We were not robbed. What we got this time around was much better
Yeah, the story sounds like a downgrade to me, but, I'm sure the visual style of the movie would've been incredibly distinct and memorable.
Edgar wright is a better director than i forgot his name so the final product would’ve been better though
Apparently only on the visual department. I like some changes like Hank not dying.
If i had a nickel for every time Pierce Brosnan played as an old super hero who died at the end of the movie, i would have one-and-a-half nickels which is not much but it's weird that it almost happened twice.
The final script plus Wright's direction sounds like the way to go
It's been a while since I've watched Ant-Man, but this is kinda already what happened isn't it?
>Scott gets released from prison, his wife is now with a detective
>The two have a rough relationship
>Hank and his daughter are distant, Janet is "dead"
>Main antagonist is Hank's protege, an OC who makes his own suit and is angry that Hank didn't teach him the formula for Pym Particles. Hope is also working with them
>Scott is picked by Hank for a heist where his friends help him out
>Hope has a falling out with Hank's protege, she and Hank eventually reconcile
>OC even dies due to a malfunctioning suit
Most of the story beats are there. The biggest differences are Hank's death, Scott getting back with his wife after the detective turns out to be a c**t, and the ending with Hope becoming the CEO and Scott and his team being the security team for Pym Tech.
Darren is from the comics though
Yeah, the final movie is not a complete overhaul and pretty much still uses Wright's script as a basis. I wonder what change made him quit, Hank not dying or the references to the broader MCU. The final version was made after Wright already left the production and that's the one that has more changes.
The latter, apparently Edgar Wright didn't want to insert that cold open flashback with Peggy and Howard.
I don't see why Marvel couldn't have inserted a post-credits scene behind his back.
Really? I thought it would be something more intrusive in the middle of the story like the Falcon fight. The opening at least works to show Hank Pym as a disgruntled scientist that doesn't trust anyone with his tech, especially a Stark.
Edgar Wright didn't want the movie to have overt MCU overlap, like the extended Falcon cameo. He wanted it to be like Captain America 1, a good standalone film throughout
Falcon was only added after Wright's departure.
that's what I mean. Marvel wanted more overlap in the Ant Man film, Wright leaves, there's then an extended cameo that exists to explain future Marvel stuff
It wasn't even a good scene, maybe if they actually included Cap even for just a minute I could understand why they'd want Wright to put it in
IMO the Falcon scene was cleary hamfisted but at least it was an enjoyable fight scene, and felt really comic booky, like how usually hero makes a cameo in the book of another hero and they either fight or help each other. The only other thing it really does is explain how Ant-Man ends up fighting for Team Cap in Civil War. On that topic, I think the collaboration was doomed to fail because even if Edgar Wright got to make his movie without compromise, the next movie would throw a wrench at whatever plan he would have for a sequel because it would affect the status quo he created at the end of his movie. For example, Peyton Reed found out way too late that Marvel was going to use Giant-Man for Civil War and that was something he wanted save for the sequel. I could see Wright getting fed up at Marvel if they pulled the same thing with him and wouldn't want to return for a sequel.
>Pym was supposed to be a turbo homosexual who not only let his wife die, but also would have willingly lead Scott to death
So much for subversion of expectations. Those kind of directors really are one trick pony, too bad they didn't canned The Last Jedi also.
i am ok if they subvert israeli expectations. however, it seems like a meme phrase to engage in racist Caucasophobia
>woman gets away with being a direct accomplice to the evil man who dies
Yawn, good pass
I like Wright as a director but I feel like for his scripts to be their best he NEEDS Simon Pegg.
I'm not really vibing with this.
I always thought the rumor was that Hank was supposed to be more of an outright villain in wrights script but disney balked at the idea.
Was Wright's test footage ever used in the film? I think I remembered they recycled it in one scene.
Yes
