Ant Man is being made because Edgar Wright likes the character and had been working on it since before the MCU was a thing.

The best thing about Hank Pym is that he sucks so much he's not even the leading authority on Pym Particles.

They're making an Ant-man film, I assume at least partially because...

All of that is wrong. They're making an Antman film because Edgar Wright likes Antman and he got the rights to do a movie about him. Edgar Wright also takes for-loving-ever to get anything done so it took so long it landed in the middle of the MCU.

It's Scott Lang because the guy who got the rights to it and wrote the movie likes Scott Lang more than Hank Pym, like any right thinking person should.

Ant-Man's rights were originally sold most likely because he was cheap, but that deal fell apart and has nothing to do with the current production except that it's where Wright became involved.

The current Ant-Man production is 100% Marvel, so they're neither concerned with him being cheap, or being a founding Avenger since in the MCU he isn't. They decided to hire Wright because they liked the work he had already done. So were it not for his script, the movie would have gone into limbo like Morbius, Longshot and Power Pack.

In Marvel Heroes Symbiote Spidey's quote when Punisher is nearby is "Hey Frank, how's the family?"

I guess one of Spidey's base traits is being a dick to Frank Castle.

Yeah, I agree. I don't get why people are so hung up on how difficult it'd be to portray more mystical/fantasy elements.

People aren't. Earlier rumors claimed Marvel was having trouble with the mystical elements of the story. People are discussing why that may be.

Some other people think that a lot of cryptic dialogue and an old lady hitting Daredevil kind of hard are basically the same as a magic kung fu dimension where you fight dragons and don't see how these difficulties could possibly be true.

Nobody's saying it can't be done.

Funny thing is I noticed in the beginning of the season she actually had Wild Turkey (specifically at Luke's bar), but towards the end it was replaced with Wild Fowl.

Pretty sure it's a joke about how she's buying cheap, knockoff stuff.

I don't want to read through the thread and find spoilers, but in a really vague sense can someone answer does this show wrap up it's story arc, or is everyone stuck waiting for a season 2?

It ends.

There are other minor threads opened up that could lead to a season 2, or can be resolved in Defenders or something.

I'm rereading Alias right now but (comics spoilers) when Kilgrave was venting about what he was going to do to Jessica and said "I'll make her want me and never give her what she wants", that's what he did to her in the comics right? Also, how do comic fans feel about changing that to explicitly rape in the show? I don't think it's a big deal, because the show takes the clear position that the true violation of Kilgrave is his power and not necessarily what he makes people do.

Yes.

I don't think the original version would quite fit in the show. Kilgrave isn't out to torture Jessica when he first gets her or anything. He likes her.

I thought the videos showed his parents experimenting on other children as well for their own benefit. When Jessica calls that guy he's like " Good loving riddance, I didn't have anything to do with what they were involved with".

Kilgrave said those videos were from other facilities.
