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.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.

Eh, I'd rather have a Black Widow movie. I like MCU Nat bunches and loads, and she'll have been in four movies without a solo go after A2, which just seems wrong for the main female character in the MCU.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hank Pym isn't the main character though.
And he's not even building Ultron so I'm not entirely sure why they're intent on having an Ant-Man movie. They have so many other options!
If they introduce Cassie Lang, though, that would be cool.
