Thirty years later, the old Ant-Man Hank Pym finally met his long-lost wife, Janet van Dyne, the old wasp. It's just... I especially want to know why she can still paint eyeshadow after being trapped in the quantum realm for so many years.
Of course, the debut of the first generation of Wasp can not be too shabby, but this is her screen debut 55 years after her birth. In 1963, Stan Lee and Jack Kobe teamed up to create this character. Don't underestimate the Wasp. In the original comics, she and the first generation of Ant-Man, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk are the five veterans who founded the "Avengers". There is nothing like Captain America at all. Even the name "Avengers" was given by the Wasp. At that time, they defeated Loki in a five-person team. Ant-Man felt that everyone's cooperation was infinite and proposed to form a team. But what's your name? The wife of the Wasp on the side chanted: "Can we afford an interesting and eye-catching name, such as the Avengers?" Everyone happily agreed, and the reunion was named.
However, in the MCU, the Wasp can only be a supporting role, until the approaching Infinity War was long overdue. Michael Douglas failed to let his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones take the role as he wished. Instead, he replaced it with the most classic generation of "catwoman" Michelle Pfeiffer, completing the transition from DC to Marvel. Field (Lawrence Fishburne in this film straddles DCEU and MCU). Pfeiffer was sexy and slim when he was young, but he was still in his sixties when he was starring in the film, but he was still graceful and vigorous.
"Ant-Man 2: The Wasp" continues the romantic comedy style of "Ant-Man" (for film reviews, see "Ant-Man: Save the World ", Scott Lang and Hank Pim's father The female kinship drama still occupies the main part of the film. And the Diaosi trio headed by Huayi Louis is not lacking in laughter. Michael Pena once again showed off a rap, but they have already washed their hands and started a serious company. There is no story of family reunion and reunion in MCU than "Ant-Man". Scott Lang not only gets along well with his ex-wife and his wife, but is also favored by future mother-in-law. The induction from the old wasp is not given to her husband or daughter, but to him. There is an old saying here: "Mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, and the more she sees her, the happier she sees." Don't even look at Pim's indifference to Scott, but to help save his wife, it must be a good time to spend a full moon with Hope.
In a film with such a keynote, the villain will not be evil. In the original Marvel comics, the ghost is a male and an opponent of Iron Man, which has nothing to do with Ant-Man. He does not have any superpowers himself, but he is a hacker and engineering genius with high IQ. He also invented a suit that can make himself and any objects he touched invisible or invisible (this villain’s setting is similar to Tony Star Gram is very good). But in the film, in addition to retaining the title of "ghost", the rest of the film almost came to a facelift. The gender has been changed to a girl, with a miserable life experience and suffering from the extremely unstable molecular structure of the body. It is excusable to behave in extremes. Fortunately, the two sides finally settled their suspicions, which is not common in MCUs.
The timeline of "Ant-Man 2" is between "Civil War" and "Infinite War", so don't watch this movie, it's gagging and talking about love. In fact, it shoulders the important mission of connecting the plot afterwards, such as Grandly introduced the concept of "quantum realm". The reason why Marvel movies walk between science fiction and fantasy is because some seemingly unscientific things will make you think it is a serious nonsense. The "quantum realm" is quite representative. .
In fact, MCU has played some bells and whistles in the "quantum realm". In comics, this microscopic world has always been called the "micro universe", and it first appeared in the story of Captain America. However, due to various reasons, the copyright of the "Micro Universe" film fell into the hands of Hasbro. Before the filming of "Ant-Man" started, Marvel, which had no copyright, referred to the suggestions of physicists and changed the name to "Quantum field". And once the concept of "quantum" is involved, the topical content suddenly becomes bigger. After all, this is a real science of reality. There are Planck, Heisenberg, Bohr, Pauli, Schrodinger, and Schrödinger in the background. Einstein and a large wave of renowned physicists.
It's just that you can't look at it with serious eyes. Obviously, the so-called Pim particle not only ignores the physical principles in the matter of "becoming bigger and smaller," but also according to the conservation of mass, the density will inevitably change when the volume changes. If this is the case, then the huge Ant-Man will be a joke (will float like a balloon), and the extremely reduced Ant-Man will be a disaster (too dense and become a black hole). Of course, if you are too serious, you will lose. Perhaps the charm of comic works lies in the subtle difference between reality and fantasy. Less rigorous, imagination can be wild. It’s unclear what else the "Quantum Realm" can do in the future, but I have seen "Avengers 4: Endgame" and know that without Ant-Man returning from the Quantum Realm, there is no hope of a comeback. In this sense, this somewhat mediocre romantic comedy is really an indispensable key part.
