It wasn't to long ago that I felt that Antman and Wasp were very boring characters. But it wasn't until I read some Ultimate comics and saw Avengers EMH that my opinion shifted. So should Antman and Wasp be in the Avengers movie? My opinion is no.
First they need there own movie. I found it really interesting when I saw Hank physically abuse Jane. I feel if they were to give him maybe bi-polar disorder it would make sense. I think,but I cannot be fully certain. But if it plays out that way it would give the movie added emotional depth. And it would be cool to see the hero of the movie act at sometimes as the villain,in a sense. This would also add to Jane's character in that she can fight supervillains but can't stand up to her husband. Eventually leading her to grow a backbone as it were.
Second,it would be a good way to explore the scientific nature of vibranium. We got a sense of what it can do in Captain America TFA. But if Antman Wasp had a movie it could also show how dangerous it could be in the wrong hands,and also the good for mankind it could do. Leaving the way open for us to find its origin in a Black Panther movie.
Third,this is not an adaptation of the first Avengers comic. It would make sense to me if Jane and Hank we asked to join the Avengers by either Captain America of Iron Man. I don't see Hank agreeing to join the Avengers if it was a SHIELD operation. Which is what team is for this movie,not a premier superhero team. They are not independent agents as it were. I think marital abuse is something that could be interesting to explore in this potential film. Also making Jane by the end a very strong female role model for women today. Which will add more women to the movie seats...hopefully.
That's my thought process on this whole thing. Sound off in the usual place. Was it wrong for Marvel to bypass these two in favor for Black Widow and Hawkeye?
