Your observation that taking your home with you would be a great way to travel is valid, until you realise that this movie gets away with two major breakages of its own โsuperpowerโ rules. Firstly, part of the reason Scott can turn tiny but then judo flip a grown human is explained by saying that heโs still got his mass. Itโs just had most of the โspaceโ between his subatomic particles removed. Furthermore, because heโs able to concentrate that mass into a tiny area, it can be more impactful (like you can stand on someone with your bare foot and itโs ok, but put on stiletto heels and the mass gets concentrated into a small area and becomes excruciatingly painful if you were to stand on someone. So the lab (and therefore your house) would weigh just as much as a full lab (or house) and be unable to move. Secondly, even if you shrunk a lab (or house), the pipes and electrical connections would break and wherever it got re-sized (like the Pymm house on the beach) itโd be disconnected from any utilities. The sizing thing also has an opposite effect, too. If Scottโs mass always stays the same, if he became gigantic heโd almost be like a huge balloon. Lots of surface area but relatively little mass. Heโd probably struggle to deal with wind, let alone able to fight things. The great thing is that in spite of it being full of plot holes itโs forgivable since itโs a fun movie.

I think they needed Sonny to move the plot at times, e.g. finding out that the lab was in the woods... and it would have been more of a cop-out if they hadn't had him keep up with the pursuit the whole time.

๐๐๐ขThere have been plenty of MCU movies with multiple antagonists. I can't think of any that had only one. The very first Iron Man movie had the Ten Rings terrorists, and Iron Monger (Stane). Hulk had Ross and Abomination. IM2 had Whiplash, Hammer, and Senator Stearns. Thor had Loki and Laufi and the Destroyer, and SHIELD. Cap had the Red Skull, Hydra, Zola, and all of Nazi Germany to fight. And so on. IMO, this movie is better than the first Ant Man movie. Funnier, more exciting, more interesting villain(s), more character development, etc.

@thatpatrickguy3446

Great reaction to a great movie! Such a needed movie after the intensity of Infinity War, and that final scene was a serious kick in the guts. ๐ฒThey just HAD to remind us that we were all basically in tears at the end of the previously released movie and let's just make it a bit worse, okay? ๐ I love the first two Ant Man movies because they are about everyday heroes. Family also is a huge part of these movies. Scott just wants to spend time with his daughter who he adores. Even better for this family aspect are the fact that he and his ex-wife and her new husband are all on great friendly terms, possibly because all three of them adore Cassie (and who wouldn't?) and have come to love each other as part of that "We want what is best for Cassie, and all three of us being great together are a big part of what is best for Cassie" feeling. The Pyms, father and daughter (and maybe mom too?), have a rebuilt relationship that is the solid foundation for a family dynamic that had been ripped apart prior to the first movie, perhaps even more than Scott's was then. That rebuilt relationship has made it possible, theoretically, to potentially restore the missing member of their family. Bill Foster and Ava have a good family dynamic too. Ava is in a panic because she could die soon and has lived in pain for most of her life and while Bill will do almost anything, however desperate, to help her, there are things he won't do and he keeps her from doing them too. Even the three wombats have a family dynamic, with Dave and Kurt backing Luis' (and Scotty's) acts as best as they can. Three unrelated brothers who do what they can to stick up for each other. Even when two of them are feeling betrayed by the third keeping things from them. ๐Each of them is a great individual character with Kurt's childhood fears of Baba Yaga always cracking me up. The actors play their characters so well too. ๐ FBI Agent Jimmy Wu is more of a comic foil than any kind of villain. I ended up feeling bad for him and liking him in the movie. I kinda wish he and Scott had become friendly even if not truly friends at the end of the movie. Sonny was more of an obstacle to success than a villain in many ways. He wasn't truly villainous like we'd come to expect a villain to be (looking at you, Thanos. But after Thanos no one seems quite as villainous as he was), but he certainly was a royal PITA. Even Ava/Ghost wasn't really a villain so much as someone desperate to live and end her misery. It's difficult to hate sympathetic villains, and it makes us examine our perceptions of true villainy, which is always interesting. The comics I read when I was a teen in the 80s had a lot of that going on at times, and when it was done well it was very thought provoking and made for more memorable stories. The issue of Captain America (#249 from September 1980) where he fought Machinesmith's creations was one of those I remember still decades later. Anyhow, a great reaction to a blissfully innocent superhero movie (if we disregard that last scene...) which was so nice after the Infinity War pain.

๐๐๐ข Once again I'm inclined to agree with nearly everything you said about the movie. Myself, I'd've liked to have seen the movie play out as normal until Hope met with what's-his-face. He's the same, so we think he's being set up as a baddie, then Ghost comes in and kills him and his guards, thus showing her as the real threat. The rest of the movie wouldn't really take a whole lot of rejiggering to make it work without what's-his-face, either. Incidentally, Stan Lee's last cameo is in _Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse._ I think it's one of his better cameos, though I have to admit that it's quite likely part of why I think that is because it _is_ the last one.

Marvel Comic Book Info: - Bill Foster was the Superhero first known as Black Goliath. Changed his name to Giant Man, and then again to Goliath. He was tragically killed during the Marvel Civil War. - Marvel used the name Quantum Realm because they were not allowed the source name. Hasbro owns the IP rights to the source name - The Microverse. - The Microverse is vast - filled with a massive amount of worlds, characters and stories. The most well known were The Micronauts - a space faring superhero team that initially fought the villain Baron Karza - an empire building tyrant that visually reminded me a little of Darth Vader. - Marvel characters often interacted with characters from the Microverse. This included the Hulk, Spider-Man, and most often - the Fantastic Four.

This is a movie that I get a lot of hate for my opinion about. Largely because I can't give any huge, earth-shattering arguments explaining WHY I dislike it. I'm not actually saying I hate this movie. It has its moments. But this is in my bottom five MCU movies. I absolutely love the scenes with Scott and Cassie. The extra bits of family dynamics between them are adorable and add a ton to my fondness of Scott as a character. And the stuff they did with the car chase, with making the car small, then big, then small, then popping up beneath another car... that was all very cool. But a lot of the rest of the movie fell flat for me. Ghost has one thing that I think all really great villains have. A logical reason for the bad things they do. But putting that aside, I didn't find her interesting at all. Same goes for the CEO guy and his thugs. The FBI repeatedly trying to catch Scott breaking house arrest were the most interesting antagonists (the scenes were very mildly funny and that's it). And when a mildly amusing sub-plot is your most interesting "villain"... ๐คทโโ And just the entire plot didn't interest me either. I didn't care whether they saved Hope's mom or not. I didn't care if Ghost was stabilized or not. I just felt very disconnected from the main conflicts of the movie. That being said, though I would classify this movie as one I "dislike," and I have a lot of complaints up there, I don't dislike it strongly enough that I would skip it when rewatching the MCU or reactions to it, so there's that. ๐ RIP Ant-onio Bandaras. โ๐ค

As I mentioned on the original Ant-Man video, that movie is still, for me, stuck with the fact that it was an Edgar Wright movie that was taken over by another filmmaker, so for me, this *is* better than the original Ant-Man just because it's fully in the hands of these creators. I also *like* the fact that it's got so many things going on, and personally I would say that the non-villain here is Jimmy. Randall Park is so funny, and I don't think he's ever a serious threat to Scott, even though Scott is trying to avoid being caught by the FBI. Not that you mentioned it, I can see why Sonny might seem a little similar to Corey Stoll's Darren Cross, in that they're both business villains who want Hank's tech, but I also have a hard time imagining how to make Sonny into a character who wants Hank's tech *without* being villainous. The closest I can come up with is the role Bill Foster is already fulfilling. In any case, I agree that this is a fun, low-stakes comic palate cleanser after Infinity War and I think with this last viewing of your full-length I decided I think it's more of a fun, relatively self-contained one-off adventure than Ragnarok. I always look forward to seeing reactors tackle it after IW, and as far as something that comes close to a full-on comedy goes, I think it's one of the MCU's most successful examples of that. It's also interesting to rewatch this and think of the differences between the Ant-Man movies and Guardians movies in terms of humor. Guardians is more like zingers, directed from one character *at* another, and also punchlines that make the characters into the butt of the joke, whereas the jokes of the Ant-Man movies are more situationally absurd and generally witty, with personalities creating a funny dynamic. (It also probably helps that the Ant-Man movies have fewer "funny" characters -- the Guardians moves have almost everyone trying to be funny, which gets tiring faster.) Not going to say how it relates to this in case you don't know, but I hope you get around to Batman Returns (1992) sometime this year. The movie is set at Christmastime, so maybe it would make for a good holiday watch in a few months, although of course there's no obligation to time holiday movies to said holidays. ๐

You make a good point in the difference between Ant-Man and Guardians! And yeah, Jimmy's not a *true* villain at all, but still someone they're running away from / trying not to be caught by. I also hope to get around to Batman Returns this year - maybe I need to plan out the rest of my weeks for 2023 already. ๐ Thanks for watching Tyler!
๐๐Without any spoiler whatsoever, the time that scotts team gone dust was right before they press the rerurn button . For the story i agree that sunny was just annoying and could be easily gone and the movie would be better. For the special effects ,there is a point ,that I won't say , that there is a ,lets say "switch" , and i am pretty sure you will understand it. Disney buying marvel was ... Different

My biggest complaint about these movies is how they dumb down Scott. He isn't a genius like Tony or Hank, but he does have a degree in electrical engineering. He understands basic physics. I get that they do it for laughs but it annoys me.

That's a fair complaint that I hadn't considered or recognized myself!

i kinda agree but the type of physics they deal with in these movies is completely fantastical, you could have a degree in rocket science and it wouldnt help much. but idk maybe im wrong

I also liked this movie, but just a โhairโ less than the first Ant Man movie. Most people agree with you that the antagonist/ villain situation is crowded and Burch was unnecessary. I remember seeing this in theaters having a good lighthearted time for 2 hours and thenโฆ end credit sceneโฆDUST! I was sincerely nervous in the theater like, โ Oh SHIT!, what the F is Scott gonna do!โ๐ง๐ซฃ๐คฏ
