the character, namely Princess Atta. She gets a lot of flak for this scene, and while I can understand why I personally found the Queen to be the worst one here and felt out of character. When it comes to Atta, yes, her original intent was for Flik to not come back, at least until they met Hopper's demands. And even after he brought the circus gang, she literally states at one point that she had suspicions of them being 'clowns'. Personally, I feel Atta should have been more disappointed that Flik didn't just tell them straight up they were circus bugs when he found out. instead of focusing on the fact he lied to her, which again goes against the fact that she lied about sending him away to find help, it also ignores her apology to him in the middle of the film and goes back to treating him the same way at the beginning, which again, ignores her development. If it weren't for the climax redeeming her this scene would've tarnished her for sure. As for why I find the Queen worse, she too felt out of character, because while she wasn't the biggest fan of Flik she was arguably the only one who isn't Dot that could have appreciation for him if he didn't screw up, she never felt like she had the same level of distain for him, so for her to say 'Flik is putting himself before the colony' this literally ignores the fact everything he did was for them. Did she think he was building the bird just so Flik would have a pretty decoration up? It also ignores the fact that his actions got the colony together that they actually felt happy for once. Tbh, they literally dug themselves into a corner by allowing them to continue status quo, so I can't really feel bad for them. It really isn't until Flik. It's honestly sad that Dot, a child acted more sensible and fixed the situation, if anything she contributes to the reason the colony gets saved. I also don't like the fact so much emphasis is placed on the fact they are circus bugs, why should that matter? They are creatures that can still help them. It also once again ignores the scene where they risked their lives to save Dot. Or how their influence helped the colony out.

It seemed like even the Queen disagreed with that decision. While she did stop Dot from going after Flik, the Queen still had this sad, guilty, and remorseful look on her face as if she didn’t want Flik to leave either

@@chrisrobson4991 "Atta!" Dot cried out happily upon seeing her older sister safe and sound. Oh, thank heavens you're alright," said the relieved Queen as she approached her daughter and embraced her tightly, to which Atta returned it graciously. The two ants then stood there, arms wrapped around each other, for a long moment before the Queen finally let go of her and began to question Atta rather calmly. "What happened out there? Is Hopper finally gone for good?" "He's... We won't be seeing him again," Atta responded, trying to keep herself together. "Well, where's Flik?" Dot wondered, as she was expecting him to be with Atta, except that he wasn't. Atta said nothing about that. Instead, her lips began to shake, as she covered her face with her hands, as she fell to the ground on her knees, sobbing softly to herself. The Queen knew something wasn't right, so she kneeled down to Atta's level and gently put her hands on her shoulders. "Atta, where is Flik?" the Queen asked, as her face intensified with seriousness while still retaining some sense of composure. "H-h-he left," stammered Atta, struggling to talk through her silent weeping. "He didn't even want his injuries looked after; he j-j-just left us!" That left the Queen flabbergasted, while Dot stood there stunned, as both couldn't believe what they were hearing. "But I don't understand. Why would he leave us? After everything he did to free us from Hopper's abuse?" asked the Queen sincerely, unable to wrap her head around the fact that the ant who desperately wanted to help his colony so bad, who nearly died just to give his colony the courage to finally stand up to Hopper and his gang after all the years of being bullied, tormented, and threatened by them, would suddenly decide to leave the colony. With her mother's help, Atta slowly got back up on her feet, uncovered her face, and wiped the tears off of her warm cheeks before she could begin explaining why Flik had left them and the colony. "H-h-he left because... B-b-because he was angry with me, w-w-when I told him the truth about w-w-why I really let him go on that s-s-search for warrior bugs," stuttered Atta. The Queen simply blinked, confused as to what "truth" she was talking about. "I only did it because-" Atta sniffled before going on, "I-I-I only did it, just so that he would've been out of the way, a-a-as we collected food to m-m-meet the double quota before Hopper came back. I didn't think he would've actually returned with help," admitted Atta. "And now, he has abandoned us, and it's all because of me!" Atta cried as her voice got higher the more she talked. As soon as she had finished her confession, the Queen found herself taken aback and shocked by what she had learned. Whereas for Dot, she felt as if her tiny heart had broken in half. After a brief moment of taking in everything that Atta had just spilled out, Dot's expression of disbelief quickly changed to that of anger. "You're right, Atta. Him leaving was your fault!" she exclaimed angrily. "Dot, please," said the Queen, trying to calm her down, but that proved futile. "He may have lied to you and the colony, but he only did it to protect you all! He was the only one who was willing to help us be free of those grasshoppers! And what did you do? You threw him away just to get rid of your "troubles"!" Dot ranted furiously, as her big eyes were starting to well up with small tears. "He was my best friend! He was the only one who understood me! And now he's gone! He abandoned me! And it's all because of you!" She then shrieked to Atta, "I HATE YOU!" before she turned and took off, bawling her eyes out and pushing through everyone in the chamber. "Dot, wait!" Atta called out to her as she reached out her hand for her, but Dot had already run off. All she could do at that point was watch with guilt as her baby sister flew past all the ants, distraught and heartbroken that Flik had abandoned her and the colony. After Dot left the chamber, all the ants were exchanging looks of guilt with one another, feeling ashamed for all the years they had ostracized Flik.

They gave up on Flik SO EASILY, especially since they STILL have their fake bird ready. If only Atta and the colony still gave Flik a chance with the bird, but nope, they gave up on him WITHOUT executing his plan. The grasshoppers would've been out of there, with maybe a slight chance of Hopper coming back. But then again, fate worked itself out with Flik getting exiled to leading him in killing Hopper for once and for all.

*back at the beginning of the movie* hopper: so is your fault.. atta: it wasn't me it was fli- hopper: ah ah ah! first rule of leadership. everything is YOUR fault! and here she is trying to save her own skin again in front of her own colony. but at the same time she was hurt. so she's not making the right judgement here. and lets not forget the queen actually didn't know that they let flik find other bugs for help just to get rid of him. so she was in the shadow. and yes the most dumb thing that they think the fake bird wont work just because flik got exposed. he had a right to lie about the whole "warriors" part because through out the movie he just wants to be part of the family. but some odd reason always been seen as the "biggest loser". I didn't even care that he lied. because I don't see any other ants doing any different. for $*^$ sakes they would let a baby princess get abused both mentally and physically if it wasn't for flik standing up to hopper. and they have the balls to say flik was in the wrong and also pinning him even more down to the ground just because hopper made them work double time because of flik's interference? and now for hopper. he's just lucky to even find bugs that are willing to work for him. making them work much harder because he's upset? all that would really do is kill off half of the colony and without a queen how would he keep up with the rest of the food from them? is he expecting them to stick around forever? he doesn't see his plan is going to blow up on his face and what well he do than? find some other colony of ants to work for him? what's even the point? flik made a point that he needs them. and if you think about it on how the movie is written. what he should've done is asked for there help rather just push them around. because other whys they wont be enemies.

1:39-1:45 Wait a minute here. They’re just using the same actor over and over. What kind of a cut rate production is this?

@@nicholasemjohnson47 Here's what should've happened. Everyone would be shocked that the circus bugs weren't actually Wariors, but than Princess Atta could've been like "Hold it! Flik went out of his way to find help, he got who he thought were warriors. Besides, even if they are a bunch of clowns, they still gave us hope! Thanks to Flik and his band of Circus bugs, we have a fighting chance against the grasshoppers! If anything, the only one who lied.......was me!" Flik would be confused by this and Atta would come clean and be like "Flik, we didn't send you to find help. We just wanted you out of the way after your mishap with the food supply. The only one in the wrong here, is me! I'm sorry Flik." and as she's coming clean, its actively killing her inside because she lied to Flik. However, Flik would be like "I don't blame you, Princess. I shouldn't have messed up the food supply. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been chewed out by Hopper for something that was my fault. I just wanted to make things right. I'm sorry, Princess.", then Atta would be like "But Flik. Look at us. Because of you and your circus friends, we have a way to fight back against Hopper. If that's not making a difference I dunno what does." Then Flik would turn around and see the Circus bugs and say "But.....what about you guys?". PT Flea would cut him off and double down on them coming back with him to perform Flaming Death. Flik would try to protest against that and Rosie would say "Flik. Its okay. You got this........good luck against Hopper. And thank you." Then with one last tearful goodbye Flik and the Circus Bugs go their separate ways as Flik is put in charge of preparing for the attack against the Grasshoppers. However as the initial battel against Hopper starts and gets too hecktic, the Circus Bugs realize how good they had it on Ant Island and that PT Flea just needs them to line his own pockets whereas Flik and the others actually got to know them, Francis even starts to cry cause he misses Dot and the blueberry scouts. And so Manny decides they must ditch PT Flea and help Flik, and so they do. Flik meanwhile is getting everything ready, but he misses the Circus Bugs and Atta tries to help him stay focused while understanding his current mood. However as Hooper begins to overpower everyone, that's when the Circus Bugs come back, claiming they were invited by Princess Atta to entertain. And the rest of the movie plays out like normal.

If I Were There After Atta Tells Flick To Never Come Back I Would Tell Her This. Me: Fine. But before we go there is something you need to hear. Flick only did all this just to prove to you that he is not a screw up and to prove to you that you can't let the grasshoppers push you around. But Because this is happening now I'm not afraid I'm gonna have to tell you and all the ants this. You are a bunch of cowardly hypocrites who don't care about anything but yourselves! You always scold him for screwing up and you all are never nice to him. He may screw up but at least he keeps trying. But I'm glad he knocked the food over. This is a sign that to let you know that you don't need serve grasshoppers. But you will never do that, will you? Atta: Wait. I- Me: I'm sorry but we missed the part where that's Flick problem. We're banished so I guess I have two words to say. Good bye.
