Size is not the biggest attraction
Counting your fingers, it has been more than 3 months since Thanos disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The half-dead ending has left Marvel fans in mourning, and many people are asking a question: Did Ant-Man and Hawkeye turn into ashes?
Finally, there is an answer to Ant-Man's life and death—
Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Woman Appears
Do you remember the airport battle in Captain America 3?
Scott, who can freely grow bigger and smaller and beautiful with the artifact, carries Professor Pym and Hope to Germany to fight with the gods.
Although this forced to get full marks, Scott, who had no background and no money, was extradited to his home after extradition to his home for two years after violating the Superhero Registration Act.
Professor Pym and Hope are also wanted for illegally manufacturing suits.
Professor Pym and Hope, who are hiding in hiding, have been working on the "Quantum Domain Portal" for two years, and Scott, who once entered the quantum realm and escaped successfully, became the key to this plan.
Only with Scott's help will they have a chance to rescue Jenny Van Dyne, who was trapped in the quantum realm decades ago.
Jenny van Dyne, Professor Pym's wife and Hope's mother, she was also the original Wasp woman and an important role in the Avengers.
In the comics, she is not only the only female elder of the Avengers, it is she who proposes the name of "Avengers".
Many years ago, during a mission to dismantle the missile, Jenny was trapped in the quantum realm because of the mission, and finally although the crisis was lifted, Jenny never returned from the quantum realm, and her life and death are still uncertain.
For many years, Professor Pym has insisted on studying the passage into the quantum realm, which is precisely the reason.
Jenny the original Hornet woman was played by Hollywood actress Michelle Pfeiffer, but this is not her first time as a superhero, in addition to the Wasp Woman, she is also the first generation of Catwoman in the DC Cinematic Universe, who fell in love with Batman in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" and wanted to kill.
More coincidentally, Michael Keaton, who played "Batman" at that time, was also laid off and re-employed, and was incorporated into the Marvel Universe, playing the villain Vulture in "Spider-Man: Homecoming".
As MCU's 20th feature film, "Ant-Man 2: Wasp Woman Appears" has been released in the United States in July, with a first-day box office of $33.8 million, 49% higher than the previous game, and the current cumulative box office is 209 million, which can only be regarded as decent.
Since Ant-Man joined MCU in 2015, his sense of existence has been relatively low, compared to the elder he lacks credit, compared to the upstart he lacks highlights, and the series of movies is also in a relatively independent and awkward stage.
Ant-Man cameo in Captain America 2
However, in the comics, Ant-Man's status is light. It's just that this "Ant-Man" refers to the original Ant-Man, Dr. Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas.
In the comic book universe, Professor Pym is an inventor whose creativity is not inferior to Iron Man. He is not only one of the founding fathers of the complex, but also invented the Pym particle, one of the most important weapons of the complex, to explain simply what the quantum field is: not limited by time and space, it can travel and break through to any place.
Captain Marvel, known as Marvel's strongest heroine, can also draw energy through the quantum realm.
The villain Ultron in Avengers 2 was actually created after Professor Pym was schizophrenic, and in the MCU universe, its creator became Iron Man.
Interestingly, although Ultron was "robbed" by Iron Man, the Ant-Man series did not suffer losses and also took away the two villains in the Iron Man series.
Sonny Birch, the chairman of Cross Technologies, is actually an underground arms dealer who is mainly under the command of Obadiah Stan, the villain in Iron Man 1, and in this film becomes the opponent who robs Professor Pym's laboratory.
Given his relationship with the Stark family in the comics, you may wish to open your mind, and the reason why Stark and Scott deal with Thanos may be here.
After all, judging from the stills on the set of "Avengers 4" that have been leaked so far, Scott has appeared with Iron Man several times.
The other villain, Ghost, is Iron Man's nemesis.
In the comics, the ghost is named John Morley, a male engineering expert and a genius hacker.
He has created a high-tech combat suit that allows him to become invisible, to penetrate walls, and to crack and reprogram various electronic systems in his vicinity.
Ant-Man 2 first changed his sex, and the reason for obtaining abilities was also changed to an accident caused by a failed trial.
It is worth mentioning that The Phantom is the second major female villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the first being Hela in Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods.
Didn't find it? Ant-Man with its own comedic effect, even his opponents are so harmless, the enemies have no pursuit of destruction, especially compared with the daily Thanos, they only do evil for their own selfishness.
This is also the most unique style of the Ant-Man series.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began with 2014's Captain America 2 and began to try to restructure elements from other genres.
"Captain America 2" adds political thriller elements, "Thor" is a combination of Norse mythology combined with space adventure, "Black Panther" is the first time to join African modernism, "Doctor Strange" incorporates fantasy magic elements similar to "Harry Potter", and the rebooted "Spider-Man" is closer to a youth campus growth film.
The most typical is Guardians of the Galaxy, which mixes the characteristics of space adventure, sci-fi comedy and B-movies.
Ant-Man, on the other hand, was initially defined by director Peyton Reed as a "stealing film", and by the second one it was closer to a crime comedy.
Removing Ant-Man's superhero attributes, you will find that the plot of "Ant-Man 2" is actually similar to that of ordinary crime films, with three groups of people fighting around the laboratory, both the humor and humor of comedies and the excitement of action movies.
The characteristics of Ant-Man's ability to change at will make the action scenes of this film more brilliant than ordinary crime films.
In addition to Scott, Hope also put on the Wasp suit as he wished, transforming into a second-generation Wasp woman. And her wasp suit is even more windy, not only equipped with wings, but also equipped with a laser gun.
Since "Captain Marvel" has not yet been released, Hope has also become the first female superhero in the MCU universe to support half of the sky.
In addition to the two Ant-Man, the pendants of the building, the car, and hello kitty can be arbitrarily changed in size in this film.
One of the most wonderful car chase scenes is a tribute to the San Francisco car chase scene in 1968's "Police Network Iron Kong", except that it does not repeat the action routine in the car chase scene, but uses the characteristics of the change in the size of the object to create excitement.
Hope turns the cute hello kitty candy clip into a weapon to kill the enemy, and the truck that usually blocks the god on the road turns into a cute skateboard under Ant-Man's knee, which can be said to be the biggest laugh in the whole film.
Overall, if you like not only super-British films, but also crime comedies, I believe "Ant-Man 2" will definitely make you worth the ticket price.
Finally, there are two points to remind everyone, first of all, it is best to choose imax theater to watch.
Most of Marvel's films are 2.35:1 ratios, but Ant-Man 2 was deliberately adapted for the imax expansion format because it used macro photography and motion capture techniques to highlight the change in body shape.
Therefore, the ratio of this film on the general screen is 2.35:1, but in some highlights, it will become a 1.9:1 ratio.
Compared to the two, the imax will have 26% more picture information than the regular theatrical version, so if you find that Scott's head has been cut off a part, believe me, it's not a matter of composition.
Second, one of the major features of Marvel movies is the Easter egg, and the Easter egg in recent years is comparable to the next episode trailer, which is becoming more and more important. As the "Ant-Man 2" that undertakes "Reunion 3", there are two Easter eggs, the first one is very important, appears after the short subtitles, its plot is closely related to the direction of "Reunion 4", everyone has to watch it!!
