Marvel Cinematic Universe
Method of Madness:
Honestly I know very little about Ant-Man and even less about Wright's plans for the film, I just know Wright's a damn good filmmaker.
Thrillho:
Honestly, without Wright I am now interested in this film again. I like Wright, but he is not Joss Whedon. They have some things in common but Whedon has almost always made things which were action with funny lines, not action comedies. And there is a difference. Wright's films, discounting Fistful Of Fingers which I haven't seen, have been Hot Fuzz, Shaun, Scott Pilgrim and The World's End. His TV work has ALL been comedy. I just don't see how this lines up. Ant Man, and the MCU, they are not Scott Pilgrim action, they are not comedic gunfights in a backwater village. This is real shit, and I just don't think Wright could've done it, or if he had done it, I don't think it would've fit in with the larger MCU tone at all.
Method of Madness:
Wait, The Avengers isn't an action comedy?
Lines:
I wouldn't call it a comedy. The core of the films aren't funny, it's just that the characters themselves do or say things that are quite funny. Like...Batman: The Brave and the Bold I felt was meant to be a comedy Batman show. Justice League of America was not a comedy, but sometimes funny things happened. I can't really explain it, but I don't think the point of the MCU is to be funny, I think it's just adding a bit of lightheartedness to be different from the latest DCU stuff, which is pretty much all dark and depressing.
Method of Madness:
I guess I just don't put as much importance on what the point is. If something seems to run on laughs as much as action, I consider it an action comedy.
