Hank Pym doesn't think much of the Avengers because of his history with SHIELD and with Peggy and Tony's dad and he said that they're probably busy dropping cities from the sky as both a reference to what happened at the end of "Age of Ultron" when they fought Ultron in Sokovia and as a way to show that he thinks they kinda suck and don't do enough thinking of the impact of their actions on regular people, just like his criticism of SHIELD.

[@patmccallum2660]

One of the things I've always loved about the Marvel U is how the heroes often don't get along -- they act like real people, and just because they all belong to the "superhero club" doesn't mean they're one big happy family.

This is one of my favorites along with the first Avengers movie and Guardians of the Galaxy. Paul Rudd is hilarious and I've always loved the character.

America frozen in a block of ice so he joined.

Out of the next batch of 5, it's hard to list a straight-up favorite because they are all SO very good. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Guardians Of The Galaxy vol 2 by a slim margin. As for your question, "Why am I attached to an ant?" The answer is because there's no reason for you not to be. Yes, I'm very biased, because I've loved insects and all manner of arthropods since early childhood, and I have a real soft-spot for ants in general. Basically, just because a life is small, doesn't make that life unimportant: tiny creatures can have value as well. Anyway, glad you loved the film! I look forward to the next reaction vid!

In my opinion, ALL of the rest of the movies are really enjoyable. The two I didn't care for are in the rear view mirror (Iron Man 2 and 3), and it's all fun from here.

I'm still convinced the quick cut explanation scenes are the Edgar Wright influence in the script, he was once attached to direct this movie but dropped it, but still I can not recommend Edgar Wright's movies enough.

[@patmccallum2660]

Those are the MCU films that lean more on humor -- it's smart how Marvel mixes up the tone of their movies, giving individual fans in a diverse audience something to latch on to and draw them into the other films. Sooo curious to see how Eternals will do at the box office. It's hard to tell from just one trailer but Eternals looks so different in tone from other MCU films, plus it's introducing such a big cast in just one go (with no set up!) in a post-Snap setting.
