Ant-Man looks like fun. I just hope they improved on how they use and treat villains in there films in this movie.

Its already been confirmed Marvel has a lot of say in the films and decides what they want or don't want in the films. Joss Whedon has confirmed this actually in multiple interviews. Ironman 2, Avengers 2, Thor 2, and more all had the same problem regarding the villain so no way is it just the Directors doing the same problems. He isn't the only Director to talk about the problems working with Marvel. Directors have left Marvel films because of creative differences and problems with them. The links below are regarding Joss Whedon and the Thor 2 director:

Oh man, IDW are going nuts with crazy amazing crossovers again. (I don't know why I made a whole thread dissing them last year, they're great)

They're making a crossover between the movie Ghostbusters and the cartoon Real Ghostbusters. They're making a crossover between ROM and the Micronauts. They're even making a crossover between Street Fighter and GI Joe. Pretty hype.

WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS OH MY GOD I'M DONE. I'm done. F*ck it. This world is too good. 

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh....... Ugh.

That's just too bad, man. Marvel will never let Spider-Man develop as a character! Never! Teenage Spidey-Min ftw amirite amirite amirite, heeheeheehee.

They should just invent a new character who captures Spider-Man's essence when he was a teen and still have an older, more adult Spider-Man (That role will be filled by Morales post-SW, will it not?). If Morales still acts like a kid in the semi-reboot then this all will end up seeming incredibly unnecessary.

I'm just going to be very, very brief: I'm a major fan of the Incredible Hulk.

I love the stories that delve deeper into the psyche of the Jade Goliath.

I love more so the tales that delve into the man that is Doctor Bruce Banner.

You can see these interchangeably in many a great stories.

Like when he was Joe Fixit (I'm well aware, not exactly the Jade Goliath but nonetheless) to Professor Hulk. When Bruce Banner was separated from the Hulk (where he'd gone mad), we saw a side of the Hulk that was just awesome.

When they reunited and Banner set to working for SHIELD, we got to see him actually put his brains to use. Bannertech was amazing and he had intense motivation to do good. For a brief period.

In fact, in some stories of questionable quality (I'm not a fan of Skaar. There might be good writing there but nonetheless), we see how he reconciles with his "son" despite the fact that he's the Hulk's, technically.

More so with the Gamma Bomb Armor he made that makes Tony Stark's Hulk Buster armors look silly.

Another run I know is fuckin' excellent is Peter David's.

My biggest gripe to date is... the novelty behind the gamma irradiated behemoth that we all know and love is lost. I remember how often they'd pounded into the readers that the Hulk was a unique specimen among Gamma Mutants, that he couldn't be replicated.

Well... he can't be replicated entirely, so perhaps I'm splitting hairs... and the majority of gamma mutants we've seen have been fairly unique to be fair. But they, by large, were their own and only had a connection to the Hulk purely in the gamma sense!

But the real crux is the aforementioned novelty of the Hulk. What had been "unique" has been mass produced in many forms.

Rick Jones was among the first who turned into a Hulk long, long before he became A-Bomb. Then there's also Ravage, who was basically Hulk with awesome facial hair. He was loony toons though. There was Flux, a poor Sergeant Tibbets subjected to gamma radiation experiments at the behest of General Ryker's to produce his own walking Gamma WMD, that was crudely malformed and manipulated to combat the Incredible Hulk... those were excellent!

Even the Harpy!

Now fast forward a little...

When Banner took the Hulk out of himself, that unique aspect got abused and utilized by AIM. People en masse that mounted an assault on AIM got transformed into Hulks. Perhaps you all recall this particular story. Deadpoolhulk anyone?

Then there were those during the Indestructible Hulk run (I believe anyway, it's been a while) that basically had a mock-up of a serum that transformed them into towering hulks.

And now we have Greenland, where almost everything is related to the bloody Hulk! Tribal Hulks that stalk the lands! Sea Hulks that creep the watery depths! Gamma irradiated Venus flytraps that's meant to eat the Hulk! Etc.

I'm blatantly ignoring Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross because he was fairly awesome on his lonesome without needing to become a friggin' Hulk. A Red one at that. >_>

Then there's the new Hulk that's going to be revealed... probably Amadeus Cho.

I just miss the novelty and the intrigue of the Hulk. The incarnations of the Hulk I've no qualms with whatsoever. Each had their own tale to share and were fairly interesting. In fact... I would love to see the scores of Hulk personalities deep within Banner's psyche that were touched once upon a time. He was the original Jekyll and Hyde!!!

When he "had" Multiple Personality Disorder of course, heh.
