The Ant-Man brand: boring, inoffensive but accessible

I couldn't stand "Ant-Man and the Wasp" - it bored me to tears.

But I can see how some people would be attracted to it because it's so inoffensive ... to the extent that it doesn't even have a real villain.

It's still kind of weird to see Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Bobby Cannavale, etc, people I'd never think of as boring actors, in these films.

I thought the first film was boring, but the second was much more fun.

The only way to make Ant Man appealing is to work with the ridiculousness of his powers, he's not a superhero anyone can take seriously. The second film was very funny, that's what the property needed.
