This is almost exactly what I meant when I said I expected them to subvert origin story tropes. Really expected them to go with the whole "this guy is nothing like the other superheroes" route, but really, all I got from this trailer is "This guy is going to be just like those other guys."
This is why I was excited about Wright working on the movie, he knows how to take tropes and subvert them, all while actually still having some kind of emotional core.
Okay. You're taking this a tad too serious.
He is gonna be playing the same character from Observe and Report, and will eventually replace Benedict Cabbagepatch as the second Dr Strange.

Not sure what roles are left. I'd say Luke Cage but he's taken.

I think this was the biggest problem with the trailer. It should've transitioned into something far less serious when the Ant-Man name drop came. The Guardians teaser did this to perfection.

The shrinking effects are pretty much the same.
Also, if Wright did a lot of the work on the visual look of the effects, hope he actually gets credited. Dude worked on this movie for years.
I feel like I'm reacting okay. Bad trailer. But I thought Cap 2 wouldn't be good.
I'm a wright fan, but I'll give this a shot when it comes out. They gotta do better trailer wise next go.
I have a lot of time for Edgar Wright due to Spaced, Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. But while his directorial style is always great, but his films are a mixed bag.
Scott Pigram bored the living piss out of me. It might have been a faithful comic book adaptation, and was full of Wright's trademark style, but was way too long and very lacking as a stand along film. The World's End is one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen. Like a particularly shit Doctor Who episode dragged out to 90 minutes.
So it could have gone either way with him directing Ant-Man.

Seems like most were more excited for GoTG teaser than Ant-Man's

Will he go giant in this movie or Avengers 3?
HOW THE FUCK did no one mention before that Rudd wouldl be a great Drake? holy shit it makes too much sense now.
on topic. saw the trailer one more time. it's not really obvious hes a thief or that his daughter is sick, but yea i saw him get arrested.
guess this teaser is more for the hardcore marvel types, and not regular folk.

The CG looks somewhat cheap and the production values seem kind of low, I feel like Arrow is able to have similar production values despite being a show.
Also being in 16:9 instead of 22:9 isn't helping.

Scott pilgrim was not perfect, the 2nd half was pretty messy. I say this as a devout Wright and Scott Pilgrim fan.

Well you should have at least seen him being arrested and in prison. That was in the trailer.
Cassie Lang being sick is part of Scott's backstory and isn't specifically shown in the trailer, so for that part, I can understand how you wouldn't get that. There are shots of her in the trailer though, so you could go under the assumption that he wants to do something that would make his daughter proud of him instead of ashamed of him.
Personally I'm fed of this dude, it's as if his the only American-Mexican actor around. smh

I really though the music in the first half of the trailer was leading into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS4zYWxzNA

Happy to see actual ants in this. Thought they would cut that shit out. Now we just need the Wasp.
I'd wager they didn't want this to come off too much like Guardians so they avoided that. But they ended up making it look too generic. The fact it was a teaser and had limited money shots due to effects not being done didn't help either.
You didn't like him to begin with, which is the point I'm making. You're acting like this teaser had enough to convince you one way or another, when the truth is you were never going to feel any other way. The fact there isn't enough to lead a sensible, open minded person to come to any conclusion as to how good or bad he is obviously means nothing to you.
I'm moreso mean the pace, tone, shot choice, and energy of that sequence. That's what Reed has to live up to in my mind. I'm fine with the cast etc., but it's Reed's creativity and the script that have me the most concerned.

Next trailer to be attached to Age of Ultron is what I think. Makes too much sense.

I think the problem with this trailer is how it doesn't seem to separate itself in a unique way through tone, from the other Marvel movies. Guardians teaser, albeit, received with mix reactions, showed a tone that would separate it from other Marvel movies in being comical and self aware at the ridiculous nature of the story.
This pretty much plays out as any generic superhero trailer would. The main guy is different, he has something to protect and the risks involve the world so it's time to suit up. The trailer doesn't mention the whole heist aspect of the film but instead chooses to focus on the daughter relationship possibly to market towards families. Unlike the Guardians teaser, I feel like the really played it safe with this trailer rather than going all out and showing just how crazy and different Ant-Man could and possibly will be.
That being, when you look back on it the first trailer for Iron Man 3 played up the serious aspect of it when it undoubtedly became one of the more comedic Marvel films Really as others have said before I feel like Marvel pushed out this trailer so people would at least get familiar with the character before marketing of the Avengers will push it behind a wall of unawareness.

I'm holding out hope that we get something in between.
Marvel's Dr. Extraño. No contaban con su astucia.
He's one of the few recognizable ones and he's been getting roles so I see why they went with him.

Ant Club.
I didn't come to any sort of conclusion. I made a prediction. I said that I thought he'd be a weak link. I'm done arguing about this, because frankly nothing in this trailer merits any kind of lengthy debate.
Eh, with Avengers 2 only acouple months prior to Ant-Man's release? That makes the most sense for when we'd see the next trailer.
