[@denisewilkins47]

Please, please, please continue on with the MCU. There are so many extraordinary movies ahead of you and they are ALL interconnected.😊

[@arnavranka4510]

I subscribed to this channel, way back in May 2022, just for the MCU Content

[@ivym7661]

I am SO frigging CHUFFED that you guys are back on the Marvel Madness train, you have SO much to look forward to!!!

[@timbeatty8411]

New Sub. Watching all the marvels with you.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Thank you for getting back to the MCU! Now please keep them coming regularly! I love you two together. You remind me of my youngest boy and myself going through this journey. He's grown and has his own son now. You have other movies to watch before you reach the pinnacle of Deadpool and Wolverine but it's worth it. Just find the list of Marvel films starting in the 90s and work forward. You can wait til after Endgame for that.

[@JstaGrl329]

Great reaction! I loved watching this with you two! I’m so glad that you liked it I know you weren’t sure what this was about and I am so happy that you liked it this is one of my favourites. Keep up the great work can’t wait for the next one. ❤😊

[@rafaelbalhes]

Please continue the marvel journey 🤗🥰

[@SofaandChill]

Hey, Kev and Lewis! "Ant-Man" surprised everybody! Despite Hank Pym being one of the five Founding Avengers in the comics, not even readers were clamoring for a movie version of the tiny hero. MCU fans were intrigued but wary especially after Edgar Wright dropped out as director over creative differences. Finally, everyone just decided to trust in Kevin Feige's grand design and did it ever pay off! The result was a spectacular superhero adventure with just the right mix of action, humor and heart! In the comics, Hank Pym's Ant-Man may have co-founded the Avengers with his partner Janet van Dyne aka Wasp, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk but his history with the team is a troubled one. He never felt his power set measured up to the other heavy hitters, he kept changing his identity with his size, he had difficulty reconciling his passion for pure research with an adventuring lifestyle, he had marital trouble with Wasp, he suffered a mental breakdown and, worst of all, he created Ultron! Tony Stark creates the killer A.I. in the MCU but Ultron is Pym's baby in the comics. Pym is actually happy to pass the mantle to Scott Lang when he comes thieving along in "Marvel Premiere" # 47 which this film is based on. Lang takes to the superhero lifestyle and his relationship with his daughter Cassie is as depicted on-screen. Pym settled into a sort of emeritus position as tactical support and gadgeteer for the West Coast Avengers simply calling himself Dr. Pym which is similar to his function in the movie. Although he and Janet never had a child, he had an illegitimate daughter called Nadia he never knew about until she was an adult which mirrors Hope's estranged relationship with Hank in the film despite Nadia's very different personality in the comics. Peyton Reed had directed a couple of successful comedies called "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey and "The Break-Up" with Vince Vaughn but had no experience with an effects-heavy blockbuster. You wouldn't know that from the end result which comes across as smooth and polished. In a departure from the New York-centric MCU, the setting shifts to San Francisco showcasing the West Coast city nicely. The script achieves a perfect balance of comedy, sentiment and thrills but also, crucially, gets the audience past any entomophobia it might have by making the hero's ant allies palatable. Differentiating the four species showcased proves to be fascinating and personalizes the little critters. Shrinking as a story gimmick is as old as "Alice in Wonderland" and has been iconically portrayed in films like "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "The Fantastic Voyage" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!" but the size reduction sequences in "Ant-Man" are truly wondrous and imaginative! Scott's first adventure throughout his apartment complex is a memorably dizzying odyssey. A hilariously clever motif is utilized that contrasts titanic insect-size drama with its insignificance when perceived on a human scale. However, it is with the introduction of the Quantum Realm where the film distinguishes itself. Known as the Microverse in the comics, the sub-atomic level of reality is represented as kaleidoscopic geometry and echoing stillness where the rules of normal physics don't apply. The latter is as true in our world as it is in the MCU. The cast is great led by Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man whose long list of comedic credits and unassuming good looks make him an affable lead. In yet another remarkable casting coup for Marvel, a post-cancer Michael Douglas was cast as the prickly Dr. Hank Pym, inventor of the Pym Particle and the original Ant-Man who, in the MCU, is a former SHIELD operative prior to becoming a tech magnate. Evangeline Lilly of TV's "Lost" plays his estranged daughter, Hope van Dyne, whose adoption of her mother's maiden name as her surname speaks volumes about family tensions. Corey Stoll brings both pathos and menace to Pym's embittered protege, Darren Cross, whose unstable approximation of the Pym Particle serum fuels the Yellowjacket suit which actually was one of Dr. Pym's monikers in the comics. The supporting cast includes Judy Greer as Scott's ex-wife, Maggie Lang, Abby Ryder Fortson as the adorable Cassie Lang and future Young Avenger Stature, Bobby Cannavale as Cassie's stepfather-to-be, Detective Paxton, and Wood Harris as his partner, Detective Gale. Adding comic relief are Michael Pena as Luis, David Dastmalchian as Kurt and T.I.P. as Dave playing Scott's ex-con buddies with Pena's grapevine monologues making him a stand-out. In the secondary villain role is Martin Donovan as Hydra representative and former SHIELD honcho Mitchell Carson who links the current proceedings with Dr. Pym's SHIELD past in a prologue that features Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter and John Slattery as elder Howard Stark. The digital de-aging done to make Michael Douglas look like his '80's self in that prologue is nothing short of incredible! Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Falcon makes a surprise appearance that puts Scott on the Avengers' radar. In bit parts are Gregg Turkington as Dale the Baskin Robbins manager, Joe Chrest as Frank the skeptical Pym Tech executive, Jean Louisa Kelly as a Pym Tech employee who remarks on the founder's presence in the lobby, Anna Akana as a guerrilla journalist and Garrett Morris of "SNL" as a cab driver. TRIVIA: 1. The Pym residence was the same house used for exterior shots of Halliwell Manor in TV's "Charmed". 2. The enlarged tank from Hank's keychain was a functional Soviet T-34-85 given as a goodwill gift to the US by Premier Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991. 3. The rights holders to Thomas the Tank Engine had a number of specific stipulations before permitting use of the character such as not having Thomas run down anyone tied to the tracks! EASTER EGGS: 1. During Scott's escape from prison astride Antony's back, he flits through a trolley briefly alighting on a commuter's newspaper whose headline reads "Who's to blame for Sokovia?" which references the events of "Age of Ultron" and presages the events of "Civil War". 2. During his presentation, Cross jokes that reports of an ant-sized operative sounded like pulp fiction that would appear in magazines with names like "Tales to Astonish" which is actually the name of the anthology comic Ant-Man's adventures first appeared in before he graduated to his own title. 3. Scott and Luis share an apartment in the Milgrom Hotel named after comic book artist Al Milgrom. 4. When guerrilla journalist Anna Akana tells Falcon he has to specify who he's seeking because she has information on people with various abilities including one 'who crawls up the walls', she is making the MCU's first reference to Spider-Man! CAMEOS: 1. Garrett Morris' cameo as the driver of the cab Scott lands on after his first time using the suit is a tribute to Morris' portrayal of Ant-Man on a 1979 "Saturday Night Live" sketch called 'Superhero Party' which was the character's first live-action appearance! 2. Stan Lee appears as a bartender in Luis' closing grapevine monologue commenting on Anna Akana's good looks. END-CREDIT SCENES: 1. Dr. Pym shows Hope an unfinished upgrade to the Wasp suit he and his wife, Janet, were designing when they were working for SHIELD. He proposes that he and Hope finish the suit together so that she can make use of it which she agrees to enthusiastically. 2. The second end-credit scene is an excerpt from "Captain America: Civil War" that has Falcon and Cap debating what to do with a captive Bucky. The next chronological stop in the MCU are Episodes 1-19 of Season 3 of "Agents of SHIELD".

I would say the Toby Maguire Spiderman movies and the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies can be watched at any point before Spiderman: No Way Home.

Welcome back to the madness! 🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻‍♀️

Hopefully it's not another year+ before we get another MCU movie reaction.

[@SofaandChill]

Hopefully

[@thesnazzycomet]

Wait is this a new or old video 🤔 hadn’t you done endgame?

[@SofaandChill]

No haven't done Endgame yet, we are only here is Chronological order :)

[@lukasismael430]

I really loved this movie when it came out, and I think it should have made more money at the box office. But I get it. People who haven't read the comics can't wrap their heads around the name "Ant-Man". And the casting of Paul Rudd was a bit unusual too, until you actually see the movie. Hope you review the next MCU movie Captain America Civil War, all I can say is there is no way for you to be prepared for it, cos I certainly wasn't!!

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

Captain America: Civil War.......when?

[@thesnazzycomet]

Has Lewis got a one piece shirt on? 😮
