'Heart Of Gold'
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.
The teaser for Ant-Man aired during Agent Carter tonight, and...I am NOT feeling it for Ant-Man.
Of course, I was strongly side-eyeing GotG when it was first announced, and that turned out fine. I do like me some Paul Rudd, so there's that. OTOH, Michael Douglas creeps me out, despite my abiding love of Romancing the Stone (shut up Jack Colton 4EVAH).
The only way to make Hank Pym less appealing to me is to have Michael Douglas play him.
Oh, is Douglas supposed to be Pym?
I never liked the character of Ant-Man and I think shrinking is a stupid illogical superpower (no, I have no problem with Banner Hulking out and getting huge). Michael Douglas playing Pym just turns me off more. This is the only Marvel movie I've had zero interest in.
I want a Black Widow movie, preferably with a nice long flashback to when Hawkeye brought her in.
I want to never see Black Widow again without recasting.
I know, I lose, but cast an actress who can do action. She looks silly next to Chris Evans.
Apparently Hayley Atwell is also finding the stunts problematic, but her acting more than compensates to give the appropriate impression of badassitude. Maybe we could have some movies starring her?
I do like Paul Rudd, but I'm not super enthused by the teaser. But...hey, little dude riding insects MIGHT be cool. Probably.
I think shrinking is a stupid illogical superpower (no, I have no problem with Banner Hulking out and getting huge)
Getting huge and smashing things at least seems somewhat useful to me. Being tiny and riding flying ants...I guess you could spy on people because they can't see you? I just can't make "IS REALLY TINY" a superpower in any useful sense.
Sounds like the type of character that might be useful in a group. ("Shrinker, you go in and find out what the bad guys are planning. Then we won't be surprised by what they do.") But not really a solo-type character, except maybe in the hands of someone very creative.
