New work from Marvel's Assembly Line Factory

The power based on love is stronger, and the one based on selfishness is like a paper tiger.
This is why, in the long history, the good always prevailed over the bad.
And even the villains always like to do shameful things with the slogans of justice compiled.
Ant-Man appeared as a decent figure, preventing the world situation from spiraling out of control.
The reason for becoming a hero in the first place is also very simple, in order to have the right to visit his daughter.
Acting for the purpose of self is called lust.
Doing things for the benefit of others is love.
Only love can inspire potential and bring infinite possibilities.

Marvel’s history of heroes
As one of the heroes of the Marvel series, Ant-Man came out as the protagonist of the movie version, which can be described as twists and turns. Before the success of Spider-Man, Iron Man and other single hero films, Ant-Man, which appeared at this point in time, failed to take advantage of the brilliance of its predecessors, the enthusiasm of the audience was not high, and the box office was not satisfactory.
Had Ant-Man launched a few years earlier, it would have been the exact opposite. Although the hero characters produced by Marvel using the same model are constantly innovating, they will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue in decades. To awaken people's enthusiasm, perhaps only by subverting the previous story structure and creating charismatic heroes. In Marvel's next production plan, there are also different single-hero films such as Gambit and Doctor Strange. I wonder if it will bring some changes to hero films.
Another reason for Ant-Man's cold may also come from the Avengers. When many heroes appeared in one movie, it caused a wave of craze, but also had an impact on the way out of single-hero movies. Just like having eaten a buffet, it is difficult to think that the same dish alone will be delicious. However, there are too many heroes in the series of Marvel, and there are more than three or two different hero groups. It seems that there are still many buffets to eat.

Ant-Man of Heroes
The film mainly tells the story of the second-generation Ant-Man, whose journey of becoming a hero is the same as that of other predecessors, encountering—the world needs—to fight for it. Thinking of the Ultraman series of the Japanese comics I watched when I was a child, the only difference in each episode is that the appearance and skills of the monsters have changed, and the others are repeated like an assembly line. Of course I thought it was good-looking when I was a child, but with age changes and more knowledge, it is inevitable that it will feel boring. Ant-Man, as a member of the Marvel series, is also taking this path.
Ant-Man is similar to Iron Man, in that he needs to wear specific costumes to have heroic abilities. Look at other heroes, like the Hulk, and the Doctor Strange that will appear in the future, all with hard technology colors. Different from the Chinese hero Xuan Youxuan's life experience, the American ones are clearly articulated and extremely predictable. Assuming that the technology in the future has developed to a certain level, American heroes seem to be able to become reality, but Chinese heroes really want to see their beauty only by going back to the past through a time machine.
The characteristic of Ant-Man is that it has the ability to freely grow and shrink. The film also shows the different types of ants and the disordered passages that Ant-Man meets in the underground world, which is better than the content of the film itself. Under the magnificent world, the microscopic world created by microscopic life seems to come from another planet. When Ant-Man continues to shrink to the molecular and smaller level, it is another scene, but unfortunately it is not shown too much in the film. There is a Buddhist saying, one flower is one world, the world of ants is lower than that of human beings, but it is also very interesting.

The whole movie watching is affected by the old-fashioned plot, and the mood is calm and even drowsy. I hope that Marvel's next film, in addition to the technical look and feel, can also have some novel changes in the plot. Films produced in a pattern have no long-term vitality.

    Michael Pena was the surprise! After incorporating a lot of comedy elements, it is very entertaining. Even in the action, try to show it in a comedy way, at least it looks good. The whole movie is also different from regular superhero movies, but starts from an early age and returns to saving the family. The protagonist does not have a major task to save the world, just for the family and for the daughter. In addition, I am still very curious about how Edgar Wright will direct this film.

    It's pretty good-looking, and the imagination is quite rich, especially the last part of the bridge into the multidimensional space, which is quite the author's vision, which is reminiscent of the second half of the 2001 Space Odyssey. However, I think this film is fortunate in the setting of "the country of adults". The country of adults and the country of small people are the childhood dreams of many people.
