>“I haven’t seen it and I haven’t even seen the trailer…The closest I came to it was that somebody sitting near me on a flight was watching it. And when I saw that the person sitting next to me was going to watch the movie, I thought, hmm, maybe I’m going to do some work on my laptop.”
>And while he says he doesn’t regret leaving the film, it would be hard for Wright to view the movie without picking it apart. As for any issues between him and Reed, Wright admits they essentially haven’t had any communication.

i love wright and am eager to see baby driver, but he was being completely unreasonable

Hunter Garcia
>“I have not spoken to him at all. I think the last communication I had with him is I said, “’Please don’t just use my storyboards,’ and then I’ve never spoken to him anymore ever since.”
They clearly used his storyboards and possibly script for any creative sequence in the movie. It's a shame he didn't get to direct it, it would make it a lot more rewatchable.
Also we would've got Patrick Wilson instead of the bald guy villain.
Matthew Allen
Fucking pathetic, you fags are as insufferable as Snydercucks. Wright's Ant-Man would've been one of the best capeshit movies of all time but instead we got some shit that was forgotten within a couple of months.
Thomas Moore
I really hope he directs The Flash.
Juan Sullivan
>Edgar Wright >not a hack The Cornetto trilogy is shit.
Caleb Wood
Meanwhile Ant-Man made 2 billion dollars and Baby Driver will flop
Christian King

Jack Bell
actually it only made 500 million lmao
Dominic Morris
great contribution
> hope had smaller role > lang's crew had more guys and less characterization/more generic heist archetypes (wheelman, tech guy, explosives guy, etc) > cross is some donut steel "nano warrior" and not yellowjacket > ex-wife and daughter have BIGGER roles along with cop boyfriend > ex-wife is the main love interest > all characters dicks and less sympathetic > cop boyfriend was originally childhood rival of scott, who wanted to put him in jail. (this is anime tier writing by the way and i'm shocked that it'd come from wright)
reed & rudd saved the movie, more wasp stuff was probably their best contribution
Josiah Richardson
The Cornetto trilogy blows away the entire Marvel cinematic universe. Better characters, better comedy, better action, better filmmaking, better EVERYTHING. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and some other middle aged people fighting robots in a bar was more thrilling than every Marvel action scene put together. Kevin Fiege doesn't deserve to lick Edgar Wright's feet.
Caleb Thomas
>implying the movie was saved
if you didn't turn it off after the first few minutes of CGI Michael Douglas you're a pleb, even the first Avengers had a better intro
Ethan Anderson
also his draft had no quantum realm/microverse stuff, no large/shrink discs, no falcon/hydra/shield connections minus the fact that at one point a throwaway mention pym worked for them back in the day
wright is great but slightly arrogant to ignore the other filmmakers that built stuff before him. doesn't mean has to reference every single thing of course, but you're joining a production studio that is in business to build a SHARED universe, you can't just stand along by yourself
Easton Hall
>MUH BOX OFFICE kek
Cameron Hughes
at world's end was a little too schmaltzy i think
fuzz & shaun are stronger. scott pilgrim is great minus the failed lead casting of cera, so it makes the film poor. i don't know if that was studio or wright, because the rest of the cast was so strongly cast and perfect. MEW, based evans, culkin, schwartzman, routh, etc. but cera was terrible
the budget was only 120 million, the smallest of the MCU. ant-man/wasp will crush at the box office
Anthony Stewart
It sounds like it didn't contradict anything though. It pretty much ignored the rest of the universe but it didn't fuck up the continuity so Marvel wouldn't have had much of a problem shoving Ant-Man into other movies.
Alexander Thomas
Considering the last decent film he made was Hot Fuzz, Marvel did right by ditching him.
David Kelly
That's rich coming from an MCUck. Marvel wishes they could make something as fun and memorable as the Cornetto trilogy. Most Marvel movies are forgotten in a few months whereas everyone still remembers Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Aaron Hughes
Ant man is one of the few marvel movies i actually enjoyed from beginning to end. Wright has always been pretentious twat.
Caleb Evans
You have to go back.
Michael Powell
And the last decent film Reed made was? Fuck off with this shit, Marvel doesn't need directors, they want yes-man. Which is coincidentally an awful movie directed by Peyton Reed
Jose Edwards
>this thing is shit >well at least it isn't as shit as this other shit! Fucking every time on this god forsaken site. Jesus fucking Christ.
Landon Cooper
> hope had smaller role
Based Marvel and Reed.
Matthew Hernandez
You're the one who needs to go back. I'm sure the Marvel subr*ddit agrees with your shit opinions.
Parker Sullivan
Glad he got fired, Ant-Man ended up being one of Marvel's best.
Nathan Mitchell
>Wright's Ant-Man would've been one of the best capeshit movies of all time
Why do you believe this? Have you not read what he wanted to do?
Ryan Hall
Still salty that Reed made a better Ant-Man movie, Edgar?
Nolan James
None of that contradicts anything in the other Marvel movies though.
Dylan Hall
>look up this literal who to see what literal who movies he made >Hot Fuzz trilogy >meme Pilgrim >and now Baby Driver
why are you lot treating Wright as some sort of genius
or is it just the DCuck overtime
Anthony Price
I'll never understand why so many people hate The World's End. Scott Pilgrim is different from the Cornetto trilogy and it's an adaptation of LOOK AT HOW FUCKING INDIE I AM: The Comic so I understand why SP gets shit but TWE has a lot in common with the rest of the Cornetto trilogy. Did Simon Pegg's character hit too close to home for some people?
Andrew Carter
>more wasp stuff was probably their best contribution That alone makes wright potentially better
Blake King
>this thing that exists is better than the one that was cancelled No shit, user. Michael Bay could make the best Ant-man movie too if his Ant-man was the only Ant-man movie.
Daniel Foster
>DCuck I loathe Snyder and love Wright.
Mason Hill
Never mind Edgar Wright, how is Joe Cornish feeling about all that? His career literally doesn't exist now after one good movie.
Charles Morales
He's directing another movie soon.
Thomas Ward
every one of his films has better direction, writing and care than any mcu flick they've shat out
Julian Jenkins
Tell me the truth Sup Forums
Is Ant Man actually a good movie?
Connor Walker
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End are some of the best comedies of the 21st century.
Nicholas Allen
get that brit comedy dick out of your mouth lmfao
Aaron Bailey
Considering how far Wright was up in his own arse, it's admirable how patient Marvel had been with him.
Taika Waititi is a far better director anyway and is easier to work with.
Jace Edwards
>Wright still hasn't checked out Ant-Man or any of the previews that were released beforehand, and he doesn't plan to because it would be like hanging out with an ex at the most awkward of times. As Wright put it:
>I haven't seen it and I haven't even seen the trailer. It would kind of like be asking me, "Do you want to watch your ex-girlfriend have sex?" Like, 'No, I'm good.'
MARVEL KEKS BTFO
Jacob Stewart
Go back to bed, Wright.
Levi Morgan
get that marveldick out of your mouth lmfao.
Joshua Sullivan
>Taika Waititi is a far better director anyway
Taika's movies are pure mediocrity compared to Edgar Wright's movies, they're funny and timeless not some wes anderson tribute crap
Adrian Watson
>Jon Favreau >Kenneth Branagh >Shane Black >James Gunn >Taika Watiti All better directors than Wright.
Carson Brooks
Shaun and Hot Fuzz yes
TWE is trash.
Ayden Jackson
marvel changed their ultron stuff too around wright
orignally ant-man was supposed to come out before avengers, then before avengers 2, instead he waited and did other stuff, so it ended up being stark that helped create ultron instead of pym, which was bad for other reasons
Camden Foster
Didn't he want to make Hank Pym the a bad guy too or some shit?
Carter Wright
Second best Marvel movie after Iron Man 3
Josiah Bailey
>if I put a fullstop he'll see how btfo he is
LOL
Leo Adams
>a generic plot full of tropes with a few cool action scenes is Marvel's best movie
Really fires up your neurons.
Hunter Diaz
>Kenneth Branagh
fucking lol, might as well put Whedon there mate
Parker Gomez
MEW was also terrible, let's be honest. Just listen to her delivering any of her lines that aren't part of a moody conversation with Cera. Everyone else was hamming it up being cartoony and energetic and fun, and she was just boring and bland by comparison. Especially her lines in the girl fight, the other chick was cartoony and alive, and MEW was throwing her lines out like she just woke up 10 minutes ago.
Cooper Bailey
>Edgar Wright's movies, they're funny and timeless
Top kek.
Parker Howard
is this bait or have marvelcucks gone full retard?
Nolan King
>everyone was a dick You know it's supposed to fucking be the IREDEEMABLE Ant Man right? Hes a fucking ex con, and a dick seeking REDEMPTION. Happy "I only committed a minor crime so I can be fun and relatable" Paul Rudd might as well have just been his fucking character from Celery Man.
Cameron Phillips
mostly boring by-the-numbers story with a couple of choice scenes, which still feel like leftovers or pale imitations compared to how Wright would direct them
Jeremiah Walker
Of course it's bait. MCUcks can't be THAT retarded.
Grayson Price
>comparing a draft of one filmmaker's movie script to another filmmaker's finished movie

Camden James
>mfw Marvel fanboys shit all over Wright and claim Reed's script is far better Wright is one of the most VISUAL comedy directors currently working, harshly judging him because of a script is retarded. I'm sure his Ant-Man would've been far more visually striking than what we got.
Grayson Sanders
you can't seriously rate Wright that highly
a dude that made a scott pilgrim movie and 3 comedies
pls say you aren't that deluded
Ryan Russell
I don't know, it's as bad as people acting as if Edgar Wright is a good director.
Robert Ward
it's a shame wright didnt stay on we could have finally gotten a good mcu movie. oh well
Brandon Garcia
They have a good reason though considering his last good movie was Hot Fuzz and that was like a decade ago or something?
Cooper Gonzalez
He's been directing it soon for about a decade now
Parker James

Camden Harris
Wait, am I not supposed to like Hot Fuzz?

ok shaun of the dead trilogy
happy mr wright?

Wright is better. >>Taika Watiti I need to watch his films.
Christopher Phillips
Ignore the MCUcks, Hot Fuzz is pure genius.
Austin Jones
I just think it's cute DCucks are using this as firepower
as if Wright is DC or something lmfao
Jordan Wood
>DCucks How many times do I have to say I hate Snyder?
Angel Roberts
It's not just DCucks. It's anyone with a common sense.
Bentley Bailey
But what was in there that went against the established Marvel canon? Or was it more of a case of Marvel putting in-universe references in his script?
Either way, nothing in Wright's original script looks worse than what we got. It doesn't matter if Hope has a larger role and Lang's crew has "less generic heist archetypes" (even if they are generic in different way and the film isn't even a fucking heist film) if what we got was a pretty bland and forgettable film, something we can agree Wright's wouldn't be.
Christopher Long
>mfw Sup Forums doesn't know whether to shit on Marvel or Wright since both are quirky quippers reddit likes and Americans have retarded black and white thinking who don't think it's possible to like both or hate both participants in a conflict

Rudd, Douglas and Lilly were good. Everything else was just dull. Lang's buddies were fucking terrible. Especially the retarded Mexican. The villain was Mr. Exposition-Man. Marvel's best isn't very good.
Landon Collins
DCucks being salty because Antman was more profitable than Man of Murder
Nolan Brown
>MCUck is so desperate he has to resort to "EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS A DKEK!" Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad are fucking terrible. Now stop acting like a paranoid retard.

Robert Anderson
kek samefaggin this hard
Robert Turner
Wright has always been considered reddit. Edgar Wright is video games. Out of the 4 flicks he made The Worlds End is the one that's closest to not being a video game. Hot Fuzz is the most autism fedora tip one.
Enjoying SOTD or TWE is not something I actively participate in, but it is at least concievable. Scott Pilgrim and Hot Fuzz on the otherhand are pure Sup Forums autism manchild reddit fedora tip meme. If you enjoy them for one instant you instantly rescind your right to live. They are both autistic children gurning in your face while contorting their image to match all of their favorite meme images.
Asher Powell
Are you okay marvelcuck? take a breathe and calm down.
Gabriel Gonzalez
like how dckeks try to insult anybody who criticizes the non-WW DC films as mcushills
those films ARE legit bad. suicide squad being one of the worst films of that year period. comic book or non-comic. it's just a flat out bad movie
evansposting transcends marve/dc wars, it's just a funny reaction image, i'm not the same guy, but i've seen it used on other boards all the time
dckeks can't even enjoy that WW is doing well, they have to try and retroactively go after marvel. but the facts speak for themselves, marvel has spent time and has a road map of where they want to go, DC saw avenger bux and wanted to copy as fast they could. this is fact.
now with whedon doing JL reshoots/editing in post, it'll be obvious to see how much of it is his/studio changed vs snyder because their styles are almost complete opposites. it'll definitely be interesting to see what direction they want to forth in the future

Even Jon Favreau got sick of Marvel's meddling to the point where his own movie perfectly highlights what's wrong with Marvel's execs weighing down on their directors.
