WONDER WOMAN Director Patty Jenkins Share Some Ideas For A Possible Sequel

@TheUnworthyThor - Most people dislike origin stories, but I'm with you I love them.
Maybe it's because they have the most character development, idk

@Doomsday8888 - some people find origin stories boring and formulaic, i seem to love them.

Batman begins is great but a lot of people don't like it because it isn't heavy on the action.

@Doomsday8888 - I think people are crazy for complaining about origin movies, like I know a lot of us are big time comic book readers and know these origins by heart, and we could maybe get by without them, but that's hardly true for most people. And even for us they are an integral part of the character and understanding them.

And yeah I know some of them can be similar, but let's be real, there are only about five different superhero origins with just a few cosmetic differences.

@Doomsday8888 - There are certainly some strong similarities between IM and DS, but Ant-Man is doing it's own thing.

I can understand why some people wouldn't like Ant-Man, but it isn't the arrogant guy learns lesson in humility in the process of becoming a hero story that the other two were.

@Doomsday8888 - I see the humor here, it's funny and all, but we aren't talking about a detail.

Ant-Man was about Scott's journey, not Hank's, so the joke about the similarity to the corporate take over story of Iron Man, while humorous, doesn't really apply.

Moreover, you might argue that Ant-Man never quite pulled it off, but Iron Man was never even attempting to be a heist film.

Most importantly though, Iron Man and Dr. Strange overcoming arrogance as a character flaw is the central point of their stories. That just isn't present in Ant-Man, and that isn't a detail, it's crucial.

A detail is more like: Having tasted humility, Tony realizes how dangerous his tech is, while having also been served some humble pie, Steven now knows he can save lives without being the most celebrated surgeon in his field. Some would even argue that this difference is more than just a detail, but I am not interested in going down that road.

In the end, I am less concerned that some of these hero origins are similar, even very much so, than that they capture the most important part of the character's back story with a reasonable degree of quality and comic accuracy. A lot of this can be chalked up to a lack of originality in the source material (like Spidey's similar lesson in humility). This version of Ant-Man though, is different enough to not be lumped into this category.

@AngryBillCipher - That makes no sense. Men's every non-sequel movie ever sucked because they didn't have a movie before it

@xAdam - I respect them for giving smaller charectors there due, but the wrong charectors.

No birds of prey? elastic man? blue beetle? doom patrol?

feels very souless
