So, yeah, sounds like you might be spot on there. Well, Donald Glover's a creative genius, so I'd at least like to see what he comes up with.

Hermit Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Ant Man/ Scott Lang has been my pleasant surprise turned a favorite in the MCU. I read him in the comics and liked him fine, but he's a favorite on the big screen, so this is one movie I am looking forward to! I just hope they don't doom and gloom it up too much. As for Burn out ... I wouldn't say I'm there yet. The new shine has worn off somewhat true. I have, some might argue, now have lived through the golden age of superheroes movies. Just as the generation before me went through a golden age of Westerns. Westerns didn't stop, though they were over shadowed, and slowed a bit, and that's fine if that happens to Superheroes for me. But I think we have a few gems that will pleasingly surprise us yet coming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I wouldn't say I'm burned out, but the overall direction of the MCU toward a pervasive comedic tone is a turnoff for me. As an old fart, I also dislike the studio's reliance on mining comic story lines from this millennium, which I've often found to be lackluster.

I know he's supposed to be a big deal for the Avengers but he never felt like it, Interpretations of Kang have varied over the decades, but his vast resources and fantastic technology have always made him one of the most credible threats to the entire Avengers roster. My favorite version of the character appeared in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series. But the way the character was introduced in the recent Loki series was a bizarre departure from what had gone before, again veering too far to the comedic. It didn't inspire me to look forward to more of him. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ant-Man movie where Ant-Man risked jail and loss of visitation rights to his daughter, in order to save Janet from the QR and keep Pym's tech out of the hands of criminals? 2. It's Paul Rudd, man. Pattern Ghost, slikmar, Lawnmower Boy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I enjoy Rudd as charming funny not buffoonish funny. In the first movie he was shown to be competent and clever and a bit goofy. In the 2nd movie he came off incompetent - getting by on dumb luck - and the comic bits seemed to only highlight and focus his buffoonery.

csyphrett Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I disagree with the assessment of the second movie. Scott had some moments where Pym's tech let him down, but he faked out Jimmy Woo's Unit almost constantly, foiled the Ghost, and got his own wombats to help cover and put Sonny's guys in jail while saving the day, and saved the lab with giant power. If anything, he gets treated badly by his sidekick who supposedly trained all her life, and his mentor who should know better, and outshines them at every turn.

Pattern Ghost Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 New Quantumania trailer: Kang looks a lot less jokey in this than in the comics. Jonathan Majors was really good in Lovecraft Country and looks to be really good in this. I'm almost hyped about it. Like on the edge of hyped.
