Really enjoyed this sequel, probably more than the first and I quite liked that one as well. The cast just all work so well together, and even Scott Lang's daughter is pretty great too for being a child actor. And I continue to love how the action scenes in the Antman movies play out with all of the powers being used.

Midcredit scene was a bit of a downer after such a fun movie, and I was thinking it was just going to be Hank that went with the snap. It was really sad seeing everyone in that final scene besides Scott go poof. Looking forward to whatever happens to Scott being stuck in the quantum realm in future movies.

Also, I really wish I had read about not sticking around for the post credit scene. What a waste of time.

Someone on Twitter asked Russo Bros about midcredit scene:

Spoiler: show

They asked if Scott was protected from Thanos snap because he was in the Quantum Realm or if it was just luck of the draw (snap?). Russo says it was luck.

I really liked it.

Jeez.

I saw it this past weekend. Loved it. Loved it! Was better overall than the first. I feel like the Marvel sequels are always better because they have already established the characters and themes and can just go all out.

Spoiler: show

The scenes in the quantum realm were so awesome. When Hank is trying to find Janet I was just in awe.

Every part Micheal Pena was in was hilarious! XD When they give him the truth serum.. oh man I was laughing so hard it could have twisted my stomach in knots.

I loved how Hope kept their spare reduced cars in a HotWheels case heh heh.

Ghost was a forgettable villain. Only weak part of the movie. She wasn't really a villain anyway when you think about it. Maybe if they had made her more ruthless.

The movie was great. Just fun and charming throughout. A nice reprieve from some of the more serious Marvel movies, but still enough of a serious tone mixed with comedy to give stakes to what they were doing

Spoiler: show

First after credit scene was awesome. My entire theatre gasped out loud when it happened, was hilarious

The second scene was fun too. I know it was meant to be stupid and silly but there was a couple hints and just enough background ambiance to give it that post-apocalyptic feel.

Same here. I started to say, "OH FUCK!!" out loud but I stopped myself cause there were kids around.

Yeah I wouldn't really call her one either. People conflate antagonist with villain and protagonist with hero too much. You don't have to have a real villain. I wouldn't have called Zemo a villain either really. It's just they did very little with her. Just a brief exposition about her past to explain why extreme methods are her first choice and very simple I'm dying motivation.

Zemo murdered hundreds. Dude was a villain lol.

[Zetanio]

What's the cost of a few hundred against the entire world?

[Eurell]

Everything.

Something I got to thinking about, not sure if it’s a thing or I’m imagining things:

Spoiler: show

When Hank Pym enters the quantum realm, those floating creatures that almost ate his ship kinda resembled the very big space slug things from the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy 2. And in GOTG2, Quill said they were from another dimension. Wonder if they were the same thing? Or just looked similar. Or maybe it’s nothing.

They're tardigrades. They are real creatures. Google them.

Spoiler: show

The mom mentions he should avoid Tardigrade fields when he goes in during the credits

[Mythe_Seraph]

Yeah but tardigrades don't just float around in every single area of microscopic space on the planet. Which is why it was stupid for them to even appear. Tardigrades are tight don't get me wrong.

Well according to Zemo himself quite a bit... but not so much he wouldn't do it himself

[AoE]

Saw the movie for a second time and looked up Ghost just to discover she voiced a character in Dark Souls 1 and 2. Was kinda dope to find that out.
