"Ant-Man": The "gorgeous" turn of the thieves industry

The word "hero" gives ordinary people a chance to go down in history. Those "heroes" who dream of saving the world, stand at a high place, and protect the happiness of mankind are slapped in the face by the cruelty of reality. You know, how can there be so many world-destroying madmen in this world who happen to let the "hero" disappear? The world is like a stubborn old man who always uses various educational methods to warn human beings to face reality. Even so, no one can really deprive human beings of their right to dream. The Marvel Universe has weaved a web of superheroes for humanity all over the world. From Iron Man to Hulk, to Thor and Captain America, every superhero who has put on the big screen has a good ability to attract money. People inside and outside the theater are stingy with a few coins in their pockets for a sweet dream? Especially after Marvel designed the "Golden Alliance", the "superhero dream" triggered by it agitated people's minds that were difficult to calm down.
It's not easy to stand out from the 8,000+ Marvel superheroes. As the end of Marvel's second phase, "Ant-Man", in addition to opening the "Civil War" ("Captain America III") curtain, there is also the core meaning of Ant-Man's civilian identity. Ant-Man Scott, who was born as a thief and is middle-aged, coupled with divorce and imprisonment, is destined to be the negative teaching material for a failed life. Being able to become the apprentice of the first generation of Ant-Man Pym, the film did not reveal too much (this also shows that the details of the script are not perfect), but for Ant-Man Scott, this rare opportunity in life is more dependent on Luck made it happen. The reason why I say this is because the talent of the Snitch on Scott is really difficult to compare with many superheroes in Marvel. However, as a movie project of Marvel, the launch of Ant-Man and the reunification of the alliance at the end probably depends on the civilian setting of Ant-Man. This kind of down-to-earth identity can achieve a hero image without standing at a high place, and is closer to the hearts of the people. The direction, perhaps this is the reason why "Ant-Man" is not "Ant-Man". However, Ant-Man Scott's mediocre and uninteresting life pattern, the special ability to switch back and forth between macro and micro, whether the story is interesting, whether the audience buys it or not, depends on Marvel's fortune.
To be honest, under the strong attack of the mature film industry, Marvel's industrialization layout is understandable, which is also the only way to make the market bigger and stronger. But how do you choose to manage your superheroes? Marvel chose the most unwise way, hoping to control the general pattern of the universe by intervening in the creation of the script, which also led many directors to make this type of film the last thing they wanted. Of course, "Ant-Man" also failed to escape the fate of being played and applauded by Marvel. Edgar Wright started writing the plot outline of "Ant-Man" in 2003, and parted ways with Marvel in the spring of 2014. For more than 10 years, the director still failed to beat Marvel. The intertwined story lines of the original first-generation Ant-Man Pym and the second-generation Ant-Man Scott were integrated into the one-way development idea of ​​the second-generation Ant-Man Scott by Marvel. This adaptation also fully demonstrates Marvel's eagerness for quick success. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that the easter eggs in "Ant-Man" are fully prepared for "Captain America III" and "Reunion III". Just thinking about how to integrate Ant-Man into the Marvel universe, and lost the independence of Ant-Man, the superhero. To be honest, for the industrial layout of Marvel movies, at the expense of Ant-Man's unique personality, it is better to let Ant-Man return to the thieves industry, perhaps this anti-heroism is more worth pondering.
Marvel's mature film industry does not know how to get rid of Chinese films for decades. Although in China, pancakes can be heroes, but Chinese directors are rarely interfered by the layout of the film industry. From this point of view, it may be another luck to be able to retain the independent creative rights of the director and screenwriter. This kind of completely abandoning the artistic quality of the film and pointing a gun at the director for filming can only make the final "League of Legends" only a pot of boiled gruel. Marvel's film industry layout seems to be mature and stable, but the loose sand layout of "Reunion II" has shown that a film cannot take into account all the superhero characters. Can the new second-generation Ant-Man Scott be in the It is still unknown if it has its own place in the reunion.
Hopefully, the previous sweet dream will not be awakened by the nightmare in the end.

    Hank Pym: Maggie was right about you.

    Scott Lang: How do you know about...

    Hank Pym: No wonder she's trying to keep you away from Cassie. The moment things get hard, you turn right back to crime. The way I see it, you have a choice. You can either spend the rest of your life in prison, or go back to your cell and await further instructions.

    Scott Lang: I don't understand.

    Hank Pym: No, I don't expect you to. But you don't have many options right now, and quite frankly, neither do I. Why do you think I let you steal that suit in the first place?
