I'm curious how the The Cure/Thomas the Tank Engine gags went with US audiences.
Being an Australian, I was in hysterics throughout the final act (plus the ping pong bug zapper).

My crowd in Louisiana love it. Especially the ping pong.
Oh, man, our crowd ate it all up. Ping pong paddle, Thomas the Tank Engine, Luis's overly enthusiastic storytelling technique, all of it.
I think the emotional beats were a bit light (or perhaps just too brief), but damn if every actor in this movie didn't sell it.
I wish Avon Barksdale hadn't been wasted on a throwaway cop character, but he sold it too with "dog" bit.

What a fun movie. Rudd was great. Everyone did great. Pena was hilarious.
The de-aging on Douglas at the beginning was amazing. The best I've seen. Knowing that scene wasn't filmed in 1989 was the only thing that convinced me that that some de-aging was done. It was really cool.
Great tie-in with the new Avengers facility. Great miniature FX. Great humor.
Another win for Marvel.

It doesn't look like he was caught at all. He seemed to be in pain, he wasn't resisting Cap or Falcon approaching, and the only things they talk about seem technical in nature - "Should we call Tony?" "No, he won't believe us." "I know a guy."
Falcon is clearly referring to how Scott managed to shrink and get into his suit to fuck it up. I think they're trying to help Bucky, but since the Civil War already started, they're running out of options.
It'll probably make more sense in the actual movie.

I don't think calling tony would be an option if Civil War has begun. While the scene was cool it didn't make a lick of sense.

That's why it wasn't an option.

I think the scene was more a setup for Ant-Man to be in Civil War and also to eventually become an Avenger...
Could be a million scenarios. Could be a fight, they trap Bucky in the vice then, while trapped, comes around to the good side.. Could be anything. The most obvious thing is that the scene was at least shot for Civil War given the aspect ratio change to 2.35.1. Gonna be a helluva movie.
Tardigrade sighting when Scott was starting to go sub-atomic!
I noticed this too! I gave a presentation on the little buggers a few years ago. Lovely touch!
On topic: I just came back from watching this. I was very satisfied, much more than Age of Ultron. The humour was there, the pacing wasn't too bad, and the plot was suitable.
I miss generic businessman who was shrunk and imploded however.
Marvel pls.
Luis needs to get a job working for Stark/The Avengers or something just as an excuse to keep him around. Plus a great Infinity War cameo when some crazy shit is going down just so we can see his reaction to the crazy shit going down.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Eh I still stand by that Luis is annoying outside of the "tips" scenes. Too much longwinded and such.
It can be whatever they come up with. Just a loose end. They even named the guy after some minor SHIELD character in the comics: http://marvel.wikia.com/Mitch_Carson_(Earth-616)

I think they just wanted a army of Antman. Nothing from the comics from what I can recall.
Comics Wasp could also shoot bio-electricity
The Wasp flashback scene is very disappointing in design because it's literally Ant-Man w/ Boob Armor. The prototype Wasp suit in the mid-credits scene looks pretty ace though. Lots of potential!
I audibly shouted, "Oh no!" when Antony got shot.
Also, people talk about what the movie could have been with Wright still on board (I wonder as well, as a big Wright fan myself) but after reading what Wright and Cornish had and what was added later, I think people should wonder what the film could have been with Reed, McKay, and Rudd all given more time.

Well I don't think Falcon was in combat gear so I think they either restrained Bucky or he came to them for help. They need Ant-Man possibly to go into the bionic arm to fix it. Bucky's arm looks like it's in some clamp so something is going on with him.
Stark seems to be pro-government and won't do much internationally without prior authorization, a change from normal.

I have t read about the differences between the final and Wright versions of the film. Was a lot changed?

Both post credits scenes on the house! Potato quality but still not too bad! Quote for link.

To be fair, Retro Wasp shared Hank's colors.
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-07-17/ant-man-director-explains-the-differences-from-edgar-wright-version
There were quite a few (welcome) changes to the original drafts.
-Janet wasn't in the original drafts
-Hope's character arc was developed some as well as Pym's
-3rd act in Cassie's bedroom was Wright/Cornish's idea
-Quantum Realm was added by McKay/Reed
-Falcon meeting up was an idea by McKay and Rudd
-More heist stuff like breaking into the safe and the thumb scanner was added by McKay and Reed
-The tip montage by Luis was McKay/Reed
-Wright/Cornish started with the heist premise for the film and the Pym/Lang mentor/pupil relationship based on the comics
Here's another interview going into a little more detail on some of the same points
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/ant-man/news/?a=122953
We might not know what didn't make the cut from the original draft, but it seems a lot of what is in the movie now that really works, Reed/McKay/Rudd had hands in developing.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I still find it hard to swallow the fact the entire Avengers facility can be infiltrated by Ant-Man so easily. Its only his what, first or second mission here.
It was a storage site iirc, not the same exact facility we saw at the end of AoU. Too small and no hanger.
So some good and some bad. Sounds fairly normal. The Cassie bedroom stuff was obviously Wright's ideas although again I'm wondering if he storyboarded that fight.
I do wonder if the original was leaner or if the 'big' break-in at Pym Tech was longer/more elaborate.

Because the old suit was literally that, plus some wings. I get the feeling it was more just a duplicate of the ant-man tech, with the new suit to be a built for the wasp one.

alright, that also kinda explains why only Falcon was there then.

That was pretty enjoyable, better then Age of Ultron, probably my 3rd favorite Marvel movie after Guardians and Winter Soldier. This has probably been asked 1,000 times but was there a scene after the one with Hope becoming Wasp in the credits? Had to piss super bad
Also kind of surprised they are bringing back Hydra again.

Pretty sure it was the same facility. The 'old Stark storage unit' was located in upstate New York, same as the New Avenger's Facility.
Falcon was just the only one home.
Marvel has a whole team of storyboarders doing all the action for all their films, so I think most of it would have been in some complete state by the time Reed came onboard, but Wright probably didn't storyboard them himself. Maybe he supervised them though. I'm sure there were tons of revisions after Reed joined too.
Yes there's a scene at the very end, but if you missed it you'll see it again next year, it's a short clip cut out of Civil War.
Interestingly enough, it looks like at least one of those guys was actually supposed to be a Ten Rings buyer. Unless they officially work for Hydra now.

Yes. there is another short scene lifted from the upcoming Civil war movie
Hydra was already established to be resurrected at the last episode of Agents of Shield Season 2 (which aired after Age of Ultron)

Great stuff, I can't really complain about anything they added. Most if not all of it worked pretty well for me.
Yea it's just that some of the fights were edited and staged better like the 'Trial by Water' and the Cassie bedroom fight compared to stuff like the action initially inside the Yellowjacket safe room. With how insanely long this film was in preproduction, I imagine Wright had a big influence on some of the storyboarding.

Could be true but probably bullshit. It would be awesome if marvel wants to be that weird.

Hydra never left. It's been crippled by the Agents of Shield crew, and the avengers, but it's still a thing at the time of the ant-man film.
