GOTG concept art is more exciting than the Man of Steel trailer. DC Comics am cry.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think its awesome. I just can't believe they're doing it. I mean, they must be really confident in their brand if they're going to try and make a blockbuster out of a movie titled "Ant-Man"

None do as far as I know, but those things do look like the crests and they can take all sorts of creative license in a new medium.

DC is so fucked
dude they're doing this:
they're gone off the deep end. Comic books are coming to life man, the day has come, and it's all thanks to WHEDON AWH YEAH
Put some Avengers references in the trailer and you're gold. Unless all the movies leading up to it suck of course.
I'm shedding tears of joy at this picture. The only thing that could make this shot better is Warlock, Phyla and Moondragon. Non-emo Martyr Phyla.
How cool would it be if in the movie they did the confessionals.
I'm sure it's not going to do the whole Iron Man business, they've got Edgar Wright doing it, it's probably going to be a lot smaller in scale and not released in the prime summer months. It's going to be a very different kind of superhero movie, much like GOTG.
It's an exciting time for Marvel, though, all these never before done properties getting off the ground, less mainstream superheros and teams.
I really hope they include Wasp in this one.
Face it Tiger..

Marvel doing well doesnt hurt DC. It isnt an either or thing.

You know, now that Thor is on Netflix I'm going to re-watch it and see if my impressions from the first time (that it felt small in scope and was paced poorly) have changed.

I don't see why they wouldn't. They don't even have to give her powers in it, just have her as Janet Van Dyne at the least. Especially given her surge in popularity since Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they'd be fool to not include her.

And so this is the part that Marvel does well - the movies.
DC has better animated shit.
This too, I suppose. Though I imagine she won't be Wasp until late.

Captain America is probably one of the hokiest names ever if one were not used to it through years of comics/TV/movies. It's all about the marketing and how the film presents itself to the moviegoing public.
Yeah, they're obviously feeling very secure after The Avengers and taking some chances on smaller films to release outside of the main summer window. I love it.
It's more of a question about how Kevin Feige pulled this off. Marvel has been EXTREMELY lucky and spot on with every single piece of casting and crew in all of the Marvel Studios films.
People are gonna remember this shit, they're just absolutely killing it. They managed to find the sweet spot in wich you please comic book fans while at the same time making the most succesfull movies ever appealing to mass audiences. It's an unbelievably hard thing to do considering the process, budget, and executives you need to go through for making a film.
Im not surprised at DC's failure, im surprised (and delighted) at Marvel's success.

I get like a Metroid Prime Trilogy vibe from that GoTG image (Super Metroid theme started running through my head immediatly) which is fucking awsome
That's what I don't get, Warner has owned DC for how many years, thirty? Yet, they don't seem to know what to do with them movie wise aside from Batman.

Man I remember a few years ago when people kept saying stupid shit like "Captain America is the worst superhero, all he has is a shield? So he just takes punches?" and then were shut up by First Avenger.
Then "lol what is Black Widow gonna do in an alien invasion? Distract the aliens with her body?" and "Hawkeye? He's not even a superhero, he's just a guy with a bow." and then were shut up by Avengers.
Now I can't wait for the idiots saying "Ant-Man, what kind of superhero is that? He's an ant? He can shrink, woah I'm so scared." to be shut up by Ant-Man.

Oh yeah, what's amazing to me about the last few years of Marvel movies is the overall quality level. I mean, there are a fair number of them that were just good but I don't think I'd call a single one actually bad.

I guess there gonna go with Hank Pym and not that crazy one for the Ant Man movie
Fixed.
Wendall is the superior Quasar, and Nova is always necessary.
I like Nova and Wendell, but they are not Guardians.
I think Phyla had potential, it was clear they were going to do something with her from Conquest but then they just kind of drove her down into the ground and that was a shame. It would be interesting to see if they had her and Moondragon in the film if they would have the balls to explore their relationship. It was great realistic relationship not pushing it unnaturally in peoples faces in a yea this is normal manner.
plus they really need more female representation in these Marvel movies and this would be a great start. Gamora is just really, dry.

Well they have Batman, and they have Superman coming out after that and..........
In the animated department they do have a better grip on things mostly. More animated movies and stuff like Batman The Animated Series and Beyond remain excellent and it helps they don't have someone like Jeph Loeb calling the shots and making bizarre decisions.
Indeed. By all rights, Captain America shouldn't work, it should just be seen as stupid, but thanks to its presentation, a guy dressed in the US flag named Captain America is an awesome character and one universally respected by fans.
Superhero movies get a lot of slack when it comes to names. No need to worry about that.

Batman is over after last week (lets face it odds are the inevitable next batman movie is either going to be mediocre or a return to schumacher era stupidity) and odds are stacking against Superman.
From the director of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (and The World's End by the time Ant-Man is happening).

Shouldn't be hard, especially considering it's going to get great WoM/reviews.
Im surprised we arent getting Rocket Raccoon voice actor suggestions from GAF yet
fuck it, I want motion capture. I want a hollywood actor playing a raccoon. Same with Groot.
Danny Devito
That sounds like a sure way to make the general public avoid it at all costs.

Is yakof smirnoff still alive? They should get him for Cosmo.

After Avengers, they could put out a Squirrel Girl movie or a ROM Spaceknight movie or even a fucking Man-Thing movie and it would make mad paper.

While you might think it sounds like a joke, any good actor with a sense of humour would be clambering to play a raccoon. How many times can you say you've played a raccoon with massive guns?

I know, hence my ".............." They don't seem to have anything lined up past Man of Steel and even then I'm not to excited for that one either.
Avengers broke the cheese ceiling. Ant-Man is not a big deal.
Yeah it is just incredibly odd, Marvel and DC are polar opposites in that respect. With Marvel I'm entirely negative about the direction they are going in and lamenting that they always cancel their best shows, meanwhile DC has made some of my favorite animated series/movies ever (Batman: TAS, Justice League/Unlimited, Batman: Under the Red Hood) while continuing good TV series. (Young Justice)
"Next Chapter in Marvel Films"
Conversely, with Disney backing them up, Marvel Studios is gonna be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.

I dont think it sounds like a joke I think it sounds fucking awesome! people are gonna be lining up
Don't forget the "gritty, mature" Justice League script they supposedly have. Lol.
