Review of Ant-Man

Ant-Man (2017)
6/10
Season One Review
14 April 2021
When I saw the length of the episodes of this show on Disney Plus I decided to blast through all six in quick succession, given that each one is only around two minutes long. Though there's nothing particularly wrong with the episodes, it does feel more like a proof of concept idea that has been cleaned up and released, rather than an actual show.

The further adventures of Scott Lang (Josh Keaton) as he continues to be Ant-Man and tangles with Yellowjacket (William Salyers), Egghead (Sam Reigel) and tiny alien invaders. He teams with Hank Pym (Dee Bradley Baker) and The Wasp (Melissa Rauch) and tries to keep out of trouble.

With just two minutes per episodes, and no greater story arc it's hard to really get too invested in what we're getting here. It's fine, but it's meant to stand alone from both the "Ant-Man" films and any of the other Marvel cartoons that exist. As I say, it feels more like a proof of concept than an actual show. My theory is perhaps further reinforced by the look of the show. The animation is done in a dot-matrix printing style, similar to how Marvel comics (all comics really) looked in the 70's and 80's. The suit design too is classic Marvel comics "Ant-Man" rather than one modelled on the movie version.

There's not really enough here to genuinely form an opinion on but I didn't dislike what I saw.
