Good way to circumvent the fact that Pym was a wife-beating drunk. They may allude to it by saying Pym was a bad husband or something, but it is a better idea to not have to portray it in a movie from the MCU.

The only thing they really had to do was not include it at all *shrug*

Why does it have to follow the same route as the comic?

its not like its Watchmen where they have to.

The whole wife-beating incident really isn't central to the character.

The whole inferiority thing doesn't work as well within the context of the movies.

Id personally have skipped all his early showings and delved into Pym as the scientist supreme. Introduce Wasp who joins the Avengers snd you get Pym as a space character and possible weaponsmith for your guardians in later movies. You could have also had him hack Jarvis thus creating Ultron.

But alas we get resident evil level garbage where they just take characters names and do what ever the fuq they want.

In all seriousness , all these changes to the Antman history and such are all to blame on Edgar Wright.
If he wasn't involved from the start, the Antman wouldn't be absent so far from the Marvel cinematic universe.
His constant lagging and putting off this movie even making other movies instead Hurt pyms presence in the Avengers and MCU history.
Now Marvel has to fix parts of Wrights script because his movie was always going to be just a standalone movie with no connection to the MCU.

Honestly Marvel gets a lot of the blame for the Pym debacle but I'm starting to think Wright being attatched to Ant-man so long is to blame. Joss Whedon has stated how much he loves the wasp and her and Pym were probably in the original plans but they probably didn't want to step on Wright's toes creatively. Fast forward to post Avengers/Winter soldier, they no longer give a phuck and stepped, causing Wright to leave.

Whedon also said he only wanted Jan in the avengers.

I still can't believe they are doing a Scott Lang movie, can anyone tell me 1 important thing hes ever done that wasn't directly copied from Hank first?

Again the scott lang and old pym thing is all Edgar wright.
Michael douglas and rudd had already been hired because thats the story wright wanted to do.
After he left Marvel was kind of forced to keep that aspect of the story because of the actors.

In that case they should have kept Wright. Either scrap his story entirely or go all out with him. But when you mix and match old directors with new them you get things like X-Men Last Stand happening.

You could have kept Micheal Douglas as Pym, I'm sure he will be a diamond in this turd nugget movie.

Really though what piece of work is on Edgar Wright's resume that Marvel thought he should get a big budget for a clone of a C-list hero. It would have been like Tim Burton doing an Azreal movie instead of Batman.

There hasn't been a bad Marvel movie yet. Hopefully that trend continues.

Ironman 2 and arguably Cap 1

Cap 1 was actually a pretty decent movie as a period piece. Cap 2 gave it a bit more watchability. Only dumb thing was no training sequences. If they threw that in there I would have had no problems with it.

I liked cap 1. I think the most impressive thing marvel did with cap 1 is make a pretty cheesy old fashioned character into a respectable hero. Mostly everything about comic cap was hard to translate into film. From his boyscout attitude, to his uniform, etc. Marvel did a great job bringing him to the big screen without altering him too much. Glad they didn't do some dumb sh1t like make him grim dark or give him an all black or grey uniform.

Ironman 2 and 3 were pretty bad though. Better than even shittier movies like green lantern or xmen3 but still not good

I know a lot of people who didn't like Cap 1 or TIH. But the most hate definitely goes to IM2 and IM3. Kind of strange considering he's Marvel studios poster boy.

I really hope IM4 goes back to the Awesomeness of IM1 though.

Iron Man 3 is the only low point of the MCU so far. Everything else is either good, very good or great.

imo

Captain America 1, TIH, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 were all pretty good.

I honestly enjoyed Iron Man 3. Hate it as much as you want, it's a well written, enjoyable flick. It does have some glaring flaws, but ultimately I left the theater entertained.

I personally didn't feel entertained by IM2 or IM3. And left the theatre really disappointed with both. I found CA1 to be pretty dull as well personally. It lacked any good and exciting action sequences.

I actually liked TIH though, but I know many people who hated it.

I never really liked any of the Marvel movie nor did I really abhor any of them, but CA 1 felt like a definite low-point.

I agree with you.

TIH was enjoyable where as CA, IM2 or IM3 did nothing for me.
