FIRST TIME WATCHING: Ant Man!!

Yay for Ant Man. Another movie people said was going to absolutely bomb. Even after all the success, people still didn't have confidence in the marvel stuff. I guess after the chaotic Age of Ultron, well, burnout was starting to set in a bit. Plus no one had ever even heard of Ant Man. (Just like no one had heard of Iron Man). That they went with Scott Lang as the hero, and had Hank Pym as the older mentor, was a stroke of genius. Also an easy way to avoid all the... baggage that came with Hank Pym. See, in the comics, Hank was, sort of insecure after a bit. He really felt like he screwed up more often than he succeeded. He went through different phases, and eventually kind of snapped. He had the idea of creating an enemy, to attack the Avengers, that only he could stop. He built in a weakness that only he knew about. See, there was a bad guy named "Elfqueen" and she was fighting the Avengers, but then Captain America got her to calm down and talk, but Pym blasted her from behind, and she went aggressive again. This got Hank in trouble with the group, So like I said, his plan was to build a robot to attack the Avengers, that only he would be able to stop, so that he would look like a hero in front of everyone. Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp), also known as his wife, told him that idea was absolutely insane, so he smacked her, in a super famous character defining panel. The plan didn't even work, and Hank couldn't defeat the robot, Wasp had to do it, and Hank was expelled from the Avengers. He went on to do other stuff after that. But, the point is, in the movie Hank Pym has none of that baggage. ---- Finished the re-watch. I'm not sure I have much to say. It's cool that Hank is so likable. Like I said, there was a while when he was mostly known for domestic abuse, and generally having a nervous breakdown. Also, yeah, in the comics, Hank Pym actually created Ultron. Ultron wants to kill Hank Pym most of all. Civil War is next, and I'm sure that one will have quite a few comments.

I needed to come back to this after the Red Wedding. I still cried for Antony, though = P

getting attached to an ant hahah! we all did y.y

FatLittleButterfly

If you click on the image, its linked to YT so you should be able to watch no problem.

Darryl Low

could you upload the google drive vidoes again their full and not working thanks

Hameed M

Fun fact to "Ants can not survive this": Ants are among those species you can drop from any height within earths atmosphere, that would survive the fall. Their mass is so low compared to their surface, that air resistance would always keep them below terminal velocity.

Ulrich Unterbrunner

LOL at "They make good waffles."

Luis Torrefranca

1989 is not that long ago? I graduate high school in 1989.

Oouga

So delighted to hear that you're into Drink History! >< Hilarious AF, right!? like Luis' narrated montages! "No Doubt! No Doubt!"

JPOlsen

I came here to say this same thing. YouTubers can be real jackasses.

Troy B.

okay, gotta cut in here - your physics explanation is wrong. The force has nothing to do with an ants ability to survive a fall. The energy per kilogram of mass in free fall acceleration is the same for a gram of human mass as it is for a gram of ant mass. Its one of the very basic principles of newtonian mechanics.

DaMarkiM

Be super careful with reading Youtube comments. You might want to consider a moderator. I actually can't believe how many people think they're being clever and just end up totally spoiling stuff, which then of course gets upvoted to the top. Once you read the same "wink-wink" comment 50 times, it becomes pretty easy to connect the dots.

Tucci

Knew you'd love this! OK, very basic physics lesson here. Force equals mass times acceleration (F=MA), in other words, smaller animals have less mass meaning they can fall from much higher than people because they hit the ground with a lot less force. That said, Antman apparently maintains his mass so he can hit with a lot more power, like one of those little hammers on busses for smashing windows in an emergency. So, when he fell onto the car roof, you were wrong that ants couldn't fall that far, however right that he shouldn't have been able to survive...... it's best not to dwell to much on it!

Darren Withers

Nice reaction as peruse... Now you're getting to the best parts... Can't wait for that. Thanks for sharing. Watching this again through the eyes of someone new to them is very satisfying. Glad you are sharing this experience.

Valar Dohaeris

The entire Cornetto Trilogy actually.

Ron K

Another fantastic reaction, Nat! 😊 Paul Rudd is such a great actor. And he's perfect as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man. I knew that you were going to enjoy that Falcon appearance. I think that you're going to love the Ant-Man sequel when you get to that point. Congratulations on finishing Phase 3. Next up: the beginning of Phase 3 & one of the ones that I've been SUPER EXCITED for you to react to "Captain America: Civil War"! Until the next video Stay Golden! 💛

Randee Carreno

Nat has higher standards for villains.

Sean

Good job finishing Phase 2! So proud, and so excited to see you watch the next phase! There's some amazing ones coming up :D

Yani Dodge

Me neither! It's one of my other favorites!

Yani Dodge

I think the last time audiences got teared up over an ant dying as was in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids".

Texas Anla'Shok

Hey Jason, sometimes Google Drive gets overloaded and can't handle all the bandwidth being used. So you may have to try to download the video at a later time. I've been trying out new solutions, but haven't found a site yet that works for everyone. You can also watch the videos now embedded above in the post.

Natalie Gold

Ant-Man is kind of miraculous, as it has no business being as good as it is with the kind of production troubles it had. XD Also, love the youtube solution.

Opti_Frog

Fun fact, this film was co-written by Edgar Wright, who was also originally going to direct this, but creative differences had him leaving the film. Which is relevant because Edgar Wright directed and co-wrote Hot Fuzz, which you JUST saw!

Nicholas Sulikowski

I feel like the long Luis stories might be a touch of Edgar, if only for the editing and narrative style. I was expecting it to end up in the Winchester at some point in those stories.

Nicholas Sulikowski

Only Marvel can make you care so much about an Ant (Ant-ony) that you teared up lol.

lastboyscout73

And I’m just sitting smiling, thinking “Wait until she sees what’s coming.” Meanwhile, enjoyed watching Ant-Man with her. Let’s be honest, so much of the comedy came from Ruiz if we’re being honest. But man... I’m itching for next week. Here, to quote Han Solo, is where the fun begins. And the coaster really begins to climb.

Matthew Periolat

Squirrels are immune to fall damage.

Josh The Bard

Just loved revisiting Ant Man through Natalie's reaction. She just makes me laugh out loud (some of her commentary is crazy funny). Can't wait to see her react as phase III builds and gets to Infinity War and Endgame - I'm sure I'll be an emotional mess watching HER be an emotional mess (and excited, too, of course)!

This_Jedi_crafts

Big creepy bugs always creeped me out, but then Honey, I Shrunk The Kids changed my mind along with James and the Giant Peach. Now it's 50/50 depending on what they are doing. If they help the protagonist they are fine, trying to eat them? Kill them with fire and let the insurance company sort it out, lol

Game Wizard001

This was the one MCU movie I'd never watched before now, as people had told me it wasn't necessary*, but now that I've seen it and know what happens later, those people were clearly full of it. =P (* - Plus ants on the big screen creep me out, but on video they're not as bad!)

Troy B.

Yeah, one of the factors for how much force something suffers when it falls is the mass of the falling object itself. So from the same height a full-size Paul Rudd will have a lot less impact force than a tiny one. That said, the movies play really fast and loose with exactly how much mass a shrunken person or object has. Sometimes he lands with a lot of force, other times he's the weight of a bug.

Kevin Mowery

Baskin Robbins always finds out.

Joe Blankenship

I've always called him Thomas the Tank without the Engine part, but it's possible that I've been shortening it from the original because of the alliteration. (Saying Tank Engine instead of just Tank is like Jean-Ralphio in Parks and Rec not ending his rhymes on the rhyming part, if you're familiar.) Hearing Nat call him Thomas the Train was weird to me too. 😄

Shadowcat

I love that Nat is always surprised when villains are evil. "Why not a mouse? Lambs are cute." Yes, he's a villain. He doesn't care! I'm sure Nat just wants to find the good in everybody. She still has hopes for Loki, even though he keeps disappointing her.

Jon Hoover

Oh! That's gonna be goooooooood!!!

Jon Hoover

Yeah, the step father is one of those unusual characters who isn't bad, but doesn't like the main character, so we don't like him. We like Paul Rudd and we know that Scott is a good guy, but he is a thief and fresh out of prison. So, of course, the cop/boyfriend doesn't trust Scott, but that makes us not like him. It's the same as Pierce Brosnan in Mrs. Doubtfire. He plays a really good guy, nice and great with the kids, but he's not Robin Williams, so we don't like him.

Jon Hoover

Loved the reaction. you were in a bubbly mood :) Regarding ants falling from great heights ... that's true. They can withstand way more than any human. I'm not sure on the exact math but they could probably fall out of a tall building and be fine.

Thomas Malley

Made 9 attempts this link is not working...

Can't wait for Civil War !

Emile

Thank you for this awesome reaction, I really enjoyed all of your questions and comments so much. This video has some really great moments and one perfectly timed comment that I won't spoil for people who haven't watched yet awesome timing.

Baron

Personally, I liked the youtube link better than Google Drive. I was able to just stream thru youtube. For me, that was easier than having to download.

matthew h

Enjoyed the reaction for the most part, but damn what is with all the venom directed at the step-dad? I get that he's not fond of Scott, but if you take a second to look at it from his side, most of his experience with Rudd's character is him being a criminal. He's not really doing anything wrong, he thinks he's protecting his new step-daughter from a bad influence...it's hard enough to try and fill the role of an absent father and also just trying to do his job as a cop, Scott was caught stealing AND broke out of jail, he has to go after him. Though i guess it's all the rage nowadays to hate on cops, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Just my 2 cents.

BJ Stephens

Now I'm trying to think of what snack and beverage to pick up on my way home. Can't wait to watch it when I get off work 😀

Ronny Boss

You can just click on the image of the post to watch it on youtube. It's an unlisted video you need the link to – and the image of the post is your link to it. You can play it on this page or go through Youtube, then. Don't have to clog the gdrive-stream.

Patrick Armbruster

really enjoyable movie and it really came across in your reaction how much fun you had watching , gotta love thomas the tank engine right :) that grow shrink has such possibilities you really could have so much fun with those :)

Ian

Rewatching these movies I'm catching so many memes. Like Cassie's "he's so ugly, I love him". Hot Fuzz was loaded with memes too like Danny loading his gun saying "Shame". I feel like Cap when he said "I understood that reference". You guys know the famous one in Civil War I'm looking for

It Hurt A Lot

Next up is Captain America: Civil War. Can't wait!

Cultured Degenerate

I see so many Americans calling Thomas "The Train". Was it renamed when it aired in the US? It was originally called Thomas the Tank Engine.

Adam Barry

Omg, I can't wait to see you watch Civil War. All I'll say is prepare yourself

Anthony Campbell

I'd vote to stay with google as well, as I am having similar issues downloading. Looking forward to watching tonight!

Andrew Trail

Amazing as always... I am so looking forward to you watching the rest of the MCU... you say so many things that are so funny or/and insightful in the hindsight of us who have seen it all... keep it up please and thank you for this content

Jakub C

Please keep using google drive! My internet sucks and streaming is a lot easier than waiting forever on a download, thanks for the videos :)

Ty Rogers

You can do that now in any browser with no extension needed. I am watching it now in Firefox with the video popped out. Just mouse over the video, button is on the right side.

JediLounger

Thanks Nat, your reaction was really great! It's a real pity that you're phobic of insects, they're still animals full of love 🐛 haha And yes, some ants can use electro-magnetic fields but it's a little more complex and different from what you imagine (besides it's not the craziest thing with insects). And Your reaction about "THE ant (Anthony) was so cuute, I almost melted 😆 However, there's only one negative point, I can't download with the new platform, every time it fails, I hope you'll come back to google drive Stay Golden and thanks again to share with us!

Calo Grsf

On a separate note, there were a bunch of memes where people say they want a whole movie where it is just the Marvel movie phases being retold by Luis, which I think would be hilarious.

Chief

As with the others, trying to download kept failing over and over.

Chief

Nat: Ewww the ants! Also Nat: Awww the ants!

The Golgothan

Here's a tip for anyone using the Youtube video, get the Chrome extension "Popout for Youtube." This lets you put the Youtube video into a simple, small window without all the other stuff around it. Makes it a lot easier to watch the reaction along with the movie.

Tom Evans

Civil War is next!!! Can't wait for you to see this one. Please be soon!!!

Jayson Phillips

Loved it!!! Yes Ant-Man is in more movies =-)

Jayson Phillips

Nat's embedded video is linked directly to Youtube, so you don't need to download it to watch it.

Darryl Low

Yeah, the Google Drive link was much better and now you are including the unlisted YouTube link that will reduce the strain on the Google Drive bandwidth so that users that want to download will have a much better chance as the majority will probably watch the YouTube link.

Neil

An acapella group I follow posts their music videos on Vimeo with a password for their patrons and I’ve never had any issues watching them.

Ben Wheeler

Once again I submit the idea that someone should make a torrent of this... but I wonder if there's a way to keep a torrent private amongst only a select few (us)? I guess one way would be to encrypt the file with a password, so only the patreons know what the password is? A torrent would make the downloads happen within a few minutes at most.

Thomas Malley

click on the thumbnail above and get it directly from youtube

James Young

Problems here too. Download won't even start

Bob Criswell

Unfortunately, I've tried twice to download and both times the download failed at 12%.

Jonnygadfly

Yes, not sure if this new provider has a download limit but either the download bandwidth they are allowing each connection is miniscule or your patrons have brought this service to its knees. Yes, the youtube link is a better option for now.

James Young

Perhaps unintuitively, the smaller you are, the easier it is to survive a fall. A rat could fall from a skyscraper and probably be just walk it off. A whale would probably explode.

Omni Jacala

The problem with Google Drive is that it is limited to 2 TB file transfer a month for individuals, You could try mega(mega. nz), they offer up to 16 TB monthly. You could also try using multiple hosts(Drive, Sync, Mega). If one doesn't work then people can just try the next one Peer-to-Peer file transfer could be the answer via torrent. Torrent in itself is completely fine, just depends on the data being shared(In this case it would be fine). Just throwing ideas out there :)

No, I didn't realize that until someone earlier commented.

Rime Pendragon

Yeah, personally, I'm having trouble downloading and opening it too. I never had a problem with the Google Drive. Just giving feedback.

Jon Hoover

Next up, "Civil War".....where's the Time Stone when you need it?

David Trumble

Yea, this is very slow. It could be that Natalie is trying a free account and the free accounts are intentionally slowed down. I can't believe that any business would survive long by making people pay for download speeds like this.

Alan Kobb

The download link keeps failing for me, but I think the youtube option will be a fine substitute.

Tony Johnson

Then failed.

Matthew Shaver

I don't know who told you about this site or where you found it but as slow as Google Drive was, this is way worse. Also, it may just be a coincidence, but my anti-virus decided to run a full scan immediately after the DL timed out so this may not be the most secure/reliable site.

The Golgothan

Download from Sync keeps restarting :-(

Matthew Shaver

Woop! Really like Ant Man though it does feel like a movie torn between Edgar Wright's original vision (well timed next to the HF reaction too!) and something a bit more in line with the general Marvel aesthetic. You've got to believe the Thomas the Tank Engine stuff is pure Edgar.

Martin Heron

Great reaction! I can tell you the next 3 films are some of the great ones! Civil war amazing! Guardians 2 just wait! Doctor Strange is a “strange“ one! but really fantastic! probably my favourite! mcu character! So really looking forward to seeing your reaction to that one! ❤️✨

VidKris

Guys, you realize you can just click on the image for a youtube link? Then just use Y2mate to download the file if you want.

Lorenzo Turner

Don't worry Nat I suck at geography too 😀 jk 😆

Ian

Marvel Monday got my cakes let's go 💛

Ian

Great stuff Nat. Thank you 💛 Was looking forward to seeing what you made of this movie, and I'm really glad you had fun with it. Lots of good moments and great visuals, and poor old Ant-thony! Can't wait until the next one.

Darryl Low

Thank you for trying different downloading solutions. I think Insync.com is a fail. I started the download 5 minutes ago and I am less than 1% completed

Don Struble

Yay! Been looking forward to this one. Depending on how you look at it, this is either Marvel's heist film or their family film; I think it works as both. Getting ready to cue up my copy. Hope you're doing well with the increased amount of videos you're doing so far. Take care, Nat. Cheers.

Andy Jordan

Yeah, slow download. Varies between 200-400 KB/s, so download time of 1-3h. Youtube link is a good idea, though. No need to download.

Heretic

Oh, thanks! I did not notice that!

Rime Pendragon

Hmm, Google Drive worked flawlesly for me, with real time streaming, this is a step in the wrong direction.

Yes it's... Veery slow to download.

Quarty

Hey guys, now that she is putting them unlisted on youtube, no need to download anything anymore. Just watch the embedded link.

JediLounger

Getting very low download speeds... 70-80 KB /sec, that's a 6-7 hour download :-(

Rime Pendragon

That’s my Monday evening sorted then! Really loved Ant Man when I saw it in the cinema, Paul Rudd can do no wrong, especially if it’s his Mac & Me joke he’s been repeating on Conan for a decade!

Andy Crawley
