Jemele and Michael in Cage? That's rich. Good on them...I'd prefer a return of His and Hers (NNL) to them showing up randomly...still laughing at that Boyz n' the Hood parody..."and get them damn babies out the street!"

I wasn't a huge fan of SC6. Honestly, ESPN was screwing around with them well before the fallout, but I truly do miss their chemistry...

To the thread - as it regards Ant-Man and MCU flicks, in a more general sense: Does anyone else feel like MCU ventures are becoming formulaic? In the way of full disclosure, I've been here on this issue for a minute. I don't speak on the matter much, even with friends, because I often get labeled as a contrarian or "crazy." Some of my boys have morphed into these semi-creepy non-objective super-fans who have bought so very much into the "phases" of Kevin Feige's master plan that efforts at discussion become either obnoxious, or flat out impossible. The films usually have the accoutrements and trappings to be expected of a solid "box-office winner," but I always know when to expect the laugh and when to anticipate gravitas. To me, they often don't feel very organic and many of the experiences bleed into others given the almost cookie-cutter similarities. The last three films that I truly enjoyed as standouts were Guardians (1), Strange, and Panther...personal fandom of the complement of characters involved notwithstanding...
