I don't know anything about Pym Particles.
So it isn't just real world physics (i.e. what makes ants relatively strong),
but there is also a sci-fi element, which gives him extra powers?
I wonder how fast an ant-sized man could run, and how high he could jump.
I guess the tricks like his gymnastics on pistols are probably impossible, if one couldn't exploit being able to shift between 2 sizes, which adds to the speed.
My knowledge of real physics in this context probably ends at the square/cubic law.
The physics don't work, so it's best not to think about them. His mass stays the same when he shrinks, so when he jumps on the gun it should drop to the floor, but it doesn't. He should squash an ant when trying to ride it, but he doesn't. He can't be both light as a feather and heavy enough to knock somebody out.
Because he can still punch with the force of a 200 pound man while that small. Yet his mass is still somehow low enough to not squash a bug? It's just not real physics.
People seriously thought this was going to flop.

Ants do run pretty damn fast, so I wouldn't be surprised. Plus they're capable of lifting items much bigger than they are.
My crow thread will be glorious.
I'm looking forward to Marvel threads in about 2 years time when everyone talks about what a safe bet Ant-Man was for Marvel to make and how everyone knew about Ant-Man.
So should I fire up the grill?

I don't know man. Guardians of the Galaxy was such a bomb. No way a bunch of no-name characters were going to earn much. Marvel's first bomb.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch

I were gonna book my tickets today but got an error. Oh well, trying again tomorrow.
And it is surprising me, that almost nobody have booked tickets for the premiere at the biggest cinema in my country. There's like 10 booked seats in a cinema with a thousand seats.
I'm excited though!

Same here, I was actually able to get the good seats this time. Then again, the same happened with Guardians until the reviews started to come in.
I'm posting the OT in about a week. In typical MCU-GAF fashion, it's that time to finally decide on thread names.
I'm really partial to this by Broken Joystick:
Marvel's Ant-Man | OT | Is It Too Late To Change The Name?

Go for it.
Do it. Good lines.
I'm still really fond of mine! I think it's really clever!

Too late, I went on Facebook and suddenly, first thing was
Falcon's
Seriously, why reveal that?

I really wish this movie to be succesful. At first, I was skeptical but the hype is growing with me.
Because it's not actually a big deal.

Have to resist clips this time. Marvel released way too many with Age of Ultron and I felt like I had seen a third of the movie before I even walked into the theatre.
I'm not gonna watch anymore. All of the TV spots, info, trailers etc kind of killed the hype for Age of Ultron to me, especially the spoilers.
I gotta stay away from anything Ant-Man for just 16 days more. And I hate that I already know about some of the surprises.
The hype is kind of gone with this one as well, which is weird. As I have been hyped about Ant-Man for months, but the closer we get to the premiere, the less hyped I get.
I'm still looking forward to seeing it in the cinema though.

Same, I don't want anything else spoiled.

In depth interview with Peyton Reed. There are SPOILERS about the some of the film's plot, so be warned.
Basically the whole heist plot line and the Hank Pym / Scott Lang mentor relation was all Edgar Wright, while Reed's major contribution is

That's awesome.
Which most everyone would label a flop in a post-Avengers MCU
No. Why do you think so?
Each movie stands on its own, and this an unproven sub-franchise, as was GotG.
Because if people can label a 450mil domestic/1.4 billion WW AoU a disappointment, you can bet Ant Man doing a "measly" 175mil dom/ 370mil WW like First Avenger would get it crucified. I'm expecting roughly 400-450 WW myself and would find that to be very respectable.
