Marvel's Ant Man (2015)

I agree with everyone who says Ant Man seems.....well, lame. As stated before, ridiculous concepts like that may work in comics, but not a film.

yeah, because a guy who can psionically communicate with bugs is so much more outlandish than, rainbow bridges, a man turning into a giant rage monster or alien invasions. 😐

I don't even need to bring up other movie franchises because you don't even need to look beyond the MCU films to find more fantastical premises than talking to bugs.

you sound ridiculous.

By rainbow bridges, you mean "rainbow bridges belonging to a near-millennium old myth that people have known about and gained logical acceptance of since practically childhood", correct? Giant rage monsters are awesome (see: Godzilla), and obviously alien invasions are not outlandish considering the trope has existed for near over a century.

What is fantastical is thinking that audiences will accept the rather lame premise of a guy who talks to insects as well as they do an awesome uncontrollable giant rage monster. It's plausible that Hulk can bring something to the table if say, an alien invasion comes up. Only way Thornberry-Man will seem like a plausible world-saver is if some comedically-ridiculous Squirrel-Girl-esque bullshit occurred.

I mean, tell me marwash, how do you see Thornberry-Man using his insect-glot powers to save the world?

By shrinking down to size, entering where others couldn't and using his vast intellect and the help of ants to disarm the world-destroyer-bomb about to destroy the world. Duh.

I'll just lump you in with the people who think Aquaman's only talent is talking to fish, and disregard anything you have to say on the subject.

YouTube video

I'm sorry, I forgot he can grow and shrink, you know, that outdated obsolete trope that was only good in the 50's and Honey I Shrunk The Kids. . Yes, modern day audiences will eat that up. Box office gold! 👆

Maybe they will when he starts throwing battleships around.

Aquaman only has a bad rep because he wasn't properly displayed in Super Friends. Aquaman actually has a cool powerset and if shown, would be rather enjoyable. Ant Man.....not so much.

Stop talking before you sodomize yourself all way.

Just because it looked cool when Gypsy Danger beat down a monster with a ship doesn't mean it will look cool when Paul Rudd does it.

Sure, Marvel may prove me wrong and the film could be awesome, but until then, I merely ask you what is the latest "giant person" (not giant monster or giant robot) film that has actually been successful? Attack of The 50 foot Cheerleader?

Monsters vs Aliens. estahuh

Hey, if the film is good, I'll have no problem admitting I was wrong, but until then, we only have the details to go on, and, at least IMO, those details don't sound promising.

Dirty whorebag 😐

Marvel had invested millions into this antman project. Just the fact that their making a movie on antman must mean that they have a good idea on how to sell it.
I wouldn't worry, marvel/disney hadn't disappointed me yet.

Better question, what was the last "giant person" movie that wasn't successful?

And don't come at me with any SyFy channel C-Movie nonsense, I'm talking about an actual attempt that hit the big screen.
