After Thanos destroyed half of the universe, the Avengers have been shattered. The riveting conclusion to over 10 years of universe-building will be unveiled on April 26, 2019 when Marvel Studios releases the 22nd installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Avengers: Endgame.” Where will you be when the journey ends?
“When Cap asked me to go to Germany with him, if I had asked you, would you have gone?” – Ant-Man INTRODUCTION The MCU has suffered a major loss but we won’t get back to that until April 25, 2019. For now, the studio is filling in some of the gaps and that starts with where was Ant-Man for the last two years? Apparently, on house arrest. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE This is the 20th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the films have gotten to a point where they no longer need to be linear. This is the first time a female hero is part of a title. PLOT After the events of “Civil War” Scott Lang is suffering the consequences of teaming up with Cap. He is on a two-year house arrest when Hank and Hope come back to him hopeful that he can help them bring Janet back from the Quantum Realm. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR “ENDGAME” We know the Quantum Realm is going to play a big part in “Avengers: Endgame.” We know Scott comes back and that he returns to get Caps help. What happens next, well who knows. STAN LEE CAMEO Stan’s cameo comes late in this film. We see him trying to get into his parked car when it suddenly shrinks and appears to vanish. We see Stan deadpan and say, “Well, the ‘60’s were great but now I’m paying for it.” END CREDITS SCENE Another staple of Marvel films are the after credits scenes. This wasn’t a new thing for films, but it has been a revolutionary concept in that every movie now has scenes during and/or after the credits. There are two end credit scenes. The first scene is the most important as we see Ant-Man enter the quantum realm but when he calls over the communication device to come back, the camera shows that Hank, Janet and Hope have all been dusted from Thanos’ snap. Is Scott stuck? The second credit scene is just for fun and shows Antony the Ant playing the drums. CONCLUSION “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is like an after-dinner mint after a big meal like “Infinity War.” It’s not amazing but it’s not bad. It’s jut an average film. RANKING Every week I plan to rank the movies in order from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#22). “Ant-Man and the Wasp” took the 13th spot just above the original Avengers film. I don’t know if I will agree with this ranking tomorrow, but right now I think I enjoyed this film more.
