Yeah, that's always ridiculous (see this cover of Empowered & Sistah Spooky's High School Hell that I saw in the April Dark Horse solicitations for an example)

If you look closely, the designs on the chest are supposed to look like an Ant, and Wasp.

I saw that earlier, and I think that is really really cool.

I get what they were going for, but...nyeeeeaah.
I'm sure at some point during the movie I'll stop giggling.
Maybe.

All artists ideally should stop drawing sexy women and men?
Because, it won't happen. Sex is hardwired into humans - they find sexy anything, which Internet is living prove of and will continue to sexualize everything. No amount of cries will stop it.

Oh man those are pretty hilarious. There's far too many ridiculously bad and overused tropes pertaining to "strong female characters"

I was already on board but that trailer is a little... meh. I'm guessing they want to save Michelle Pfeiffer for the next trailer?

Probably. I could even see them holding off on revealing her return until right before the film is released or the week of.

People who have been following news about the film are aware that Pfeiffer was cast as Janet so obviously she's in the movie in some capacity but the average movie-goer who just sees movies when they come out likely has no idea what the broad strokes of the plot are.

I have to say that this really looks like it will be another exciting chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A lot of people had their doubts about the first one before it was released with the change of directors, but everything turned out just fine and the movie was one of my favorite films released during the summer of 2015. I really like how the Wasp will get to shine in this one.

I can't believe there's a sequel movie to Ant-Man and it's going to do gangbusters, the Marvel movie brand has really become that powerful?

I mean I think it's awesome, I love (some incarnations) of Ant-Man and Wasp, so to see these underused heroes get a hyped movie is just crazy to me when the character was never big enough to hold a comic book title for long or ever having a solo cartoon, hell he's not even featured in most Avengers cartoons and wasn't in the first movie.

I wouldn't count the chickens before they're hatched. While MCU sequels do tend to do more money than the previous movie, Ant-Man 1 was one of the lowest grossing MCU movies of all.

Loved the trailer. its cool to see stuff we never seen before with the shrinking technology. Shrinking a building to the size of a luggage, a car chase which the car shrinks and grows back flipping another car on top of it. this movie is going to be a whole lot of fun.

I need to watch almost all Marvel movies after Avengers 2.
Gladly most of them on YouTube available for pay-per-view.
