speak of the devil. James Cameron knows a lot when it comes to lowering the bar.

Wow, you sure showed them. Those haters better think twice before doubting whatever children's movie Marvel decides to shit out next.
Well it's the 22nd highest marvel property opening weekend, these people must feel so owned.
Man, Black Panther releases in 3 years, do you really expect him to keep a textfile for that long.

He won't make a thread when the "haters" are right.

Don't worry OP, I don't hate you.
After Guardians, I have complete faith in Marvel. I loved Ant-Man.

I'm not seeing how people who didn't think the movie looked appealing during it's production and in the lead up to it's release, now somehow have to "eat crow" because it came out and made Green Lantern money in it's opening weekend. That is some desperate correlation. I really hope OP is on Marvel's payroll otherwise this is even more pathetic.

Bit of a backfire OP.
Watched it tonight, was OK.

Black Panther is going to do really fucking well.

I thought that the movie would be disappointing in terms of box-office by Marvel's recent standards, and that it would be an alright movie that would have been far better had Wright stayed to see out the film.
Lo and behold, I was right.
Lo and behold, I was right.
how can you prove the second though?
I thought it looked decent. But nobody should have to apologize for a film that got so-so reviews and that opened to $58M at the domestic box office, slightly under its projected $60-$65M opening and got the lowest per screen average of the 12 recent MCU films.
So yeah, a well deserved thread backfire.

Honestly it's way sadder that OP either saved a bunch of posts or went back and collected them then it is that someone was wrong about a movie being popular.
oh man...this thread
There's a few moments in this gif where the guy looks like Matt Damon.

I think he just had to get some sort of return on the time he invested in putting this together. Eh, fuck it... (submits thread.)
Should've just taken the L without anyone having to know about this.

OP I feel bad for you. If this was a tag fishing thread it doesn't really make it better, but it's silly that you put this much effort to basically post "something I like and you didn't did well"
The first (probably only) MCU movie I missed was IM3. So glad I did.
Guess what? You don't have to watch them. Or talk about them. Difficult concept to grasp, I know.

Some friends and I got really drunk and brought beer in the theater to keep the drunk going. Best way to experience this movie, it was a riot 
Still not a fan of how the character integrates with the rest of the MCU at all or why he matters, especially when they don't even use him in the comics anymore.
If Pym had made Ultron this movie would have been so much better and actually justify Ant-Man as a hero in the MCU.

You probably should. It's a lot more exciting, and a lot funnier than the trailers showed. Not "Make a stalker thread" good, but very good nonetheless. I'd say it's upper tier as far as Phase 2 goes.

I had that same attitude but I still saw Iron Man 3.
I know, I know. It was all in fun, but obviously I was wrong. I've learned my lesson, I feel bad and have a sweet tag now.

I predict Blade Runner 2 will be the best film Ridley Scott has ever produced
after two or three director's cuts
Wait... that is not Matt Damon?
woah woah woah since when?
I meant in anything other than his own series. He hasn't been a major player in any of the major events accept the last Ultron event because obviously. But Hickman's Avengers run only saw Ant Man breifly and even then it was the Hank Pym version.
you spent too much time and effort on this.
Ah, you're talking about Pym.
EDIT: You're talking about two different people in the same statement. Pym does not have his own series. Hasn't had one in a while.

Its fucking marvel! Of course it wouldn't bomb. Not going to see it, but I hope anyone who does see it enjoys it.
Please read the rest of that post.
It's very easy to do a search of "Ant-Man" for thread titles and just take a look. I thought it would be a funny thread, but sheesh. O___O
