ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Director Peyton Reed Talks About Spinning Out Of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Honestly I love that Ant man and the wasp is the first movie since Civil war were the accord really felt like they made an impact, I remember Feige saying it would really make an impact on the MCU and aside from Cap and Tonys relationship (which would have been happened anyway had Tony found out about bucky before everything in civil war) none of these movies have really felt like "Yeah the accords are in there and they are breaking the law, this is dangerous, not even in infinity war.


So i'm really happy that civil war has consquences for this movie. It helped this movie have more stakes and feel more connected to the MCU as a whole.

Peyton Reed doesn’t get enough credit. He has done something really special with Antman and I look forward to seeing the conpletion of his trilogy and I really hope that he sticks around in the mcu after ant-man’s trilogy is done.

I truly enjoyed this movie. I think I'm going see it again in the next few weeks.

He for me was the scene-stealer of Civil War over Black Panther or Spider-Man, and easily at that as far as bang for buck goes.

Baba Yaga!

@TheDoctor1225- Alright, just finished season 2 of Luke Cage. So, my initial thoughts are that this was a very good to great season. Not excellent, but very good. I'm currently thinking that its about a 9.2 on my list.

This season essentially course corrected all of the major complaints from season 1. The villain Bushmaster was excellent, he was played especially well, I loved all of his scenes and he now joins the list of great Marvel TV villains. I guess the one complaint I would have with Bushmaster is how his story ended. I wish we had a final scene with him after hearing about Maria Stokes' death. His exit seemed... sudden and I wish we had one or more final scenes. I do hope he appears again in the future, perhaps as a co-partner with Nightshade. Speaking of, I did enjoy Thilde and she was set up well as the villain of season 3.

The action was very well done (no idea what Josh is talking about). The 3 action scenes that standout to me are, in no particular order: 1) the Luke Cage/ Iron Fist fight; 2) the Luke Cage/ Bushmaster fight against the Asian drug dealers; 3) the Bushmaster versus everyone fight in Harlem's Paradise. I'll definitely have to rewatch those scenes.

Danny Rand was excellent, loved that episode with him and wish he had appeared more. Season 3 of Luke Cage and Iron Fist should really be Heroes for Hire.

There were a lot of great character moments in this episode, great character arcs and backstory. Great acting and writing. Etc etc. But the one character who I hated, and the one that I was so happy to see go was Maria Stokes. I just hated the character and the performance of her for the most part. She only really became interesting when she burned that Jamaican guy.

Outside of Maria, I had some minor complaints here and there, mostly trivial stuff. My other big complaint though was Claire and the final minutes. For Claire, I think the divide between her and Luke was important and done well, but I kind of wish she had factored into the final episode a bit more. Her not being with Luke is really strange. And the final minutes. I actually would have ranked the season a 9.3 or 9.4 if it hadn't been for the final minutes. It just didn't feel right with Luke being at King's Paradise and possibly having a villainous turn. Yes, it puts the character on an interesting path. But I didn't like seeing him there. Luke is a hero and suggesting he is anything but is just not right in my opinion. And I didn't like the rift between him and DW (if I got the name right).

With the finale, Luke Cage has certainly entered clean slate territory. It will be very interesting to see where they go with season 3. But I hope they keep the same showrunner because this was a very good season.
