I may have my problems with the Ant-Man movie, but Scott Lang is a treasure and a ray of sunshine.

It actually wasn't that boring, I just thought the first film played on the comedy better than the second. Of course, there were some parts I thought were rather weak, but I didn't think these particular problems were worse than how it was handled in the first film or even in the majority of other MCU movies. I actually thought they handled some parts better in the sequel than in the first. I enjoyed it, and if you were looking forward to it, I think you should still see it. I just feel like in a couple of months, when I try to compare the two, I'll remember them pretty equally despite not having seen the first in a while.

Haha, that's fair, and I'll admit that I was kind of intrigued by the dynamics between Strange and Stark while watching IW (though, I was already wanting to see what they'd do with RDJ and Cumberbatch because of them both having played Sherlock Holmes before... kind of a stupid drive, but eh).

Oh, I agree with the that. I also really enjoyed watching the cartoons a while ago (particularly Young Justice and Teen Titans when I was younger). I guess to be a little more fair to FB, the original series wasn't really that much of an ensemble either, because the stories were always centered around Harry. Unfortunately for FB, the movies won't work if they tried to focus on Newt, as much as I like him as a character. But yeah. It's actually kind of funny because, for a while, DC was arguably doing a lot better than Marvel... The difference good directors and writers can make is astonishing.

That makes sense. How was the Wasp handled? I heard that they say she and Ant-Man are equals, buut I have my doubts.
I was absolutely waiting for a Sherlock joke and midly disappointed when I didn't get one.
Yeah, the cartoons are so good. I am always and forever be a Batman The Animated Series fan, and I never get tired of rereading the BTAS comics. (Great fan of Batman Beyond, too) To be fair to Marvel, I really like the animated Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and that new Marvel Rising looks hella interesting (hope they do lots of things with that)
