I thought ant man was an awesome flick because it kept the true spirit of a monthly superhero comic book alive. It told a story that was not earth-shattering, aliens/gods will destroy all of existence. It was awesome because of that. I hate that whole "the world is threatened by a huge insurmountable monster" nonsense that, in the comics, happened maybe once a year, if that. In the films, every hero seems described in mythic status. that is bullshit. only superman is a mythic hero. batman is a HUMAN being with no powers. The Flash is a scientist who got powers to be very fast. aquaman is a merman. the xmen are mutations, some cool, some not. the movies all try to posit each and every superhero as some sort of demigod entity, when they are NOT.
of all the recent DC/Marvel films, the ones that most got the character right were antman, dr. strange, OG Iron Man.
