    Marvel's Ant-Man: July 17, 2015

    I hope so too, as they had to move very quickly from an interested Edgar Wright having to leave the project, to appointing an outside director who would deliver an already late project on time and keep it closer to Phase 2/3 interests. Peyton Reed's name seems to have been lying around since...

    Marvel's Ant-Man: July 17, 2015

    For obligatory "Self-ridicule, to placate the non-fans" line (qv. Darcy in the Thor movies), it was either that, or "What do I do, beat up on the ants?" Here, they made the more tasteful and fan-friendly choice. Still, this didn't seem to be the SDCC trailer that nobody outside the con ever...

    Hey, I said there was nothing wrong with his watching it--Last I heard, "You'll be sor-reee!" was not a statement of malice. ;) And lets us get over the shock that Yellowjacket (ie. the enemy, not the Pym Yellowjacket...or maybe it turns out to be?) now apparently has extra cyber-appendages...

    If you like it, that's fine--Better you than me. ;) But the fact is, it's been a vicious spiral for network TV over the last twenty years since cable and home-theater: Networks find out guys don't watch network TV--At least not during scheduled times, and it's largely female audiences that...

    Okay, so I stand corrected: Maybe there WILL actually be male viewers tuning into Agent Carter. At least for the first episode. (Unless they just wait for YouTube, like with SHIELD's Avengers 2 promo.)

    So, looks like Michael Douglas is still the "older" Henry Pym?

    Although IM3 and Thor 2 are now widely considered the two worst movies in the MCU (leaving aside the Fox and Universal films), either for putting the solo sequels on an assembly line without moving the story canon along, or (in Black's case), being thoroughly unversed in the Marvel-verse, and...

    Sounds like he isn't-- Lang in the comics was the "replacement" Ant-Man who stole Pym's equipment, and when Pym caught up with him, the mantle was handed over. Pacifist Pym was always whining about how he didn't like the biff-pow aspect of superheroing, and always seemed to be quitting or...

    Marvel's Ant-Man: July 17, 2015

    Quick glossary guide:Phase 1 - The solo films that introduced all the characters that appeared in "The Avengers" (Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye's cameo in the Thor movie, etc.), so you'd know them when they showed up. And thus ending with "The Avengers". Obviously. Phase 2 - The...

    Marvel's Ant-Man: July 17, 2015

    Back when it was first announced, I remember reading a British interview where the interviewer had gone in unshakably convinced that Wright was making some Shaun/World's End style Britcom Marvel spoof, and kept desperately, repeatedly trying to rescue his story by leading him off onto goofy...
