i still don't understand why he is super strong when he shrinks... did pym have this power in the comics?
I believe so. Or maybe that was Atom Ant? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When he shrinks to ant size, he retains full size human strength. So, punch delivered by the half-inch high Ant-Man feels like the blow of a normal-sized man.
This has always confused me a little. Let's say Ant-Man (or the Atom from DC since their power works the same way I've gathered) shrink down to their ant size and punch a dude in the face. By shrinking down, doesn't his fist also shrink down? Of course it does. So doesn't it stand to reason that, by shrinking and THEN punching someone in the face his tiny fist is more likely to punch THROUGH the cheek being punched than actually deliver the blow like it would normally happen at normal size? And if his punch breaks the skin rather than striking a massive blow to it....isn't that more like a sting from an insect than a punch from a man?
I'm not certain ANY of that made sense. Basically what I'm saying is that, is a teeny tiny fist hitting a full sized face at full sized power more likely to have the impact of a full sized fist hitting a full sized face? Or is it more likely to result in a puncture...like a sting from an insect?
Relax. It's a comic book.
Ok. From now on I'll question nothing I read and just take it all at face value. No extraneous comments will henceforth be uttered by me about ANY of the material I encounter in this medium. I also forbid others from thinking outside the box or discussing the physics or real world implications of any of these concepts from this medium.
Cause it's comics.
It irritates the CRAP out of me when people tell me "it's just comics" or "it's a comic book". If you just read these stories on face value, GREAT. Good for you. But if I feel like asking questions, let me. You'll note that NOWHERE in what I said that I'd be avoiding the movie or the character overall for this confusion. IN FACT, that's all I said, was that it merely confused me.
But the notion that I should "relax" because it's "just a comic book"? May as well shut the whole damn forum down if we're not allowed to delve a little deeper than whats on the surface.
I GET that if I were CRITICIZING the movie/comics based on this, then yeah, "relax". But I'm just ASKING A QUESTION.
Jesus, dude... it was a joke. It's the kind of thing I have to say to MYSELF whenever I go down the rabbit hole of how does Superman lift a car by its bumper, or how does Spider-Man swing from one end of the city to the other just by shooting webs at buildings. No insult intended...
But after reading this post, I think maybe you SHOULD relax.
I hadn't seen the full length trailer before going to Age of Ultron so I was excited to see how much better this movie looks than what I saw in the teaser. The toy train "crash" got a huge laugh from the audience..I think it'll be a huge hit.
I'm anticipating this will be a big gotg sized hit. Especially amongst kids. The shrinking premise has always greatly appealed to kids ands it's been a long time since its been used. And this'll be the first with good modern technology / effects. No way it fails imo but i predict it'll be huge.
Word is that Paul Rudd is shooting scenes for Captain America 3
Yup. He's been confirmed to be in the flick since last week. Uncertain to what extent, but there's been talk of a highly cameoed funeral scene filming this week in Atlanta. My guess is either Steve or Peggy.

I think it'll be CA. I'm actually predicting more superhero deaths between now and Infinity War. I have a feeling the gems..uh, stones..will end up in the possession of a hero at one point who will use them to bring characters back from the dead.
Ugh. I watched AoS on Hulu and they showed this every commercial break. Which still wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't been a 2 hour finale. I was able to quote it word for word by the end.

I would have rather seen this than the commercials for fibromyalgia meds they kept showing me.

Or the Mt Dew Kickstart energy drink one.. The dog looking at the camera while it humps away is freaky... And hilarious..

The entire marketing department deserves a raise on this one. From the ant-sized teaser trailer release, the miniature billboards and now these posters, I think they've nailed a tone that makes me want to see if the movie lives up to.

Turns out that Edgar Wright had actually written a post-credits scene for Age of Ultron but when the studio and Wright parted ways, the scene was scrapped. Makes sense now why Whedon didn't put one in Age of Ultron after all. It likely wasn't just to change the status quo.
Actress Evangeline Lilly is quoted as saying that
"if (Marvel) had created Edgar’s incredible vision -- which would have been, like, classic comic book -- it would have been such a riot to film (and) it would have been so much fun to watch, but it wouldn’t have fit in the Marvel Universe. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb, no matter how good it was. It just would have taken you away from this cohesive universe they’re trying to create."

You've got to admit, the marketing for this movie has been clever, sometimes even hilarious.
Let's just hope that if they do a sequel it's not called "Giant-Man" because I'm afraid they might blot out the sun.
But after reading this post, I think maybe you SHOULD relax.

Extended TV spot last seen during AoS
It creates an association and makes light of it at the same time.
Somebody deserves a raise.
Is it too late to change the name?
