That really wasn't all that exciting and didn't hype me up for Ant Man.

 

[Beowulf28]

I wonder if this will end the Marvel winning streak.

 

[Cheat Code]

He's usually used in situations where stealth is needed. He can also become a giant, but I don't know if they're using that in the movies or not.

It's almost a guarantee that he become huge at some climactic point in the movie, in a somewhat similar way to when Godzilla

Spoiler

finally did the atomic breath

.

 

[Choomp]

I'm in, still salty about Edgar Wright though.

 

[rikichi]

Man, that looked wack as fuck

 

[The Outsider]

Yeah, first Guardians trailer was much better. Hooked on a Feeling really sold that trailer.

 

[rekameohs]

This is how it always is. People are underwhelmed by the teaser and then are hyped up when the longer trailer comes along.

No, this was just shit. The Star Wars 7 teaser, for instance, was fantastic at building hype. The Guardians of the Galaxy teaser was great, too, and I'm not even an MCU fan.

 

[hom3land]

Not that into comics.. Can someone explain, I thought hank prym was antman

 

[Aaron]

Reminds me of the Green Lantern movie.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I wonder if this will end the Marvel winning streak.

If Thor 2 couldn't...

 

[Oersted]

That was super underwhelming and I'm still looking forward to it, but I'm worried about what the general public thinks.

Why worried?

 

[Cheebo]

This is how it always is. People are underwhelmed by the teaser and then are hyped up when the longer trailer comes along.

People were hyped like crazy for the Winter Soldier and Guardians teasers. They were great teasers. This was godawful.

 

[Dalek]

I thought it looked good. Pretty low key for the most part, and focuses on "Scott Lang" and not Ant Man too much but the actual shrinking footage looks awesome. I believe!

 

[Pachimari]

Took some screen grabs:

 

[Escape Goat]

Looks good. I am hyped.

Man, that looked wack as fuck

What does this mean?

 

[Japanmanx3]

Still don't get the point but ok. After the surprise that was GotG, I won't judge anything Marvel has to offer until I see it.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I just don't get it. Why does he need to shrink down to the size of an ant? Where's the fun in that?

He needs to pull off a heist.

 

[blakep267]

Nothing about that looked interesting.

 

[MattyG]

A flying ant? Okay.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Flying ants are a real thing, and pretty common.

 

[Slayven]

Not that into comics.. Can someone explain, I thought hank prym was antman

He is, but Scott Lang steals the suit and becomes the second one.

 

[Blastoise]

Trailer reminded me of the Edward Norton hulk movie.

 

[The Boohbah Zone]

Weak teaser/trailer but I'm still pumped for the actual movie. They nailed the suit.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Not that into comics.. Can someone explain, I thought hank prym was antman

Ant-Man is a legacy character. Multiple people have been Ant-Man.

 

[The Omega Man]

Thanks to this, Thor movies won't be the lowest tier Marvel movies anymore.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder if this will end the Marvel winning streak.

Depends on whether you consider Thor 2 part of a "winning streak" or not.

It doesn't look likely that this will do worse than that, critically or commercially.

 

[sappyday]

Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy more so than gotg?

 

[Crud]

Reminds me of the Green Lantern movie.

That's fucked up lol.

 

[Maddocks]

It looks interesting but I'm not feeling it. Maybe because I'm not invested in the character or because I'm disappointing Edgar is not doing it(I know I know, get over it right) but he made Scott pilgrim come alive for me, so it would have been amazing to see what he would have done with it.

 

[Dalek]

Not that into comics.. Can someone explain, I thought hank prym was antman

Hank was the original Ant-Man and later passed the torch to Scott Lang. In this film, Michael Douglas is Pym.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Main character's only two lines are jokes and people say it's too serious?

Just like the Age of Ultron trailer, the first one is gonna be heavy on the drama, but it wasn't Batman serious.

 

[bananafactory]

The movie looks good and I'm sure it'll be great but I'm with the others who think there wasn't anything terribly exciting in there.

 

[A Human Becoming]

If Thor 2 couldn't...

Except Thor is a viking god. Ant-Man is...a man who shrinks to the size of an ant.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

I know some ants have wings, I just don't think about it.

 

[StoopKid]

I wonder if this will end the Marvel winning streak.

Antman crow thread is going to be amazing

 

[overcast]

That looks like a bland marvel movie. Like no identity.

 

[rikichi]

Looks good. I am hyped.




What does this mean?

Shut the fuck up, you heard what I said.

It looks wack as fuck.

 

[adamsappel]

Not a bad trailer, but I don't like how Douglas pronounces Ant-Man.

Looking good, Rudd!

 

[equippedwithtowel]

I am pretty sure Wright did not leave the project because of marketing vision....more like overall vision.

The marketing comment was trying to cover myself off from Marvel-gaf claiming the first teaser isn't necessarily representative.

I'm sure the rift ran deeper.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

This is how it always is. People are underwhelmed by the teaser and then are hyped up when the longer trailer comes along.

Yeah, but this one is REALLY bad. The worst so far.

Which is a shame, because I'm legitimately excited and this actually made me less so.

 

[Zebra]

Main character's only two lines are jokes and people say it's too serious?

The tone of the trailer speaks much more loudly than those two lines.

 

[Pappasman]

The Marvel movies have just looked so... bland. I'm so bored by their style and this looks the same. Even if you don't like his movies, at least Wright would have made something different.

 

[More_Badass]

Ill have to see more. So far Im "meh" about it

I can get behind a talking racoon. And a walking tree

But a guy riding an ant like a horse? I'm not saying the movie's going to be bad, because it looks fun and I'll probably see it, but that's just so stupid.

 

[jon bones]

I feel like the issue is that, if you look at the really successful marvel movies lately, they haven't felt like the dozens of origin stories that audiences sat through for years. The trailers for The Avengers, Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. moved away from that.

This looks straight up out of that origin story era, and it plays up to it more than it subverts it. I guess I just kind of expected them to subvert it at some point, which they almost did, but then didn't follow through.

you nailed it

 

[plasmawave]

I have a bad feeling about this one.

At least they acknowledged the stupid name.

 

[The Outsider]

I think we're eventually going to dig up this thread from the graveyard and find out who has to eat crow again.

Mind you, I'm not overly impressed with the trailer, but I feel pretty confident Marvel will deliver the goods again.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm still hopeful that this movie will deliver. I just need a second trailer that's more hype. I get that this is a teaser, but I need 'dat hype.

 

[Pachimari]

I find the whole family thing perspective interesting. Him having a daughter. None of the current superheroes have a child, so that could be something new. This is not about saving the world, this is about his family and him getting a second chance after being a criminal.

I'm very hopeful for Ant-Man.

 

[Dopus]

It looks awful. Not that I expected any different from a Marvel movie.

 

[Cheebo]

Antman crow thread is going to be amazing

Tell me, what about this so far makes you think that is likely? Extremely rushed production + terrible director + underwhelming teaser = surefire quality?

 

[Dead]

Looks about as good as an Ant-Man movie not directed by Edgar Wright could look

read: disappointing. Mildly at best perhaps.

 

[Big Baybee]

I'm already down but I can admit that trailer was underwhelming. Needed to see more of that Ant-Man action.
