Ant-Man Post Credit Scene Explained (or at least discussed)

Image
Like all of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was necessary to sit through the credits of Ant-Man to get a sneak peak of where Marvel was planning to go, moving forward with their movies. It's becoming more and more common now to not have just one, but two different credit scenes, on in the middle of the credits, and one at the very end. So lets take a look at both of the scenes. Obviously, spoilers for Ant-Man will be in this post. End Scene #1: The mid credit scene is of Hank Pym telling his daughter that he's finally ready for her to take more of an active roll in their field work. Then he reveals a Wasp suit and we end with Hope saying "About damn time." Its fairly straightforward here, and it seems clear that Hope will be suiting up to fight alongside Scott in future Ant-Man movies if there are any (which there probably will be). It's interesting to note however, that in the comics, Janet is the character who usually portrays the Wasp. As...

Extended Ramblings on Age of Ultron Pt. 2

Image
We ended part one of this article on the twins, so lets pick up right there. Again there are going to be big spoilers about Age of Ultron , so if you happen to be one of the last six or so people who haven't gotten around to seeing the movie yet, you should not read any further. Especially since the biggest spoiler of the movie is coming up next. Ok? ok. Spoilers start now. We need to talk for a second about Quicksilver, and his eventual fate in the movie. There have been a few reactions to Quicksilver's death, but here's the one that I actually feel strongest about. Now that Quicksilver has died, he needs to stay dead. Let me take you back across some of Marvel's Phase Two collection of movies, starting with the previous Avengers movie. In that movie we watched Coulson die and it was a very powerful moment. It was the dead of someone who we didn't really expect and in may ways didn't know how much we cared about him until he had died. That's what mad...

Marvel's Spider-Man: What We Know So Far

Image
Several weeks ago, it was announced that after much deliberation and lots of negotiation, a deal has finally been reached that will allow the character of Spider-man to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then rumors have been running wild with what the third incarnation of Spider-man in less than ten years was going to be like. Who would be playing him? How soon would he appear? How will Spider-Man factor into the already packed schedule that Marvel has lined up between now and 2020? While we don't know a lot of those answers yet, here's a quick look at the things we do have answers for sure about. No Andrew Garfield : It was stated pretty clearly early on, that this was not going to be the same Spider-Man from the past two Amazing Spider-Man films and thus Andrew Garfield would not be playing him again. While Andrew Garfield was one of the brightest spots in an otherwise problematic film series, it makes sense that Marvel would want no connection between their ...
