...maybe THIS is why there's going to be an Ant Man film ;)

Rofl. For a Clintasha hangout, we do a great sideline of hating on Ant Man.

Characters dying does do all of that, but it doesn't have to be main person, it can be a new SHIELD recruit that the TV show audience knows even. I can see the movie starting from a "redshirt" perspective with a random agent waking up and going through duties that coincidentally bring the audience up to date if they (for whatever wimpy reason, haven't watched the intervening Marvel films or SHIELD tv show), then having the redshirt killed off by a minion of X Bad Guy. Roll title sequence.

Yes, that sound like a perfect way to go about it :D Totally possible and acceptable from my point of view!

I'm glad you were able to make sense of that mess of words and thoughts!

You know I can make sense of whatever you write ;) It's my superpower ;D But seriously, I really like this idea. I'd say there is a real possibility of this happening too, what with the Shield series and everything.

Yah, the SHIELD series is my hope for getting all the awesome ladies that I love in the Marvel universe who don't look like they'll be showing up anytime soon.

Yes, mine too. So much awesome yet to be seen!

For a Clintasha hangout, we do a great sideline of hating on Ant Man.

LMAO.

I don't even know how it came about. It's look poor Ant-Man took all the brunt of our anger for us not getting a Black Widow movie. And hell, now it's like a fandom pastime, lol.

Yeah, I think we were all like "No Black Widow movie? So, that means a Hawkeye movie, right? Wait, WTF?! ANT MAN?! DIE!!!" Or maybe just me...

No, i think that's a pretty accurate recall of what happened, lol.

Oh wait, sorry, replied above before I saw this :) Yeah, it's hate on the Ant Man film *grins*.

I have no opinion on ant man except this prophetic line: "Ant? Boot."

Maybe we can kill off Rhodey, if someone Good We All Like has to be sacrificed? He's already changed beyond all recognition between IM1 and 2 ...

Just saying.

Heehee, yep ;D

Oddly I like both versions of Rhodey...I just can't reconcile them as being the same person, and not because they look different. They really were played as different people so far as I can see. Poor Rhodey.

I don't mean to hate on anyone, I just don't see the point in having an Ant Man film before we've had a Hawkeye or a Black Widow film. We've got all these great characters that can played with, and they want to introduce another one in a film of there own? Why? :S I do dislike Ant Man and Reed Richards, but yeah, my hate is for the Ant Man film :)

Ooo, now that's a thought. And that would be a good way of catching people up when you have a big blockbuster film where some people might not have seen all the lead ups.

Yeah, same with you on the dislike versus hate.

Ant Man will likely be done partially as a 1960's era Tales to Astonish piece, with flashbacks and flashforwards between with Pym as the original and Lang as his sucessor, It isn't confirmed yet if the movie will fall in MCU continuity, but rumoured release date means it falls after A2's release date. Phase 3 for Marvel so far is only confirmed Ant Man and Doc Strange. But you have the possibility of Black Panther, Hulk, Heroes for Hire, Punisher, Daredevil (chance for a Black Widow cameo there), Blade, Vision, Fantastic Four and Runaways as potential rumoured Marvel vehicles that may be developed moving forward.

After Avengers 2? Hmm, interesting. Hopefully Ant Man will mean Janet - more ladies in the mix would be nice :) Black Panther, yes please, and I keep meaning to read Runaways, have to add that to the to-read list. See, Daredevil and a Winter Solider film might mean space for Natasha to play, but I'd love for her to have her own film to play in. Ah well.

was rumoured to want to have Wasp featured in his original Avengers draft, but was told he had to work with Hawkeye as it had already been set up with the Thor cameo. So that is why you had Hawkeye as almost a non-entity with the brainwashed character with limited screen time. He had to somehow work Clint in to his story, as he hadn't planned for it in his original idea of how the movie would go. It's also why you have quotes about Renner wanting to play the character he was originally sold on, the Hawkeye role was planned by Marvel but not by Whedon.
