Best comic book movie moments: 86. Ant-Man becomes Giant-Man
Comic book movie: Captain America: Civil War
Fans who only watch the Marvel Comics movies may not have known that Ant-Man could grow as well as shrink. It must have been shocking seeing him turn into Giant-Man. Us fans who knew he could be amazed. Scott Lang was shocked. That amazement added to the scene.
Scott Lang was happy and pleasantly surprised that it worked. It was the first time he tried it and he wasn’t sure what would happen. Scott then went on to use his vast size to distract Iron Man’s team while Captain America and Bucky escaped.
Everyone involved deserves a pat on the back. From the creative team that put the scene together to the actors who performed.
Best comic book movie moments: 85. Superman kills Zod
Comic book movie: Man of Steel
Zod and Superman were finishing up their city-leveling fight. Superman had his enemy’s throat, but Zod wasn’t done. He was going to kill scared and innocent bystanders. Superman pleaded with him. Seeing no other option, Superman snaps Zod’s neck. He then let out a scream that would have woken the dead.
People hate this scene because Superman doesn’t kill. The problem is this isn’t the comic book Superman. This is a darker Superman born in a different time. This was also the same Supes that was supposed to take over the world. Not only did this scene age well, it fits with where the DCEU planned on going with the future of the Justice League franchise.
