Imagine what it would be like to have a super power. Need to escape? How about the power of flight? Forced to fight? How about laser-eyes or super strength? Want to be able to change
yourself to look like Taylor Swift anytime you’ve got a spare five minutes alone? No problem, my friend; after all the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a rich tapestry of super abilities. I think I’d go for telepathy. No, teleportation. No, wait - adamantium claws, or…oh, I don’t know. Tere’s so many of them to pick from. Which is why, with such a plethora of choice, I’m surprised to see that Marvel Films seem to have worked their way to the shit ones quite so soon. Like Ant-Man – a man who can shrink to the size of an Ant. Fucking. Wow.
So maybe my super power is cynicism, but c’mon, let’s think about this. Firstly, a man who can shrink to the size of an ant? Granted there probably are applications for this technology, but not many. Tink about it. Sneaking into places? What could you steal if the only way in is an ant-sized opening? Spying? Again, how are you going to take photos of any documents, etc, when you’re the size of an ant? But that’s not his only power, oh no, not Ant-Man. He also has the strength of… a man! Yup. A man. Same as before he put on the suit. So when he’s small, he can still punch people with the same strength he could before. So what? Imagine if he had the strength of an ant instead? He could be the size of a man, but like 100 times stronger. Wouldn’t
that be way better?
After that, you probably think that I’m about to tell you not to bother seeing this film, right? Wrong. Because it looks awesome. Sure, he’s a hero that will have to deal with pretty specific problems, like equally tiny bad-guys, or keyhole knee surgery, but these situations will have been written by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and Joe Cornish (Attack the Block); both of whom have been writing with their tongues pretty firmly in their cheeks. Couple that with Paul Rudd in the lead role, and it looks like this could be a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe the best things do come in small packages?
