Small me

After watching Ant-Man, I suddenly felt that the so-called superhero should be so small.

Even if it is small, it has amazing power.
Power does not arise out of thin air, it is unpredictable.
These forces are the result of little effort, accumulation, and convergence.
Such a process is really touching.
It is simply a moving concerto of grassroots efforts step by step.

I like small things, maybe because I am small. I always admire those who are not so good at the beginning, but rely on their own efforts to change themselves and others.
In fact, apart from the inexplicable extraterrestrial power in comics, who is great in real life? We are just small, ordinary bodies, using our own thinking and actions to change our perhaps ineffective life bit by bit.

Ant-Man, so small, yet so flexible.
People always say that killing someone is like killing an ant.
In fact, it is really wrong to think so.
Yes, an ant is easy to kill, as long as you can find the target.
But if there are two, three, four, hundreds or thousands, it is really not easy to kill.
Maybe you were killed by yourself first.

The ants seem to live in the dark in the cave. They have worked hard all their lives, but they are just labor, but there is a solidarity in the ants that touches me. They want to use thousands of tiny shadows to despise the world. Because there are more of them, they have power. They understand the importance of being united, even though the vocabulary may not have been developed in their language.

As for human beings, there are countless words such as unity, right? Correspondingly, words like betrayal or selfishness are not difficult to find.

Let's talk about superheroes. It seems that Marvel or Marvel heroes who have been adapted into movies now have all kinds of strange reasons to fight and kill. But there are not many superheroes who fight because of a simple desire to gain the dependence and trust of their daughter, right? Scott is even selfless. He hopes that other people and other people's daughters can understand each other. He wants to defeat the bad guys, so it doesn't matter if he shrinks to the world of unpredictable tiny particles. The reason for his survival was so humble in the beginning that I felt sorry for him.

"Oh, is he the protagonist of this work? A great hero."

Although American dramas/movies are always full of scenes of divorce hoping to make up for children and break up with ex-wife, the relationship here makes me not at all. Repel. The daughter is not the clever ghost who wants to bring his parents together. The stepfather is not the selfish ghost who only runs for his life in the face of disasters and ignores his stepchildren, and the mother is not the one who always walks between the two men and is always the protagonist. The weird woman saved by the halo.

The motivation for this whole thing is so simple that it can't be simpler. A down-to-earth father hopes to show his not down-to-earth side to his daughter and a father who has lost his beloved wife. He hopes to get the support of his daughter who does not understand him and save the world by the way and carry forward a story about scientific ethics.

So, Ant-Man is now my favorite superhero.
