I miss the Marvel Studios fanfare. The salsa music was a nice touch though.

 

[DN91]

Do they do anything special with the Marvel Studios logo itself at the beginning?

 

[Ant]

So what was the easter egg in the quantum realm supposed to be? I didn't catch it.

Something about it being the magical realm that Strange would dive into.

 

[Quasimod0]

Now who was the asian girl that Falcon was talking to at the end?

I wonder why they have abandoned that? I miss it too.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

They nailed the Lore of the character perfectly more so than I thought they would.

BTW there is supposed to be an easter egg in the last trippy quantum realm sequence but I didn't see it, he seaid someone something is in there....could there be an infinity stone in the quantum realm? Or Maybe Janet somewhere floating.

Or maybe it's Dr. Strange?

That's what I was thinking, but I thought there was like a blink and you'll miss it kinda thing.

 

[TeeKay]

The easter egg is Janet. You can see her shadow or soulhette (or however you spell it) in the quatam relm.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Need to see it again I was kind of mesmerized by that scene Im so freaking stoked for the visuals in Dr Strange now.

 

[JangoNate]

A little late to the conversation and I'm sorry for any retread, but I thought it was pretty friggin' good. I'm a Paul Rudd fan and was happy to see him pull off this role so well. It's also great to see Falcon's cameo in this. I remember hearing everyone during Phase II saying things like, "How do you do the Avengers and there doesn't seem to be any Shield presence or Avengers presence afterwards." Ant-Man definitely took care of that in one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Now to get my wife to see it so that we can talk about it.

Well, I guess I blinked too much.

I thought the film was great. Easily one of Marvels top five best films for me.

The CGI de-ageing of Michael Douglas in the prologue was fantastic. The technology has come on leaps and bounds since X3 and Tron Legacy. It would probably be way too expensive to de-age Douglas for a whole movie though.

Did former Shield defence chief turned mercenary Mitch Carson get away with the Pym particles?

I saw Carson grab them but we didn't see him leave the building before it blew up.

I really don't like the character Paxton. I was hoping that Yellowjacket will kill him in the end.

And it's so weird. Because at the beginning, Paxton was such a jerk. But at the end, he suddenly becomes a nice guy??

Paxton isn't a bad guy he just doesn't like Scott.

Lang won Paxton over. Paxton thought Scott was a scumbag to begin with but seeing him risk his life for his daughter probably made him realize Scott wasn't such a bad guy.

The story is quite weak. They never explained why Hank couldn't wear the Ant suit and need Scott to wear it.

And why does Hank choose Scott to be the new Ant-Man? Hank says Scott is the only guy that he can rely on now.

Can't Hank just find other guys to wear the Ant suit and train them?

They did explain why Hank can't wear the suit. Prolonged exposure to Pym particles messes with your mind. Hank said he shrunk too many times over the years to risk putting back on the suit and we saw how crazy it had made Cross.

Scott is a highly skilled cat burglar which is why they needed him for the heist. Hank also saw some of himself in Scott which is probably partly why he choose him.

I'm wondering if they're planning to explore the young Hank Pym's adventure in future movies... It would be cool if the character appears in Agent Carter since it's obvious they know each other.

Agent Carter would need to make a big time jump a few decades to feature Hank because the show currently takes place in the 1940's and Hank is a toddler in that period.

I was quite relieved when Hank Pym didn't have some kind of "villain-the-whole-time" twist. I was worried that that I was gonna happen.

I remember tying to convince people that wouldn't happen because it made no sense but people seemed adamant it would happen for some bizarre reason.

So what was the easter egg in the quantum realm supposed to be? I didn't catch it.

You can see Janet flash a couple times in the sequence.

The whole quantum realm also connects to what Feige said about magic being a science that can be manipulated like Quantum string theory. The other realms can be accessed by guys like Doctor Strange.

Now who was the asian girl that Falcon was talking to at the end?

Just some reporter. I don't think she is supposed to be a character from the comics.

 

[chamber-music]

I kept hearing people say Cross didn't have much screen time but he was in the movie plenty. Cross character was more developed than Stane as well.

I like how Darren Cross had Ultron's daddy issues in his relationship with Pym. Pym was a surrogate father to Darren. Cross felt abandoned by Hank so was lashing out in his own warped way.

Cross wanted Hanks approval but also wanted to surpass him as a scientist and business man.

Cross kept cruel inviting Hank to his unveiling's so that he could rub it in Hanks face and eventually kill him.

Kurt's gypsy line made me laugh out loud and they found a good use for using a Cure song. Shame they didn't use any Adam and the Ants music.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Stoll did a bang-up job. He was genuinely creepy in a way Ultron should have been but never was. Best Marvel villain in a while.

 

[Arcam]

Loved Michael Pena's characters' love of fine wine and modern art through his stories told from the wine tasting event he attended and the modern art installation party he was at.

 

[terry78]

I keep hearing about this bathroom scene. Was it really that nuts?

"just back it up. back it up. just back it up. back it up." he had me rolling this movie.

 

[TheVileOne]

Carson did get away with the Pym Particles, and we never seem him again after that.

 

[moped]

Now who was the asian girl that Falcon was talking to at the end?

Anna Akana

 

[chamber-music]

I thought so.

I guess that potentially sets him up as a villain in the future or a way to explain Pym particles getting into the hands of villains in the future.

"just back it up. back it up. just back it up. back it up." he had me rolling this movie.

Made me laugh as well

 

[Ant]

Wait wait wait....there was a silhouette of Janet in the "quantum realm"? How did I miss that? Also, you guys think we'll get a proper microverse with actual micro heroes or whatever they're called?

She flashed on the screen when he shrunk and again when he enlarged if I remember correctly.

Now that Hank knows you can shrink down to the microverse and come back perhaps he will allow Hope to go in and explore it.

I wonder if that will come back up in Civil War...most likely Ant Man 2 if it happens.
