Hmmm. I wonder which company will meet most of its deadlines?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

If Marvel can meet the Ant-Man deadline, I shall marvel.

That said, I still think they should nuke their Ant-Man from orbit and call it good.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

You never know, a lot of people predicted GotG would flop, being based on obscure characters with few ties to the existing Marvel movies that not that many people care about. I'm wondering if Kevin Feige is an actual wizard at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is there no way to slot in a non-white-man lead before 2017, Marvel???

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I can't predict whether Ant-Man will flop, but I predict I will hate it based on how I can't stand the character. (Also, I can't stand the sight of Michael Douglas's face.) I never liked Hank Pym, but I never liked Star-Lord either, so they've proved they can re-work a character to make me like him. But I can't suspend my disbelief over making a human being the size of an ant, retaining a human consciousness in the tiny brain, and then making him human again. I hated Giant-Man too. Yes, despite that I embrace Bruce Banner's egregious mass changes with delight. Hulk is a metaphor for uncontrollable rage, and I like me some metaphor. Also, Pym was a jerk, and Banner is not.

In conclusion, I wish they were putting the energy of making Ant-Man into making a Black Widow movie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or Black Panther.

Yes! If they want to introduce a cool "new" character into the MCU movie 'verse with their own movie, Black Panther would have been a much better choice than stupid Ant-Man.

Hey. New board.

Hank Pym isn't the main character though.

It's not that I don't think one could do an Ant-Man movie, either Hank or Scott. It's just the stuff that's come out, assuming we're not looking at foilers, makes me give it the biggest side eye in history.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To hell with a Black Widow movie--give me a Captain Marvel movie competently done.
