ANT MAN (2015) WATCH ALONG!

Comments

Hank & Janet: Hank Pym first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 (1961) and later appeared as Antman in Tales to Astonish #49 (1962) a year later. Janet Van Dyne, better known as Wasp would appear in Tales to Astonish #44 (1963) with both characters becoming founding members of The Avengers in Avengers (1963) #1 alongside Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and later Captain America. After creating Ultron, yep Hank was the one who created Ultron in the comics/Animation. Hank would have a mental breakdown and would become the villain Yellowjacket who you meet in this film, though in the film Darren Cross is the Yellowjacket with the plan of creating a whole army of "Yellowjackets". My first experience with Antman: I grew up watching The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Hero's (2010) an amazing Animated Series that kind of felt like the Silver Age of Marvel (60s to 70s) but brought into modern day yet still retaining that retro vibe. And even though it was an Avengers show it did feature crossovers with The Fantastic Four, X-Men etc. In the eyes of many it was what the MCU could've been if Marvel had all their rights from the beginning. So I fell in love with Hank and Janet as two important Avengers members with the show covering everything from Hank creating Ultron, Becoming Yellowjacket and even introducing Scott Lang as the next Antman. So I was a little disappointed that the MCU skipped over Hank Pym but still enjoyed the movies. Scott Lang: So who is Scott Lang? Well he's the second Antman in the comics. Introduced in Avengers #181 (1978) as Scott Lang and a year later in Marvel Premiere #47 (1979) would take up the mantle of Antman. Very similar origin story with Scott taking his talents to burglary to make money for his daughter, served his prison sentence, though he was hired by Stark International to work in its design department in the comics. After this Scott broke into the New Jersey home of Dr. Henry Pym, stealing the Ant-Man's Suit just like the film. Hank who was Yellowjacket at the time observed the theft. At the time Hank became a good guy again. MCU changes: The MCU pretty much aged up both Hank and Janet as hero's who existed decades before The Avengers. A really cool idea that kind of fits with the original 1960s Avengers theme but meant that we'd never see Hank and Janet as Avengers founders within the MCU. Tony of course created Ultron instead of Hank something that could've changed if the original Antman movie plans went through introducing the character earlier. The film is also set on the West Coast with Hank living in San Francisco instead of New Jersey. And of course the big one being Hank and Janet not being Avengers and Hank not being Yellowjacket.

When the trailer was released for ant man, I too like Paul Rudd kid thought this is gonna be so stupid. Really?, a man the size of an ant how is that gonna play as a super hero. Clearly I had blinders on. I wasn’t going to see this movie in theatre until till I found out bunch of my friends were going as a group so I caved in and went along thinking this will be a waste of money. We went to release night and I was blown away how structured the powers to be super. And it was the second funniest Marvel movie behind guardians. So yeah I ate my words. But I think a lot of people did, I wasn’t the only one who thought this movie will do poorly. Little did we realize this is the single most important character in MCU.

I think it's basic but great because of that, AND I die for smaller scale on screen. Like LOVED the world of Toy Story, Small Soldiers, Honey I Shrunk the Kids. It just scratches that itch!

Ant-Man is a wonderful change of pace in Phase 2. You can't just keep making things bigger and bigger, after Age of Ultron it was a smart choice to bring things down in scale to a more individual movie and introduce some new players in the MCU. You can totally tell the Edgar Wright sequences, he has wonderful comic timing such as the giant train crash zooming out to being a Thomas Tank Engine toy toppling over. Also, at this point in the MCU I think it's amazing to see the variety of movie genres they've played with. Classic hero movies of course, a big team up movie, but also Captain America in a WW2 war movie, Captain America in a Cold War 70's spy thriller, a rag tag group of scoundrels in space doing their version of Star Wars and now a Heist movie in Ant-Man. The next 8-9 MCU films will keep you engaged as they expand our universe and grow the cast of heroes. Loving your work. Keep it going.

"Imma be sittin with that one for days..." Not necessarily. Consider reacting to Captain America: Civil War tonight and it's just hours.

Your hair ugly? I just thought you were going for a different hair style.

Oh hey, I just thought of something! You know what would be really awesome? Captain America: Civil War.
