I like to add a win for the fact that Cassie's step father truly cared about her and bravely stood up to Yellowjacket to protect her. In a lesser movie he would have been a total coward just to make Scott look better
That is a win. He wasn't a bad guy and did care about Cassie. Sure he didn't get along with Scott and probably had a bias against him (for various reasons). But in the end they both cared about that kid and they managed to reconcile. Good job by the movie with that. Didn't have to make him a bad guy just to make Scott look better.
Overlooked Win: Cassie's Dad & Stepdad. Scott Lang wasn't an absentee dad once he left prison unlike Hank Pym who could have been there for his daughter. Scott tried to re- connect with Cassie, when other ex-cons distance themselves. Paxton was a loving step-dad to kid, regardless of her snark. Not a typical movie step-parent.
I also love how Cassie’s mother doesn’t treat Scott terribly as stereotypical exes do and it’s highly likely she’d let him in,if he paid child support.
"He's so ugly, I love him!" That was off the cuteness scale. We're going to need a bigger scale. She just beat Agnes, and the stuffed unicorn that was "So fluffy I'm gonna die!"
8:50 truly shows the difference between CinemaWins and CinemaSins. In the sins video, he complained that Scott is basically instructing the ants to drown themselves to make themselves as a raft for him float. CinemaWins actually researched how these fire ants can make an oxygen barrier around themselves. Crazy what a google search can do!
sooo, not gonna mention on how amazing a step dad jim paxton was to cassie? like, he didn’t care that her father is the man he hates, he just wants her to be happy and safe and calls her sweetheart and basically loves her like his own.
4 years late replying to this, but I wouldn't even say that he hates Scott, just that he's not entirely sure what kind of influence he'll be to Cassie as an ex-con. Paxton doesn't ever target Scott maliciously at all (which he probably would if he hated Scott) and although he's fairly harsh when Scott shows up unannounced to Cassie's party and again when Scott is rearrested, his attitude is still kind of understandable and not vindictive at all. Throughout the film, the guy is literally just doing his job as both a cop and someone who clearly cares about Cassie despite not being her biological father and he has no worries about letting Scott go at the end of the film once he's proved that he's a good guy and can be a good father to Cassie.
I met Paul Rudd when I went on set of a movie he was in with my dad, a film producer. He was super nice, and a great actor too. He said himself that when he went to quantum level it didn't make sense, because pym particles only shrink the space between the atoms, not the atoms themselves. He was so awesome that he introduced himself to me, because I was way too nervous to introduce myself to him.
Back before I was born (I'm 11 currently), my Nono, (I'm part Italian), Owned a car shop. One time he was selling an old car, (we own the same type of car but can't use it). The person who was buying it Was Clint Eastwood. Clint ended up buying the car and loving it. A few weeks later he sent my Nono a gift. It was a little kit of fancy shot glasses that my family owns to this day. My mom told me this story. I never knew my Nono because he died, but that story always makes me smile. And I've always wanted to meet a famous person that would be that nice.
I was actually pretty happy that Falcon was the Avenger that showed up in this film because it gave him a chance to get a cool fight scene after missing out on the finale of Age of Ultron. He gets to show off why he’s cool while providing a believable measure of progress to Scott’s training.
The conflict between Pym and Cross reminds me a lot about Shifu and Tai Lung. They both saw potential in their pupil but they failed to see the darkness in their hearts. Also, Ant-tony. You'll be missed, buddy. 😢
So does that make Scott the Po of the movie? Thinking about it that would make sense and does fit nicely comparing the personalities of the characters in both movies.
5:53 Ehhh, not necessarily. I saw it as Hank scared he'd lose Hope like he lost Janet. Heck, that's why he recruited Scott in the first place. Scott said it to Hope: "I'm expendable."
Hank's remark about keeping the Pym particles out of Stark's hands is all the more entertaining in light of how Endgame went down. One has to wonder whether those particulars had already been figured out when this script was finalized.
Patrick Roelant Antony's death made me feel way more sadder then Quicksilver ever did. Though maybe it's just because I'm too sensitive to see animals hurt in any situation, even if they're not real.
OK, if Marvel pulls off Doctor Strange as well as they pulled off Ant-Man and Guardians Of The Galaxy, I'll literally never question them again until they actually make a stinker.

Or if it had still been made it may have not gotten the effort that it did.
“No way Paul Rudd can carry a film like Chris Pratt.” I respectively disagree with this. Chris Pratt *IS* awesome in GotG. However, I think Paul Rudd held is own solidly and did an equal (if not better) job with his quips and wit and playing it straight- so it turns out even funnier. Both are great!!
j p Of course I know the writers write the quips. But he has the charisma to pull it off. There was literally no reason for your reply back to me. If you don’t like a comment- move on TH-cam police. I wasn’t ranting. I stated an opinion
A little too late on this discussion... but is it not public knowledge that Paul Rudd is one of the screenwriters of this film and the sequel? So he does not only deliver the best comedic lines, he wrote some of it too.
I think the whole thing about Cross using a lamb instead of a mouse was to further him as a villain, but more so because lambs are seen as symbols of innocence rather than it being cuter, and killing an innocent is very villainesque.
I weirdly appreciate them finding a way to keep the "problematic" aspects of Hank Pym in the universe. We shouldn't glorify domestic abuse but pretending it doesn't exist or isn't a component of complex human beings is not helpful either.
I give so much respect for this movie. The advertisement didn't do this movie an favors for me, but god I regret to this day I didn't see this movie when it came out in theaters. Honest Trailers is what got me to rent it, and its in my top 5 favorite Marvel /Superhero movies. Tomorrow ok going to see Dr Strange with my little brother and mom, I didn't have AntMan be my first 3-D experience..but hopefully Strange and AntMan 2 will be just as incredible if not better;).
It's funny. The trailer sold us perfectly on the attitude of the film "You'll be Antman!" "Uh.. are you locked in on that name?" (or something like that). Irreverent-- didn't take itself seriously. And yet STILL kept the name and made it respected. Marvel so far succeeds because they respect the characters. DC has superman killing. The only poor aspect of Marvel is generic music. I've seen some bits where music appropriate to the scenes is used and the scenes are even better. I think Deadpool was soooo good because it had a low budget. They really need to hold the budgets down. Plus marvel films actually translate comic book scenes (like splash pages) effectively to the screen. And DC is just too dark. They need to lighten up.
My parents were both Depression-era farm kids. Dad never yelled ; mom, from the strict upbringing she had, was the disciplinarian. but I understand your point: for me, it would be like mom asking, "Do I have to get the Belt?"
Yeah, I hate it when that happens because i always have to skip that scene or entire episode because its kinda triggering. The last time it happened to me was when in grey's anatomy Meredith's father slaps her in the hospital in front of everyone. That scene was so real to me I could never watch it again.
I think the smartest thing they did was jump past the Hank Pym ant man and instead make Scott Lang's Ant Man the focus. Aside from the fact that I really liked this elderly mentor character who for once didn't die halfway for the film, having it be Hank Pym doing a origin story would have killed the film. Comic Book Hank Pym is reprehensible, pointless and boring. There is only two things about Hank Pym, that he created Ultron and the domestic abuse against Janet (I don't know the context and I don't want to because it is indefensible). The MCU showed that you didn't need Hank to create Ultron so there is nothing Hank could bring to the Avengers. He would be just another 'Smart' person but without Tony's charm or Bruce's tragedy. Meanwhile Scott brings the powers but also with a fresh perspective. And credit where it is due, this film made me care about Hank Pym. Film Hank Pym I would love to see more of and see him interact with other marvel characters. At the very least I would love to see Hank and Tony in a room together, just to see them duke it out.
Agree about the good of skipping Hank's origin and just letting it eek out. However, it should be remembered that the whole "abusive" thing was an artistic error. The intent was for Hank, at a desk, working feverishly, to throw his hands up in frustration, errantly hitting Janet whom was standing much closer than he knew. The artist drew a dramatic standing backhanded blow ('cause everything had to staged for max drama, right?)...the poor panel ran b/c there wasn't time to have it redone and still be the pages to press. Why Marvel allowed other writers to build on the asshole myth instead of ignoring the error, I don't know, but it bugs me b/c Hank cherished Janet.
The Elite Shock Trooper I'm watching it on Monday, I really wanted to go to the premiere but I had to babysit my little brother so I couldn't make it 😢
It is a solid addition to everything. It has is a good thinking movie. It also has a spiritual side in some things as well. Hard to say more without spoiling.
I'm so glad David Dastmalchian got a chance to flex his acting muscles a bit in The Suicide Squad. His story is absolutely fascinating, and he seems like a good dude
5:15 - Love the second theory. Makes a whole lot of sense. He's a thief, and hardly a Ph.D, why tell him things you don't really want to tell him and he wouldn't understand in the first place?
It would be great if you could make everything great about The Incredible Hulk, it is such a criminally underrated marvel movie that it needs some wins...
AboAbdulable I haven't seen the whole thing yet but I saw a tiny bit of it at a hotel once. I know people skip it because they got Ruffalo for our main Hulk instead but it seemed from that snippet like a genuinely good film.
I don’t know if it’s how Luis says it, or it’s how the actor emphasises it, but the ‘ just chillin ‘ part of the story gets me everytime. Also, there’s no evidence, but I always thought Hank couldn’t use the suit anymore because of the anger he showed, like it affected him on that level.
When I saw the trailers (knowing little about Antman) I was exited for the movie, mainly because you could immediatly tell that this was a fundamentaly different origin story to the rest of the MCU. I mean, a genius billonaire + sidekick, a supersoldier from 70 years ago, a scientist/rage monster, a demigod, two professional assasins, an artificial lifeform, a mutant/witch, and a veteran with a pretty unique deployment. And that last one is the most ordinary of them all (which makes the interaction between Falcon & Antman pretty appropriate actually). Introducing Antman as someone from the other end of the social spectrum was a brilliant move in terms of character constellation, and that played out pretty well in Civil War. And similar things could be said about the action; They deliberatly went for the fundamentally different type, literally on the opposite end of the scale. This wasn't a random character being thrown into the mix to bridge the time until Civil War. There was clearly a lot of narrative method behind this in the grand sceem of the MCU. I walked out of the theater thinking "Well, I enjoyed this, it was different. And I can't wait to see how the rest of the team will interact with this rather ordinary guy." Which I'm pretty sure was the intention.
Fernando Aguilera tbh he's really not that bad, and his appearances clearly decrease as the movies progress, implying that Lucas noticed that people didn't really like jar jar...but literally nobody in any of the movies showed much proof of liking jar jar
Jar Jar was originally supposed to be Yoda's counterpart. Unfortunately, Lucas didn't reveal that soon enough and the backlash made him balk. There are many scenes in the first prequel which blatantly show Jar Jar using drunken gods style martial arts and using force powers. And the jedi don't even sense it. As the goofy yoda was a disquise, the goofy Jar Jar was a disquise. It's very likely Jar Jar was as old as or older than Yoda (and survived the "rule of two" being implemented).
I re-watched this movie a couple days ago and having seen Endgame more than once, the "I've been trying for years to keep this tech out of the hands of a Stark" line made me chuckle a bit because all the Avengers get Ant-Man like suits.
@@dinotheruler1690 Nah it was because he was using a Glock 17, which in real life does not have an external hammer, but they added one so the ants could save the day.
Fire ants are able to survive floods partially by surface tension between their body hairs, their low mass density and the fact they're floating on the corpses of their less fortunate swarm mates
My favourite MCU film- I may be technically more of a Cap fan, but this movie is pure cinematic joy on a popsicle stick, and it turned shrinking from body horror into a power fantasy. Hooray for Ant-Man!
You,Cinemasins, Lindsay Sterling, and a few other TH-camrs are my go to when I feel sick or have a stomachache and you know what you always make me smile and happy and for that I just want to say thank you hope you're having a good day or night and that you keep being awesome!!
I caught it was an older Peggy. In that scene, I loved when the douche suggested Janet's death was Hank's fault so Hank slammed his face into the deask and Stark Sr. mutters, "Your the one mentioned her." Loved that! Hank was still hurting, grieving and NO ONE was going to stain his love for her!
I love your channel so much! You make a lot of really great observations about films and compliment them, regardless of whether or not they were well-received by critics. I love your attention to detail and how much you focus on the strengths of the narrative rather than the weaknesses. Keep up the great work! :)
Woah, woah, woah. I just realized while watching this video that the tank shown in the archive footage (1:10) is the same tank that Hank uses at the end. That a continuity win!
Ant-Man is such a fun little movie. I always like how it and its sequel ALWAYS come after big-scary Avengers movies-- it's so nice to have a lighthearted, heartfelt, family-based (father daughter relationships!! Yayyy!!) movie to relax to. I was always drawn to Ant-Man & Wasp's characters, the original ones, y'know before they became avengers and the whole slap thing happened (fun fact: years ago I found a post, from a now deactivated acc, from the writer of the issue where Hank does The Thing. Apparently the intention was never for it to be a deliberate choice, but an anger/almost accidental thing. Doesn't excuse canon but I always found it curious!), because I really loved the idea of a divorced man finding love again, as well as the constant struggle between balancing time as a hero, scientist, and half of a relationship Hank and Janet had going. They're the only comic heroes I ever read actual issues about, including the original ones! I never cared for Scott, he was so boring. But Ant-Man and Paul Rudd really sold the movie to me! All in all I'm the weirdo who always liked these guys and still loves these movies. Janet was the one who names the Avengers "Avengers", let my girl shine whenever she shows up again post AM-2!
I just watched this for the first time tonight and is now honestly one of my favorite Marvel movies ever. Sure it didn’t have as much action but it was fucking hilarious and the plot was still good. Can’t wait to watch part 2 tmrw night!!
A few things I noticed near the end of the movie 1. How can Scott break things in the suit when he is small enough to squeeze between atoms, and for those who say there is more space between atoms than the atoms themselves then that should apply to the wire as well 2. When Scott blinks in and out of reality, so does a crystalline, deep red object. Maybe a certain stone
I always thought that the reflection on his helmet was Doctor Strange. But now that the Wasp has been mentioned it makes more sense for it to be her than Strange.
I feel like the Pym particle works like he says it does, it does shrink distance between atoms but also reduces their weight while not removing any of the impact from attacks they use.
Honestly, I was excited when I heard the Ant Man movie was coming out. I'm a pretty big fan of Pym and his various personas. And even though I missed the Scott Lang era entirely, Pym was in the film, and that's enough for me
This was one of the movies i thought would be a bit too stupid because his powers was to turn small but still turned out to be one of my most favourite Heroes
Great video! I agree that Ant-Man is a fun film. I really enjoyed it when it came out. However, there's one small plot hole that you missed. It's established that even though something shrinks, it's still the same weight and mass, or something like that. Since that's the case, why was Hank able to hold the tank like he did? Unless it's a toy, it should be impossible for him to carry at all! Keep up the great videos!
I'm still confused about it, though. If the "science" behind the pym particle is not truly revealed, how come ant-man can still punch someone effectively in that size
Interestingly because of the mass the Thomas Tank Engine toy being enlarged should have just floated like a balloon and would not be able to crush a cop car
I love Edgar Wright! Scott Pilgrim is one of my favorite movies. And Edgar Wright does have some great techniques. But as far as I know, he had left by the time Reed added the tip montage. It's definitely reminiscent of Wright, but I don't think he had anything to do with it. People like to credit Wright with things like quick cuts and in this case swipe cuts with lip syncing, but directors have been doing stuff like that forever. Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, even Alfred Hitchock.

The scene is also clever because it shows that Scott “gets” Cassie better than his ex-wife did.

A little too late on this discussion... but is it not public knowledge that Paul Rudd is one of the screenwriters of this film and the sequel? So he does not only deliver the best comedic lines, he wrote some of it too.
The security guy whistled the tune of "it's a small world after all."
Which is just so clever.
OH I JUST REALIZED THAT OMGGGGGG
Scar: "No, no! ANYTHING but that!"
Hhhooooly crap!
@@EntertainmentFan11 thank you for beating me to it😂
Nice catch on the external hammer on the Glock, not a lot of people outside firearms culture picked up on what was wrong about that scene.
Will Mills
I still prefer Springfield... Bring the hate. BRING IT!
Will Mills Also, what ever happened to the fabled GLOCK 1911?!
The glock 1911 was a pure photoshop job.
No Body I lean toward Springfield too. Can't believe all you gun guys missed the machine gun flob though. Browning M1919 .30 not M2 .50 BMG.

I know brother, I was just making a funny. Score?
Ant-Man was a really fun movie. Never been this early on one of these videos lol.
(ಠ_ಠ) same
(ಠ_ಠ) yap
I love your Face guys xD
igds
Everything about ANT MAN made it a fun movie. i felt Michael Douglas stole the movie.
I think the whole thing about Cross using a lamb instead of a mouse was to further him as a villain, but more so because lambs are seen as symbols of innocence rather than it being cuter, and killing an innocent is very villainesque.
"He's so ugly! I LOVE HIM!" is a line so damn adorable, that I have to pause every time just to be able the cuteness.
I weirdly appreciate them finding a way to keep the "problematic" aspects of Hank Pym in the universe. We shouldn't glorify domestic abuse but pretending it doesn't exist or isn't a component of complex human beings is not helpful either.
I give so much respect for this movie. The advertisement didn't do this movie an favors for me, but god I regret to this day I didn't see this movie when it came out in theaters. Honest Trailers is what got me to rent it, and its in my top 5 favorite Marvel /Superhero movies. Tomorrow ok going to see Dr Strange with my little brother and mom, I didn't have AntMan be my first 3-D experience..but hopefully Strange and AntMan 2 will be just as incredible if not better;).
Really? I found this film to be rather unremarkable. Not bad. Just unremarkable.
Glad you enjoyed it though.
It's funny. The trailer sold us perfectly on the attitude of the film
"You'll be Antman!"
"Uh.. are you locked in on that name?"
(or something like that). Irreverent-- didn't take itself seriously. And yet STILL kept the name and made it respected.
Marvel so far succeeds because they respect the characters. DC has superman killing.
The only poor aspect of Marvel is generic music. I've seen some bits where music appropriate to the scenes is used and the scenes are even better.
I think Deadpool was soooo good because it had a low budget. They really need to hold the budgets down.
Plus marvel films actually translate comic book scenes (like splash pages) effectively to the screen.
And DC is just too dark. They need to lighten up.
Hank actually scared me when he yelled...
He kinda reminded me of my dad in the past.
Oh god Preston no
My parents were both Depression-era farm kids. Dad never yelled ; mom, from the strict upbringing she had, was the disciplinarian. but I understand your point: for me, it would be like mom asking, "Do I have to get the Belt?"
Yeah, I hate it when that happens because i always have to skip that scene or entire episode because its kinda triggering.
The last time it happened to me was when in grey's anatomy Meredith's father slaps her in the hospital in front of everyone. That scene was so real to me I could never watch it again.
I really like your second theory on how the Pym Particles work.
"I'll have to shrink between the molecules to get in there"
"I love you cassy"
Does anyone else think that Antman's score is really comic-like?
Yeah but it's great
Its...a comic book movie
11:58, thanks for actually knowing who she is. I love her work on TH-cam, so it's nice she gets some recognition.
I can't wait to see Doctor Strange tomorrow in IMAX 3D
MegaSoulhero man it's great
MegaSoulhero i chose Jack Reacher instead, i recomend it
Gabriel Kero The new sucks
MegaSoulhero Doctor Strange is a really good movie and can't wait to see him in upcoming MCU movie.
Francisco Ezel id say doctor strange is one movie you dont wanna watch high
I think the smartest thing they did was jump past the Hank Pym ant man and instead make Scott Lang's Ant Man the focus. Aside from the fact that I really liked this elderly mentor character who for once didn't die halfway for the film, having it be Hank Pym doing a origin story would have killed the film. Comic Book Hank Pym is reprehensible, pointless and boring. There is only two things about Hank Pym, that he created Ultron and the domestic abuse against Janet (I don't know the context and I don't want to because it is indefensible). The MCU showed that you didn't need Hank to create Ultron so there is nothing Hank could bring to the Avengers. He would be just another 'Smart' person but without Tony's charm or Bruce's tragedy. Meanwhile Scott brings the powers but also with a fresh perspective.
And credit where it is due, this film made me care about Hank Pym. Film Hank Pym I would love to see more of and see him interact with other marvel characters. At the very least I would love to see Hank and Tony in a room together, just to see them duke it out.
Agree about the good of skipping Hank's origin and just letting it eek out. However, it should be remembered that the whole "abusive" thing was an artistic error. The intent was for Hank, at a desk, working feverishly, to throw his hands up in frustration, errantly hitting Janet whom was standing much closer than he knew. The artist drew a dramatic standing backhanded blow ('cause everything had to staged for max drama, right?)...the poor panel ran b/c there wasn't time to have it redone and still be the pages to press. Why Marvel allowed other writers to build on the asshole myth instead of ignoring the error, I don't know, but it bugs me b/c Hank cherished Janet.
I wasn’t to excited to see this movie, but when I saw it, I was like “What have I been missing out on?!”
7:46 You say “One of the least expensive Avengers”, I say “Avenger who deserved more screen time”.
I have seen Doctor Strange 2 times now and it is so AWESOME!!!
The Elite Shock Trooper I'm watching it on Monday, I really wanted to go to the premiere but I had to babysit my little brother so I couldn't make it 😢
Amethyst it's brilliant dude
Did u watch in 3d and 2d which is better?
6starcrippin 3d
It is a solid addition to everything. It has is a good thinking movie. It also has a spiritual side in some things as well. Hard to say more without spoiling.
10:40 for some reason, Cross' scream scene still pumps me up. i don't know why. he scream is easy to remember
Michael Penã BEEN a RANGED actor. Comedy in Next Friday. Drama in End of Watch or battle Los Angeles.
ikr
He never said he wasn't before, just that he's proven himself to a more general audience.
I'm so glad David Dastmalchian got a chance to flex his acting muscles a bit in The Suicide Squad. His story is absolutely fascinating, and he seems like a good dude
5:15 - Love the second theory. Makes a whole lot of sense. He's a thief, and hardly a Ph.D, why tell him things you don't really want to tell him and he wouldn't understand in the first place?
It would be great if you could make everything great about The Incredible Hulk, it is such a criminally underrated marvel movie that it needs some wins...
AboAbdulable it's the only movie in the mic I dislike
AboAbdulable I haven't seen the whole thing yet but I saw a tiny bit of it at a hotel once. I know people skip it because they got Ruffalo for our main Hulk instead but it seemed from that snippet like a genuinely good film.
It's a lot easier to appreciate if you're a fan of the 1970's "Incredible Hulk" tv series.
Especially the intro. I could watch that over and over - the second half is forgettable, but the intro really works well!!
AboAbdulable straight up. Tim Roth as abomination!!! That nigga Stabbed Tupac!!!!
The wasp subatomic thing has me going "OH SHIT!"
Antman and Wasp were some of my favorite heroes growing up, I’m so excited that these movies are being made.
I don’t know if it’s how Luis says it, or it’s how the actor emphasises it, but the ‘ just chillin ‘ part of the story gets me everytime.
Also, there’s no evidence, but I always thought Hank couldn’t use the suit anymore because of the anger he showed, like it affected him on that level.
When I saw the trailers (knowing little about Antman) I was exited for the movie, mainly because you could immediatly tell that this was a fundamentaly different origin story to the rest of the MCU. I mean, a genius billonaire + sidekick, a supersoldier from 70 years ago, a scientist/rage monster, a demigod, two professional assasins, an artificial lifeform, a mutant/witch, and a veteran with a pretty unique deployment. And that last one is the most ordinary of them all (which makes the interaction between Falcon & Antman pretty appropriate actually). Introducing Antman as someone from the other end of the social spectrum was a brilliant move in terms of character constellation, and that played out pretty well in Civil War.
And similar things could be said about the action; They deliberatly went for the fundamentally different type, literally on the opposite end of the scale.
This wasn't a random character being thrown into the mix to bridge the time until Civil War. There was clearly a lot of narrative method behind this in the grand sceem of the MCU.
I walked out of the theater thinking "Well, I enjoyed this, it was different. And I can't wait to see how the rest of the team will interact with this rather ordinary guy."
Which I'm pretty sure was the intention.
Prince of Egypt (1998)
Also
SW Episode I
SW Episode II
SW Episode III
There's nothing good about Episodes I and II tho
JessFM flat out lie, if y'all have nothing positive to say then gtfo
I'm curious to see his reaction to Jar Jar Binks.
Fernando Aguilera tbh he's really not that bad, and his appearances clearly decrease as the movies progress, implying that Lucas noticed that people didn't really like jar jar...but literally nobody in any of the movies showed much proof of liking jar jar
Jar Jar was originally supposed to be Yoda's counterpart. Unfortunately, Lucas didn't reveal that soon enough and the backlash made him balk.
There are many scenes in the first prequel which blatantly show Jar Jar using drunken gods style martial arts and using force powers. And the jedi don't even sense it. As the goofy yoda was a disquise, the goofy Jar Jar was a disquise. It's very likely Jar Jar was as old as or older than Yoda (and survived the "rule of two" being implemented).
Just been in Cinema for Doctor Strange... Dude.. You simply *must* do a video.. Right now.. Go.. Go do it!
I re-watched this movie a couple days ago and having seen Endgame more than once, the "I've been trying for years to keep this tech out of the hands of a Stark" line made me chuckle a bit because all the Avengers get Ant-Man like suits.
9:38 Losing a win
CinemaSin: YES
CinemaWin: Nonononono... Ding.
Why'd they lose a win, Im confused.
@@dovahkiin7396 simple. A super duper high tech company still uses old ass guns.
@@dinotheruler1690 Nah it was because he was using a Glock 17, which in real life does not have an external hammer, but they added one so the ants could save the day.
Fire ants are able to survive floods partially by surface tension between their body hairs, their low mass density and the fact they're floating on the corpses of their less fortunate swarm mates
My favourite MCU film- I may be technically more of a Cap fan, but this movie is pure cinematic joy on a popsicle stick, and it turned shrinking from body horror into a power fantasy. Hooray for Ant-Man!
You should do Speed Racer. It has to be one of my favorite films and it's a shame that it is so underrated.
the live action one? i remember it being SO COOL!
IKR! A lot of people write it off for it's possibly seizure inducing special effects, which is a shame.
Ambrose The Bowman fun fact.- THAT'S what made me think it was the COOLEST thing EVAR!!11!1!
I actually wrote a college paper on it!
Ambrose The Bowman I think it was a little to advance for it's time.
Damn how long and how old was i back then?
5:57 Hank shouting "NO" in slow mo is the best.
You,Cinemasins, Lindsay Sterling, and a few other TH-camrs are my go to when I feel sick or have a stomachache and you know what you always make me smile and happy and for that I just want to say thank you hope you're having a good day or night and that you keep being awesome!!
I NEVER NOTICED THAT WAS PEGGY CARTER
master pp how?
the accent gave it away the overall british accent adds to her character alot
I caught it was an older Peggy. In that scene, I loved when the douche suggested Janet's death was Hank's fault so Hank slammed his face into the deask and Stark Sr. mutters, "Your the one mentioned her." Loved that! Hank was still hurting, grieving and NO ONE was going to stain his love for her!
I love your channel so much! You make a lot of really great observations about films and compliment them, regardless of whether or not they were well-received by critics. I love your attention to detail and how much you focus on the strengths of the narrative rather than the weaknesses. Keep up the great work! :)
Still wondering and waiting to see if Jeremy will do a video with you... or if he hates you.
“Does that mean the Manderian is still around?” He had no idea.
9:39 REMOVING A WIN?! Woah! I've never seen you do that, before!
As always, wonderful video CinemaWins!
On the firing hammer win removal he was actually hold a colt M1911 which does have an external hammer but still a great video
some of the most genuinely funny jokes in the MCU are in Ant-Man :)
if you believe that, id just like to say, "im sorry"
@@AzguardMike it's true, Scott is one of the funniest characters
and gotg
love your channel! !
yeeaah
DO TWILIGHT! Lol... It's a great challenge!
Woah, woah, woah. I just realized while watching this video that the tank shown in the archive footage (1:10) is the same tank that Hank uses at the end. That a continuity win!
Ant-Man is such a fun little movie. I always like how it and its sequel ALWAYS come after big-scary Avengers movies-- it's so nice to have a lighthearted, heartfelt, family-based (father daughter relationships!! Yayyy!!) movie to relax to. I was always drawn to Ant-Man & Wasp's characters, the original ones, y'know before they became avengers and the whole slap thing happened (fun fact: years ago I found a post, from a now deactivated acc, from the writer of the issue where Hank does The Thing. Apparently the intention was never for it to be a deliberate choice, but an anger/almost accidental thing. Doesn't excuse canon but I always found it curious!), because I really loved the idea of a divorced man finding love again, as well as the constant struggle between balancing time as a hero, scientist, and half of a relationship Hank and Janet had going. They're the only comic heroes I ever read actual issues about, including the original ones! I never cared for Scott, he was so boring. But Ant-Man and Paul Rudd really sold the movie to me! All in all I'm the weirdo who always liked these guys and still loves these movies. Janet was the one who names the Avengers "Avengers", let my girl shine whenever she shows up again post AM-2!
11:58 Anna Akana help write Ant-Man?! I have a new found love for her now.
I just watched this for the first time tonight and is now honestly one of my favorite Marvel movies ever. Sure it didn’t have as much action but it was fucking hilarious and the plot was still good. Can’t wait to watch part 2 tmrw night!!
That exchange in the beginning between Scott and Louise while they were in the van had me dying 😂😂😂
"If a movie can make me tear up over an ant, you know it did something right."
--Yup.
A few things I noticed near the end of the movie
1. How can Scott break things in the suit when he is small enough to squeeze between atoms, and for those who say there is more space between atoms than the atoms themselves then that should apply to the wire as well
2. When Scott blinks in and out of reality, so does a crystalline, deep red object. Maybe a certain stone
11:31 can i point out that Sheldon proved that string theory is not about strings instead its plates that overlap (thanks penny)
I always thought that the reflection on his helmet was Doctor Strange. But now that the Wasp has been mentioned it makes more sense for it to be her than Strange.
“Scott won’t tell anyone so he made it fast and small” ends up saving the world with it
I feel like the Pym particle works like he says it does, it does shrink distance between atoms but also reduces their weight while not removing any of the impact from attacks they use.
Honestly, I was excited when I heard the Ant Man movie was coming out. I'm a pretty big fan of Pym and his various personas. And even though I missed the Scott Lang era entirely, Pym was in the film, and that's enough for me
This was one of the movies i thought would be a bit too stupid because his powers was to turn small but still turned out to be one of my most favourite Heroes
My two wins that weren’t here:
1. Tongue in cheek Titanic movie references.
2. Two smoothie machines.
Great video!
I agree that Ant-Man is a fun film. I really enjoyed it when it came out.
However, there's one small plot hole that you missed. It's established that even though something shrinks, it's still the same weight and mass, or something like that. Since that's the case, why was Hank able to hold the tank like he did? Unless it's a toy, it should be impossible for him to carry at all!
Keep up the great videos!
He addressed that in his theories, watch it again
Oops! My mistake. Thank you for correcting me :) I must have misunderstood what he was talking about. Thanks again :)
I'm still confused about it, though. If the "science" behind the pym particle is not truly revealed, how come ant-man can still punch someone effectively in that size
Interestingly because of the mass the Thomas Tank Engine toy being enlarged should have just floated like a balloon and would not be able to crush a cop car
Banana maybe different intensities of particles affects how an object interacts with them?
"A Center For Ants" was indeed the name of the music used for that scene.
And the exposition style was Pena's idea.
I'm glad you pointed out the Garret Morris cameo's reason. I recognized him but didn't know why he was there until I was reminded of the SNL skit
Peggy Carter is always a win. Don't mean to tell you how to do your job, but you forgot that one.
This was my favorite CinemaWins yet - keep 'em coming!
3:05 "They kind of invented a whole new exposition delivery system!"
Clearly this guys knows *nothing* about the genius that is Edgar Wright...!!
I love Edgar Wright! Scott Pilgrim is one of my favorite movies. And Edgar Wright does have some great techniques. But as far as I know, he had left by the time Reed added the tip montage. It's definitely reminiscent of Wright, but I don't think he had anything to do with it. People like to credit Wright with things like quick cuts and in this case swipe cuts with lip syncing, but directors have been doing stuff like that forever. Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, even Alfred Hitchock.
@@CinemaWins I read somewhere that the scene wasn't actually Wright's idea and that it was planned after Reed came on board as the director.
The best part of this movie- Scott and Hope being the best MCU couple ever.
I never doubted for a second that Paul Rudd could pull off a roll like this since he was in Parks & Recreation season 4
