Holy shit, I'm watching MauLer speaking about the last Ant Man film and it starts with the protagonist getting a struggle session from his family on daring to live a normal life after saving the world and reviving half the populace (he doesn't even have super powers to make the argument he can do anything meaningful), his daughter is genius Antifa, fighting minimum wage cops with billion dollar weapons for social justice, and there is now a plot point of the original Ant Man getting cucked.

I heard it was bad, but this is like a parody. Are modern super heroes even allowed to fight criminals?
Watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier next. The villains are literal ANTIFA and BLM protesters who use the mcguffin to gain superpowers to fight for secure housing and anti racism.

And yes they are portrayed more sympathetically than the heroes.

There's even a fun subplot where the blond haired blue eyed beefcake new Captain America is secretly a coward and a fraud who stole the title from the more deserving and qualified black man.

Very subtle social commentary there Disney.

And still comes off as the more humble and heroic character in the show as Falcon, who willingly gave up the mantle, and Bucky constantly treat him like he's already gone full villain when he's literally just saving lives and trying to be respectful. The show at least should get credit for how many people it pissed off by having Walker 'redeem' himself in the end and chose to risk his life protecting innocent people (though the show couldn't allow him to actually succeed in that and had Falcon save them for him).

That's not even the worst thing kek, those things at bad, but they're still in the film. The cut shit that came out after the release due to the writer Jeff Loveness going through cope & seethe revealing some of the shit makes you something between almost relieved that the shit isn't in the film & surprised that said was even written in the same place, let alone considered.

Some of them were posted in this thread was in the very first week of the release. For example, he had a mental breakdown over the criticism of the film, later that OG Ant-Man getting cucked part is even worsened with another interview with Jeff where he insinuates that his wife & Kang fucked too, & not just Bill Murray. Later he dilates about people calling out MODOK being a unfunny joke & is adamant about him keeping MODOK that way. After that, Jonathan Majors (Kang's actor) had some cope & seethe of his own.

Mind you, this ex-Rick & Morty writer was on record being said to be possibly writing the next Avengers film.

Best part is, the blond giga-chad is the most deserving candidate for Captain America rn & might be the most based character of Phase 4, if not the MCU in general, played by a genuinely good actor.

Exactly, he's the only good thing that came out of the entire show.

Was Rick & Morty ever good when every writer in it is also an MCU hack?
IMO the first season and IIRC the first half of the second season were good, but the show started losing quality, Season 3 was absolute reddit garbage (its were the Pickle Rick episode came from), Season 4 was slightly better than 3 and I pretty much dropped the show after that.

That was probably my favourite Critical Drinker video:


Not even sure how you can feel sympathetic towards villains who are mad that shit which never belonged to them in the first place is given back to the original owners once they are brought back to life. It's par for the course at Marvel, but it was very telling that Disney had no idea what they were doing when their second Marvel TV series was this.

Oh yeah, I watched that the other day, it’s why I tend to like those long form videos on stuff like that, because they tend to really break down just how badly they screwed the pouch on the film.

The fact that fucking MODOK of all characters comes across as the one character with something of an arc and is actually kinda sympathetic by the end of all of it…and it was done completely by accident and actually the opposite of what the writer was going for really says it all.

Walker isn't even a coward. He's a legitimate American hero with PTSD. Both his wife and best friend are black, so you can't even say he's a racist.

Yet the "heroes" of the show shit on him from the beginning for literally no reason and treat him worse than they do the real villains.

The inciting incident that sets him off the deep end is the *terrorist* villains killing his black best friend... Yeah, he went too far, but the "good" guys suddenly become way more intent on punishing him for killing one terrorist than they do ugly ginger bitch who killed a shit ton more people than he did. By the end of it, she's basically portrayed as a martyr.

Also the Wakandas almost killed Walker a bunch of times because “our jurisdiction is wherever we are at the time”, yet they’re allowed to get away with it. Walker kills a terrorist that killed his friend and other people and suddenly it’s “we’re gonna take the Shield from you because we are just that petty, fuck your PTSD lol”.

I can understand why the rest of the world didn't help Wakanda when they went to war against Namor. It really isn't any of their business to care when Wakanda keeps sending their glowies everywhere and starting fights. And no, it's not just Queen Ramonda's idiocy, but a long-standing policy since T'Challa at least. Probably forever if we're talking about Wakandans messing around in African politics. Maybe that's why they let the colonizers have their way with the rest of Africa. If North Africa ever realized just how much Wakanda was holding back, they'd invade en masse and overwhelm Wakandan defenses, hence Black Panthers running around and killing recon groups in the middle of the night.

Also, the Wakandan energy spear thing is just a G'ould staff weapon, but not as good. A G'ould weapon would shoot an explosive energy bolt that got weaker as the show went on, mostly because of plot. The Wakandans don't even get to explode their targets.
 
Deconstruct what exactly?

I can't believe they actually use mutated ants as why future gay socialism can work.
I can hear some writer uttering the words "but what if she's clumsy?"
I feel so sorry for the girl playing Ms. Marvel. This trashfire is going to hang around her neck like a damn millstone.
The Ant Man film had the exact thing I'm talking about with past Ant Woman's great sin was helping Hitler like that meme video
