Nowhere to put "Ant-Man 2"

After watching the FBI warning spoiler on the first floor, I really want to laugh out of the sky, but in my opinion, the spoiler is still a bit lengthy. Apart from all kinds of detailed explanations, the storyline of "Ant-Man 2" is actually just intertwined. The three lines of the main line: the main line of Hope to save the mother and the two branch lines formed by the ghost obstruction and Birch’s horizontal kick. There is nothing special other than that. Of course, this is only the plot level-you can To say that this kind of plot is anti-routine, because compared to other movies produced by Marvel, this kind of storyline is a bit too calm.

First of all, although the story is composed of three lines, it has only one meaning in the final analysis, that is, the Ant-Man combination rescues the first-generation Wasp. The remaining two branches are just plot conflicts arranged in the process. When it comes to conflicts, Marvel’s excellent movies have long been demonstrated, such as the Mandarin (Fog) in "Iron Man 3", S.H.I. All of Ultron has created extremely exciting plot contradictions, but in "Ant-Man 2", the conflict of the story seems too thin. The main villain of the story, Ghost and Goliath, the two villains, whose declarations are simple and vulgar, are also somewhat superficial. For example, the character of the ghost girl "the grumpy old lady kills mom online" suddenly changes in the end. For a good girl who is sensible, Goliath has become purely a foreshadowing of the plot, and has not further shaped this classic Marvel character. Of course, it makes sense to do so out of cinematic considerations, but Goliath belongs to the Marvel comics. I compare The character I like, being smashed to death by a fake Thor in "Civil War", to be honest, makes me very sad. Seeing this character in the movie like a piece of white paper has no three-dimensionality at all, I am always a little disappointed in my heart. As for the second-rate villain Burch (Burch's Chinese name is very spiritual), it goes without saying. Its main purpose is to force Ant-Man's mother-in-law to develop business cooperation with him... In short, at the end of the story, the villains are all safe. The finale is extremely reunited. Except for seeing the new character of the first generation Wasp, the whole story seems to have never happened. After watching the movie, you will find that the whole story is so simple that you can’t remember it, only with Thanos. The easter eggs with the connected snap fingers make a slight impression.

Of course, this is not to say that the plot arrangement is unreasonable, because the position of "Ant-Man 2" in the Marvel movie universe is very embarrassing. "Captain Marvel" happened in the past with the background of the story and superpowers. It is even more difficult to grasp the scale. On this basis, it is a safe choice to make a family-style sketch movie. Moreover, the filming of the movie is also very interesting, which somewhat conceals the weakness of the plot. Take the emotional scene between Scott and Hupu as an example, the film still continues the style of the upper part. A strange chemical reaction between Scrap Scott and the violent Hupu has further caused people to be involved in the emotional scene between the two. The aunt keeps laughing throughout the plot. The film has a very deep portrayal of the Wasp. The strong woman is still the little girl playing hide-and-seek with her mother.

Ant-Man and the Wasp gradually came to a tacit understanding

In the laboratory, Scott was taken to the upper body of the first-generation Wasp by his mother-in-law through quantum entanglement. The emotional drama with Pim's slightly philosophical emotions is equally novel and interesting. Talking Louis is also very compelling. He has contributed to the rap technique with a sense of picture in the film. Moreover, "This song is sent directly without mixing", and the Indian magic drug on his body cannot prevent his talk attribute. In addition to the characters, the scheduling and scenes in the movie have also improved compared to the first one. I don’t know if it’s because the boss is Disney. Marvel’s movies have a wild imagination from beginning to end. Take this movie. Said, the tiger pounced on the tip of the knife to deal with the enemy, Scott's truck skateboard and Hello Kitty fairy wand grenade, high-rise buildings on the ground...

In terms of setting, the first thing to bear is the beautiful quantum world. If the beauty of "Doctor Strange" is symmetrical, then the quantum world in "Ant-Man 2" has a sense of desolation and chaos. In addition, , The water bear insects that the first generation of Ant-Man Dr. Pim saw during the transition period into the quantum realm were also very amazing.

However, we can see that the role of each Ant-Man independent film seems to be the continuation and transition of Marvel’s staged movies, and Ant-Man, as the veteran of the Avengers in the comics, has its attributes and characteristics in Austria. The creation, the civil war, and the various Marvel events of Thanos are buried, and even become a foil to a certain extent, such as this appetizer-like "Reunion 4" cutscene. As a result, Ant-Man’s positioning has been blurred. Of course, it is understandable to do so in the strategic layout of the movie. However, Ant-Man’s heroic attributes are difficult to highlight, especially in the second part, and Marvel’s others. Compared with the heroes, it seems that the pattern is not enough. But through the various foreshadowings in the quantum realm, we can see that Ant-Man’s role in the entire Avengers is gradually emerging, especially the quantum entanglement skills unlocked by his mother-in-law after decades of soaking in the quantum realm. In my opinion, it should be very important. In addition, , Paul Luther and Mr. Tao’s "Reunion 4" set shots can be said to be a real hammer of great power in the quantum field. Hope that through these operations, the positioning of "Ant-Man" can be made clear, so that Ant-Man can live long and prosper somewhere.

The daughter of Ant-Man is equally cute

Ps: That's the way Walton Griggins plays. Whether it’s "The Rescue Jiang Ge", "The Hateful Eight" or this "Ant-Man 2", I think all I see are the same person. Maybe this is the true color to play~ But I really don’t hate this kind of role—the stubborn aura, the little embellished appearance, the awkwardness and evil when laughing, and the slow Southern American accent, like Coming from Richmond in 1861.
