I know I am still hopeful for a original 1960s avengers shot in a4
Fun movie, Wasp was awesome.
Her getting dusted really irritated me though, a waste.
I liked how they made the audience think for a second they would go with the conventional choice of the villain going after the heros family, and shot it down.
Marvel is self aware of their stealth mode meme... sun glasses + cap/hoodies = unrecognizable.
I laughed at that joke more than I probably should have
I got a mix, Family and Action-Adventure movies, which is pretty much what Ant-Man & Wasp is a family action-adventure movie, so it made sense:Did anyone else get a lot of family themed trailers with their showing? I got Hotel Transylvania, Dumbo, Darkest Minds, Bumblebee, AXL.
I was hoping we'd get to see a bit more of Janets time as the original Wasp though I wasnt really sure how she got additional clothing.
I want a prequel with Douglas and Pfeiffer de-aged fighting bad guys in the 60's.
The only de-aging in the film I didn't like was Fishburnes. Yes, his face looked younger but his body was still bulky like it is now. People that have followed Fishburne's career know that back in the day (Deep Cover, Boyz in Da Hood movies, etc) he was much slimmer. It would have been cooler to make him look that way in his flashback scene...
BTW, has anyone mentioned that the vehicle used to enter the Quantum Realm was "Rover" from his Dr. Pym/West Coast Avengers days? I haven't seen many mentions online so I thought it was worth pointing out.
It really just emphasizes to me how much a fan Peyton Reed is of the character.
This is why I wouldn't immediately lump her in the bad villains camp because her classification is more complex than that. Ghost was an atypical villain as her intentions were misguided for concern of her wellbeing being naive and isolated of normal life since young. She didn't mean harm or seek things typical villains do. For her role, I think she was portrayed well by Hannah. I'd say she's a solid intricate character that can evolve to be an anti-hero in the same vein that Winter Soldier was, as some have mentioned. Anyway I found her intriguing and was a solid character introduction, definitely not throw away villain here by any means.
As I mentioned in my review, the main point of this movie wasn't to save Janet from the Quantum Realm but rather to save Janet so she save Ava/Ghost. Not only her life but to save her from becoming a true villain. To me it showed the movie/Marvel understand that not all bad guys/antagonists are evil per se but possibly victims of circumstances and possibly redeemable via someone elses actions or their own. Just as I remember from the comics.
Does anyone else hate how Marvel has been doing helmet's forming on lately?
I hate how Iron Man's just basically appears there. It looks so lazy and fast and boring. Just uninspired. I miss the days of seeing the pieces really work together and fit, and even having the helmet still covering his whole head with the faceplate up. I know it coming on faster is probably more effective on his end, but for me as a viewer it just sucks.
Same with Black Panther, which is a bit better at least because there is more of an animation.
But now they are doing it with Ant-Man and Wasp's helmets. I watched Wasp's come on in slow motion and it just doesn't look good. I miss the way it was in the first movie when it would just close up when he pressed it.
It isn't ruining the movies obviously, they are all great. It's just a gripe.
Either way I wonder if Ghost will be a one and done character or will they also have her join the Avengers
How did Janet manage to get a retractable helmet in the Quantum Realm?
