Without Ironman, he is my favorite character
>Comic relief is actually one of the strongest and most competent characters
Love this little guy like you wouldn't believe
Love this archetype, any more examples?
Plastic Man comes to mind.
Kino
would be even better if the MCU wasn't a franchise where almost every character is the comic relief
Who the frick doesn't love Ant-Man?
Normalgays that refuse to watch his movies. He was basically Shang Chi before Shang Chi.
Nobody gave a frick about him before Endgame, but he was one of the stand-out characters in that movie. Normies love him now.
We'll see with his next movie.
With all the rumors, it sounds like his next movie is going to be pivotal for the Kang stuff. So it's probably going to be required watching for anyone who cares about the next Thanos-level plot?
He stole the show in civil war too but he was more of a cool set piece there. The real problem was that his second movie was an extremely low-stakes sequel that existed between two event movies.
Personally I think Ant Man worked so well because it was low stakes. I will agree that having to fit between events messed with things.
That's the problem with the big ensemble movies. Not enough time to give everyone development even though everyone may be fleshed out in their solo movies. Peter Quill got shat on pretty hard in infinity war and endgame for example.
>Peter Quill got shat on pretty hard in infinity war and endgame for example.
I'd say the same about Nebula, they made her moronic.
I'm pleasantly surprised that Thor Love and Thunder did justice to Star-Lord, he was far better done and Nebula to a lesser extent but she felt in character.
Hilariously Ant-Man 2 was far more important to the plot of Endgame than the movie that was advertised as being important to the plot of Endgame (Captain Marvel)
It is lmao.
>Ant-Man 2 expand further of quantum realm and the plot points for time travel in endgame
>Captain Marvel introduced Carol Danvers and she barely contribute anything in endgame
>Nobody gave a frick about him before Endgame
That's not true whatsoever.
>Nobody gave a frick about him before Endgame
As proven by the TWO solo movies featuring him before Endgame, right?
Never thought of it this way, but I kind of agree. I was pleasantly surprised with Shang Chi but too bad Simu is a complete c**t, whereas Rudd is likeable on and off screen.
Casuals. Just casuals. True Marvelgays have loved Ant-Man since day 1, the Pymp being a founding Avenger and his buzzing gf Janet named the team
To be fair that's Hank, Scott may have the same powers but they are pretty different personality wise
Oh yeah. How do you guys feel about Hank? I’m surprised Cinemaphile is so positive about such a famous Avenger being introduced through the legacy character rather than the original.
Because they did it respectfully. Having Hank be a grumpy old man that came in and immediately shat all over the Starks was so in character that it had me grinning from ear to ear.
The only bad part is that Hank didn't make Ultron in the MCU but Douglas is really good and I could see him playing a great Hank in his prime.
based and pym pilled
Me. I don't hate Ant-Man but I find his movies quite boring
Funny that both Scott and Shang Chi are San Franscisco characters.
MCU Scott Lang is more Peter Parker than MCU Peter Parker in term of everyday man
Came here to post this. I've thought the same thing ever since the car scene with Hope. Scott's everything MCU Peter should've been and then some.
His bad luck moments in the first movie reminds me of Raimi's Peter.
The MCU would be better if Natasha was a Nudist
Soon
Watched Civil War first and thought his whole deal was just comic relief, but in his own movies, he's surprisingly fleshed out and competent. How could they do him like that?
He plays to his strengths in the big movies since he's just one of many characters with limited screen time. He at least gets one of the better scenes in Endgame
I can't remember a single thing about Ant Man 2 or what he did in Endgame.
homie bodied a dragon is what he did
>I can't remember a single thing about Ant Man 2
The plot for Ant-Man and the Wasp was pretty forgettable (partly because it was a tiny bit over-complicated for the stakes), but it had a few sizey set pieces that are unique enough compared to the rest of the MCU that a few particular moments have stuck in my memory. That's better than most of the MCU films.
>or what he did in Endgame.
He didn't really do a whole lot compared to the "main" Avengers (given that it was their movie), but he was a prominent and beloved side character for most of it. He kick-started the whole thing, and brought the time-travel idea to the group (along with the required Pym particles).
In Ant-Man 2 he saves the day since he got mental link with Janet, tricked the FBI and got trapped into the Quantum Realm.
In Endgame he was quite literally one of the MVPs since the movie doesn't happen without him, came up with the plan of the time heist, gave everyone Pym Particles, becomes Hulk's bro, called out Tony Stark, saves War Machine and Rocket from dying, and he punched the shit out of a space whale.
>and he punched the shit out of a space whale.
The best part of that overcomplicated final battle.
said no one ever
Says me
>said no one ever
Fricking moron, do you have any idea of how many ants there are in the world?There's quadrillion of us
Except your mom
He IS my favorite Avenger. No exaggeration.
Thoughts on Hope Pym?
She's really ok, I liked her look in the first movie better
I saw a woman in a PornHub video who looks exactly like Hope in the first movie.
Elavorate, please
Larkin Love ?
>Solos Ultron
ANTS!
ANTS!
Ant Man is one of the most kino members of the entire MCU.
>Plucky guy down on his luck stumbles upon an incredibly powerful piece of technology
>Solos Falcon, a trained Army member and current Avenger
>Fights the Avengers and probably could have beaten the frick out of all of them if it wasn't for Peter Parker pulling a Star Wars on him
>rescues his love interest's lost mother
>comes to the Avengers with a silly plan that actually could work
>roasts Tony Stark
Non Canonically can Solo Ultron
>also revealed that the Thanos Butthole attack was totally on his mind too
>Actor is charismatic as hell and a really cool guy IRL
No one can beat ANTS
>roasts Tony Stark
I don't remember this, what happens?
In Civil War when he's inside his suit and says "It's your conscience, when don't talk a lot these days" and in Endgame they bicker like kids when the time heist gets ruined.
Best thing is that Stark can't even make a decent comeback, dude fricking lost lmao.
He's one of the better characters the MCU has left, yeah.
said me
Yes. I'll always proclaim that shrink/grow powers are the best superpowers from a cinematography perspective. Plus he's a real sweetheart.
Dude is unironically one of the best Avengers
He's alright but stuck with a boring female co-lead probably for the rest of time.
Antman and Wasp was garbage and the third one likely going to be as bad.
This, but unironically. Poor man needs to see a chiropractor because he carried Endgame on his back.
I haven't watched the Ant-Man films, but Scott I always liked seeing in the the other MCU films. Maybe I should actually watch his films too.
First one is solid and Rudd carries it. It also had the wow-factor of de-aging Douglas at the time, although that's pretty standard CGI now. Second one is not only forgettable on its face but is also irrelevant to the entirety of the MCU except to explain why Scott's in the quantum realm at the start of Infinity War, which is an important place to be, but the story of how he got there is entirely unnecessary.
Scott literally had one of the best scenes in the entire franchise when he comes back from the Quantum Realm, walks around, and meets up with his daughter. Literally the one and only time I had tears in my eyes while watching a fricking MCU movie. Definitely one of the top 2 MCU characters and I say this as someone who hates the comedy the MCU has
Funny it takes a comedy actor to understand what should be comedic and what shouldn't.
Devils advocate but did you say this stuff for Chris Pratt too?
I like Chris Pratt's Star-Lord but what do you mean in this context?
I like that he wasn't a science wizard like Tony and Bruce who can do anything. He has a masters degree and a realistic level of knowledge about different things. Felt very refreshing
Scott Lang is great. Just a guy being a good dad.
Man I love Paul Rudd. His marvel movies feel like actual cinema. They have Michael Peña and a good supporting cast and the villains were chef's kiss. Evangeline Lily is great as the wasp. I can't really think of a better superhero duo/ship
Pym Particles are unironically the strongest capeshit force out there
>Too far? Shrink the space between them
>Too strong? Shrink their strength
>Too small? Make them grow and play on equal footing and vice versa
>Need more firepower? Make an atom the size of a beachball and split it
Literally no weaknesses
Ants
He's so cool
ANTS!
I could watch just more casual Ants.
>It's my favorite character, Paul Rudd!
Yes.
Could I request some Ant-Man reading recommendations? He's great.
>Hank Pym
