What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Guardians of the Galaxy: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. programming (programming): Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Ant-Man (the host's read). After Guardians' success with unknown characters, Ant-Man was an easy next gamble.
    “you do Ant-Man after that because you're just like, yeah, let's do Ant-Man.”

Edgar Wright: 2 lines what-if ×1 industry ×1

  1. what-if (what-if): Edgar Wright → Ant-Man. Van calls Wright leaving Ant-Man a great disappointment of his nerd movie life.
    “It's one of the greatest disappointments of my nerd movie watching life that Edgar Wright stepped away from Ant-Man.”

Aquaman (planned film): 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Aquaman (planned film) → Ant-Man. Marvel leans into a dumb hero name (Ant-Man) while DC casts a macho Aquaman to make you forget his name.
    “lay into the fact that that name is dumb.”

Captain Marvel: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Captain Marvel → Ant-Man. Each Marvel movie gets its own genre: Captain America is WWII, Ant-Man is slacker comedy, Captain Marvel is 90s sci-fi.
    “And then, what Ant-Man is like the modern day slacker dude?”

Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse → Ant-Man. The early short concept had Seth and Busta Rhymes filming a video when Ant-Man attacked.

  2. industry (industry): Ant-Man → Edgar Wright. Jason says Ant-Man still came out as a solid Marvel movie, which shows how little a director's input matters in the Marvel factory.
    “tells you a lot and maybe in a disheartening way about the way those movies are pumped out”
