It's hilarious how people wouldn't let that go. And then when it didn't happen, they tried to damage control it with "i-it will happen in Infinity War!"
Paul Rudd ruined it for me, I feel like he was cosplaying. are the jews this greed when to comes to movie roles?

What a cringefest the movie was

kids think antman is the shit now
Remember when everyone was excited for Spider-Gwen and dismissed the Silk solo? Things sure have changed around here.
>>78714199
No one cares about your shitty opinion
Movie was pretty average. The problem was they tried to make Ant-Man the funny guy in a universe where everyone is the funny guy so he ended up just feeling like more of the same.
>>78714058
>It sells, it must be good!

Read the OP post and realize how retarded you are
>>78717695
That's one of the dumbest criticisms I've ever heard. What does that even mean?
>>78717795
Normally in a setting you only have one funny guy character. In the MCU most of the characters fill that role. All the heroes fill that role. So by trying to also make Ant-Man the funny guy he just came off as a blander version of Ironman or any of the other MCU characters.
>>78717833
>a character can't be funny because other characters are funny
>ignoring everything about Scott's backstory and hero story
Okay.
>>78717833
>Normally in a setting you only have one funny guy character.
Yeah, okay.
>>78717713
OP made a comment regarding the box office success of the movie not its quality.
>>78717833
I gotta say for a lot of bits, you kinda need two guys that are funny.
I mean, you can't exactly do "Who's on First" with one guy.
>>78713200
To be fair, it was an awful film, but there's nothing Disney can't achieve with sufficient marketing.
>>78717987

Your opinion is irrelevant
I liked the movie for all it's faults
but man it did have some, weakest marvel film since whatever Iron man that was meh
>>78718991
What faults? I thought it didn't have any major problems besides boring villain again (but he was acted well).
>>78719144
The plot was the most glaring, all that bullshit to hire him?
Also he ended up doing nothing except fighting the big bad at the end, could have done the whole thing without him
>>78718303
ants don't have tongues
>>78719357

>>78719339
I guess I've played too much Shadowrun that I just sort of take for granted any supernatural heist is gonna go tits up and devolve into murder and collateral damage
>>78719339
"All that bullshit"? You mean one main scene so Hank can double check Scott's skills and intentions?
And did you miss the scene where Scott point blank explains why he's on the job when they technically don't need him? And did you miss the change to the heist that made it require even more people?
Pay attention next time.
>>78719489
this. pay attention. Rewatched Ant-Man today and it was fantastic. Honestly has my favorite villain of phase 2 besides Bucky and the story is very well done.
>>78717966
No, that's The Straight Man and The Fool. You only need one Fool. Two Fools would break the scene.

>>78713200
>one of its accomplishments was selling more than Captain America
>the first movie Captain America
>one of the weakest films of phase 1
Ant-man was good and it did good. Saying it was and did any better is a lie. It sold about as well as any Disney-backed MCU movie could hope for. You know what also did well in theaters? AoU. Just not as well as Disney wanted.
>>78720269
You ARE an idiot, but that is Lynda Carter

The superhero bubble burst is /co/'s version of the HAPPENING.
Finally got around to watching it, who do you think was the shadow in the microverse?
>>78721138
Wasp I
>>78721012
>Captain America
>not the second best phase 1 film
Get some taste, pleb.
And the accomplishment is fucking ANT MAN doing better then a much more popular character in terms of the normal movie going audience.
>>78717833
Outside of the avenger movies, how many of them are actually nonstop quip machines?
star lord, iron man, ant man. Who else?
>>78721734
Was Antman a quip machine though?
Also, I don't really remember Ironmanfrom his first moviebeing too quippy in his armored scenes
>>78721756
Scott was not a quip machine. His humour was more everyman than one liner. He did have the tendency to kill a dramatic moment by being funny but it fit the film's tone.
Tony is somewhat more grounded in Iron Man 1 but he's still pretty jokey. He doesn't joke much in the climax though.
>>78721756
I'm giving the poster the benefit of the doubt with ant-man. I think he was an alright balance of guy who got out of jail and now finds himself having to deal with shrinking shit.
But if not funny lead is all it takes to be good then Thor should be a work of art. In his movies he usually has funny shit happen to him or the cast be the ones lightening the mood.
>>78721723
>Captain America
>not the second best phase 1 film
good taste senpai i don't et the hate for CA1 if anything thor should get more hate
>>78721795
Though Thor has the funniest moments in both films IMO
>that Mjolnir coat hanger bit
>>78721802
Idk I think Thor is a decently fun movie. Nothing spectacular. The sequel shit the bed though.
>>78721823
Shame Thor's movies aren't that good.
>>78721823
It barely had any action scenes you got the beginning then a disappointing battle with destroyer and thor
Thor 2 was better than the first imo but they are the worst movies in mcu again imo
>>78721863
>Thor 2
>better than anything
Natalie Portman stopped giving a shit and phoned it in hard. The script seems like a first draft that no one bothered to fix up. Another boring bumbling human is added to the mix and we get to see him make out with Tits Dennings because that's what we want from Thor movies. And the worst villain in the entire MCU.
Thor 1 is a masterpiece in comparsion. At least it has Coulson for 2 minutes.
>>78721923
I kinda wish Chris' wife was Jane instead. If there was any scene Jane felt genuine, it was that credits kiss.
>>78721989
He should just be with Sif. She's actually badass and likable. Making the reason Thor has a connection to Earth be the power of boners is lame. He should want to protect it because that's a worthy person would do.
>WHOA! Age of Ultron is gonna be so dark!

>>78720448
To be fair, when it was released, it made more money than most of the movies Marvel had put out to date. Not exactly "blown out of the water", but the tendency of people to conflate $700 million and mixed-to-positive reactions with "collosal flop" is a bit perplexing.
>>78725618
>Implying Winter Soldier, Guardians, and Ant-Man weren't loved on /co/
>>78713200
Not having the tagline work in a "size doesn't matter" was a missed opportunity.
>>78725716
it was Superman though, if everyone on the planet was going to know who a super-hero was it's Superman. The fact that it wasn't the highest-grossing movie ever made should be considered a gigantic failure
>>78713360
That one was great. /co/ got obsessive as fuck about it too
>>78713848
Agreed, though I just don't like Rudd in general.
>>78725739
Winter Soldier is overrated by faggots who have never seen a action thriller in their lives
Guardians is a meme film
Ant-Man is wasted potential (and we don't talk about it anymore)
>>78726035
That's not how it works though. It's not exactly unheard of for a popular character to fall out of favor with the public. It's happened more than once to Superman.
>>78726563
>Winter Soldier is overrated by faggots who have never seen a action thriller in their lives
This.
Winter Soldier is a subpar spy thriller, and is literally every major film in its genre. Not to mention that the political themes in it are borderline nonsense. Government surveillance is good in theory, but only bad because of all the nazis that secretly infiltrated the government.
>>78726810
> and is literally every major film in its genre
Literally worse than*
>>78719543
I just love the fact that the bass in Yellowjacket's theme is the droning hum of wasps. I got a boner every time I heard it.
>>78717795
>>78726810
idk senpai, still way better than man of steel
>>78721756
Im agree with you 100%. One of the first things I noticed about the MCU movies is that there's always that funny lead actor. Every. Single. Fucking. Movie. It just doesn't work when they're all together. But that's the marvel formula for you, plebs like it so they're not going to stop. Age of Ultron tried to fool people with their trailer, and genuinely looked decent with it's serious tone, but it was all a lie. Expect the same with Civil War.
>>78726810
>but only bad because of all the nazis that secretly infiltrated the government
I'm pretty sure Cap disagrees with Project Insight from the start before he knew of HYDRA's involvement at all. And Nick Fury still agreed with Insight without knowing about their involvement. With Fury, it was an example of well-intentioned extremism - with HYDRA, it was "This is why this idea is bad."
>>78727544
>Every. Single. Fucking. Movie.
Thor and Cap aren't really that funny. Iron Man and Star-Lord are appropriate for their characters, and I would say the same for Ant-Man, but I never really read any Ant-Man.
Not that I don't agree that the tone of Iron Man has affected all the other films, but I think people blow it way out of proportion. I'm hoping we saw the worst of it in AoU.
I'm giving the Russos the benefit of the doubt.
>>78725618
Wait, bendypoots cooblesnoot came from tumblr? Or are you just throwing together 2 things you dislike to feel justified in your disliking them?
>>78713200
I didn't think it would bomb but I was right about it being the lowest grossing film in it's phase.
I was wrong thinking it wouldn't get a sequel though.
The movie itself was pretty mediocre, it had some funny moments but I wouldn't have gone out and seen it if my friend didn't drag me along.
>>78721012
It did great for a film, but it's performance is rated relative to the other films. It had to do well enough that it wouldn't get replaced by another Marvel IP like Hulk did. Surprisingly it is getting a sequel so it must have hit Marvel's expectations.

Because just like /co/, Marvel had low expectations.
>>78726810
>Government surveillance is good in theory
Project Insight went beyond just surveillance. Even without the reveal that Hydra was secretly involved it was still a bunch of helicarriers that planned to preemptively shoot people their computers decided were a threat.
>>78726810
>Government surveillance is only bad because of all the nazis that secretly infiltrated the government.
Did you even watch the movie?
Even before Hydra is revealed it's presented to be a bad idea. That's what the whole "this isn't freedom, this is fear" line was about.
