Well, she wasn't in THIS movie...but come on. They made it pretty clear she is just waiting to be found.

ANT-MAN Post-Credits Scenes Explained: What Do They Mean for the MCU?

well...free advertising? I swear, it's getting like the crossover events. You have to buy every damned tie in just to get some insignificant kernel of information. It's why I hate Marvel comics and I am really starting to get annoyed with the movies.

I'm happy they didn't just kill her off, but has she aged in the Quantum Realm? Will there be two Wasps if they find her? I guess I just don't really know how they're going to handle Janet. Although now I want a kickass mother-daughter Wasp team-up.

My favorite thing about Ant-Man was it's scale.

Not in the sense that there was shrinking and all... but in the sense that at the end, it wasn't a huge knock down battle with buildings collapsing and cities being destroyed. There were enough moving pieces (character-wise) that you didn't actually know if all of them would survive and there were multiple opportunities where multiple characters could have perished and it would have been utterly believable.

The final battle in Avengers Age of Ultron had massive stakes and a huge convoluted battle that wiped out an entire landscape AND an Avenger and I just couldn't have cared less.
The final battle in Ant-Man had relatively simple stakes, no good guys died and it all took place in a completely ordinary, confined and specific location.

I agree that it was flawed. The comic relief was.... borderline racist and the obvious influence of Edgar Wright made me wish I was watching his version rather than the "Marvel Version".

BUT....

I laughed. I was invested. I enjoyed it.
 
So when are we gonna get a goddam Moon Knight movie? There was that oh so vague "man in Cairo" reference in the same Sidwell breath as Dr. Strange in Winter Soldier.

It's OK to say Ant-man was better than AOE, right? :)

Biggest Marvel problem... (in all the films?) is the villains.

I totally agree. Went in to Ant-man with very low expectations and thoroughly enjoyed it. Much better than Ultron in my opinion.
 
I liked it…

… and, perhaps strangely, the one thing that really bothered me was the planning for the main caper didn't make any sense. They listed reasons why they needed to enlist help, but the way they executed the plan, they could have done without it. Actually, now that I think about it, if you just move the scene where Hope plants the device and runs into Darren to earlier, before the water pressure being lowered, it might make more sense.

Being able to shrink into sub-atomic space when the explanation of the shrinking technology is of packing the atoms more densely also doesn't make any sense, but I'm very willing to forgive illogical super-powers, which is fantasy, more than I'm willing to forgive illogical storytelling.

I also wondered why they went that way. From a storytelling standpoint, why bother having the bad guy "triple" security?

Probably because they wanted more Michael Pena and the other guys.

Also, I haven't read that many Ant Man comics, but can he punch people in small size and still have it hit like he was full size? That seems weird to me.
