Throughout Marvel's many superhero characters, their motivations for becoming heroes are mostly focused on the idea of saving humanity, saving the world, and saving the entire universe.
The heroes in Ant-Man are different. Scott Lang, who was imprisoned for theft, was released from prison determined to change his mind and become a new person. However, in the process of searching for a job, Scott hit a wall at every turn.
At her daughter's birthday party, the ex-wife's current husband sneered at Scott, and the ex-wife was disappointed in Scott. Scott, who had not worked for a long time, could not afford the credit card payment debt and his daughter's child support, and in desperation, Scott fell into a trap designed by Professor Hank Pym and went to jail.
In order to be able to become the superhero in his daughter's heart, Scott agrees to Professor Hank Pym's seemingly absurd suggestion to become Ant-Man. From the end result of becoming Ant-Man, Scott is indeed helping Professor Hank Pym and Hope to take the potion from Darren's hands, ending the potential danger that humanity is about to suffer from the expansion project.
However, this is not Scott's original motivation for becoming a superhero. Scott was initially repulsed by Professor Hank Pym's proposal, but when Hank Pym asked Scott if he wanted to be the superhero of his daughter, Scott gladly accepted the professor's offer.
It can be seen that the idea of wanting to become a superhero in her daughter's heart is far higher than the ideal of saving all mankind. In addition, during the training of Scott by Hope and Professor Hank Pym, Scott was unable to concentrate on mastering the essentials of controlling the ant army several times.
After Hope mentions Scott's daughter, Scott leaps and bounds and completes control. Unlike other individualistic superheroes under Marvel's umbrella, Scott became a hero motivated by a very tender ——— deep love for his daughter.
Scott doesn't even want to become a human superhero, his motives are very simple, he wants to prove to his daughter that he is not a bad person and a good father who can protect her.
The film ends with less emphasis on Scott becoming a national hero than on him becoming a superhero for his daughter Casey. The superheroes in Marvel's "Ant-Man" are different from heroes with grand goals, but simply out of love for their daughters, which undoubtedly adds a lot to this atypical hero, and also makes this heroic movie have a lot more heart-warming ingredients, which is more suitable for the whole family to watch with the previous cold superhero theme.
The return of the film about family affection makes this film a lot more innovative.
Marvel's superhero series of movies often have individual heroism as the main tone of the entire film. These films captivate audiences with gripping storylines and endless visual impact. In addition to Marvel, production companies like DC have also launched many heroes with superpowers such as Superman and Batman.
However, the lack of novel film mode and uncreative story ending have made such superhero themes less attractive, which inevitably makes the audience feel that the film lacks innovation.
The "Ant-Man" launched by Marvel has added many comedy elements, so that although the whole movie has the coat of a superhero series of movies, it does not lose the relaxed atmosphere created by comedy movies. Scott's friend Louis is a core member of "Desp. Thieves", a role that undoubtedly gives the film a shining point in the design of supporting characters.
Louis's distinctive character characteristics echo at the beginning and end of the film, and his "funny not to mention" makes the whole film start in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and also makes the whole film evoke the audience's expectations for "Ant-Man 2" in a cheerful atmosphere.
In addition, Scott's training from ordinary person to Ant-Man is also full of laughter that makes the audience laugh. The addition of comedy elements undoubtedly makes this atypical superhero more approachable, enabling the audience to remember the image of this civilian hero more clearly, and also makes the whole film break through the bottleneck of previous superhero series films out of reality and from the audience.
Although the film "Ant-Man" launched by Marvel has many new shining points in terms of movie theme, plot arrangement, character design, comedy elements, etc., it is undeniable that the production of the film still has certain limitations.
From the scientific point of view of the film, the superpower of the protagonist in the film "Ant-Man" is also mixed with scientific guidance. Scott, who wears the Ant-Man suit, does not have almost divine superpowers, let alone call the wind and rain, nor can he be invulnerable, let alone become a god because he wears the suit.
In the process of comic book production, the Marvel team followed the law of conservation of quality for the source of creation of Ant-Man images. It is mentioned in the film that when the controller of the suit is out of control, the person will continue to shrink, shrinking to the subatomic level without the concept of space-time, using a microscopic perspective to let the audience appreciate a quantum set smaller than a proton.
Compared with Scott's predecessors, his "superpowers" are not so out of touch with reality, allowing the audience to experience scientific rigor while watching the film.
However, Marvel failed to integrate science throughout the film's production process. In the film, Professor Hank Pym's shrinking potion can make people smaller, but it is repeatedly emphasized that although the size of a person becomes smaller, the quality of a person cannot be changed.
However, in the process of film plot design and production, it is not difficult for the audience to find some problems in the film production process. For example, when Professor Hank Pym and Scott plan to enter the Hank Pym Building, Scott shrinks himself and rides on ants through sewers, etc., ignores the principle of conservation of quality.
Even if Scott is reduced in size, how can he ride on ants with the same mass? However, although there is a scientific imrigor in the second half of the film, the funny and funny storyline really brings a lot of happiness to the audience, which to some extent makes up for the shortcomings of the film in terms of insufficient scientific rigor.
