The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) began with the release of “Iron Man” in 2008. Since then, the MCU has dominated the film industry in the 2010s. Ant-Man” is the new hero in the MCU. The movie “Ant-Man,” featuring Ant-Man, was released as the conclusion to Phase 2, which began with “Iron Man 3. Ant-Man is not a hero with special powers or a sense of justice but an involved human being.

The lowest-budgeted of the MCU films released in theaters, this film has been considered a modest work because the main character is an uncle, and Ant-Man himself is not very well known (this was the first time the author had seen him). However, after the film’s release, it became a famous work that attracted fans with its unique charm. Ant-Man became a crucial character in the subsequent films, and he continues to play a significant role after this film.
The scale of the story and worldview is not too large, but relatively small in a good way (although the others are too large), and I felt very comfortable with it.

A father hero who cares for his daughter.

Scott Lang, the main character in the film “Ant-Man,” is unusual among the heroes who have appeared in the MCU in that he is front and center as a father. The film shows how Scott becomes the hero, Ant-Man. For better or worse, his driving force has always been his daughter Cassie. It was all because of Cassie that he could compose himself after serving time for theft, and he could try to get a regular job. But he still couldn’t help himself and returned to the path of crime, not a little, because he felt it was for Cathy’s sake. Scott may seem like a no-good father to most people, but the fact that Cathy adores him so much shows how good of a person he is.

Another father-daughter pair also plays an active role in this film. That is the first Ant-Man, Dr. Hank Pym, and his daughter Hope. The father-daughter relationship between Scott and Cathy is built on a powerful bond that does not crumble, no matter how bad Scott is. However, Pim and Hope’s relationship is cold and very different from Scott and his family. Still, both Ant-Man characters share the same point: they work hard as heroes for their daughters and the world. The story of these two different father-daughter relationships must have captured the hearts of many people. In fact, at the time of the film’s release, there was talk of tearful fathers coming out of the theater.

Outstanding comedic sense

One of the major highlights of the movie “Ant-Man” is its outstanding sense of comedy. The fact that the main character is an ex-criminal uncle with a typical child sets it apart from other MCU films. However, the unique sense of humor is another reason people love this film. Paul Rudd plays Scott’s role and shows his outstanding comedic sense in this film. He is an actor who has appeared in the popular American comedy-drama “Friends,” even though his character was introduced towards the end of the series, he became famous and well-liked by many people. Since then, he has appeared in various comedy films and is known for his comical performances. His sense of humor can be thoroughly enjoyed in this film.

What makes the work even more interesting are Scott’s fellow thieves, Lewis, Dave, and Kurt. Particularly popular is Lewis, who is in charge of gathering information using all his connections with a wide range of faces. His fast-talking and Latin accent makes his stories interesting and makes me laugh whenever I see them. He is so popular that he raises many requests for him to appear in other productions. The air and tempo of the four thieves, including Dave, who often participates in arguments, and Kurt, who by contrast has a somewhat bizarre atmosphere with little facial expression, are also exciting and have stolen the hearts of many people.

A production in which many “familiar” characters appear

The comedy in “Ant-Man” is not in the characters or the actors themselves. The humor oozes from the most minor details of the production, making it so beloved. For example, Scott, who has just been released from prison, works at Baskin-Robbins, an ice cream chain well-known in Japan under the name Thirty-One. Just before this, he had said, “I have a master’s degree in electrical engineering, so I’ll find a job in no time! I have a master’s degree in electrical engineering and hope to find a job soon! That distinctive pink costume and apron further drew laughter. Even there, he was immediately fired because of his criminal record, and it was a great scene that symbolized Scott’s no-good attitude.

Thomas the Tank Engine, which appears in the climactic battle scene, caught even more people’s attention. Thomas the Tank Engine is a prevalent character among children from England, and he plays an unexpected role in a surprising scene. It is a hilarious and intense scene as a picture, so if you have yet to see the movie, please check it out by watching the film. The movie “Ant-Man” presents an entirely different hero from the MCU’s “cool” hero image that has only been on the surface up to that point. The story of a father and daughter will grab your heart, and the humorous atmosphere surrounding the entire film will make you laugh uncontrollably. This work is especially recommended for those who want to cry, laugh, and release the stresses of everyday life.

The reason for becoming a hero is very simple: “to be a father who will be respected” by his only daughter. However, it is very strong and easy to relate to work.
